So honest question about the Altuve replay homer. Ump said he didn't have to round the bases. But if a batter misses a base while running out a homerun they are called out.

What would've happened if the twins appealed to first base or home plate for that matter?
I didn't see an answer to this and I'm curious too. Is there a rule that if a home run is called on a replay the batter doesn't have to run the bases? Can umpire make a decision like this on his own?


Did we just find a break in the matrix?


I think the rule about having the circle the bases got changed after this a few years ago

Journeyman named Rennie Stennett, and yep he died 3 weeks ago. 7-for-7 with 5 runs scored and 2 RBis.

Feel free to enjoy this box score. The Cubs doing it up Cub-Style a good 46 years ago.

that's a great boxscore.

and the Pirates' manager didn't have a problem batting three lefties back-to-back-to-back in the 3-4-5 spots.

of course when it's Al Oliver, Willie Stargell, and Dave Parker --- that's an easy call

Manny Sanguillen went 7 for 7 for the Pirates in the 70's.

Nah. Just bored and wanting to watch more baseball. I figured I could watch a end of a game and root against the A's

Another team just got screwed by replay on a play at the plate in Oakland.

That was a really close play at the plate. Was probably safe but they couldn't overturn it.

Here is to many more.

Using three total pitchers isn't what I'd call a bullpen game.

Not in that sense where you are piecing together 9 innings from the bullpen.

In the sense of the game was going to be decided by the performance of the bullpens. Hasn't been our forte this year. Thinking of the run about 2 weeks ago where the pen couldn't hold a lead.

Ended up being a 2 run margin tonight, but the Astros have a grand total of just 5 one-run wins this year. A's have 12 and Mariners' have 13. That kind of game.

They really are turning into that Rangers team a few years ago that simply couldn't lose close games.

So why do you have to touch 1st base on a normal home run?

That makes sense. I'd always only heard the term though when you had a starter last only a couple and you had to piece it together.

I don't normally drop $5 on salsa, but I really wanted to try this so I picked up a jar. Kroger in Katy by Firethorne was well stocked this morning.

I think that's exactly what a bullpen game is. That's different than saying "this one will be decided by the bullpen". When you hear announcers or coaches say it's going to be a bullpen game they mean using several pitchers due to the starter not being expected to go many innings. it's not a bullpen game when your starter goes 7 innings. But in context, we knew what you meant.

I think it was a little cheaper at HEB. I picked some up yesterday. For a "jar" salsa it is pretty good. I tried it on an omelet this morning and it has good flavor.

I'll echo that for a "jar" salsa it's alright. It's not going to just absolutely blow you away. I don't like salsa to be particularly hot, and the heat level on this was just right for me. My go-to salsa is Mateo's medium, and it's very similar in heat level. Flavor profile is totally different. Breggy is more lime/acid forward. I personally like cilantro in salsa, and this has none. For some that might be a plus, but for me I kinda felt like something was missing. It's not unenjoyable, it's just not quite my preference. That being said, the novelty is definitely there, and I'll probably be picking up some jars for friends and family that are Astros fans just because of that.

That might be the best breakdown for anything on this thread all season.
