Blue Jays Discussion: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!!!! (avatars: posts 1-4)

There's a rule for that, and Choo didn't break it because he didn't obstruct Martin intentionally.

Holy **** enough. It was a screwy instance, but the Jays won. Move on already.

That being said, the rule will probably be addressed because any sport usually does when something bizarre like that happens, not because of some insane conspiracy theory. (Case in point; the tuck rule, foot in the crease, the Burt Emmanuel rule, etc)

Why is it Price can't pitch game one?

He pitched on Sunday. That gives him Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as rest days.

Is that not normal rest for starting pitchers?

1 reason is that there's a whole team of pitchers to think about, not just 1.

Price in game 2 means he comes back in a game 5 or 6. Stroman in game 3 lets him go in 6 or 7.

Makes sense for Estrada to game in 1 and 5....especially where he's only pitched once is the last couple weeks.

Only issue was the ump calling the play dead and not knowing the rule as well.

im confused - are people upset about the rule being enforced? the ruling was right on in the end.

i thought the outrage was with the ump calling it a dead ball and everyone stopped playing then saying "lol jk, it's a run"

forgive me but I haven't mentioned anything about what happened in the top of the 7th I won't drag this on because obviously we won and we need to move on but my only issue is that the umpire called the play dead. So whether the ball was live or not doesn't mean anything IMO...the ump called the play dead before Odor touched the plate so what I don't get is how the play was still allowed to stand. Yes I get the rule and I would accept everything as it were....only if the ump didn't yell "nononono" and waved the play dead. Once he did that everything after should've been thrown out.

Bad News everyone. Harold Reynolds will be doing the entire Jays/Royals series. We might as well start some Harold Reynolds drinking games.

That's my only real problem with it too. The Jays didn't even attempt to make a play on it because the ump was clearly telling everyone that the play was dead.

Even though calling it off was wrong, it happened, and the play was dead.

You trying to get thousands of people killed by alcohol poisoning?

The runner was on his way home when it was called dead, so they probably made the decision on what would have happened had the ump not called it that way. There was absolutely no way the Jays would have made the out.

That call made Joey Bats angry. Might've been a good thing

The rule book confirmed the play was valid, as strange as it appeared. However I was with you on the Ump stepping on the field waving the play dead as the runner scores running past him.

They never debated that point yesterday, but in hockey when a ref blows a play dead and a team scores thereafter it doesn't count, regardless if the ref is right or wrong.
