[QUOTE="Bob Christiansen, post: 1135779, member: 178011"] So who saw the 9th inning dropped 3rd strike debacle last night? In my day a dropped third strike was just that, in the dirt or whatever. As a batter, you ran. As a catcher, you threw to first...simple as that. No confusion, no "well, the ump called him out, so I didn't need to throw..." And in watching the replay of the whole scenario, Flowers and the ump had already exchanged balls before Aybar got to first...so how could the play be properly reviewed? Granted, the out call on the field stood, but the delay and all the bullchit had to be disruptive to Robertson and the defense. Remove all doubt! Dropped third strike and the batter starts heading to first? Make the peg and be done with it. Batter stands there? Tag him. Abreu was on the bag waiting for the throw...done deal... [/QUOTE]
