SS barely in the same zip code as 2B in Tigers-Red Sox game.

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I am getting senile in my old age because I cannot remember what inning in which it happened but the Red Sox completed a 4-6-3 DP (Actually the only out was the one at 2B; see what I mean about old age, .) last night where F6 was no where near 2B when taking the throw from F4 and then throw the ball to F3 for the force of the B/R at 1B and the BU at 2B called the Runner going from 1B to 2B out even though F6 never (with apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirley, BKB officials from the BKB Forum will understand my reference) came close to touching 2B.

As MTD, Jr., says MLB players are supposed to be the best players in the world, therefore, why should they be held to a lower standard for completing a DP than H.S. players? What say you? Hopefully someone can find a video of the play. Thanks.

Not the same play but an even more graphic 'neighborhood' play from the same series

about the 1:18 point is the best shot of the neighborhood play (that's an awfully big neighborhood, more like a suburb)

Scrounge:

Thanks for the video. This the play I was I posting about. But I have to edit my original post. There was no DP on the play; just the out at 2B.

He has the ball in this clip.

Not in the same zip code, huh? We can argue what U2 should've called here, but exaggeration based on what a *fan* sees watching real-time shouldn't be the basis for that.

Rich:

I don't have a dog in the fight in this game (I am a Yankees, Indians, and Pirates fan.) My beautiful, intelligent, and wonderful wife is the Tigers fan. But I was not watching the game as a fan but as one who is an umpire and watching the game from that standpoint. If one watches the video posted by Scrounge and watch it from the 1:15 mark you will see that there was no out at 2B.

This is a screenshot FROM THAT VIDEO!

See how close the SS is? Is he "not in the same zip code?"
