Nice , only 5 runs down .. easy to get back !!

The Cardinals are just a better team, I doubt the Rangers win the series this year. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see this team winning.

Based on the National Broadcast commentary.

According to those guys and the way they call the game, the cards all but had it wrapped up before the series got started!

Remind me to ask you all my MLB questions going forward, since you seem to be an expert ..

The same clowns that had New York to win the pennant last year, Texas to win the World Series, and Philadelphia to beat New York in the World Series this year.

lol, his job is to get the ball accurately to first. if his job was to just get it in the general vicinity then I'd be playing college ball right now.

OK, you've made me get to a real keyboard.


He did get the ball accurately to first. Did the first baseman catch it? Yes. Did the first baseman get the ball and make the tag? Yes.

So pray tell, how is it Kinsler's fault?

Napoli had to jump up and to his left to get that ball. It was not accurately thrown.

It was accurate enough to get the job done. End of argument.

Napoli made a good play on it. It was not accurate. Kinsler and the umpire both screwed up. I agree that now the argument is over.

Kinsler delivered the ball and it reached it's intended target to make the play.

Nowhere does it say each play has to be textbook picture perfect. That's why the GD umpire is on the bag. If each play had to be perfect or it was a gimme, they could upm from the stands.

Kinsler did his job. Just because it wasn't a perfect throw does not give the umpire slack to make a WRONG call.

End of the 5th Cardz 8-6

Come on Rangers!!!

Kinsler isn't the guy you want to see at bat in that situation. As much as I prayed for a hit....

I'm not excusing the fact that the umpire made a terrible call. I believe my first post on it was "how does the umpire miss that call?" I'm not saying it has to be a perfect throw, but it was a bad throw. If the first baseman has to make anything more than a regular effort to catch the ball (coming off the base, jumping, digging it out of the dirt, etc.) it is not accurately thrown. If Napoli jumps off the base and drops it or can't get the tag down in time, is it still accurately thrown?
