Last night sucked but it sucks to win a series against the team with the best record in baseball yet lose a game in the division. Worthless Rangers. The As now get to play a series again the worst team in baseball
I'll give Marwin the benefit of the doubt because he has a cannon and it's a short left field. I'm thinking he thinks that if he can field the ball cleanly he's got the guy at home and he feels better about his chances of making the throw vs. diving. But, yeah, in hindsight if you've got Marisnick, Springer, Reddick, or probably even Kemp in LF at that point then they make the diving grab and the inning is over.jetch17 said:

A TAG is the action of a fielder in touching a base with his body while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove; or touching a runner with the ball, or with his hand or glove holding the ball (not including hanging laces alone), while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove. It is not a tag, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his touching a base or touching a runner, the fielder drops the ball. In establishing the validity of the tag, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball. If the fielder has made a tag and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the tag, the tag shall be adjudged to have been made.

I heard some BS about how the review office said something like "he was touched by a lace of the glove" and this is directly from the MLB rule book on how a tag is defined. Note the section in bold:Quote:

ESPN said it was the laces last night on the broadcast. If that is what the reviewer said, he should be suspended at a minimum.bkag9824 said:Finn Maccumhail said:schmellba99 said:

A team on a streak has to respect the streak. If you think you are winning because you are posting the same pair of ass cheeks straddling an oversized baseball after every win, then you are! And you should know that!AMW2010 said:

never go ass to mouth.Quote:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagiousinfection. It's caused by viruses from the Enterovirusgenus, most commonly the coxsackievirus. These viruses can spread from person-to-person through direct contact with unwashed hands or surfaces contaminated with feces

If the Astros want to win the AL West, then it looks like they're just going to have to win every game until the end of the season.
Or if we do, it means they took out both the Yankees and the Red SoxGreat_I_Am said:
You've got to give the A's credit, they've kept battling....I expect the Astros to ultimately win the division, but I don't want to see the A's in the playoffs.

It's crazy, if we win the division we play Cleveland, who will have the worst record amongst AL playoff teams. The Red Sox will play the Wild Card team who is going to have a better record than Cleveland.
