B][/QUOTE]You haven't quite caught on to the familiar ribbing that goes on here. It's not hostility (well, at least not most of the time). [/B][/QUOTE]
Come on..that was a rib/dig in itself. Your just not used to my flavor. No harm, no foul, play ball.

Maybe its a southern thing. Where I grew up, NC, thats all I ever heard it described as. Here in SC, where I live now, same thing.
Ive watched alot of pro baseball and hear the term used as frequent as there is a rundown. Anyway, not trying to appear to be smarter, just sharing the luv of the game.

Hey Pickle pokers!
To the topic at hand... perceived interference by BR going to 1st (where else can she go - right?).
I think a couple of you, quietly, gave the answer that I would give. Some of you cast doubts about calling interference in situation D where the ball hits the BR but the umpire thinks that maybe, perhaps, possibly the throw would not have reached F4 in flight. (in time?) Well I'm sorry folks but scenario D is the only one for which I would definitely call interference. Scenario D is the only one with actual evidence that the BR interfered. All the others are a guess... I wouldn't say judgement. I would definitely say guess. I'm not there to guess. Catcher, prove to me that the BR interfered or she is safe. Scenario A - poor throw - bad placement. Scenario B - again, poor throw. Scenario C - no throw, poor choice. Scenario D - flight has nothing to do with it. Scoop it out of the dirt. Ball hit BR. BR was not in a legal location. "Time. Dead ball. BR is out." Other runners return to last base touched at time of interference. Scenario E - poor throw. How do I know it wasn't going to be too late on the first pump. I'm thinking that you guys need to eat less pickles. Just funnin'

Cali here.. Pickle is well used term and understood by all to mean a rundown. Real suprised at some whove been around the block saying they never heard that term.. almost unbelievable.

Merriam – Webster
Pickel: a difficult situation : Plight The American Heritage ® Dictionary Pickle: A disagreeable or troublesome situation; a plight Baseball. A rundown Roget's II: The New Thesaurus A difficult, often embarrassing situation or condition: box1, corner, deep water, difficulty, dilemma, Dutch, fix, hole, hot spot, hot water, jam, plight1, predicament, quagmire, scrape, soup, trouble. Seems like most of these words aptly describe a runner hung up in no man’s land; being chased to and fro, every twist and turn she confronts evil intent of getting rid of her. WMB |
