GDT : Cards @ Giants (9/23) ~ 8:45pm CDT

In retrospect, Arenado should have taken the double play with a 3-run lead.

...Agreed... Probably no 5 runs score, and Cards could have survived with the lead intact...

What a stupid play by Arenado

He had a 5-4-3 or he could have tagged runner going to third and thrown to first

Gold Glover my (donkey)

He totally blew that inning up, could be 3-1 instead of 5-3

Agree to disagree. He made the right play. Always take away the run when you can go home and make a play.

This ump is awful too. The replay can't get here soon enough, but two challenges will not be enough when they miss 12 to 15 calls a night.

Totally disagree go 5-4-3 and runner on 3rd with 2 out and 2 run lead

Stupid play by Arenado

just make sure you challenge properly, and you keep your challenges. 2 wrong ones, and you're out of them

most of these guys have used the challenge system in AAA. The rest who are veterans used it in Spring Training. They'll get another go at it next March...they'll have a game plan, I'm sure.

Scott is a good flychaser, but he is a cipher at bat, and has a noodle arm.

You get the lead runner. Not Nados fault that the baserunner ran inside. [nonsense] rule that they can.

I wonder if they know the strike zone well enough to make it work. Guess we will find out.

Nice throw Gorman! Oh wait!

That was on Pallante and the jam he put this team in.

...Not entirely... He got the ground ball he wanted, and the runs scored on the error. No error, no runs score. But, Pallante allowing bases to be loaded didn't help any...

The infield didn't load the bases. Pallante did.

...That's what I said... Didn't say anything about the infield except for the error on the 3B defender...

But you but this jam on Nado?

It wasn't a true error. (bleep) rule but not Nados fault.

...I totally agree, but that is not how it will look in the boxscore. The way it is now, what is to prevent the runner from turning around, running backwards and moving in front of the thrown ball to allow it to hit him..?

Not a 5, 4 ,3 DP when the 3rd basemen has to charge.

one neat thing about the ABS system...it's being used in Low A...or it was used in Low A, season is over with now, to test Check Swings... brilliant system, and it worked flawlessly. The test was 1 challenge with the ABS. If you were correct, offense or defense, you keep the challenge. If you're wrong, then no more ABS challenges on check swings, but you can still appeal to the field umpire.

I personally would like to see that make its way to the Big Leauges....check swings need to be 100% called correctly. The eye test has been so flawed.

...NY review was questionable... I didn't think there was enough evidence to overturn the ump... That and the big strike zone Webb is getting sorta hamstrings the Cards...

[Clubmaker2]

heck they will need 3 challenges a game just for walker if he is on the team

[Whatashame]

This replay system is just flawed. There is no way that there was clear and convincing evidence that Scott was out to overturn the call I thought Scott was safe but to say that he is clearly out is just [nonsense].

Cubs were leading the Mets 6-1 then Mets got 5 in one inning to tie it.
now 9-7 Mets top of 9

9-7 Final

Go figure - on the very rare occasion that I want the small bears to win, they fail spectacularly.

yeah
up 6-1, they peed that one down their leg
