[Why Not?]

It was a high fly ball, and it hit the wall and didn't bounce away from Ibanez. He picked it up and hit the cutoff man right away.

Come on people... it may be rare to see a runner not score from second on that play, but give the M's some credit for a textbook example of how to hit the cutoff and nail a runner.

This is NOT the time or place to be reasonable.

Hi all:)

Wow I can refresh this and read what happens before it happens on mlb.tv haha

[rolliefingers]

Thanks rshack. I was really confused for a while there because everyone was upset but no one said what actually happened, LOL

And I think some infield practice and baserunning practice is going to be happening tomorrow with these guys. DaveT must be BOILING right now.

It's tough to say for sure because they never showed a full synced up replay showing where everyone was when the ball was caught.

Also, WOO!

I'm not a baseball player, and I could tell on TV that that ball was either gone or off the wall, he should have been at third and rounding when the ball landed. Even if Ibanez makes a webgem, he isn't going to be able to set himself and throw you out from the wall.

Huff's instincts and feet were slow on that one.

That baserunning doesnt exactly make up for the huff blunder but..

Rare Ichiro mistake. All right Nick. Time to tie this baby up.

[McNulty]

Sweet....now we're down by 1....lets get some positive energy going here and forget those first 5 innings.

[Jagwar]

Not if you're paying attention to the game and you realize that you're in one of the largest parks in MLB. He easily could have made it back from 3/4. Especially because he was going to collide with the wall anyway.

I must have missed the part where my coaches told me to go halfway on a flyball to the outfield, but 3/4 if I think the outfielder is going to collide with the wall (which BTW, Ibanez did not do).

Again, give the M's credit for making the play

[baseballnelie]

Awesome triple by Mora, great hustle. Got a good bounce too off the wall

[HeatherC12]

YAY for the run!!!

[NOVA OriolesFan]

Tie game. Right back in this thing.

My bad on that and they did make the play, but Huff completely screwed that up.

[RShack]

I'm fairly certain this isn't true. He was halfway, and Jones was right next to him when the ball dropped. The problem is that Huff couldn't win a footrace with Sid Fernandez.

Well, all I saw was that, as the ball was heading to the OF, Huff was about halfway and then headed back to 2B and disappeared from view because of the camera following the ball. After that, I didn't see Huff again until he was rounding 3B, so I don't know exactly what he did after he headed back to 2B.
