5/10 Yankees at O's

ball 4 on nick, catcher throws to 2nd...jones overslides base...tagged out

[sector7g]

He touched the base and then over slide and was tagged out. Still a BS call IMO.

Why is it a BS call? Not ragging on you, genuinely curious.

Yeah, it's a correct call, I just haven't ever seen it before. A walk isn't a dead-ball situation, so he can be called out after he touches second.

AJ ran on ball 4 went past the base. Gary Thorne's all time favorite player tagged AJ. The ump called him out.

Please give a recap, Gameday just had it as a walk to Nick and a caught stealing by Jones, how did he manage that?

Jones was running prior to Nick drawing the walk. The throw came down to second after the ump called ball four, and Jones overslid the bag and was tagged out.

If there had been a walk and Jones took a couple steps past the bag and was tagged he would have been called out just the same. Just an unfortunate time to overslide the bag.

The second base umpire is supposed to put his hands in there air signaling that the play is dead since the runner has no idea. I see it all the time and the runners just slow down and walk into second. Why wasn't that done here?

Absolutely, who knew that Bob Davidson could screw us over as the second base umpire when he wasn't calling balks?

DT really needs to stop this baserunning madness, two more today puts the O's under 60% for the season and its really hurting the offense.

Bah a single and two walks and they let the fat man off the hook, huge missed chance there.

Mora is killing us today. That ball almost bounced in front of the plate! :cussing:

Rich Hill through 7. Got three outs in the 7th on 8 pitches. Has thrown 103 pitches. Next stop Baltimore.

Anything to give the Yankees an advantage. I think if you look at all the calls over the years, you'd find a majority of them in the Yankees' favor. I haven't seen too many go against them.

How do you stop what just happened???

Unfortunately this is probably 100% correct. It's sad, the state of things.

Pay off the umpires with MASN money. And I'm only half joking...

[Travis McGee]

BTW, Luke Scott must be hurt. Wigginton is on deck to pinch-hit for him.

I'm sure it's an injury but..........traded?
