2012 MLB postseason running thread

Fuck the Cardinals.

 

I still think the Cardinals will win it all. The worse the team they put into the postseason, the better the results.

 

Infinity

 

Horrible managing by Fredi Gonzalez to not pinch-hit for Medlen down a run with two outs and a 25-man bullpen sitting there.

 

Pat Neshek and his wife join the A's in Detroit. Sounds like he might not be on the postseason roster, but “The first thing she said is we need to get out of here and watch baseball, and that was fine with me. I wanted to be with her and I wanted to by her to get through this.”

This is painful to watch.

 

Fewest errors in the regular season, 3 already tonight.

 

Braves-Orioles -- Both teams were based in Milwaukee at one time. Orioles started in Milwaukee in 1901 before becoming the St. Louis Browns.

 

Wow. Infield fly rule on a biffed medium deep flyball. That's some bullshit, as evidenced by the fact both runner advanced safely when it dropped.

 

Yep. And now we have a "People throwing shit on the field" delay.

 

Just got home, and turned on the game.

Terrible call.

Too deep for infield fly call. The infield fly rule is to protect the offense from being doubled up by an infielder dropping the ball on purpose. That could not have happened on that ball.

And, I have no idea why an outfield ump is making the call.
