April 13, 20188 yr Where would you have liked Mayer to run to and wait to make sure it wasn’t getting caught? 2nd base? Past 2nd?He should be just short of 2nd base. When the RFer turns to face the wall, you take off. When the ball gets past the RFer on the ricochet, you score easily.
April 13, 20188 yr Author False. I just rewound and watched it. It hit 15 ft up on the wall, off the "M" in U of M appreciation night. By then the RFer had turned his back to the IF, the signal to a baserunner to take off. Mauer should score on that.'

By then the RFer had turned his back to the IF, the signal to a baserunner to take off. Mauer should score on that.'Sorry, but your statement is the one that's false. The trajectory of the ball was nearly vertical by the time it reached the wall. Hitting 15 feet up the wall translates to about 2 feet farther horizontally.
April 13, 20188 yr Unfortunately... Yes. The Baseball Gods have a sense of humor. One God's sense of humor is one mortal's anguish and pain. It seems like the Baseball Gods are like Greek and Roman gods of Chief's youth - amusing themselves by playing tricks on the people of earth.
April 13, 20188 yr Where would you have liked Mayer to run to and wait to make sure it wasn’t getting caught? 2nd base? Past 2nd?I didn't see the play either, but yeah, rounding second, then if it's caught sprint back ..imo, again didn't see it Edited April 13, 20188 yr by Hosken Bombo Disco
April 13, 20188 yr The Mauer debate is getting a little math-y (and maybe physic-y). Is that allowed?
April 13, 20188 yr The replay corrects an injustice!I don't understand how he was called out in the first place. Umpires are better than that, usually.
April 13, 20188 yr Why would you try to throw buxton out at home? Even playing in everything has to be perfect
April 13, 20188 yr That's how wheels can score a run. Very few players can do what Buxton did on that trip around the bases.
April 13, 20188 yr Author I don't understand how he was called out in the first place. Umpires are better than that, usually. The Ump couldn't tell from the trajectory. He had to hold up to make sure the ball was caught.
April 13, 20188 yr The Ump couldn't tell from the trajectory. He had to hold up to make sure the ball was caught. that's the thing...I could tell both of em from my living room
April 13, 20188 yr Author that's the thing...I could tell both of em from my living room Did you factor in the time zone?
April 13, 20188 yr I have 4 White Sox that come up to me when I am using the urinal and start having a conversation if they should piss on me. I'm Guessing Jake Peavy, Gordon Beckham, Adam Dunn and John Danks Dick Allen, Woodie Held, Lance Johnson and Willy Garcia?
April 13, 20188 yr Did you factor in the time zone? you think this is some rook you're dealing with here?? Of course. It's easy in AZ. We don't play no "Savings Time" games.
April 13, 20188 yr That's how wheels can score a run. Very few players can do what Buxton did on that trip around the bases. You are saying he is faster than Joe and would have scored on Sano's double?
April 13, 20188 yr Author I will disclose publicly that back in November I picked the Maple Leafs as the next Stanley Cup Champion. There is no reason for me to admit this when they are losing 3-1 in Game One.
April 13, 20188 yr You are saying he is faster than Joe and would have scored on Sano's double?low hurdle. Even Sano would've scored on Sano's double.
