You asked him not to hit a ground ball.
He hit a grounder up the middle. I fail to understand your thinking here.
by cwyers on Sep 7, 2008 1:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was NOT a ground ball.
If you dont believe come over and Ill rewind the DVR for you.

I have my own DVR.
Me and the Gameday scorer both consider it a ground ball. If you disagree, well, that’s your prerogative.

BS
It was a line drive up the middle.

That's what
I thought it was too… a line drive.
by sue369 on Sep 7, 2008 1:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't want to argue the issue since I'm using MLB-TV
…but IIRC it was a line drive that hit the ground somewhere in the area around 2nd base and then bounced around towards CF. Maybe I’m wrong. But that brings up a question: what is a line drive and a grounder officially? I mean a line drive can be hit and its first bounce is around 2nd base—is that technically a ground ball or a line drive…? Must it clear the IF before it is classified as a “liner”?
by zevkalman on Sep 7, 2008 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
There is no official definition.
This is why you’ll get the same play scored differently by Elias, STATS and BIS.
by cwyers on Sep 7, 2008 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
That said...
…the Project Scoresheet definition of a ground ball is a ball that touches the ground before hitting the outfield grass. The WGN camera angle didn’t show where the ball landed – I think it hit the ground in the dirt before it rolled out, based upon where it was headed, and that seems to be what the GameDay scorer thought as well.

Hardball is good, but I use ESPN’s, too, actually. Depends on the day.

Worst case scenario
(not likely)
Riot has a serious injury and is out for the season.
Cedeno (or, preferably, ONEDEC) becomes the starting SS.
DeRo becomes the backup SS as well as the starting _.
Does Lou go into the playoffs with only 3 MIs on the roster? If not, who gets the call?

We don't really have anybody else.
And we can’t add anyone, at least not to the playoff roster – players who weren’t on the 40-man as of Sept. 30 can’t be on the playoff roster. It’d be Cedeno, DeRosa and Fontenot.

Odd time to get religion.
A Theriot injury would not be spectacular for us – our organizational depth at shortstop sucks. I know he’s not very good, but the Cubs haven’t exactly gone out and tried to reinforce the position.

Latter part of a close game and Lou wants better D? But then, Hoff is still out there, so injury would be my guess.

If it wasn't for an outrageously bad call
They would of lost to a school that lost to a I-AA last week.
And there’s no arguing that call was complete bullshit. In order for it to be a touchback and not placed on the 1/2 yard line, it would of had to cross the plain of the endzone. But if it did, touchdown Aztecs.
Bullshit call led to a bullshit win.
