Upton chops a high bouncer towards 1B.

Tex charges and takes the ball on the grass, double-clutches his throw to the plate to get the runner coming from third and changes his mind. He throws the ball to Santana covering 1B but the ball gets by as Upton runs through 1B. kendrick picks up the ball beyond 1B and tags Upton, and ump calls Upton out for making an attempt to 2B, which was not correct. Maddon comes out to argue and gets tossed.

Umpires judgment right there.

Willie Mays Aikens is FREeeeeeeee

by Angel Aviator on Aug 19, 2008 5:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well, I cannot argue judgment. Mine would have been different.

I just ran the replay on the DVR. Upton was running directly up the foul line. In his final stride to touch 1B, Santana tries to catch the throw from Tex and step back to touch the bag, but he is still 2 feet down the line towards home from the bag itself. And his left foot is about to touch the foul line. This forces Upton to flail and hop to his left as his right leg must now go around Santana and reach back to touch the bag. Upton is now offbalance and runnign on the grass, wheras two strides earlier he was on the foul line. As Upton comes to a stop, his track takes him arcing from 1 foot on the grass, back to 6 inches on the infield dirt as he reaches the back of the infield. He stops, facing Kendrick who is in foul territory.

Yeah, it probably crossed his mind for a flash of a second, but weak sauce, man, weak sauce.

I have no problem with the call

I thought he made a faint at 2nd even on reply. Understand Maddon being upset but not enough to get kicked out. I think that had a lot to do with Joe sitting Upton for not hustling and now he was going to stick up for his guy. Smart man Maddon is

Here's the rule:

© He is tagged, when the ball is alive, while off his base. EXCEPTION: A batter-runner cannot be tagged out after overrunning or oversliding first base if he returns immediately to the base;

The umps interpretation is that starting to move towards second and the changing your mind IS NOT returning immediately to the base.

Same old Howie

No plate discipline, at any level, and it’s finally caught up to him.

Witty .sig goes here.

by scareduck on Aug 19, 2008 6:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

this game has more than enough blame to go around

Their Shields had an 87 mph fastball the entire game and they only got 2 runs.

Soth took Shields out at the weirdest time.

And Mathis proved once again that he should be the backup catcher.

that was right down the middle, Juan

don’t worry about swinging.

i've hated him as much the entire year

at first it was just because he took playing time away from Naps, but now it’s legit.

Thanks for the game review, 13.

It was awesome to watch how well the Rays play baseball while we play like assbites.

Scioscia for blame of the game

Shields throws ball after ball after ball after ball and he’s left in there to blow the game and for some reason Mathis is starting when Naps has an OPS advantage of OVER 1300 points in August. Yes you read that correctly 1300 points.

FUCK YOU Soth

by MH252525 on Aug 19, 2008 6:33 PM PDT reply actions  

Shields certainly deserves blame

But I’m more annoyed we had to endure that much of him when it was CLEAR he had no idea about the strikezone.

Not about the AL WEST

bigger fish,,,,,,,,,urrrrrrrrr Rays to fry

Am I the only one not worried?

The Rays are good, and injured, but we’ve caught them at times when we’re cold.
If we’re cold in the playoffs we could lose to the Nats.
We’ll be fine and this team is still the most complete in MLB.

There is issues

Goal is to be WS Champs not just have a winning record ask Arte

Last I checked...

TB was playing w/out their two best players too…

Pretty pathetic! When was the last time we beat TB?

Carl Crawford is not one of our best players.

This year he’s probably our second worst regular hitter only ahead of Bartlett.
