So how is the Chi bullpen?

Rectangular, long way from home plate.

[FlauerPauer]

Got lucky there.

[Aggies7]

I can’t believe he made that play

[FlauerPauer]

Hope Miggy didn't hurt his hand there.

[operation mindcrime]

Unbelievable!

[Mill1634]

No sliding lane??

[Aggies7]

No sliding lane

[Riverbrian]

Wouldn't that be the definition of Blocking the plate? 

[S.]

Someone please explain why we aren't challenging that? He blocked the plate before the ball was there

[USAFChief]

I would have challenged that. 

[DiscGolfer]

tough break there, that was a good block by McCann

[Riverbrian]

Should of just plowed the catcher over!

[MNT1996]

That's 2 challenges lately that should've been challenged

[Riverbrian]

 

I would have challenged that. 

 

There is no purpose in the rule if you don't. 

[FlauerPauer]

Time to hire a new replay viewer

[notoriousgod71]

Dick really trying to convince himself sano should have been called safe.

[Aggies7]

How old is the person who plays the ridiculous music between pitches? Has to be younger than 25

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Dang!

Tony Diaz?

[FlauerPauer]

That was pretty rough not getting at least one run.

[Aggies7]

You don’t like ridiculous techno gibberish between crucial pitches? Get off my lawn!

[IndyTwinsFan]

Manager should have challenged regardless. it's the bottom of the 6th. Huge swing there. If anything, just to support your player who was clearly mad. Has to at least go argue to the ump.

[Riverbrian]

MLB Rule 7.13 (2)

 

Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score.  If, in the judgment of the Umpire, the catcher without possession of the ball blocks the pathway of the runner, the Umpire shall call or signal the runner safe.

 

Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the Umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable.

[FlauerPauer]

Really happy that Sano didn't break a finger on that play at home. 

[operation mindcrime]

Where's Garver?

[MVP Nick Punto]

I'm not watching the game, so I just have to rely on you folks (gulp) to get a feel for the action. Was Sano's out at home close or clearly blocking?
