The strings got him!

[Thunderheads]

I guess the strings of the mitt got his shoulder?

[scrounge]

it was slight but I think it was more than just the strings, fine by me with an out/call stands

[noumpere]

He looks out in real time, and out on the first replay shown.

 

I didn't really watch beyond that -- is there anything to learn here?

Perhaps nothing to learn, but a reminder that any part of the glove touching any part of the runner — including his uniform — constitutes a tag?

The eponymous strings would have been sufficient.

[noumpere]

"string" is eponymous?

[MObetterBlue]

Epo what...?  Looked like a good call to me.  In real time that's a great call!

Those are some of my favorite calls to make too.  Seeing a good throw coming down and knowing that it's going to be a close play, I love that stuff!

That was a good game.  The Braves walked-off with a 2-run HR in the 12th after being down 6-0 earlier in the game and giving up a go-ahead run in the top of the 12th.

Epo what...? 

Yes...nobody, at least nobody I've seen here (no offense to the brethren), has the vocabulary @Maven has. Quite impressive.

[Aging_Arbiter]

C"mon guys.............eponymous

[maven]

"string" is eponymous?

For this thread, it is.

[noumpere]

For this thread, it is.

The defender is named string?  Could be, I suppose -- I didn't pay that much attention.

[noumpere]

Yes...nobody, at least nobody I've seen here (no offense to the brethren), has the vocabulary @Maven has. Quite impressive.

He's a real cunning linguist.

[Kevin_K]

Not to be confused with Colonel Angus.....

What "eponymous" means! At least that is one thing I learned!

[MObetterBlue]

Indubitably!
