IndyTwinsFan Verified Member Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Bush league call by the ump. Runner was tagged out well before his foot reached the base, with plenty of the base available to reach for. Church of Kreidler, hitterscount, Twins_Fan_in_NJ and 1 other 3 1
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted May 16 Posted May 16 He was tagged before any obstruction! And there was still a path to 3/4 of the base! Pen blows up again. . IndyTwinsFan, Twins_Fan_in_NJ and Church of Kreidler 2 1

Muppet Verified Member Posted May 16 Posted May 16 On reply he clearly had base to slide into. Plus if it is an unreviewable call, why did the ump change his mind after review with the other umps? I miss baseball from the 80s. This is just crap.

Baumer67 Verified Member Posted May 16 Posted May 16 It's amazing no matter who pitches in the 8th and 9th inning of a close game they are going to blow it. The Twins would be leading the division with any semblance of a bullpen hitterscount, IndyTwinsFan and Twins_Fan_in_NJ 3

My thoughts as well (and glad i checked first before being ninja'd) And nice job finding the silver lining!

Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Royce is lucky he didn’t get a broken ankle there to be honest. Not trying to pick on the already maligned guy, but that was poor positioning RpR, Church of Kreidler, Twins_Fan_in_NJ and 1 other 3 1
gil4 Verified Member Posted May 16 Posted May 16 4 minutes ago, Twindy said: Even if you call obstruction there, he was going back to third why doesn’t he just get third base? Why does he get to score? If a play is being made on the obstructed runner, he "shall be awarded at least one base beyond the base he had last legally touched before the obstruction."

It wasn't , the tag was applied well before touching the base., I'm not sure after replays there was obstruction, what's Lewis supposed to do, not get in position to apply the tag....
