FWIW, current MLB pitcher Antonio Alfonseca has 12 fingers and 12 toes. :)

Joe Buck just said that Scott Rollen was awarded home on Brandon Inge's
" interference". Tim McCarver just seconded the statement. :rolleyes: |

This guy amazes me. *And good job by the umps for indeed being on top of it. Easy call, but nonetheless, good job. |
OH MY GOD THE GREAT McCARVER JUST CORRECTED HIMSELF!!
He even read the rule. Wonder who called him out on that one? |
Quote:
happy that he went to the trouble of publicly correcting himself. |

player in his attempt to field a ball or make a play. Obstruction is a defensive player hampering an offensive player's attempt to advance (or return) to a base. This is a "boiled down" explanation. |
Quote:
Now, why was this considered obstruction when Inge was nowhere the base or basepath? Is it his responsibility to stay away from anywhere the runner wants to be? |
Most people don't know the difference between interference and obstruction and have never really heard the term obstruction used as it relates to collisions in baseball. Then, use the term delayed dead ball (is that the case in OBR??; don't know) and that will really throw them off.

2 of his biggest classics from this year:
1. When he said "Eckstein has 10 fingers and toes" 2. Two starts ago for Reyes, he said "a fastball was Reyes fastest pitch" |
Quote:
Either way, Kudos to Randy Marsh and Mike Winters... they both had the call! |
Game 2, top of the first: Inge "overdives" the ball. "Is that even a word? I guess it is now."
