McCarver wanna-be
As poor as McCarver is, FOX has at least one other
just as bad.Cardinals v. Astros,not sure which game
it was. Batter strokes a liner over the head of Pujols,
who jumped and reached for the ball.Mitt flies into the
air.I couldn't tell if it were intentional.
Anyway,McCarver-wannabe(I don't know who it was),proceeds
to repeatedly claim that there is a two-base penalty
for merely throwing the mitt at the batted ball!!No
mention of the necessity to actually make contact with
the ball,or that it would have to be judged as intentional,
or that OBR 7.05 states: Each runner,including the batter
may,without liability to be put out, advance_ c: three bases if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at AND touches a fair ball.
