That rule is dumb but it’s the rule. Suck it Cubs.
Just like a guy beating a throw to the bag but his foot barely comes off.

Completely agree with Darling

5 minutes to figure it out and another couple minutes for Maddon to complain about it.

If I was Maddon I would of told the umps they better get the commissioner on the phone because I am not leaving the field.

Dumb rule.

Does anyone really care about Buster Posey any more?

Yes it’s dumb but just like last game for the Cubs when they benefited from replay.

That rule sucks and is good at the same time. If its not in place, we get a old school football play.

Gayest ****ing rule, **** mlb for ruining the game.

first one is dumb, 2nd one is not, thats just the right ****ing call, there is no grey area in that call, if you arent touching the bag you are either out or safe. no wiggle room there.

Maddon should have just STFD and STFU. He's at home if not for the umps blowing the strikeout call against Baez.

Cubs gettin outplayed so far, but that safe call was true horseshit.

Neighborhood play? That was part of baseball for over 100 years. ****ing get rid of replay it’s ruining the game.

Maddon: say hey blue, that’s not cooool.

Are you talking about the one that reads "in the umpires judgement"?

Catcher leans in to a back swing to block a ball that he completely whiffs on and you want to call that a strike and dead ball even though the ball is 40 feet away? Was the catcher impaired in any way on that play? Nope.

Do you honestly want to believe that the rule in question wasn't specifically written to prevent a runner from taking a base in the event that the catcher was hit squarely in the head or the back preventing him from making any kind of play for the next couple minutes at least.

For **** sake you might as well start asking your catcher to take one for the team every now and then in critical situations like you do a batter for dropping an elbow on a pitch thats a ball by an inch.

Nice ass on that bullpen girl.
