Yeah, that's an interesting point. I'm thinking maybe it's a new rule this year? The umps were talking with Renteria before they looked at the replay and he must have been OK with it.
Is that what they call the statues of people that they never finished? Every time I'm there I keep checking to see if the tops have been put on but I guess I'll have to keep waiting.
One time in spring training about 2004 or so Doug Mientkiewicz got on first base and Matthew LeCroy talked Gardenhire into putting him in for Mientkiewicz as a pinch runner. I guess Mientkiewicz said waiting for LeCroy to get from the dugout to first base was the longest two and a half minutes of his life.
Geez, with all the sparring that sometimes occurs here you'd think management would give us all the likes we want, to encourage comity and reward comedy.
