It's considered a deep single. Ozuna gets to score from first and Realmuto is called out after getting credit for the single since he passed Ozuna after first base.Chris_H_2 wrote:How do you score that?
LA wouldn't know about it because it happened in the 2nd inning and no one is at the ballpark yet.doug rr wrote:LA would have figured out a way to blame donny baseballChris_H_2 wrote:How do you score that?

How in the world??numbers wrote:The only time I've seen something close to that was when Gabe Kapler blew out his Achilles while running the bases after a HR. I think they let a pinch runner finish for him.
Sigh.
Yeah it was weird. IIRC, he was already on 1st base, someone else hit the HR. It was in Toronto, probably 2005 or 2006. He went down rounding 2nd base and couldnt walk after. I want to say they let someone run for him, because I would remember if they lost a run because of it.Fuck You Jobu wrote:How in the world??numbers wrote:The only time I've seen something close to that was when Gabe Kapler blew out his Achilles while running the bases after a HR.

I remember this, they definitely allowed the run. Fuckin' artificial surface; it's not even really baseball! (you hear that, phil?)numbers wrote:Yeah it was weird.

A couple years ago, the Jays spent something like $700,000 on a research project to look into the feasibility of growing grass in the Dome. Hopefully they'll be able to do it within the next few years.
Oh god no... the dome cost something like $500 million to build, and Rogers bought it in 2004 for $25 million. They're going to milk it for everything it's got.numbers wrote:Is there ever any talk of a new stadium?philpritchard wrote:Preaching to the choir.Simple Torture wrote:I remember this, they definitely allowed the run.

Yeah, aesthetics is the domes main problem. It was built just as the cookie cutter stadium era was ending.philpritchard wrote:Oh god no... the dome cost something like $500 million to build, and Rogers bought it in 2004 for $25 million.

To be fair, the location is amazing and they're putting a significant amount of money into upgrades, so it's not like they're just letting it rot.
It was such an engineering marvel that, at the time, it was amazing to see and absolutely state-of-the-art. But yeah, immediately after that teams switched the the classic, throwback look that we've seen ever since... and it's sooooo much better that way.numbers wrote:Yeah, aesthetics is the domes main problem.
