WOW! A Sam Thompson sighting.

 

[PurplFrawg]

now that was hilarious!

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Glad they left Birdsell in. Byrne gets his 3rd hit and we lead 3-0

 

[PurplFrawg]

Tadlock should have listened to Molina the first time!

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Hmmm... I thought the catcher wasn't allowed to block the plate.

Not without the ball.

 

[Deep Purple]

Not without the ball.

He was straddling the plate long before he caught the ball.

 

[Pharm Frog]

That was not a safety squeeze Chuck. Opposite

Cannot obstruct the entire plate. I did not see the play because just got back from church but they’ll never call it if the runner has at least a portion of the plate to target and even then won’t unless there’s contact. Clever catchers can totally screw with runners.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

We'll take it. 4-0 on a WP

 

[Pharm Frog]

So first and third and no outs and Frogs K three times in a row and score 1. Frogball.

Catcher straddling the plate, SS threw the ball to him right there, and TCU runner ran into catcher trying to reach the plate. Definitely contact.

Was there contact before the catcher possessed the ball? If not…no worries

 

[Pharm Frog]

Huge K and F5. Great mound work after the walk and seeing eye single past the octogenarian at 2B

Got it. Muchas gracias.

 

[QuilterFrawg]

Frogs leading 4-0, coming to bat B7

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Final: KSU 8, Texas 1.

 

[PurplFrawg]

Whorns now 0-2 in the series in Manhattan.

 

[Pharm Frog]

So is that three base runners lost on the paths this game?

Disregard. Read that as LOB... But yes, I believe that's the 3rd.

 

[Pharm Frog]

WOW! A Sam Thompson sighting.

I think this was the last time we saw him on the field....
