PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at Colorado Rockies, Apr 10, 2009 2:10 PM MDT
We can expect some fun in the home opener as Philly and their finesse lefty (at least for now) ace visit:
The world champions come to Denver expecting their miseries to be solved at altitude, let's just prolong them for three more games.
Go Rockies!

Dang it!
Why doesn’t Gameday Audio have the pregame show? I wish I had an AM radio at my desk.
KOA is streaming through their website.
I usually get pre-game there before switching over to Gameday Audio.
Okay, so that wasn't the pregame show.
It was the end of Dave Logan’s show. But apparently they always end with Who’s on First? before every home opener. That was so cool.
LOL
I just downloaded it to my iTunes

This will probaby be my 1st

Go to the Rockies MLB site. There is a link there for the KOA feed.

Fowlers attempt at 3rd
If Fowler attempts that 1,000 times, what is his expectation? I would bet it is better than if he doesn’t run. Bill James did an analysis of this years ago, and he suggested that the runner should go when it is close.
one of the few
players I’ve seen that could steal 3rd consistently was Willie Taveras.
It takes speed, good jump…and knowledge of the pitchers and catchers

I don't have Alexei,
but I did start Clint. Of course, if I’d started Jayson Werth he wouldn’t have doubled and scored.
then just as I'm dissing him, Barmes with double down LF line

I don’t mind Goodman and huson so much but Frazier just gets under my skin. Plus Jeff and Jack are awesome.
Thank god for baseball season.
No kidding.
I enjoy listening to them. I think they are some of the best radio announcers out there.
They do a really good job of describing the game.
And don’t waste time with extra BS like most announcers do.

They were thinking him opening against Washington
At the Nationals park, I’m not sure when that would be.
I'm almost wondering
why they didn’t just push him back regardless of opponent given reports of his velocity and health. They don’t have a deep rotation really, so if they lose Hamels to injury, they are in trouble

Official MLB rules for interference:
Rule 7.08(b) Comment: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not.
If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he shall not be called out unless, in the umpire’s judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or foul territory, is intentional.
It's opening day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That rule appears to relate to a batted ball
instead of a thrown ball
"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein
by Andrew T. Fisher on Apr 10, 2009 3:25 PM MDT up reply actions
Other rule concering baserunners path towards the base..
7.08 Any runner is out when—
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely;
It's opening day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm
He wasn’t avoiding a tag, so that doesn’t fit perfectly, but I’d guess the three feet rule carries over. And he might have been three inches off the line, but not three feet.

by Andrew T. Fisher on Apr 10, 2009 3:27 PM MDT up reply actions
I can't find any specific rule to backup the umpire..
It does say if in the umpire’s judgement the runner interfered with the fielder he is called out. It’s sort of an ambiguous rule. I thought the runner on a bunt had to run in foul territory, but it doesn’t specifically mention that in the Baserunners portion of the rulebook.
It's opening day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasn't a batted ball.
I assume you’re talking about the play with Dex. It was on the throw to first that the ball hit Fowler.

bunting, fielding, hitting homers doubles and triples in the same inning…thats Rockies baseball
