Austin Jackson is awful. Just horrible.

[quote="miguelcabrera":15dhry4a]why not just go to 1st there

Blame your screen name

Or blame the umpire when the out was made at 2nd.

But yes, in classic Miguel style he overplayed a ball hit to his right. He does it ALL the time. But the runner was out at 2nd, it's as simple as that.

It looked like the runner beat the tag in the replay

Well, everyone here along with the announcers thought it was an out.

Take that, and the obvious swing from Nelson Cruz-and you have a whole different ball game right now. This team doesn't need more than 3 outs, let alone 5 outs. It pisses you off to watch the umpires blow that kind of crap. Not saying we would win with that stuff called right, but I believe it would be 4-2 if those 2 calls were made correctly.

Well...blame stupid baseball purists and the umpire's union for not wanting instant replay.

I don't know why so many idiots are stuck in the 1920's when it comes to baseball. Progress is always a good thing. In sports and everywhere else in society[/quote:15dhry4a]

In my humble opinion, instant replay is not necessary for that Nelson Cruz check swing. Everything about that was a strike. He offered with his body, and went well past half way with the bat. The play and 2nd was closer, but even still the umpiring should not be making mistakes right now.

Easy to understand and like though as a Rangers fan. Not hard to like when it benefits you.

Austin Jackson is awful. Just horrible.

We have one of the worst OF's in baseball, all 3 combined. I would moreso blame Raburn, that is the CFs ball and he called for it. Raburn sucks to begin with, not sure what he was doing.

Classic horrible defense from the Tigers though. I have seen it most of the year.

Anyone else watching the Little League World Series?

The Tampa Bay Rays probably are. It's not like they have anything more important to do this evening

 

[bouwob]

the runner was out at second. cruz's swing could have gone either way.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Little known fact...

Hamilton used to bounce off fences like that when he was a kid, so when the opportunity arose, he just said "Eh, no big deal."

 

[noaskiecards]

Looking good for Texas

 

[P_Manning 18]

Instant replay should be added for the playoffs only. A teams season is on the line.... why not get every questionable call correct.

 

[hail2thevictors]

the runner was out at second. cruz's swing could have gone either way.

If you think the Cruz swing could have gone either way, you are drinking some spiked blue and red kool-aid, wow. That was a swing for sure.

Looking good for Texas

And for the Yankees. Keep trolling, bro. I love guys like you and vwnut who are now Rangers fans because your pathetic excuse for an overpaid roster can't beat the Tigers. It makes my night, which I appreciate-because this has been one of the worst sports days I can remember.

 

[hail2thevictors]

Delmon Young swings at the same exact pitch 3 times in a row, missing each time. Unreal. ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

Yep. You're clearly delusional

dont get upset, I am just stating my opinion

 

[bouwob]

also 1 was a bad call, and in my opinion the other was questionable. Both were a fraction of a second so human error should be forgiven. If you disagree, patition for new replay rules.

 

[bouwob]

11-4

 

[bouwob]

12-4

 

[JoshHamilton]

11-4

10-4!!!!!

 

[RITM]

Pitcher has to know to back up home by this point. My 5 & 6 year old coach pitch kids know that much.

 

[sneekc]

tigers implode..... might as well call it all off now. Texas has serious momentum in this game, especially after the 3rd inning.
