flopped to the Sox, Brother was Mets all the way yep I went two teams my bad. Still though, this is fokkin cool. Without the budget, without so much the big dogs have they keep doing it. Came in +177 tonight....

Wish I had something on it or maybe I won't in an hour. Anyone on it? Pulling for anyone who had the nuts to do it :bowdown:

GO O's!
 
I am old.

When I think of the Orioles I think of the year of the four 20 game winners. I think of Palmer, McNally, MacGregor, Flanagan, Steve Stone, Brooks Robinson, Cuellar. And yes, Murray, Ripken, Boddicker, Mussina.

There was a long period of time when the Orioles were considered a cream-of-the-crop organization.

Same with the Royals. Royals were a franchise that teams modeled themselves after for a long time. I remember it well.

I'm old.




:mudcat:
 
reno cool
yeah, maybe they should get rid of it. I'm guessing it's fairly new anyway. If the defense wants to drop the ball on purpose and go for a double play let em try. Chances are more often than not it will lead to a comedy of errors anyway.

The rule is not new and there is a very good reason for it. Under proper infield fly rule conditions (not what we saw last night), it will not lead to a comedy of errors. It will lead to a whole bunch of double plays.

Now if you want pop-ups with multiple baserunners to be double plays, then okay, get rid of the rule.

Personally I think the rule is good. Umps just need to refrain from egregiously fucking it up.
 
No idea off the top of my head. Googled it.

Introduced in 1895 but only applied with 1 out. Modified to current parameters - i.e. 0 or 1 outs - in 1901.

I don't get this infield fly rule.

Sorry, skipped by your post here. The infield fly rule is to prevent infielders from intentionally dropping easy pop-ups in order to get double plays.

So if there are 0 or 1 outs, and runners on 1st and 2nd or bases loaded, the rule can be called for routine pop-ups where the infielder is camped under the pop-up. There is a judgement aspect to that which is where the trouble started last night.

But that is the idea. Because baserunners are basically pinned to their base on a fly ball - because they have to avoid being doubled off getting back after the ball is caught - an infielder can intentionally drop an easy pop up at the last second and turn a double play as runners have little chance of advancing ahead of the force play.



Hope that made sense.
 
Hugh game today, biggest in recent O's franchise history. They squeaked by with Chen the other day who despite his ERA in the 5's in September outpitched old man Pettite. Today Gonzalez goes up against Yanks stud Kuroda; Arod has been demoted in the lineup to try to shake things up. Good stuff.
