Pudge dropped the 3rd strike and Melvin eventually went to first. Umps decided Melvin went out of the baseline, but event the Yankee announcers are calling it a sketchy call.

I'd love to hear the explanation on that one...because Mora definitely didn't go out of the baseline. He's walking along it and presumably someone yells to run to first which he does and then continues to second.

I don't think I've ever seen Trembley that pissed. And he never looked like he got mad at the umps until he got tossed...I wonder if he was more mad at GETTING tossed?

Yeah, but he had a good reason. The umps decided to call Melvin out just because he had a foot on the grass and after a conference. Most guys run farther outside the baseline on a basehit. Should be Huff up with guys on second and third.

Umps seemed to just want to be nice to the Yankees since they left the field before the play was officially over.

For what it's worth, this is probably the applicable rule/comment here:

Rule 6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate.

So he was out as soon as he stepped on the grass, I guess.

As much as Trembley spazzed, I think his argument was right. I mean it was a dropped strikeout. And Mora just kept on jogging around the basepaths.

Looks like this game is going to get heated even more so than it already is.

Really? It looked to me like he was clearly on a path to the dugout and changed directions when he started running toward first. I honestly think the umps got it right. Mora and Pudge were both sleeping on the job. Unfortunately for us our guy's brain fart canceled out their guy's brain fart.

Well, you're alone on that. Even Michael Kay thought the call was "sketchy."

It's been verified - you love the Orioles less than Michael Kay. ;)

What an impossible rule to put into effect. Just how long a pause between swinging and running is allowed? Do they use a stopwatch?

Nice pull, though.

Well to clarify...I'm not saying he wasn't going to the dugout. I'm just saying that he wasn't necessarily out of the baseline. At least not anymore than batters are on most balls put into play.

But what I'm saying is that Trembley was doing his usual calm chat thing and then all of a sudden West tossed him. THEN he got really upset so I wonder if he got more mad at getting tossed. And what he said that got him tossed at that? I mean, he wasn't animated at all, maybe it was "all talk"?

      Agreed, but it just seems a little more pronounced with Jorge.

      That can be said about most hitters in the major leagues.

      If you execute your slider, you are in good shape against Mateo. If you hang your slider, RIP.

      Yes - see Tony’s top 75 prospect ratings for last offseason. Miguel was ranked 35th. Strong defensive catcher with plus contact skills. Power was absent last year but emerged yesterday. I’d expect he’ll be top 15 by end of year.

      Baseball will change, there's almost no doubt about that. But it's very unlikely to change back to the ways of 50 or 100 years ago because there's no competitive advantage to do so. It will probably change in ways that we don't fully expect, and that haven't happened before. Unless the powers-that-be change the rules and conditions, which they've always been very reluctant to do, the strategies of today are the strategies of today because they win a lot more games than the strategies of 1970. I think it's more likely that we see individual pitchers pitch even less in each outing (although possibly more frequently) than it is we go back to complete games. Even if the rules are changed, say you can only have nine pitchers on the roster like was common 50 years ago, today's GMs and managers would just use each pitcher for three innings every three games instead of a four-man rotation with lots of complete games.

      I try to not get too caught up in Mateo but I have to be honest. Watching him in person is just a treat. Love that he is playing so well and continue to be happy he is still an Oriole.

      Isn't is just weird that it took 100+ years to figure that out? Hey, that guy hits a bunch of balls right through the box, maybe we should have the second baseman move over that direction a little? Nah, if we do it so will everybody, and we like .350 hitters even when they're on the other team. It would be like a football game where there's a formation where a WR keeps getting completely open downfield and busting 40 yard plays, and it takes 35 years for defenses to adjust. "It's just how it is! If we cover that guy, then the running back might average five yards a carry!"
