I loving hate Drew Storen. I've watched him gently caress up games across multiple managers. Storen and Espinosa can eat a loving dick.

He was out. The foot was still up by the time the glove hit his thigh. You could see it from the camera behind home plate, first base side.

The rule is actually that the runner has to BEAT the tag. Not tie it.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

I know that a lot of hay has been made over the blocking the plate rule, but has it really been that bad? Maybe a couple of questionable calls over the season, but otherwise it really seems fine. Seems like catchers are able to make tags just fine without standing right in the way like a goober.

It has been mostly fine except for when some halfwit ump takes the rule way too literal and calls the runner safe even though the ball beat him by 15 feet.

Yeah, sometimes Bochy goes stupid and comes out unharmed, but Romo has been crummy against power from the left side.

I still would have taken Affeldt, or even Petit since we have a day off and then Bum at home.
