This isn't 1954. It's okay to cuss. Kids won't be cursed if they hear it.

I get your point. But at the same time...unless you're right there in the front row, you're not going to hear that. And if your kid does hear it, it's a chance for the parents to have a teaching moment with their kids. Just because someone is a role model, doesn't mean they have to be perfect 100% of the time. It's up to the parents to take moments like that to say to their kids, "I would be very disappointed in you if you did something like that after striking out."

Maybe it's because the ball was clearly foul?

Goodness....lol

Cozart has to get the suicide down.....that was horrible and lead to a silly thread of back and forth.

Did you not see the shot of the foul line?

The ball clearly nicked the line. By rule, that's a fair ball. It was about as close as it could've been to being foul, but the call was justified.

I didn't catch that play but seeing as Footwedge said it was clearly foul I knew then it was fair for sure.

I will confirm what Azu said. There is no debate, it was clearly fair. Probably by an inch but it was fair.

No it wasn't. Hit the edge of the line

Wrong. The ball clearly landed foul...on every replay. When a ball lands the area around the "divot" will crater cave in around the impact area. That is what happened.... The full "divot" that showed touching the outside of the chalk was a good 4-5 inches in diameter if not more. The "divot" was also oblong. How is that possible? A baseball that hits the ground probably impacts at less than 1.5 inches max. The graphic was very misleading...just look at all the baffoons that have bought into it here. My rant BTW has nothing to do with being an Indian homer. I was the most blatant critic here on Angel's blown call on Perez' home run against Oakland.

This constitutes an act of parenting, which is strictly prohibited in 2013
