Ichiro Suzuki- out of baseline ?- O's game

[aceholleran]

BTW, I thought this was an egregiously bad call. Look at the advantage Ichiro gained. But once again, he's a Yankee, they lost and NO ONE in the media had a quibble.

We rarely disagree, but we do here.

What advantage was gained? He was not more than 3' from his established base path. The call was correct. Or, should I say non-call was correct. And, the tag near the plate was correct as well. F2 did not tag the leg until after the runner touched HP.
