CINCINNATI -- One day after a controversial loss,?Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price wasnt backing down from his assertion the system cheated his team out of a victory while throwing a wrench into the wild-card race.I think Major League Baseball is going to have to take a hard look at these end-of-game situations, Price said on Friday afternoon. For it to end like that is a crime.The Reds were tied 3-3 with the St. Louis Cardinals in the bottom of the ninth inning on Thursday when Yadier Molina doubled to left field, scoring Matt Carpenter from first base with the winning run. But the ball actually bounced over the home run wall and off one behind it and then bounded back in the playing field.The correct call should have been a ground-rule double, sending Carpenter back to third base, but the umpires didnt see it and the noise in Busch Stadium prevented Price from hearing the phone ringing in the dugout -- a call from his video team. By the time they figured out what happened, the umpires had left the field. The game was declared over.We werent in the clubhouse sitting around in shorts looking whats in the kitchen to eat, Price said. We were still on the field. Were talking about 30 seconds after the play.My feeling now in retrospect is maybe he [third-base coach Chris Maloney] saw that the ball did go out of play and there was nothing to lose because if the runner was thrown out at the plate they could appeal it and its a ground-rule double. Maybe he saw something no one else did.Price has an advocate in Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who stressed its hard to see outfield plays from the sunken dugout at Busch Stadium while also agreeing it can be tough to hear the phone.The phone in Pittsburgh [for example] is kind of quiet, Maddon said. Its a buzz instead of a loud ring. We should have a blinker that comes on.Maddon often has criticized baseballs desire to speed games up, and he and Price agree that was part of the problem on Thursday. The Reds needed more than the allotted 10 seconds before the umpires left the field.The things that I read [on Friday], the manager wasnt out fast enough, Price said. He has to make an immediate call. The focus needs to be making sure the rule is adjusted to accommodate time to see the replay.Maddon simply added: I have no sympathy for the time element there at all.The outcome affected the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets more than the Reds as Cincinnati isnt in playoff contention. But the win by the Cardinals kept them closer to the two wild-card leaders.We want the game to end with a proper result, Price said. One that should be supported through replay. ... Whats the point of replay if you cant use it in every single circumstance? Harold Baines Jersey . At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. Austin Hays Jersey . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. https://www.cheaporioles.com/998i-steve-barber-jersey-orioles.html . Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status.

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round. Roberto Alomar Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Haseeb v PaceHaseeb Hameed got a reprieve in the first innings when Vijay grassed an edge at first slip. Umesh Yadavs delivery was on a fifth-stump and a three-quarters length, a spot where youre not sure whether to go forward or back, and thats where Haseeb was found wanting too. In the first innings, he tried to go back and, in the second innings, to an identical delivery from Shami (over 40.1) he tried to go forward, albeit to an older ball. On both occasions the ball found the outside edge. Indias seamers will doubtless target the same line and length more often in the series.Standing outside off for Ashwin, standing on leg stump for Jadeja Haseeb stood on a leg-stump line for Ravindra Jadeja and tried to play most of his deliveries off the back foot. Since the balls pitching within the stumps didnt turned appreciably throughout the match, the ones that stayed straight after pitching posed the bigger threat against Jadeja. To counter that, Haseeb preferred to play back as a default tactic. Against R Ashwin, however, he stayed on an off-stump line and went forward to most deliveries, which took lbw out of the equation by ensuring the impact was always outside off. It was a good tactic on this pitch in Rajkot.Cook sans the drive For a spinner, the best way to succeed on these pitches is to pitch the ball full and bring the batsman onto the front foot as often as possible. Indias spinners, brought up on these surfaces, have known the right length like the back of theeir hands and havent been afraid of bowling the full length.dddddddddddd Common sense would tell you that, if a batsman were to succeed against them, he must drive the ball well. But have a look at Cooks wagon wheel against spin and itll tell you how wrong our assumption is. He hardly ever drove the ball through the off-side, irrespective of which way the ball was turning after pitching. Bouncers In this Test, Indias seamers not only bowled the fastest balls but, also, their average speeds were higher than their English counterparts. Since Indias batsmen got hit a few times on the helmet, it was expected that their own seamers would return the favour too. While they did try a few bouncers to Alastair Cook, they didnt try it even once to Hameed. In fact, there was only one attempted bouncer to Hameed out of the 259 deliveries he received in the course of the match.Why have the field for the bad balls? Cook delayed Englands declaration to rule out an India win. Having lots of runs on the board allowed the captain to have an attacking field throughout, and thats where Cooks captaincy left a bit to be desired. For Zafar Ansari and Adil Rashid, Cook had a deep midwicket and a fielder at sweeper-cover on the fence while Pujara and Vijay were batting. Why have so many runs on the board if youre reluctant to put more fielders in catching positions? ' ' '
