That clearly hit our runner

[57stratdawg]

I'll take it though.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

second base ump owed us one, game should have been over 3 innings ago. KARMA

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

2nd out.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Superior teams from superior programs always get those kind of calls.

 

[msudawg05]

Wouldn't the run have still scored since it would have only been the 2nd out?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

It is soooooo nice to screw Bama to get a win in anything.

 

[Shamoan]

So THIS is what it feels like to win on a controversial call...any other team and I would have called it over. Get gridley to the wedding.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Bama just got screwed. I almost feel bad for them, but then I think about all of the holding calls that should have been over the years...

17 em.

I don't think any runners can advance on a ball hitting a runner. So the bases would have still been loaded with two outs, I believe.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

everybody is supposed to return to base, right?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Not sure if it a dead ball or not.

 

[rynodawg]

Interference call would have sent runners back. It's immediate dead ball. Runner that got hit should have been out, batter sent to first. Bases loaded again with 2 outs.

 

[Snog]

I don't think so. Out 2. Station to station. Runner on third was moving to home. Ballgame

 

[Snog]

I stand corrected

 

[EurekaDog]

2B runner is out. Dead ball. 3B runner returns to 3B. 1B runner moves to 2B...

The 1B runner is forced to advance to 2B.

Batter stops at 1B. (Obviously)

Once the 2B runner was out, the 3B runner was no longer forced to advance, thus he must return to his "base of origin".

 

[Shamoan]

Let this happen 1,000 times over and we could call it even.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

So we just had two runners hit by batted balls in the same game? Does our staff not use skipping rope as a training tool?**

Never mind that they would have probably not been able to turn a double play even if the runner wasn't hit. No way we get that run in with bases still loaded and 2 outs. Take it and run to the house with that tainted win.

Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah. Otherwise coaches would teach a runner to get hit there if the run counts and less than 2 outs.

 

[MSUDC11]

Andy brought some of that BS lucky mojo with him from LSU that they've used to win games for decades. Nice to finally be on the positive end of a bad call.

 

[rynodawg]

The thing that really sucks for Bama on that weird play, is that the SS was ready to turn two. The interference/deflection bailed us out, even if the ump had called it correctly.

But.... you can never assume a DP, so there is a chance Belmont beats the throw to first and we win anyway.

I'll take it! 13-5 SEC leaders!!
