April 17, 200719 yr True, true all kinds of what ifs, BUT at least they were able to get 3 runs and get back in the game. If the score does end at 4-3, would be fun to hear Narron postgame. Appears Coffey wants to give those 3 runs right back.
April 17, 200719 yr Author REDS KILLER!!!!!!!!!! You knew that was going to happen as soon as he stepped to the plate...
April 17, 200719 yr You finally get back in the game and that happens. I'm sure everyone here remembers the walk off grand slam by Dunn last year. Still 3 innings left, you never know what can happen. It would help if the bullpen stopped letting the other team score.
April 17, 200719 yr I knew the over was a safe bet. Did you use the "trends by a starter" stat? :lol:
April 17, 200719 yr Ok can someone please tell me the score, I know Coffey apparently gave up some runs, but how many???
April 17, 200719 yr Ok can someone please tell me the score, I know Coffey apparently gave up some runs, but how many??? Five runs. Hit two batters and couldn't put the guy away with 2 strikes.
April 17, 200719 yr Five runs. Hit two batters and couldn't put the guy away with 2 strikes. With zero outs still. At lost more to it than just not putting the man away with 2 outs.
April 17, 200719 yr With zero outs still. At lost more to it than just not putting the man away with 2 outs. Yep, I was just trying to keep my post VERY brief, I know cursing isn't allowed on these boards. lol
April 17, 200719 yr From the Official Baseball Rules: An INFIELD FLY is a fair fly ball (not including a line drive nor an attempted bunt) which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, when first and second, or first, second and third bases are occupied, before two are out. The pitcher, catcher and any outfielder who stations himself in the infield on the play shall be considered infielders for the purpose of this rule. When it seems apparent that a batted ball will be an Infield Fly, the umpire shall immediately declare “Infield Fly” for the benefit of the runners. If the ball is near the baselines, the umpire shall declare “Infield Fly, if Fair.” The ball is alive and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught, or retouch and advance after the ball is touched, the same as on any fly ball. If the hit becomes a foul ball, it is treated the same as any foul. If a declared Infield Fly is allowed to fall untouched to the ground, and bounces foul before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball. If a declared Infield Fly falls untouched to the ground outside the baseline, and bounces fair before passing first or third base, it is an Infield Fly. Rule 2.00 (Infield Fly) Comment: On the infield fly rule the umpire is to rule whether the ball could ordinarily have been handled by an infielder—not by some arbitrary limitation such as the grass, or the base lines. The umpire must rule also that a ball is an infield fly, even if handled by an outfielder, if, in the umpire’s judgment, the ball could have been as easily handled by an infielder. The infield fly is in no sense to be considered an appeal play. The umpire’s judgment must govern, and the decision should be made immediately. When an infield fly rule is called, runners may advance at their own risk. If on an infield fly rule, the infielder intentionally drops a fair ball, the ball remains in play despite the provisions of Rule 6.05 (L). The infield fly rule takes precedence. If it was deemed an IFF then in the umpire's view the fielder could have caught it with ordinary effort. If that's the case, why was there not an error charged to the fielder?
