But one thing is clear is that a tie does not exist.

They could've blown the game open that inning and made Buck look foolish for leaving Gausman in (not that I disagreed at the time, Gas Man was rolling).<br /><br />It might not be fair to assume they score more runs that inning with how Brach pitched but it's definitely a tougher situation with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.<br /><br />That being said, I've never been more jacked up in my life after Delmon hit that double. It was pure, unadulterated ecstasy in Camden Yards. I thought it was loud when Jim Johnson closed out Game 2 in 2012 but that didn't even compare.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-69394609139376588452014-10-07T13:12:38.447-04:002014-10-07T13:12:38.447-04:00my father used to umpire a lot of baseball and sof...my father used to umpire a lot of baseball and softball games, so when I was growing up, he would tell me all the time that there is no such thing as a tie, the runner is either safe or out. he may have been talking about the letter of the law, but I always took it to mean that the call is whatever the umpire believes it is, that a tie does not exist because the runner has to be safe or out. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119567934749982333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-61019587988994630112014-10-07T10:26:51.404-04:002014-10-07T10:26:51.404-04:00Yeah, that replay will be one of the top plays of ...Yeah, that replay will be one of the top plays of the season, regardless of how thing whole thing turns out.<br /><br />There's no definitive language about ties. As fans, it's understandable that we don't know. But for TBS to say it over, and over, and over when they are getting paid...slightly irritating.Pat Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200447825435518346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-78507356920443786242014-10-07T09:55:05.619-04:002014-10-07T09:55:05.619-04:00#3 - Great moment in Os history.

Watching the replay of Nelson and Steve calling the slide and then celebrating gives me chills.<br /><br />#4 - You're right that call was so close. I thought for sure they would overturn it because I have always thought the tie goes to the runner as well.Musicturtlenoreply@blogger.com
