The new blocking of home plate rule needs to have more common sense when applied.
And the Yankees have hope for 2015, but they need to shut Masahiro Tanaka down NOW!

The umps are not there to make the rules but rather to enforce them. And while I was indeed rooting for the Giants, there was something kind of crappy about the game being tied on a play where the runner was out by a mile.
Then again, the plate blocking rule didn’t score the other 6 runs!
The Giants got a gift. But remember in 2011, they had a much different result for a slide at home with Buster Posey’s injury.
Maybe stars are aligning?
Time to update the Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.
A’S DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Jason Vargas dominated the A’s with a complete game 3 hit shutout giving the Royals a 3-0 win.
45 Dodged Bullets 37 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: +8
GIANTS DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
A technicality at home allowed the Giants to tie the score 1-1 in the 7th. The flood gates would open and Jake Peavy would get his first San Francisco win, 7-1 over the White Sox. DODGED BULLET
44 Dodged Bullets 41 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: +3
RED SOX DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Yoenis Cespedes left the game with a hand injury but Mike Napoli put the Red Sox in the win column thanks to his homer that beat Cincinnati, 5-4.

Let’s score some runs WITHOUT the benefit of a new rule, shall we?
