The ONLY justification coming out of NY must be that Contreras stepped a little further to the left than he needed to to make the catch. Otherwise, the world is consumed by disorder and darkness. Say the radio guys out of Chicago.

In a postseason full of managers getting second guessed for their bullpen moves, Dave Roberts looks brilliant cause his team is gooooooood

Vernacular posted:Ron Darling doesn't know when to stop I don't understand the insistence to have a former player in the booth, especially when they're terrible. For every Smoltz or A-Rod you get 100 Joe Theissmans. There's zero insight and Darling's voice is god awful.

wyoak posted:It was the right call, his leg definitely went out further than needed to catch the ball. Still a nice try by Contreras It was the obviousness of the extend plant I saw in the replay that sealed it for me. Shame it wasted a good beefy defensive play but, baseball vOv

Say the radio guys out of Chicago.  IMO, it's a close play and I'm not overly bothered by it. If the ball gets there 1/4 second earlier and it's the perfect out and a 1/4 second later and it's clearly blocking the plate.

SourKraut posted:Exactly, and while there’s still at least three more games, the bullpen struggles don’t leave me with much hope. I just hope they make improving the bullpen a big part of the offseason.  Oh god Canadian coverage just had Zaun showing the Posey play again

With no rule, the runner can just blow up the catcher. If you cant blow up the catcher, he cant block the plate, its a pretty fair rule.

What if we allow the umpire to ask Wilson if he intended to block the runner? That way we will know for sure.

And the Cubs are probably going to dominate the NL Central for the next 5 years. The last year an NL Central team wasn't in the NLCS was 2010.  That being said, I'm a little skeptical about Cubs dominance for that long; the pitching seems suspect, the Brewers have a pretty good youth movement coming and the Cardinals are betting pretty hard on their young pitching. Alex Reyes looked incredible last year, remember, and Luke Weaver's really coming into his own as well.
