[ laughter ] and its a new rule and its very controversial. It is. Im going to show you why. This guy was out. Buster poseys career was nearly ruined during a collision at home plate. Now, as a result, a new rule is established to protect the catcher. That rule figured prominently in todays giantswhite sox game. Would the winless streak end for jake peavey . Top of the fourth, 87 miles an hour coming in. 187 miles an hour going out. Adam dunn deep into the cove. Peavey allows just one run in seven innings. The white sox lead 10 in the 7th. Joe panik ground ball to abreu who throws home to tyler flowers. He tags out blanco out by a mile. The new rule is that a catcher cannot block the plate without the baseball. Giants challenge, its overturned, Robin Ventura<\/a> got kicked out doing his best billy martin impersonation. And the floodgates would open from there angel pagan tworun base hit gave the giants the lead. They end up with the season high 7run inning beating the white sox 71. Jake peavey wins for the First Time Since<\/a> april 25. We needed to win today. You know, all my personal stuff, we know its been a tough year with the way things have gone catching those breaks hadnt caught not one feels like on my day. Definitely he was blocking the play. And the rule is if he is blocking the plate before he got the ball, its safe. I tell you what, this is what im talking about right here. This this rule is bs that is what it is pure, simple, bs the spirit of the rule of what they are trying to do and what its actually doing its a joke. So it goes either way. Its a tossup every time play at the home plate. Playing baseball we have made plays and the guy was out. They dont take into consideration the guy was out by a long shot. I obviously dont agree with it. Youre right, ken. Technically the rule is right. But still, i cant they got to amend that rule. The was time peavey won he was still pitching for the red sox lebron was a member of the miami heat, rory mcilroy only had two major titles not four and the other woman was the number one movie at the box office.
