Ball is flying out of the yards today. Who you watching?

.....
Got a question a scoring call. Just happened.

Jacobs was on first base.

Callaspo hits a bloop single into center field.

Jacobs only goes half way to second because he isn't sure if the ball is going to be caught.

Tori Hunter catches it after it hits the ground and throws him out at second.

Why does Callaspo not get credit for a base hit?

It's a force out. Same as hitting a ball to short and the runner getting thrown out at 2B.

So it's a judgment call on whether Jacobs should have made it to 2nd base or not?

I think it's just the rule, no judgment call. It sucks for Callaspo - you generally see that kind of stuff in video games more than in real games. :lol:

Well Callaspo wasn't going to get robbed of a hit again. Tripled off the wall.

Had a thread about it, but Porcello was tough today for the Tigers and picked up his third win of the year.

I love to see that he reached base in all 4 at bats too.

Soriano is having a nice, but quiet start to the season. HR (10).

Mauer has killed the ball in his first 8 games of the season.

Griffey had a great game today as well. 2-5 HR (3), 2B
