I never heard that one, and I have been around baseball awhile.

I think he's referring to blocking the plate or not, not interference, that one is pretty easy to determine.

Good thing he hit that to the deepest part of the park.

We have to get more runs because I bet they’re gonna try and get López in.

Wow, 413 is pretty deep there.

Dayum. Here at the ballpark that ball looked long gone off Walker's bat. Lots of ground in CF

With a huge wall, to boot.

Good job Danny. Now let’s score some more. 

[dtk9119]

Great job by Columbe. 

[TopGunnar]

Great job offense with the answer, great job Danny C. How about we see Jorge Lopez 2.0 for the 8th

Just because this is funny

Does anyone else watch on MLB.tv and get all of these “balance of nature” commercials? They are….something.

I would NOT go with Lopez today unless its a big lead...

I got totally fooled on that flyball.  I thought it was gone and bounce into the park and Cedric was just throwing it in.    Then I noticed the score was the same still.   Then I thought maybe it was the earlier homerun and they showed a replay but I didnt think either the homers  went out to center.  I finally figured out that it was a fly out.

The rule is that more or less when the runner gets the ball and makes a move to tag, the baseline is established and the runner can go 3 feet on either side.  But it looked like he was more than 3 feet away from the established baseline.

I don't like this rule. This is not a game of dodge. If the ball beat you on the baseline, you're out. I can only understand that for plays at the bases.

Agree.  He had a 10.80 ERA in August (In 10 IP).

Pretty sure Lopez is pitching today no matter. Hyde isn't shy about baptism by fire.
