RandolphScott Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I just looked up the Yankee Stadium ground rules, and it says any batted ball hitting the foul pole above the fence line is a home run. That ball hit the black part of the pole, which is below the fence line. I think that's why they called it foul. That is easily the stupidest rule I have ever heard of Mick.

mickeef2 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 That is easily the stupidest rule I have ever heard of Mick. Yeah, and after seeing it again a few times, it looks like a.) the black part of the pole is above the fence line (and why is that part of the pole even painted black?) and b.) the ball appeared to hit the mesh on the pole rather than the pole itself, which is obviously a home run. It looks like the umps just blew it. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the umps just blew it. Lame. It falls into the Yankee stadium ground rule 69a which reads "if a questionable call should at any time be ruled in favor of the visiting team it shall always be reversed so that the Yankees benefit". Its in the fine print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 From defense to the little things this team has played with an overall focus that I have not seen in quite some time. Do not know if its the Yankees, but I hope they take this focus on down to Turner and show Glavine we are still pissed about 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 i LOVE that fist pump by the end at Wright. intensity! Up by 3 in the 8th that's still a big run and that's good agressive base running by Wright. These are some good steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good signs no matter what happens with much more important games vs the Braves upcoming.

Day off Monday, Ollie had over 110 pitches. 1/3 of an inning won't kill Smith. Heilman will pitch the 9th as our garbage innings eater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I am most looking forward to seeing Pelfrey, he has impressed me the last 2 times out and has had some success against the Braves at Turner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I thought tomorrow was the double header.... why did they not make up the rain out at 1:00 today or last night? rules against so many games in consecutive days, Mets refused and Yankees did not mind as I am sure the would rather play 4 games in a month with AROD and Posada in the lineup.

gateb Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I thought tomorrow was the double header.... why did they not make up the rain out at 1:00 today or last night? Because we had that double header looming Tuesday. I don't think the Wilpons wouldve signed off on having two double headers in three days. What does confuse me is why we didn't schedule the Braves game for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
