They’re going to need to clarify the criteria they’re using for those calls.
Clarify what?
And Yordan needs to snap out of this funk.
What constitutes obstruction and what doesn’t.
Obstruction is impeding a baserunner.
Astros go quickly in the 9th. Hader will try to close out the 5-2 lead
Now just need Hader to do what he was hired for.
Ok, fine, what constitutes blocking the bag and what doesn’t.
Was the fielder in possession of the ball or in the act of fielding the ball? Did he block the runner’s path forward? If the answer is no to the first two criteria and yes to the second, it’s obstruction. Why is this relevant?
Hader gives up a leadoff triple
Goddammit, Hader! Do your motherfucking job! Fuck!
Sac fly makes it 5-3
Because in the past there was never any problem with a fielder dropping a knee or putting a foot to block a runner touching the base, and now there is. So how much of the base has go be left open?
Infield single, as Abreu can’t pick a bounce from Altuve
Tying run at the plate…
Hit him in the glove.
Depends on when he blocks the base. I guess I don’t understand the discussion here. It’s not applicable to the caught stealing in this game.
That pick really ought to be made.
