DAMNIT CANO

[mike546]

Bernie missed the sign.

[Precious Roy]

whatever, Cano half-assed it. If he went full speed like you're supposed to on a hit and run he might have stole it

[Guest Fishyswa]

I thought he was safe from that one angle, but it's too close either way.

 

There's about 8 more innings left for redemption though.

BUBBA CROSBY IS MY HERO

[Guest Fishyswa]

That works.

[Precious Roy]

THE YANKEES ARE THE BEST SMALL BALL TEAM IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE!

[Guest Fishyswa]

Please don't become "one of those innings"....

[Precious Roy]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Bruiser Chong]

Sheffield's gonna whoop the shit out of Crosby after the game.

[Guest Brian]

Why? Sheffield threw the big flying knee.

I TAKE IT BACK

[mike546]

Sheff wasn't going to catch it. That was one of those balls that Sheff kind of just jumps at and throws his glove at the ball.

[mike546]

Why in the WORLD is Torre calling a hit and run on 3-1 when Santana isn't throwing ANY STRIKES?!?!?

 

edit: Get someone up in the bullpen please. Moose has nothing.

[Precious Roy]

Moose looked great in the 1st, it's like the whole Colon/Santana thing caused him to lose his edge, he started pitching defensively when he came back out

[Guest Fishyswa]

Between the two called strikes to Cano that were about 6" and 11" off the plate respectively and the last two pitches I'm beginning to hate the home plate ump...

[Slayer]

Given the Angels pitching situation, they need to rack up as many runs as possible

[mike546]

I cannot believe Torre left him in this long.

 

Ugh.

[Precious Roy]

great catch by Matsui

 

I don't doubt that we can come back from this, but it's so frustrating to leave so many guys on base in the first couple innings and then have something like this happen

[mike546]

It's because the Yankees swing for 600 ft HRs every AB, or Torre tries a hit and run TWICE with a pitcher who CAN'T THROW STRIKES.

[Precious Roy]

ALRIGHT UNIT, LETS DO THIS SHIT

[Precious Roy]

this game is making me very, very angry

[Precious Roy]

FUCK THAT!

 

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT AN OUT?!!

[Guest Brian]

That ranks up there with the slap heard 'round the world.

[mike546]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

 

The ball was BY Erstad before Cano was even CLOSE to the bag. BULLSHIT call.

[Guest Brian]

Rule 6.05:

 

(k) In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base; except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three foot line or inside (to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball;

What?

[devo]

Cano ran too far to the inside of the foul line and Joe West ruled that he interfered with Molina's throw. Therefore, he is out.

[mike546]

You know what, too bad.

 

That inning was just a disgrace in itself. Santana can't throw strikes, and Matsui and Cano go on to swing at six straight pitches.

[Guest Brian]

Basically he has to be within the runner's box (or whatever it's called), and that the umpire decided that him being outside of it impeded in the catcher's ability to throw/firstbasemen's ability to make a clean catch at first.
