OT Beaver Baseball

[CupWizier]

Another reason why this isn’t a sport.

Huh? Because rain and the danger of lightning is a possibility so it's not a sport?

<shakes head>

 

[Haakzilla]

Why was it bad? What was wrong with the call?

...absolutely total bullshit call is what it was! And then this inning they didn't call interference when Arkansas runner got in the way of Madrigal

Again I ask, what was wrong with the call? Did the umpire apply the rules incorrectly?

 

[CupWizier]

Why was it bad? What was wrong with the call?

Because he didn't interfere with the fielder as he ducked and didn't even start towards the SS until after the ball was thrown. Guys in the booth agree with me.

 

[CupWizier]

no he didn't apply the rule correctly. He said the runner ran into the SS and that wasn't the case.

Did the runner slide into the force play?

...were you watching the game -or- are you just being an asshole Duck fan troll, serious question?!

 

[Haakzilla]

...and now our lead-off guy gets hit by pitch and they don't call it WOW!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

...were you watching the game -or- are you just being an asshole Duck fan troll, serious question?!

I'm watching the game.

I'm a Duck fan.

Not drunk.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

...were you watching the game -or- are you just being an asshole Duck fan troll, serious question?!

I wasn't watching at their time; I am watching it now. I'm asking legitimately because I'd like to know why people are saying it was a bad call.

Also "platypus" moniker is because I root for both the Beavers and Ducks

And I don't troll.

 

[CupWizier]

Did the runner slide into the force play?

He was several feet away from the base and the rule the umpire cited was he ran into the SS. That's why it is a bad call.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Commentators are saying he ran out of the base path and toward the fielder, altering his play, which is interference regardless of contract according to rule 8-4.c.1

 

[CupWizier]

and now another fucked up call. They reviewed and made the right call that it was fair, but no way is the batter held to 1st base on that.

Agree. Grenier should've been put on 2nd.

That was only an explanation and as a player that played all the way through college and was mostly a middle infielder, I disagree with the call as did the 2 ex major league players in the booth. That rule is not black and white.

 

[CupWizier]

Agree. Grenier should've been put on 2nd.

They fucked the Beavers over twice on that one play. It should have been called fair and Kwan might have scored on that play and Grenier would have easily been on second.

You'd think on a call that close, it's better to call it fair and let it play out, then overturn if you're wrong, rather than what they did. Just like in football, where it's better not to blow a pay dead unless you're absolutely certain. It's just impossible to recreate actual gameplay, bit it's generally possible to reverse it.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

With all this pitching incompetence, I don't think anyone can legitimately blame the Beavers' present position on the umps.

...game would be tied if the bogus calls didn't happen, regardless of the "pitching incompetence"

Home field advantage will do that to you.

Gotta even it up tonight!

So, you're saying you're not a Razorback this week....?

Least I don’t root for the Pedo Beavs

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I was rooting for them to pull Heimlich from the game the moment I turned it on.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It was a complete joke.

But beyond that, let's not pretend both OSU and UO campuses don't (and haven't) had several criminals on their campuses over the years....

Yeah, but I don’t recall many of those criminals being chimos.

That still played after the news broke...

You're right.

The Ducks did a much better job of keeping the rape story covered up.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

You're right.

That’s not really comparable, for one they played while being investigated so innocent till proven guilty am I correct? Also, the players were expelled and iirc they weren’t convicted. Not saying they didn’t do it, they probably did but it could’ve been a Duke lacrosse story too behind the scenes.

 

[Propagandist]

Man, fuck a whole lot of this Beaver Baseball garbage. Next thing you know we'll be talking about the fucking Timbers.
