GDT : Cards @ Giants (9/22) ~ 8:45pm CDT

[craviduce]

RH hitters are pulling it tonite. Nado been busy!

1 reason I want Nado back next season...the pitchers need him at 3B. Let JJ play 2B.

Fermin the hit machine lol

[Cusecards]

Exactly WTF was Saggese doing/thinking????
I know.....we seem to ask that question multiple times every game!

[craviduce]

there's a Vermin on the bases...call the exterminator, it's all over 3B

Scott II getting better with Bunting. Is that 3 in the last few days?

[Whatashame]

How does Walker not sell that as going off the top of his foot???

My sentiments exactly.

Walker did the right thing. If he doesn’t hear anything he has to run. Standing there and getting thrown out would have looked worse. Only if Saggese would have just ran and not umpired the play.

How do 4 umpires, the baserunner and batter all miss that

Walker immediately knows and runs to first, wtf

[Hoosier59]

In Walkers defense he did hesitate, but when the umpire didn’t yell foul ball he had no choice but to run. It was kind of weak, but how do 4 umpires not see that and is that play not reviewable. MLB has to protect those in blue.

[ramfandan]

wth umpires?
ONE of you should have seen that fouled off his foot.

If a the ball is batted off the foot , it can be a ball 'in play' if the umpire determines the foot was in fair territory at the time it was struck .
Here is summary of the rule :

Yes, a ball hitting the batter's foot and going fair is considered a fair ball in play, provided the batter's foot is in fair territory when it'(poop). The location of the ball determines fair or foul, not the location of the batter's body or feet when the ball hits them, but the part of the body that is hit. The ball remains in play.

So that is why Walker had to run that ball out .

[craviduce]

Cards in their element...runner on 3B, less than 2 outs...strike out.

let's see how Ivan does with 2 outs

[Ozziesfan41]

Another brilliant move by oli sacrificing and giving up an out to bring up noot as if he was going to do anything but strikeout

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Nootbaar is useless.

[82birds]

foregone conclusion that Noot would strike out there

[craviduce]

Walk...come on, Burley...bring in the Vermin

How does Walker not sell that as going off the top of his foot???

I had the same thought.

...Blame that on the HP ump... If he dosen't call "foul" immediately, ya gotta run. Makes no difference of the batter's opinion... Walker woulda been criticized if he DIDN'T run... Whole crew of umps blew that call... SOMEBODY should have seen the ball hit off Walker's foot...

Agreed Duce. His D is still amazing. Please don't eat his salary and get nothing back. Just keep him here. His O has declined but he still has tremendous value to this team.

[Hoosier59]

I think Nootbaar knows his days are numbered St. Louis, and that’s why he can’t hit a lick right now.
