Saturday, August 26: Felix Bautista Bobblehead Day

Only thing I can figure is his kicked out leg when he receives the throw would be considered blocking.

[seak05]

I get the call, that's why you see Adley set up in front of the plate, he was definitely blocking, and there wasn't really anywhere for Austin to slide...but the ball clearly beat him and he was definitely out. That's a hard call to swallow if you're the Rockies for sure

[oriolediehard]

The Rockies really desperately want that 49th win that they were deprived of by the Rays. I guess they will celebrate in the streets of Denver!!

I am venting!!

[schittenden]

I called that here from 244. Told the guy next to me they were going to win the challenge on a blocking violation because he stood in front of the plate without the ball. He said, “in real life, he’s out.” I said, “this isn’t real life, it’s baseball.”

[Yossarian]

That's the kind of call a last place team like the Rockies has go against them.  It was not a good call. 

[Spy Fox]

I don't agree with the interpretation, but that's not the first time I've seen them call safe on something like that. Diaz was blocking/on top of the plate before receiving the ball, and you're now technically supposed to be in front of it. 

[Alasdaire]

I will say that I don't think there should be deference to the call on the field there. Just call it how you see it on review.

[Gurgi]

Glad the play went our way but honestly the umpires call it either way depending on what day it is.  It is so subjective.  

I guess it really just makes sure they dont have collisions anymore.  For that they have succeeded.

That's what I'm thinking too it was Diaz's leg stretched out blocking the plate.

[Hank Scorpio]

Is this dude’s fastball THAT good that his changeup is that effective? 

Yeesh.

[EddeeEddee]

Don't like this ump's strike zone even if it's working in Bradish's favor too.  

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Geez. Aldey is getting owned by Flexen tonight.

[Gurgi]

How is this pitcher dominating us?  Its embarrassing to be honest. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

For whatever reason, ADLEY looks terrible against Flexen. He can’t seem to pick up the change up at all. But at least we got a gift run 

[Moose Milligan]

I can’t believe we are making Flexen look this good.
