    Or would be if, as the commenter points out, that wasn't A-Rod's normal position. Telling the guy to toss his helmet.

    The Pirates turned a 6-9-3 double play tonight.

    Points if you can figure it out without looking.

    Is that SS-LF-1B?

    (I think it's that or SS-RF-1B, I get the outfield numbers mixed up)

    Ball deflected off the 3rd basemen, caught by the left fielder, who then doubled up the runner at first? I think a deflected ball can be caught for an out as long as it doesn't touch the ground..right?

    EDIT: I knew I was going to get my numbers wrong. Screw baseball scoring.

    eh, the only real problem with the numbers is that it skips over the shortstop when you're doing the infield

    1-Pitcher, 2-Catcher, 3-1B, 4-2B, 5-3B, 6-SS, 7-LF, 8-CF, 9-RF

    that's a really weird double play, though, I assume that'll end up in some sort of highlight package

    It was the right fielder. It goes LF-7, CF-8, RF-9 for whatever reason.

    I guess they go numerically for the infield and the left to right in the outfield?

  • Options
    SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    I guess. Anyway, they brought the RF in to play in the infield, so that's what happened.

    But it doesn't matter because I think the Pirates are pretty much done.

    My guess is it was a Linebacker-ballboy-fan interference double play.

    Alex Rodriguez not only feels the MLB is singling him out ... he feels "persecuted" in the PED scandal -- and plans to SUE if the league doesn't COMPLETELY recant ... TMZ has learned.

    Sources directly connected to A-Rod tell us he's prepared to march into Federal court next month ... unless the 211-game suspension the MLB slapped him with last week isn't entirely lifted.

    The reason for A-Rod's bold demand -- A-Rod sources familiar with the investigation tell us Alex hasn't tested positive and never "knowingly" used PEDs since 2003 ... the last season he admitted using 'roids. Our sources say A-Rod has been drug tested 11 times between 2011 and the present ... and all of the results were negative.

    Our sources fume it's "absurd" Ryan Braun -- who reportedly tested positive in 2011 and then lied about it -- was only benched for the duration of this season. They say it proves MLB's investigation of A-Rod and the Biogenesis Clinic has been "abusive and borderline illegal."

    As for rumors A-Rod impeded baseball's PED investigation -- our sources say the league has "no proof" the Yankees slugger did any such thing, and further claim MLB is the one that has harassed and intimidated witnesses.

    According to our sources, Alex will sue for various things, including a violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the players' union and the league.

    So, from 211 games to nothing ... or else.

    Pretty big cojones for a guy accused of using steroids.

    Get the popcorn ready

    Without having seen all of the evidence against him I do agree with him to an extent. He should definitely get the standard 50 game ban but I'm not quite sure he deserves the 200 game ban. I do think they are making an example of him.

    Alfonso Soriano has 12 RBIs this week according to my matchup (13 counting Sunday too). <3

    edit: The rest of my batters could be injured or DFAd, and I'd still win the offense categories 4-2 just with Soriano. He was doing pretty good with the Cubs pre-ASG and post-ASG, but he's been on fire since that trade.

    Why? Their schedule isn't all that brutal at this point and the pitching is still solid. I'd love to see one of the peripheral bats wake up, but baring everyone walking up to the plate and taking a nap they are still going strong.

    finally, not only a replay proposal from MLB, but actually done the right way which should be done in every league

    with people in an office somewhere watching the replays on TV and then giving orders to the umps on the field

    i doubt that shit will fly with the unions

    but i can dream

    if the league really cared about players instead of headlines

    they'd have banned everyone who did steroids immediately and dared anyone to do so again

    instead we have to talk about A-Rod all the time

    Yeah no. MLB does not love the constant A-Rod bullshit that's ESPN. The league couldn't just "ban everyone who did steroids" because there's contracts, a CBA, and evidence from sources other than positive drug tests which complicate things. The league is not happy to have a recent MVP suspended nor one of it's statistical all time greats appealing. A-Rod headlines do not sell tickets or sell merchandise. This is absolutely not good press.
