So for years I've been ranting about how stupid MLB.tv was for not putting commercials on during the breaks. At the very least for the MLB team shop or something. Seemed like a huge wasted opportunity to me

Well now they have commercials on and I'm like "fuck, commercials are so annoying."

Seemed pretty dumb to me that the Jays, who play in a dome, started the season in Tampa, who play at the Trop.

So if in a game, team-A hit 2 HR's and team-B only got one hit all game, which was a bloop single, which team do you think would win that game?

Thank God Correa can run two feet inside the base path, and that Betances literally gets a fucking horrible strike zone......

Thank God he knows that the fastest way from the right handed batter box to 1b is a straight line.

Lol. Correa knew exactly what he was doing. Smart play on his part, but its on the ref by rule to call that out. You technically must hold the line towards the end of the run, being two feet inside is a no brainer. Not to mention lead ump told Girardi that if Betances "hit" Correa, they would have called Carlos out.

Still, an awful fucking attempt by Betances.

Running Lane

The batter is out if, in running to first base, the batter-runner is hit by a throw while running outside of the 3 foot running lane, or interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base. He could be called out even if he is not hit by the throw, if the umpire judges that by being outside the lane he interfered with the fielder's attempt to field the throw. There must be a throw before interference can be called and the throw must be a quality throw. Rule 6.05(k).
A runner is not free from interference while in the lane, nor automatically guilty when out of the lane. If he is out of the lane he is in serious jeopardy of being called for interference, but it is not automatic, unless he is hit by the throw, or commits an intentional act of interference. The rule states that he is out when out of the lane AND causes interference with the fielder taking the throw. If he is out of the lane and is hit by the throw, that is always interference. If he is in the lane he could still cause interference, but it would have to be something obviously intentional (like grabbing the fielder's arm or glove, or deliberately touching a thrown ball). If the catcher does not make a throw because the runner is outside the lane, this is not interference. Interference with a thrown ball must be intentional. Such as, deliberately making contact with it. Or in this case if the runner is hit by the throw while outside the lane. The lines marking the lane are part of that "lane," but the runner must have both feet within the lane or on the lines marking the lane, to be judged as "in" the lane. Rule 7.09(k) casebook, N.A.P.B.L 4.14.
If the runner is hit by the throw or a collision occurs on his last step before touching the base; generally interference is not called. The runner has to step into fair territory to touch the base that is in fair territory.

He was just running straight to the bag. If he veered into Betances, then I would agree with you that he he had intent.... But he didn't veer and ran as straight as he could down the line out of the right handed batters box. Stop looking for an excuse for a the loss today. It was a quirk play.

Excuse? Sure. Calling an excuse doesn't change the fact that it majorly impacted the game. It was clearly a missed call, by "rule". Also if you think Correa didn't knowingly hug the inside to help make that play more difficult, you're cutting the kid short. Also the "running in a straight line" shit is false.

He practically runs towards Betances at one point. Shit even Houston's radio guys immediately thought it was a questionable play.Carlos Correa leads Astros to win over Yankees | MLB.com

He played within the confines of the rules that I quoted.

Let me bold and underline some keywords here for you to wrap your mind around.

Betances made a poor throw. Get over it and prepare yourself to be 0-2 yankee scum.
