At the time it was the right call..
But if the infield wasn’t in on the grass, that’s likely a double play ball.. Yay for circumstances!

Those hitters do not matter and they set up force plays.
It is absolutely the right call even ignoring that they were Ichiro and Branyan
Yeah, they play you are most worried about in that situation is the squeeze
and having the bases loaded takes that away and wipes out the team’s two best hitters. I don’t see how it couldn’t be the correct call.
I guess you could argue that it drew the infield forward and didn't allow them to have a high enough amount of range.

Lopez...
needs to calm down…2 punches to the kidneys and a kick to the ribs.
It’s all fun and games until someone needs dialysis.
Agreed, that's a bit sick. Kicking? What's that about?
Seems a bit passive/aggressive

Actually it seems like the opposite of passive-aggressive

I should have said aggressive-passive?
Right, but that’s just sick. I didn’t want to call him sick. With his pathetic defense and clueless offense that just seemed cruel.

If Yuni pursued grounballs like he does teammates that just hit a game winning single
He might still have some value.
O good gravy that call SUCKED!!!
I was in 108, and looked to the left to see where the ball landed. It was so far foul I couldn’t believe it wasn’t a no-brainer call. It landed in the seats about 1 or 2 sectsions to the right side of the foul pole. I went ballistic when they called it a HR. So badly so that my kid kept hitting me for using every word in the book — “STOP SAYING BAD WORDS, DAD!!!”

I was just wondering...
…if it’s too late to get back on the Beltre bandwagon.
Last 13 games: .421/.441/.561
They are still white and have similar generic names and are not good.

Burros means donkey.
i would find it humorous if your name was Donkey Burros.
...and now I'm here
This was a statement game.
Ichiro is selfish for IBBing.
Clement is better than Rob Johnson.
Cedeno should be at short.
HARPER!
Someone is going to say this is a statement game.
Which means another 6 game losing streak and and 0-21 slump for Beltre.
Plus, his butt will be so sore from Felix we won’t even be able to bench him.
