Just for complete records... 6.05 A batter is out when— (g) His fair ball touches him before touching a fielder. If the batter is in a legal position in the batter’s box, see Rule 6.03, and, in the umpire’s judgment, there was no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, a batted ball that strikes the batter or his bat shall be ruled a foul ball; 6.03 The batter’s legal position shall be with both feet within the batter’s box. APPROVED RULING: The lines defining the box are within the batter’s box. The ruling was correct and Maldonaldo was out to end the game. -

Does everyone realize that Maldonaldo was out and it was the correct call? 6.05 A batter is out when— (g) His fair ball touches him before touching a fielder. If the batter is in a legal position in the batter’s box, see Rule 6.03, and, in the umpire’s judgment, there was no intention to interfere with the course of the ball, a batted ball that strikes the batter or his bat shall be ruled a foul ball; 6.03 The batter’s legal position shall be with both feet within the batter’s box.

Although Davey explaining the play is very painful, it does look like the front foot was still on the ground when the ball hit him and it should have been a foul ball.

I think he was out, the back was obviously out, if the front foot was in the air then it is "out" of the box which was very close

Segura makes the play with the Yunibomber in his way

Aoki should go, a CS gives Braun a fresh count
-
BA, that was not hammered. I dont blame you for assuming it was since it came from the club of yuni

Gameday had it in the zone

3-1 middle in fastball should not be an infield fly Luc

Segura would have thrown himself out

Gary Darling is here for one specific purpose, to ...... us
-
Most fired up he has EVER been!
-
Im pretty sure CarGo has the unlimited green light, RRR doesn't put on the steal for him
-
It will have a good looking number though
-
Tulo, Yuni (SS is his "natural" position)
-
And bunting it to the first guy to start at 2 different positions in the same all-star game
-
If you consider that Braun did not score then the move "worked" unless you have a reason to not prefer to face Lucroy over Braun all other things being equal.

To be fair, up by 1 early, it isn't as bad a move. I believe that it increases the odds of 1 run but may lower the overall run expectancy for the inning, depending on the batters in question. There was a "Intentiionally Walk Bonds" study done by tangotiger many years ago: http://www.tangotiger.net/walkbonds.html It looks like his assumptions have been lost, however. Have to the imagine the difference between the two batters is larger with Bonds then Braun, though. "There are a few assumptions I've made to make life easier for myself, and that is I assume "average conditions" and "average approach" and "average everything else" Lucroy OPS+ = 97 = average hitter, however from the Padre perspective even though it is early you have to feel a Braun GS making it 8-2 with your offense is as good as a loss so you might be more inclined to take the higher risk/higher reward choice. Of course Bud Black did not consider any of this and just IBB'd Braun because that is what you do with first base open and an MVP up.

So the key factor is the difference in wOBA or OPS between the players, clearly going from a regular to a pitcher is enough to justify it, so what is the break even point? Because Braun > Lucroy actually represents a pretty big difference. Braun has a .995 OPS over the past 3 seasons, Lucroy is a career .737, 258 point difference, which is not that much different than say Gomez vs an average hitting pitcher
