You might be right, but the advantage is always to the guy who is moving and Torres is pretty well-built. With amount of speed Torres has, he could put a lot of force on a hit. Probably too much risk for injury, though. I asked not because I thought Torres should have opted for that, but because I am not sure what the rule is on that kind of play. I know you can blow up a catcher, but can you blow up a non-catcher on a play at the plate?

Not in my experience. If you're ready for it, the bigger guy is going to win.

That's me crying.

ah!

Actually this Giants team makes me run the gamut of emotions. Like this crazy but hot chick that pisses you off and then is the best thing to happen to you.

This team should come with health warnings.

Has this been mentioned?

Pablo Sandoval extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a single in the 3rd inning. Since 2005, only Buster Posey, Randy Winn and Aaron Rowand have longer streaks for the Giants.

The problem was that he hesitated. He makes it if he would have trusted his instincts right away.

Question: Are you allowed to blow up the pitcher in that situation?

As much crying as the Giants have done (or are viewed as doing) if they blow anyone up this year, they will take some SERIOUS shit. That's why I say you have to slide in feet first, and if the tub o' goo is gonna flop on the plate, he will get a free appendectomy.

That's never happened to me.... I've only had the crazy hot chick who tries to kill you.

Panda had an extra base hit streak at 9? I think. It was getting some pub earlier in the game.

I don't know if Qualls would've been ready for it. It looked like he would've barely had time to turn around and might have gotten hit in the back or the side had Torres done a Scott Cousins.

Yeah, Sabean and Bochy removed the option for the legitimate blow up play (without looking like hypocrites).
