2019-09-28: Brewers (González) at Rockies (González) [Brewers lose, 3-2 in 10 innings -- Hader gives up tying HR with 2 outs in 9th; Albers yields heartbreaking walk-off HR in the 10th]

[phnxcrew]

Replay is horse crap... what the hell is the point

[Ennder]

I just don't understand this rule at all, they never call it so why have the rule. That is exactly the play they are trying to stop here and when the catcher messes it up they never call it.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Most labored, slow ejection motion I've ever seen.

[HarveysWBs]

CC tossed after the most effete hook I’ve ever seen from an ump. If you’re going to do it, then mean it, blue. Give the people a show.

[TURBO]

It sucks, but seriously, what can the catcher do there. Step away from the plate and reach for the tag?

[phnxcrew]

No way this gets overturned...What can the catcher do differently?

 

Per the rules, he is not allowed to do what he did. Yes, the rules are wrong-but they are the rules and that should've been a run.

[PinaMadness]

Do away with replay in all of sports, but especially baseball.

[owbc]

I just hope Cain isn't hurt

[jjfanec]

Hey CC giving some fans what they want. He argued a call and got tossed.

[Ennder]

No way this gets overturned...What can the catcher do differently?

 

Not go into the basepath to catch the ball. If the ball pushes you into blocking the plate it is your fault, not the runners. There is no reason to have this rule in place if that isn't called obstruction, it makes no sense.

[John Jahahaha]

what an atrocious call

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

It's a stupid rule, but it's still a rule. That looked like a pretty textbook case of blocking the plate to me.

[Pugger]

I wonder if Cain can go back out to center field...

[MrTPlush]

He stepped into the lane before getting the ball. Pretty simple.

 

The throw didn’t cause him into the lane. He casually stepped there to block him before getting the ball. That is the rule.

[Eye Black]

This game has my blood boiling. Please salvage this one.

[mtrebs]

It sucks, but seriously, what can the catcher do there. Step away from the plate and reach for the tag?

 

I don’t like the rule, but he could have stepped forward or backward one step and there would have been a lane.

[young guns]

And that's kinda why the rule is stupid. Doesn't really do anything.

[wildcat83]

It sucks, but seriously, what can the catcher do there. Step away from the plate and reach for the tag?

 

Yea, I don’t think he completely blocked the plate until that last step right as he caught the ball.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

You have to ride your horse here but I am not crazy about Hader out there. We can't have a long ball here. Just can't.

[PinaMadness]

We need dominant Hader here. No long ball tonight.

[HarveysWBs]

And no Cain. With a fly ball reliever up. I need a crash helmet for this ride.

[Pugger]

I don"t blame CC for being pissed.

[topper09er]

Ok, you cannot commit obstruction if you have the ball, and catcher had the ball before Cain got there, even if only by a millisecond, so what is the complaint there?

[82brewcrew82]

You have to ride your horse here but I am not crazy about Hader out there. We can't have a long ball here. Just can't.

Is there someone you trust more to not give one up?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Three! THree runs that the Brewers didn't score from baserunning gaffes and rules misinterpretations!! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAH! I Love to Count!
