April 14th vs The Blue Jays

[RShack]

Well I think it was defensive indifference...although I don't know why you'd let another runner get into scoring position with only 1 out.

Geez Payton out at the plate, can the catcher really come out and block the base path like that?

As long as he's doing it to get the throw, he can do pretty much anything he wants...

payton did a good job on that play. He was pretty much dead to rights but still made some hard contact with the catcher. . . . in contrast with LH a few innings prior.

Gameday says it was a steal.

That may be what they called it but it wasn't. No throw and no one covered 2nd.

Well Payton is still inthe game so he must not hurt that much.

[McNulty]

Payton is still in the game

That's what we get for talking smack about Stewart's arm earlier. :002_ssad:

D-indifference...which is a BS rule IMO...

Couldn't agree more, that's just insanely ridiculous. It should not be counted against a base runner.

Is this a ruling by the official scorer? Can or will they go back and change the scoring on Jones? Right now it's a SB on Gameday.

I mean I get blocking the plate, but he was a good three feet up the base path and basically tripped Payton coming to the plate.

If tripping on the catcher is hard contact then yes.

Even with the mishap at the plate, it was still a good 8th inning... which I'm always glad to see... I'm still kinda scared of 8th innings from last year...

First hit given up by George Sherrill this season. Now Thomas flies out.
