No one talking about Verlander being 0-5 in World Series competition with an era of almost 6.00?

Tim Kurkijan(?) said last night he is the 1st to lose 3 potential series clinching starts in one post season.

Choking Dog Astros (like in the Jetsons!)
The big picture is the Astros had a 2-1 lead and began to choke like the running dogs they are!
First, Verlander gives up two homers to lose the lead; Then Peacock makes a complete choking dog throw to first but is bailed out by the umps (whatever you think of the call, it bailed out a horrendous throw) Finally, Harris gives up the dinger to Rendon to put the game away. No way Houston wins tonight. They will find a way to lose, no matter what.

Venn diagram: people who loved Martinez's outburst last night and people who get almost that worked up when a guy watches his homerun too long.

Can we get the Acuna group tossed from the game, too?

By rule, he was clearly safe. I'm not sure why they couldn't figure that out.

Not sure where you get that. The rule says the runner is to stay on the foul side of the first base line for the last 30 feet. The only exception is to get out of the way of a fielder who is fielding a batted ball. He was clearly on the fair territory side of the line. I could see an umpire deciding not to apply that part of the rule, since the throw was coming from farther into the infield, but by the letter of the rule, he is out.

I don't think it's clear either way. He was probably correctly out, but... Here's the rule Quote:
The only exception is not to avoid a fielder fielding a ball in the running lane. He's also allowed to step out of the running lane (in the immediate vicinity of first base) to touch the base. Since he was close enough to first base to contact the first baseman, I think we can say he was in the immediate vicinity. He was probably allowed to be there, but, since he didn't *exit* the running lane then perhaps the rule doesn't apply. Anyway, this video is interesting - and informative. The running lane was put in foul territory when the first base bag was, partially, *in foul territory*. The bag was moved into fair territory, but the rule never changed which leads to an awkward situation at first base. The obvious solution is to make a safety base where the runner steps on the base in foul ground and the fielder touches the part in fair ground. |

He was never in the 3-foot running lane. He was to the left of the line the entire time. As Torre explained, if he is running in the lane, his angle as he approaches the bag is different.

This. Turner's bum is square in fair territory all the way and up to the bag. He does not enter fair territory for the sake of touching first base. He is in fair territory for 90 feet from home to first. Watch the video, people. Only Angel Hernandez is allowed to watch video and STILL blow the call.

To me the rule doesn't even apply because he was no longer on the "last half of the distance", his left foot is already touching first base when the ball gets there!

It's a mute point anyways. Joe Torre is saying that the runner was called out for interfering with the catch, not running out of the baseline (though, we shouldn't expect anything intelligent to come out of Torre's mouth).
Which makes it even more head scratching: the fielder, without question, clearly impeded the runner here. This was 100% fielder obstruction.
