He’s the CF….When he is calling for it, the RF needs to get the feek out of the way.

Fielder tried to score. Fukudome took him OUT with a strike to Soto.

Dome made up for his mental error earlier in the inning

and threw Fielder out at home on a single. Fielder barrelled into Soto who hung on to the ball for 3rd out of inning

DIRTY.

That was a little dirty. Fielder shoved his elbow into Geovany’s face. WTF? You’re not supposed to lead with your shoulder and arm like that. Way to go Geo. Helluva throw from Kosuke too.

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:00 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not dirty...

that’s exactly how you do it. You lead with your shoulder and forearm as a runner. Otherwise, you take the brunt of the collision yourself. It’s a painful play for the catcher, but that’s the way it goes.

by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:01 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not how I was taught.

You don’t go for the face. I was told you’re supposed to cross your arms and just run into him. NOT go for the face like the replay seemed to indicate, although such a thing could be inadvertent on Fielder’s part too.

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:04 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

To be honest...

I don’t think he was aiming for anything but Soto in general. You’re running full speed and trying to deliver a blow. It’s hard to line up your hit exactly in the chest if you don’t do it regularly.

And what you were taught as a child has a lot more to do with the fact that little kids shouldn’t be hitting other little kids in the face. It’s a little different at the next level.

by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:04 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

FYI - Brenly agrees...

it was a high hit, but not a dirty play. Just good hard baseball.

by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:05 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Even so.

It looked like he was trying to elbow him in the face. I realize it’s a hard play, but still.

At least we can take heart that it wasn’t Barrett, who probably would have slugged him. ; )

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

by northsider on May 1, 2008 3:06 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think he was TRYING to elbow him in the face...

again, at full speed, you’re just trying to deliver a big blow. It’s hard to aim when you’re running that hard. I really don’t think he was trying to elbow Soto in the face.

by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:08 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Wasn't arguing with the "inadvertant" part...

I was arguing with the “dirty” part.

If it was intentional, it was dirty. I do not think it was intentional. Thus, I think it was not dirty.

by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:12 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Semantics.

I said I thought it was dirty, but it also could have been inadvertent. You win, congratulations.

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

You didn't say "I thought."

You said “that was a little dirty.”

by SouthernCub on May 1, 2008 3:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

To clarify...

My replies to your “I thought it was inadvertant” weren’t arguing. Just pointing out my view of the play. I agree that neither of us can know what is actually the case. Please don’t take it so contentiously.

Soto's got balls of steel for hangin' in there on that play.

Alright, so one fan

from the other team agrees, while 10-12 people from here say he’s automatically safe doesn’t constitute homerism?

I didn’t misinterpret anything, I’m saying that once he was tagged, people automatically thought he was safe because a) the crowd boo’ed, b) Piniella came out and c) it was a close call. It could have gone two ways, yes, but the sudden comments brought up right afterwards only went one way.

Before you try to correct me, read what I’m really trying to say before you get offended.

Haha, there you go again.

Maybe you should read what other people said instead of telling me to read yours, which I characterized correctly. I don’t think anyone based their decision on “the crowd booing” or “Piniella coming out” or just because it was a “close call”. They made their decisions based on ….. the replay …. that they saw … with their own eyes …

And it’s not just one fan over there. Go count them at bizarro BCB. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Just about everyone who piped up over there agrees it was a bad call. I’m not offended, just stating what’s obvious to anyone who doesn’t want to cry “homerism”.

Also, cheese. Go Cubs.

Yes, but you're still mischaracterizing what I said.

Having a great HD bigscreen, I saw it during the play that Fuku slid under the tag.
And then the replay from several angles confirmed it.

Fuku was indeed robbed, and I hop it doesn’t come back to bite us in the end.

was marmol's name ever settled?

is it “mar-mel” or “mar-MOLE” ?

i like “mar-mel” a lot better, like how len and bob say it. “mar-MOLE” is how the national guys say it.

In Spanish...

it is pronounced “mar-MOLE”

but that’s often not how American play-by-play guys pronounce things.

Mar-MOLE

He’s got an accent over the a, which you’d pronounce it like that.

Actually...

if there is an accent over the “a”, then it would be pronounced: MAR-mole.

I didn’t know there was an accent over the “a.”

In either case, he “a” makes an “ah” sound, and the o makes an “oh” sound. If the accent is on the “a”, then the first syllable is said with more emphasis.

I described my post wrong

you’re right, that’s what I was trying to get at.
