[ QUOTE ] yes cause money really bought cano... [/ QUOTE ] Well you know, he is making $20 mil as a rookie. Imagine how much he'll be making in 5 years? Not to mention the fact that in sports your current salary has nothing to do with your current production. [/ QUOTE ] A-Rod and Jeter combine for like $44M per year. Yet neither one (especially CAPTAIN JETER) is wise enough to make sure rookies know how to "play the game the right way--like a true YANKEE". LOLOL.

Re: Question about Cano\'s baserunning
Yeah, they should have reminded him, by the way, when you strike out, and the ball gets away from the catcher, run an inch or two to the right of where you might just in case the umpire makes an arguable call against you.
In forty-five years, I've never seen that call made unless the ball hits the runner. And I've never seen that call made when it's questionable whether the runner was inside the line or not, as Cano was only when there's no question the batter was running in fair territory.

[ QUOTE ] The catcher doesn't care where he sets up... he just throws it down. [/ QUOTE ] this is one of the dumbest things I have heard in the sports forum in a long time. [/ QUOTE ] Although it may have been stated better, the fact of the matter is that the throw was to the inside of the bag. This supports K-Steel's point. The defense is entitled to the inside in which to make the throw. It is a fundamental rule that the runner shall stay on the outside of the line. Just because Erstad set up incorrectly does not change the rule. If the throw was to the outside (and thus there would be literal interference, but not interference by rule) the defense assumes the risk ... that is the runner's territory. The rule is enforced at all levels of the game, it is enforced throught the MLB season. When I watched the play, first thing I though was runner's interference. Whether Cano changed to avoid where he "thought" the throw was heading is irrelevant: He ran on the inside, the throw was on the inside - that is interference. Whether you agree with the rule is not the issue. In reality, the play would have been fundamental had Erstad set up where he was supposed to. A professional athelete has little excuse for not doing the "little" things right. Cano should have been running outside of the line.

If you guys stopped quoting K Steel then I'd really be able to ignore him.

The only thing worse here would have been for him to just throw his helmet off and walk away instead of even running down there.
