My own take is that you hit the grounder---you ran to first---the ump called you out.---No reason to keep running the bases.

Yeah I’m just running for nothing now. If I’m running out a grounder there’s a small chance of an error but here there’s no chance.

Interesting distinction.

It seems MLB position players always run through the bag on a grounder.

MLB pitchers, in the days before the universal DH, would sometimes make a U-turn to the dugout halfway down the first-base line.

Do you think Pete Rose barrels over Ray Fosse like he did in the 1970 All Star game if the AL was up 15-2 in the 7th inning? I think so.

Anyway, I guess I'm on deck, and will start getting my bowling shoes ready, gonna drill up some new bowling balls for this game, and even chalk up my pool cue as I do play some pool on the side, and see if I can buck the trend here and get back to Archie's winning ways.

Pete would have slammed into his own mother if she was blocking the plate, he only knew one way to play the game, didn't matter if it was an All Star game, a WS game, or an exhibition game

Since this month already has tossed the limit for gutter balls, I'll wish you luck much earlier than planned.

I need 5-0 to activate so probably won't have action but it still feels good to FADE the WADE.
