Talk Radio Idiocy

[dash_riprock]

On the way home from my game today, I was listening to Mike Francesa - the "Sports Doctor" on WFAN, sports talk radio. A caller came up with what he considered a brilliant idea. In a sac fly situation, just have the outfielder juggle the ball all the way in, not catching the ball 'til he was close enough to easily throw out the tagging runner. The "Doctor" said that was a stupid idea and suggested the caller had too much time on his hands, because if the ball had not touched the ground after 2 or 3 seconds, the umpires would rule that the outfielder had control of the ball.

I think Tim McCarver gets most of his rules information from this show.
