I remember when Tim Timmons made that call in Milwaukee a few years back, and the Milwaukee announcers were basically rolling their eyes because nobody ever calls it.<br /><br /><br />FWIW, that was the same night Balkin' Bob was behind the plate, throwing out pitching coaches and hitters and front-row fans. Good times had by all.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-68665994480543947912013-06-19T16:46:42.380-07:002013-06-19T16:46:42.380-07:00I was thinking the exact same thing - he stutter-s...I was thinking the exact same thing - he stutter-stepped right over the base. Makes me think if Culbreth is paying attention (and doesn't give him the out just by sheer proximity to second), and Robinson goes straight in, maybe the game's not over after all. Wouldn't be the first time Starlin has screwed up a simple play on the field....and probably would be far from the dumbest play he's made.<br /><br />Doesn't affect the outcome of the play though - 6.05m dictates that the batter is out because of the interference, and Robinson is out because he's out of the baseline to interfere with the play. Drive home safely.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-90640899906861957312013-06-19T16:39:22.366-07:002013-06-19T16:39:22.366-07:00It may just be my bad eyes, but does it look to an...It may just be my bad eyes, but does it look to anyone else like Castro didn't touch the base?
