Lol Arlington must be viewing that play at the plate from the grassy knoll.

---

I re-watched the play on the Rangers broadcast and they showed a lot more angles. His entire foot was clearly above (as in, not touching) the plate in that pic (from another angle). Honestly, I think it was not being able to see clearly where his heel landed at the end that saved him, and maybe NY not wanting to overturn that kind of play.

---

i saw the views. the reason they did not overturn the call on the field is there is no conclusive evidence. his foot pops up after what looks like he caught the edge of the plate. but, the video can't see it. so, if they had said he was out, then that call would have stood.

its hard to take the fandom out of it. but, in my eyes, he caught the edge of the plate. but, he very well could have missed the edge by a millimeter and his spike dug the dirt and not the plate. no one will ever know.

---

I'm pretty much with you. I thought where his foot came up and came back down were both inconclusive. To me, neither looked like they touched, but neither showed that he clearly didn't touch. Not trying to argue for him to be out here, btw.

Edit: The view at the 38 second mark is the best view imo, but I still think inconclusive:

Saw a report somewhere that the Mariners may have interest in Bellinger. That's assuming they will be buyers I guess.

On another note, the Angels would be extremely dumb not to trade Ohtani and get a haul for him. I hope they continue to be dumb.

So lesson learned: don't order things from the team store to ship. Just go in person

2 weeks after ordering gold jersey and I've still not heard anything about when/if it will arrive

My wife's jersey was just delivered by FedEx and we ordered the same day you posted that you bought yours.

Is there a way you can cancel for a refund? I live so close to the park and pass it every day on the way to/from the gym that I could just grab it for you.

Please let today be Free Yordan Day

Hoping for free Yordan and Altuve. Also signing JV. Think we go 1/3. 2/3 would be amazing. 3/3 and my pants are off.

I'm hoping so. I have diamond club seats tonight. Astros fan my whole life and this is the first time I've ever had seats like this. I'm pretty stoked

---

That's awesome, hope you're in for a treat. My buddy and I sure got our money's worth last night with or without Yordan.

Insert the gif of the ranger player grabbing another player by the junk.

Where's that new JV classic that's supposed to be rolling into my garage?

I called and they said I cant cancel, they just gave me an email address to send an inquiry to. Oh well… I'm sure it'll come in soon, but just frustrating it's taken so long.

I could have just gone in person a few days later but I didnt know how long the 50% off would last and I was out of town.

I got a notification from FedEx mine is being delivered tomorrow. I wasn't in a rush to get it but was starting to get a little worried. The label was created last Friday (the 21st) and did not reach a fedex facility until the 25th. I placed the order on the 15th.

That's good. I'm guessing mine will be here tomorrow

And same… no hurry but at a point it was like how and why is this taking so long. I assumed it would be sent the next business day or something

My thing is:

This level of minutia is not what replay is supposed to be about. Kyle clearly beat the throw home and slid straight through the plate. Standing above the plate all you can see is did he cross it and did he slide with his foot down and that's all that should matter. Not did he slide in such a way his cleat was technically 3mm above the plate, that's not baseball.

---

This 100%. I'm glad we have replay in all sports. But at some point common sense has to prevail. Tuck beat the throw and had a legal, safe slide. He's safe. Game over.

If he slid with his leg up or something obvious, then sure, over turn it.

Also, he beat the throw by so much I'm not positive his knee/tucked leg didn't beat the tag as well. Looked like that leg was sitting on the plate when tagged. But again, it doesn't matter. His foot beat the throw by a mile.

If we want to be technical enough, at the microscopic level isn't everything just atoms in clouds of various densities near each other? Does anything ever actually touch anything?

Nerd

Isn't that a given on a thread where we all spend days debating at the margins on things like xFIP and SIERA?

Unfortunately, it is how baseball interprets it. If a guy slides with his hand on 2nd, is tagged, and there is a 0.5 second gap between his hand and knee not being on the bag at the same time while the tag is still applied, baseball will call it out.

I think it's stupid, but they've been doing it for years.

Hope you didn't pay full price. They have them in stock at the store for >50% off.

Get there early to eat and enjoy the club. Get the fried chicken. Also don't forget later it the game to go back into the club and hit up the ice cream sundaes and the great candy table.

Unfortunately, tomorrow is Pressly World Series replica ring night - everyone in the Diamond Club gets the give aways. Tonight you get Hello kitty.
