Rockies/D-Backs...Willful and Deliberate Interference?
 
Thoughts?

BktBallRef Thu Oct 11, 2007 10:02pm

An excellent call.

Idiot fans.

JRutledge Thu Oct 11, 2007 10:03pm

Go call.

Peace

tjones1 Thu Oct 11, 2007 10:05pm

Easy cheesy. Nice call.

Stupid fans...delaying the game...

Good call. And one of the announcers just said, correctly, that "there was a time when you could do that rolling block—but not any more."

It's too obvious to be a "good" call. Correct, but nothing special.

You can't expect your basic fan, especially the dopey Arizona sheep who can't even sell out a playoff game until minutes before the game, to know this rule. Thus their stupidity spilled forth on the field. Next time, close the dome, and turn on the A/C.

Speaking of fans, I've heard through the grapevine that many of the people who went to Phoenix for the annual NABA/MSBL tournament lately have been having their hotel reservations cancelled due to the playoff and room availability. Some scrabbling has been in the works and when they do find accomodations, they cost above the rate they were going for originally. Reservations for the airlines and rental cars are also in a mess. Unfortunately, they are ones buying the remaining available tickets.

I have very little informantion, I just getting complains from people who went.
I have no idea how much the chaos is really truthful.

Even the Barrett-Jackson auction is coming and creating havoc.

Those NAMBLA guys should have their reservations canceled. Freaks.

No, Emily, it's "NABA," not "NAMBLA"...it's just an adult baseball league.

Is MLB turning into FED?

This year alone we have had 3 Intentional Interference calls resulting in a DP.

Personally I cannot remember any during the past decade or so.

I realize baseball is not football but why the sudden adherence to the rule. It appears MLB is leaning in the direction of FED/NCAA.

A rolling cross body block at either F4/F6 used to be the accepted practice. Now at least in the judgement of one umpire it is Intentional Interference.

Peraps we will get that re-write of OBR in the near future.

Bottom Line: Good call but as mentioned something that hasn't been called in MLB until this year.

Here we go again with idiot announcers:

Implications to date:

Di/Rock - The Rockies are still in the playoff because of McCleeland, our home plate umpire tonight.

Ron Darling - Concerning the Int. call at second. "I just wish the umpires would let the players decide the game."

That's because when Ron Darling played, the play at second was what the runner was supposed to do and no interference was called.

This year alone we have had 3 Intentional Interfernce calls and as I mentioned above I cannot remember the last time in MLB Intentional Interference was called.

We will wait and see if this is addressed after this year.

I agree, but you would think that after one or two calls if MLB did not want it enforced they would have past it down to the officials.

Then again, maybe that is only my warped logic of how things should be done. Sorry!

UmpJM Fri Oct 12, 2007 09:09am

The only thing wrong with that call is that Clint Hurdle had to come out afterwards & remind them to return the runner (R2 at start of the play) from 3B to 2B.
