Mlb fpsr?!?!

Just like the FPSR IMO, the call the other night is not consistent.

In the Cubs / Dodgers series, Derek Lee slid into second base on the front end of a DP. Lee actually had his hand raised in the air which F4/F6 (can't remember) hit when throwing to first base.

Nothing was called.

The bottom line is this: It is a judgement call and just like the FPSR IMO, you will not see it called consistently from game to game.

You are supposed to slide with your hands in the air. It is what instructors teach. It is a fundamental that helps in several ways. It is rare that a runner's hand gets hit like Lee's.

Robin Yount is the Brewers bench coach. He knows baseball better than anyone; including the six major league umpires and the manager he told to talk to them.

I had to wait over an hour for a shuttle after the game. Perhaps Robin could've given us a ride to State Fair Park and/or made us something to eat/drink while we waited.
