I just woke up and turned on the game to that play and was thinking it was clearly blocking the plate. I agree with Block and Wehner, by not sliding we got the correct call. That's where guys always seemed to get called out.



Won't be surprised if this catches on. Exceptionally smart move by Allen because he complained about it right away.

Good to see the Bucs take advantage of not getting hosed for once.

Holderman went through those three batters like a hot knife through butter!



Hope he comes out for the 8th

You can ump home plate from that position than Jerry Meals! ;D ;D ;D ;D

How are Oliver and Sanguillen and Candelaria not part of the inaugural Pirates HOF?

[Surgnbuck]

Holderman at his terminal count IMO.....Cruz error makes me nervous with the pitch count up and a lefty, should be out of the inning.



If this guy gets on, gotta make a switch

[Surgnbuck]

Okay, Chavis saves us and no damage.



Nice pick up this is looking like getting Holderman

[Surgnbuck]

Managers really look stupid coming out to argue a replay call.

Raise the Jolly Roger!!!!

I have just became a huge fan of Greg Allen. That guy has some serious baseball smarts
