I saw the play and IMHO, I think the home-plate umpire made the right call. Turner was OUTSIDE THE BASELINE (toward the infield side of first) the entire run down to first base and NEVER strayed from that position to get "inside" the baseline (the outlined box/running lane...thanks PowerSurge). Knucklehead Buck kept saying "Turner stepped in the middle of the bag". Yeah, ya moron!! If you look at the "middle of the bag", it is plainly OUTSIDE the baseline/running lane toward the infield where Turner was running. And as a result, he knocked Gurriel's glove out of his hand, thus initiating contact to warrant an interference call...  And to paraphrase Sgt. Barnes..."Hey Martinez. Take a break. You don't have to be a prick EVERY day of your life, ya know." "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

The fact of the matter is Turner was NOT in the running lane. He should’ve been called out and was. It’s in the rule book. The running box is there for a reason. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

PS, you have made it clear you are not unbiased as a die hard stro's fan. So we have that. Those in the know seem to agree by the letter of the rule it probably was a violation. But not by the spirit of the rule. He never attempted to affect the play. He ran as many would and have through out the year. It was a bad throw by the pitcher. I think the runner was by the throw. It as behind and outside the runner. As yourself this PS. If it would of been your team that it happened to would you be saying what you are saying in this thread. I can assure all reading this thread you would be of a completely different mind set without a doubt  .On another topic I like the combo of Buck and Smoltz. I especially like Smoltz and his unique insight as a former pitcher. He is great. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Without a doubt, one of the dumbest posts I’ve read on the internet. You actually agree it was against the rules, yet I’m biased. Lol ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

I am glad you read (or maybe not) my post before you posted yet again. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

^^^^^^ I know that wasn't meant for me. I'm as die-hard a Bruins fan as they come. I am waaaaaay more passionate about that game than what's happening tonight. With that said, if the referees make a call against Boston and it's the correct call, I accept it and hope the team can move past it and kill the penalty. So yes...I believe in my objective mind (and having been an ice hockey referee myself), I could have accepted the call had it been made against the Astros, WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE RULE BOOK, and moved on. Hey man...the ump, referee, official, or whoever is going to piss off SOMEONE every time the whistle blows or a call is made. It's just the thing we accept when we choose to take on the responsibility of picking up the whistle.  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Bud Light Releases Commercial Of Man Hit By Ball Who Didn’t Drop His Beer Bud Light released an awesome commercial Tuesday night during game six of the World Series between the Astros and Nationals. The beer company released a short video of Jeff Adams being hit by a ball during game five of the World Series and not dropping his beer. Bud Light captioned the video, “Pain is temporary, glory is forever.” Give it a watch below. https://twitter.com/i/status/1189361379872071682 "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Hilarious... I wonder if Anheuser-Busch has to pay Adams some kind of royalty?? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Or did they just give him an up-front sum & buy the rights to his likeness? The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Still cheering for the Nats! They knocked out my Cardinals and some of the fans were rude and disrespectful, but still, Go Nats! "Some things are apparent.

Now 4-2 Nats and I'm still not sure that's enough to fend off the Astros. I'm thinking this game is going to go down to the last pitch. Now Osuna gets the hook... ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Bottom of the 8th. Astros need to play small ball and focus on getting on base. Oh and I really do not like it blue sets up behind the catcher vice centerline behind the plate. Skews his perspective. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
