Base Award - Oh Gubi...

[grayhawk]

Unfortunately, the clip ended before we heard Mark Gubicza say the following:

 

"The bottom line was if Howie had touched third base when that ball rolled into the dugout, then maybe, he's awarded home."

Scioscia bothers me when he does this crap. He knows the rule damn well. Howie's jogging into 2nd when the ball is rolling by him. Is Scoscia actually arguing Howie was past 2nd TOT? Maybe I'm giving Scoscia too much credit and he really DOESN'T KNOW THE RULES?

One of two things:

 

1.  He knew where Howie was and tried to convince the umpires to award home anyway.

2.  He didn't know where Howie was, and wanted to find out how sure the umpires were of the award.

 

It looked like a civil conversation, and he got the explanation he was looking for.  No big deal.

I'll buy #1. Looks like the vet varsity manager trying to pull a fast one over the rookie umpire doing his 1st varsity game.

I didn't mean the MLB umpire on the field. Just seemed like a routine call to me, and Scoscia coming out to even question it reminded me of something a  seasoned high school varsity coach might do to a rookie high school umpire to try to confuse him and award Kendrik home. As far as I'm concerned, no reason at all for a MLB manager to even question this call.

All Scosica is trying to do is get his runner awarded home.. He's fighting for his players, they are in the middle of a playoff hunt.

[grayhawk]

You might be giving Scioscia too much credit. I think most coaches will question a base award when his player is already standing on his awarded base when the ball enters DBT.

Have to agree with @grayhawk – it may not be as demonstrative as a manager coming all the way out of the dugout, but it surely happens most of the time. Anything for an extra base.
