In all fairness to the Marlins runner, Posey was on the way to the plate and if he had have caught the ball cleanly and wasnt charged, it would have been an easy tag. I think the takeout was the percentage play.
I have zero allegiances to either side, but I really do feel for him with the injury and to his credit, the first thing Cousins did after the play was to go back to Posey (and not celebrate scoring the go ahead run).
Here is the problem though as Cousins (who actually grew up a Giants fan and went to college here in SF) cross the baseline INTO fair territory to take out Posey. That is where the issue is. There was a video that for the life of me I can't find that showed form straight above and showed how much room Cousins actually had to slide around.
I'm not saying what he did was dirty or wrong in essence he just executed it wrong. That's what happens when you are a rookie with the game on the line and your fighting for a BENCH role. If you put an experience vet in there, they would like take the open lane and try and swipe the plate.
The home plate rule should be changed because home plate collisions add absolutely nothing to the game. Except for a very good chance of injury.
Ray Fosse's career was changed after the collision with Pete Rose during a ALL STAR game.
Anyways it turns out Posey has a broken leg along with three torn ligaments in his ankle.
This sucks because everyone except for Posey, Sanchez, Sandoval have been slumping. Well Ross and Torres were fine but have started to jump into a slump. It also doesn't help that Sanchez has been dealing with lingering shoulder soreness so he isn't exactly playing every day. Darren Ford was actually playing good too, well in the limited at bats he got he constantly got on base but hes out too now.
Belt needs to kill it, Huff, Burrell and Torres need to start going back to last years way of playing and wait for a mistake until 2 strikes. The ****ers are swinging at first pitch breaking balls at their back foot.
If I see anything other then Crawford at SS and Burriss at 3rd I'm going to freak. Tejada sucks. At least with Crawford and Burriss you have amazing range and very good D plus lots of speed. Since our power hitters are either injured or struggling but for hits and steal lots of bases. Sadly Bochy hates bunting so we are basically ****ed unless Crawford and Belt show their power potential.
The Red Sox got crushed by the White Sox. The score was 10-7 but until the 7th inning or so the white sox were up 8-1. At least the red sox made a comeback. On a brighter note Game 1 of the Stanly Cup is tomorrow and everyone in Boston is going crazy.
