This a hundred times. Pretty much pulling for Cubs/Royals at this point so at least one fanbase can finally have their day.FUCK THE CARDS FUCK THE GIANTS.
Thank you God.
it'd be pretty fucking funny if the cubs win the world series in a sweep.Cubs deserve a World Series win. After the Red Sox won in 2004, the Cubs were pretty much the last "cursed" team that hasn't won since the early 20th century.
Plus, they won in 2015 in Back to the Future II ;p
No idea that was the actual written rule. Watch every player that slides into 2nd during a double play, they are always trying to break up the turn. Definitely a rule that's never called. Half of the time players aren't even remotely in the base path. Kinda shocked that's the actual written rule.How was it not illegal? The obvious intent of the slide was to interfere with the fielder unless you deny that?
7.09(e) If, in the judgment of the umpire, a base runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead. The umpire shall call the runner out for interference and also call out the batter-runner because of the action of his teammate. In no event may bases be run or runs scored because of such action by a runner.
Choo had just taken a ball and went into his "pre batting stance" ritual. Catcher hit his bat when throwing back to pitcher. Runner at 3rd came in. Originally called off but the Umps convened and said it wasn't interference, so the score counts.Well that just happened
I'm... well aware? I've been watching the game lol. Unless you're just doing a play by play for people who aren't watching, in which case good description of what happened.Choo had just taken a ball and went into his "pre batting stance" ritual.
