“justin bieber is here.” yeah you see that guy next to him? he’s a little hit more relevant, and you might want to mention him too.

not having springer’s bat at the top of the lineup is killer.

They have to win this to have a chance at taking the series, you have to think, what with half a bichette as well


 

 

 

Ok. Now 3rd base windmill is just getting a little too crazy. You have Vlad on deck

What's the rule these days on colliding with the catcher? When you're out by that much, might as well go Pete Rose on Smith's ass.

Buster Posey would like a word with you.

Teo playing the long game by convincing everyone he sucks on defense. 

Pretty awesome that 2 of the 3 Dodgers who have made bad defensive plays have totally redeemed themselves. Betts' turn?

apparently I was wrong on that.  the problem is you aren't going to know in time unless you are so far up the line that you can actually decide not to slide and you know the catcher is going to block the plate.

my question is if the catcher moves his foot from the front corner towards the back of the plate a few inches can you just nail him for that? how far is allowed to be considered still "giving the runner a lane"

Once he has possession he can block the plate

Yeah, it was definitely closer than it initially looked, when he still seemed off camera when Smith had the ball. No way to switch tactics from a slide to a forearm shiver in a split second. Especially when the league has (correctly) made the latter a frowned upon play.

I know that but the booth ump guy said that if he does you can run over his ass pete rose/ray fosse style.  

my question is how far does the front foot need to move to be consdered "blocking the plate"?

to be clear, I think it will likely never happen because guys have now been conditioned to slide or give up.  NGL though I would love to see an old school bang bang home plate collision to decide a game...and I played catcher.

I’m going to go crazy if this turns in to a rehash of that Oregon/Utah Valley collision for the NCAA regionals in May

If the catcher has the ball, he can block the plate. The runner can only slide feet or head first into home plate as long as his body is on the ground in that situation. Going Pete Rose will be an automatic out.

Not according to whatever rules official they had on directly after.
