    Yes, but this seemed far worse, as though some automated process was just playing ads with no regard as to whether the game was underway.

    The advertising name on the pitching mound is dumb.

    I checked in and out of that game and boy do those like like to talk a lot in the broadcast booth. I mean, take a freaking breath once in a while, will ya?
    How many players do you see run on the infield grass to get to first base. It was intentional and he even threw his shoulder over to hit the ball. He was out of the base line.

    Indeed. My wife and I debated what the call should be. I was thinking either ground rule double or a single with a fielding error, which would allow 1 base advancement since it essentially bounced off the fielder and out of play.

    It completely sucked for the Rays, but it was an excellent game.

    It doesn't matter how often it happens. It

    I saw no movement of his shoulder. One of the broadcasters whined about it, but I saw nothing of the sort. The rule is that he doesn't need to be in the lane until he reaches the lane, which is half way down the line. Only if it's deemed by the umpire that there was intentional interference can the runner be called out.

    I still don't get the five-game series in the first round. It's harder to win that than a seven-game series. You'd think MLB would at least go for the extra revenue by going seven games in round one.

    SF and LA flashing the leather to back up some great pitching. Really enjoyed tonights game.

    And someone should send a tape to Cashman...

    As much as I despise New England teams I'm glad the Red Sox won after the shit move Arozarena did after hitting a home run in game one. And it also negates talking about stealing home during the playoffs.

    What was this shit move he did? I must have missed it. I do think some of these players are becoming a bit too arrogant. I don't want MLB to turn into the NFL.

    Booo, Red Sox!

    There's an irony listening to Rays fans mewling about the ground rule double ruling, when, like, the Trop Dome...

    Here are the video replays of what you are referencing. Can you indicate where in the video we are supposed to be seeing this?

    Also, there will be no further talk of stealing home for the duration of the MLB playoffs? If a runner is on 3rd, it might get a little quiet in the booth.

    ^^ I see no shit move. What I see is a self-absorbed athlete thumping his chest to his teammates. I certainly saw nothing directed at the other team.

    Same here.

    I don't like the standing around admiring your homer, but almost everybody does that and it's been going on for a long time. It's always nice to see one drop in once in a while and the strutting, preening batter gets put out or stuck with only a single when they should have gotten extras. That's almost as good as when a receiver styles heading through the red zone and fumbles on his own accord.

    Thank you, thank you very much. Unbelievable. Last place to ALCS for the 2nd time in a decade.

    Kind of rooting for an all Sox series next. I'm watching the Chicago game in delay right now.

    And to make you more sad, report is Boone is probably sticking around.

    Why does this series go 5 games? Why do they not change that?

    edit: what about the 1-game wild card.

    What would be the ideal playoff structure?

    Guys, move on.

    Not fond of the level of grandstanding and attitude that seems to be increasing in frequency in baseball. In the end, it means nothing. And for the next few weeks, Arozarena can chest thump all he wants from the comfort of his own couch.
