^^^ nice job with the multiple angles, ESPN

4/26/2009 11:17:34 PM

Why did the home plate umpire point to the right, before he signaled 'safe' ?

just wondering if that's an official call/arm motion

4/27/2009 11:52:19 AM

He was calling the pitch a strike.

4/27/2009 11:54:22 AM

oh ok

i forgot all about the pitch

I would be scared stealing home if a lefty hitter was up and didn't see me and lined a shot right into my face

Also, if a righty batter was up, it would be awesome if he didn't see you and you slid thru his legs and bangcock'd on the way by

4/27/2009 12:02:52 PM

4/27/2009 12:03:49 PM

lefty guy would have to have blinders or absolutely no peripheral vision to not see you

or not like you and "not see you"

4/27/2009 12:05:03 PM

Either way I'm sure the batter knew the steal was on regardless. He was taking all the way. Got lucky getting that slowass curveball too.

4/27/2009 1:33:18 PM

the steal wasn't "on"

Ellsbury just took off

4/27/2009 1:43:38 PM

to be honest, i didnt know you were allowed to lead off in the grass like that, i thought they just allowed running on that grass when you are rounding third

4/27/2009 3:14:19 PM

There's usually a word the runner is yelling as he takes off toward home. This is more helpful for right handed hitters, lest the runner take a bat to the face.

4/27/2009 3:25:07 PM

"Hoochie Mama"

4/27/2009 3:25:44 PM

i almost took a line drive to the face in high school, i was on 3rd and we put on the squeeze and the batter completely missed the signal

That sort of happened to me. The guy who was up (he replaced our 3 hitter when he got hurt) sucked and couldn't get around on a fastball so they had a crazy shift on. So naturally I took like a 20 foot walking lead and naturally the guy got a change and turned on it. It hit me in the kneecap and bounced right over the shortstops head. Safe to say it hurt... a lot. But at least I was in foul territory and it wasn't an out...

4/27/2009 3:59:32 PM

hahaha but that was a foot outside

4/27/2009 4:11:13 PM

that was a damned ball if i've ever seen one...

on a side note to that ^^, I was playing in a rec league on the side (played legion ball for serious) and was warming up between innings and was bouncing the ball about 2 feet in front of home, where it would bounce up in the strike zone.

I did this for a few innings and finally, the guys told me to throw it during an at-bat.

I did. Ump called strike. The other team cried bloody murder.

I laughed.

5/3/2009 6:52:10 PM

TB's Carl Crawford stole 6 bases in one game off the Sox today

karma is a bitch

5/3/2009 7:35:14 PM

5/3/2009 8:26:26 PM

I think he prefers to be called a "goalie." With the C patch and everything...
