Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

JORR, did you happen to hear the announcers during the game? They also said - many times - that it was a bad call and that Quade was right.

Of course, one of those two announcers played many years in the big leagues, so he probably doesn't know anything about the neighborhood play either.

if you do not have the ball in your possession while touching second base then the runner should be safe 100% of the time

bad call... and the "neighborhood " thing is burrito as fuck..if you do not have the ball in your possession while touching second base then the runner should be safe 100% of the time..most fat fuck umps are useless and bad at their job...that is why those bums blow that call most of the time....but you are right about quade being in way over his head

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I'm really not in the mood to read through the argument, but my understanding of the Neighborhood Play is that the out is basically given when the player is in the neighborhood but the ball is thrown to the point where an out would be a given. My opinion of the play yesterday was that Morel's throw was so far off, I wouldn't have given the out because it felt no different than when a wide throw comes into first and it drags the first baseman off the bag.

I think you may be talking about a different play, Boyd. The one where Morel's throw pulled Beckham off was a lot more to argue about in my opinion. They didn't complete the double play on that one and there's no neighborhood on a force at second. I could see screaming about that.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Is there video of the play in question? I did not get to see it either.

Maybe I think you're the one that just has to argue.

It wasn't a missed call. It's the call that is made all the time. I've supported my argument as opposed to those of you who just keep repeating that "it's a missed call".

Quade was ridiculous. But he's a ridiculous minor league dope who is in a position where he shouldn't be and doesn't have the respect of his own team.

Let me give you an analogy. It's obviously against the rules of basketball to carry the ball. Yet on many drives to the hoop players routinely take more than the one and a half steps that are allowed. While it isn't mentioned in the rule book, it has become NBA custom. What Quade did is akin to an NBA coach running on the floor like a nut to argue that a guy traveled after taking three steps to score. Would you call that a "missed call"?

After watching the angles on the video, given where the umpire positions themselves, I guess it was ok for the Neighborhood Play.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

If this had happened to the Sox, and Hawk Harrelson or our very own FrankC were complaining about it, they would be getting barbecued. Double standard, I tell you.

You know who the best shortstop was at turning the double play.....Rico Petrocelli.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Dunn, 2 for his last 25 over his last 7 games, gets the start at first.
What the fuck man.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Dunn is an automatic out man.
He's going to need a couple weeks off I think.

Aram halfassed his way into giving a free baserunner.
Stupid ass.

He was just giving them a chance to pull off a double play.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

So far today my verdict is... bad baseball.

Not sure what Beckham was looking at there.

And a terrible send for Soto to try to beat that out. Should have held at 3rd.

Bad baseball.
