    Yes.

    Why the heck is Black arguing, any overrule could scratch the run they just scored, surely?

    He shouldn't have thrown the ball to the backstop.

    Runner on 3rd ... you let that ball go foul. I have said this before in a similar situation at a Braves nats game. It should be done in practice , routine decision making

    Amazing catch by Davis, and outstanding that he could complete the catch. Yes, the throw was not great, but I doubt he would have gotten the out considering how long it took him to get out of the dugout to be able to throw. Thankfully we got out of further damage.
    And yeah, probably would have been wise to just let it fall, but I was just praising Davis's athleticism.

    Davis should definitely play only 1B. He's a really great defender there, IMO.

    2 bullshit bloop hits and a walk and a 20 foot sac fly. Frustrating. ****tard fan's run looks pretty damn huge right now.

    Eschenfelder is so bad.

    When is Kalas going to be back?

    So the run was charged to Smith, and not Sipp, even though the man who scored got on base while Sipp was pitching. Is it because he got on due to a fielder's choice, and the scorer assumes the lead runner scored instead?

    Runner was out by 6 feet if he makes a good throw. And no, you do not intentionally let that ball drop.

    Davis really should be on another roster... he should have been dealt already... along with AAAA Astros brigade of AJ Reed, Tyler White and Jack Mayfield.

    My initial thought was not to let it intentionally fall, I edited after reading another guy's comment. Gotta go with your initial instincts. Edit: Okay, yeah, I agree with Senator. Off-balance landing, maybe catching it wasn't wise, but anyway, what's done is done. Not arguing more, but I am still amazed he held on. Bad throw, but Davis belongs at first base anyways.

    Given the situation, you do. Not sure why people are expecting him to make a perfect throw after flipping over a 3 foot fence and being totally off balance. Davis is not a defensive player or someone who should be on a champ roster, but situational awareness should have waved off the attempt.
