Bush League A-Rod

Someone could get hurt. Next time there's a pop-up in the infield and say the 2B calls for it, the 1st baseman may think it's the runner and just continue to go for it. Boom, collision, possible injuries.

exactly, i think that's one of the reasons why the rule is enforced in the first place

You won't hear anything about Mike Lowell's play, but of course all of Arod's plays are bush league.

Mike Lowell was running through the basepath. A-Rod was tagged out at second base and then got up and elbowed Pedroia.

I think there is a difference between these two things. I don't know why A-Rod couldn't just slide hard into second like every other baseball player.

Mike Lowell's contact was a clean play. Lowell has the right to do what ever he wants because he is in the basepath. Cano was blocking his route to 2nd base. Lowell has every right to do what he did.

That was the quote by that supposed "third baseman".. scrub or not, I think I"ll trust his words (an MLB talent) more than yours

Just to let you know Lasorda and Joe Morgan have said this is commonplace

What rule enforced? There is no rule

Jerry Remy, color guy for the Red Sox and former 2B said baserunners used to do it all the time in the 70s.

ARod hit a HR off of Papelbon in a tie game...

Begin dissecting how ARod could have done this all along if he wasnt out gallavanting with manly blondes and debate how he paused for a second after he hit the HR, and how that will affect all of MLB and the human race.

no he wasnt, watch the replay....he stopped, took a step back, and then decked CAno......if he was running to 2nd and did it WHILE running, it wouldve been ok.....but he stopped, stepped back, and then delivered the hit with the elbow....that was a big time cheap shot

That was not a cheap shot at all. Would you like for players to just give up and give up two outs? He was trying to allow Tek enough time to get to the first. Cano made a hell of a play tho. It wasn't dirty or anything he was in the baseline and Lowell has the right to knock him down.

...so long as you are running trying to get to 2nd......Lowell had stopped, and this is why it was a cheap shot....watch the replay and you can see Lowells elbow out in front of his body....it was a cheap shot, he stopped, took one step back, and then just tried to deck Cano, thankfully his bush league crap didnt work

Post #39 » by **sunshinekids99** » Mon Jun 4, 2007 10:14 pm

It was not bush league. I don't care if he stopped or not. He saw it as a way to get out of a double play, Cano just made the play. There was no intent to hurt Cano.
