Mets/Dodgers
That was the coolest DP I've ever seen! I sitting here laughing and cheering my a$$ off. I detest the Dodgers, naturally.

haha, i saw that play to. That was kinda bad offensive by the dodgers.. Good to see John Hirshbeck got the calls right, lol :p
|
I am a big Hirschbeck watcher because of his style, strike zone, demoner, and his approach towards the players and managers.
With regards to the plays at the plate....great positioning, and great timing on both calls. Plus......he has established a great strike zone. He is calling strikes and he is keeping the game moving. |

Now, I just saw another mechanic which has been generally shot down by certain members of this forum:
On a run that the Mets scored, the runner slid at home and touched the plate with his hand. The throw was a bit late, and up the 3rd base line a little, so there was no tag attempt on the runner. John Hirschbeck "plated" the run by pointing at the plate, indicating that the runner's hand had touched the plate. Is this the accepted standard mechanic for this play? I usually do the same thing, but after reading many responses concerning the plating of runs, I was wondering if I should stop this practice. I never do it when the runner simply touches the plate standing up, only when he slides and touches the plate with an outstretched hand. |

hmm,
Last time I saw that play Carlton Fisk was the catcher and Dale Berra one of the runners . . .
I had seen the replay 14 times tonight . . . I see nothing the PU did that was remotely wrong . . . Actually he was perfect. Regards, (Edited to name the correct Yogison!) |

It was Bobby Meacham and Dale Berra, Yankees at the time. Watch the right replay and you'll see the 3B coach just standing there like a lump, signling nothing at all to JD. NO go sign, NO stop sign - nada. Plenty of time to stop JD. No one's talking about that. |

All that play was missing was Tom Berenger at the plate :)
