2018-10-02 (& 03): Wild Card Playoff Games

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Contreras is either trying to set up his own Kirk Gibson moment or he is legitimately hurt here.

 

Edit: Looks like cramping.

 

Contreras has been insufferable tonight just when he draws a walk. Can't imagine what he'll look like if he walks it off.

 

Looked fine running to 1st there.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Arenado needs to sell that, not embrace him and pat him on the back. If he gets angry they call interference.

[topper09er]

I have never seen a player tag himself out so impressively as what just happened there with Baez. MVP MVP MVP.

 

TAG MASTER, offense or defense

[Bombers]

Arenado should have tried throwing and they would have been forced to call interference

[Ennder]

I think what Baez did was probably inappropriate but I don't think it is actually interference if you look at it reasonably. I don't think what he did stopped the double play at all.

[MoreTrife]

If Victor bleep word Caratini walks this off...

[Baldkin]

If interference is committed by a runner with the obvious intent of preventing a double play, the batter-runner will be called out in addition to the runner who committed the interference.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

If Arenado even makes an attempt to throw to 1st, that's a DP. They woulda got Baez for interference.

[topper09er]

Thats at least roughing the passer, 15 yards penalty, next pitcher can throw from 15 ft 6 inches

[Bombers]

I just want more innings. Lots of em.

Interference being actually stopping a DP or intending to stop an attempt?

Contreras is either trying to set up his own Kirk Gibson moment or he is legitimately hurt here.

That would be pretty bad-ass if someone pretended to be hurt so they could become legend.

 

 

 

He paid the price for such power, though, as his brains leaked out of his ankle.

[rondoman]

Just add it to the list of idiot Rockies plays.

[Baldkin]

It doesn't matter if he stopped it. He did that in order to prevent it. That's interference. Baez has no idea if the hitter fell down running to first.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This guy's zone is all over the place.

[mtrebs]

Wow, going to 12!

[IntentionalHBP]

What a game. I don’t know if o should go to bed or not.

[dlk9s]

To play devil's advocate, it is entirely possible that Baez hugged there to help prevent a hard collision. Can't be sure either way, but I don't think it's egregious that it wasn't called interference.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Well, at least we are getting one hell of a game. I know they get a day off tomorrow, but both these team may be a little fried Thursday.

[MrTPlush]

Something about watching two teams just exhaust each other while we sit here sipping our tea is just great.

[adambr2]

Cubs are going to have to empty out their entire rotation in this one to keep this game tied. No pinch hitters left either.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

To play devil's advocate, it is entirely possible that Baez hugged there to help prevent a hard collision. Can't be sure either way, but I don't think it's egregious that it wasn't called interference.

 

I don't either, but Arenado has to sell it.

Baez was stopped and Arenado was reaching with the gove to tag him. No chance of a hard collision there.

[young guns]

Im less mad at the umps because arenado just accepted it. Hes gotta at least pretend like hes trying to make a throw.

[Boomer5]

NA took a few steps to tag him out, it’s pretty clear that was the only play he wanted to make for whatever reason. Had he attempted a throw to first at all instead of that stupid hug the umpires might have had to think about it before ruling for the Cubs.
