Cws

I see Harold Reynolds is wasting no time misinterpreting rules again in the College World Series. When Harold learns a rule, it will be his first.

One thing the seem to be constantly and consistently misunderstanding in this year's CWS is when they appeal a runner not tagging up and the players just throw the ball to the base the announcers say something like, "In College, they don't have to throw it to the pitcher first like they do in the pros."

I've heard this at least 3 or 4 times in the tournament.

Harold said that "the runner can't just plow over the catcher, unless he has the ball."

I said, "huh?"

Reynolds also said the umpires called a balk when the umps were calling for the tarp to be put on the field for the rain delay. Remember, no one was on base. Speaking into a microphone multiplies the definition of "assume" by about ten.

Yeah, Harold makes some mistakes now and then.

But I like him. At least he remembers how to play baseball.

If you start disliking any commentator, just watch a game being called by Joe Morgan, and you will appreciate everybody else.

If you ever need a side-splitting afternoon, go through the archives here.

Here in Mets fan-dom, we are so spoiled with Howie Rose, Gary Cohen, and we were with the late Bob Murphy. Talk about 3 guys who know the rules, understand what's going on, and often cite specific examples/rules when they are applicable.

I'll never forget Harold in the pre-cellphone days in uniform at old Municipal Stadium in Cleveland talking on a payphone in the concourse!
