    Counsell was about to lose his mind, but he trusted Jeffress, who got into trouble, but cleaned it up. 2-1 Brewers.

    I have been watching Manny Machado and reading about him. I have concluded he's a dick and have no interest in him in Chicago.

    He is an asshole.

    Dodgers takes games 4 in 13, even the series 2 - 2.

    Sounds like he'll end up with the NY Yankees then.

    Whine Kate Upton fires back at 'degrading' comments after posting about potential home run

    FOX Sports




    Kate Upton on Wednesday blasted commenters on Twitter for their "degrading" comments after she voiced her opinion about a fan-interference call during an Astros-Red Sox playoff game.

    In the first inning for the Houston Astros in Game 4, Jose Altuve was denied a two-run homer after fans reaching for the ball interfered with Mookie Betts attempt to make a leaping catch.

    “So if a player is IN the stands fans are suppose to move over?” Upton tweeted. “If those are the rules MLB shouldn’t let fans sit there. They didn’t reach over the fence. @MLB”

    After a barrage of replies in and hostile comments, Upton shot back at her critics. She called out people for addressing her as “princess”, “honey” or “terrible girl.”

    “Just because I have an opinion on the call doesn’t give you the right to be degrading & disrespectful because I’m a woman,” Upton tweeted.

    Upton's husband is Justin Verlander, a pitcher for the Houston Astros.

    Kate Upton is right, both on the call and the degrading comments. Joe West blew that one. I would not want to be Troy Caldwell (the fan in question) today.

    Dodgers won 5-2 to go up 3-2 over Brewers. Day off and back to Milwaukee.

    "When he jumped up to reach for the ball, the spectator reached out of the stands and hit him over the playing field and closed his glove," West said to a pool reporter following Game 4. "He hit the ball to right field. He jumped up to try to make a catch. The man interfered with him over the playing field. That's why it's called spectator interference."

    The play was reviewed by the umpires -- it was a crew chief review, not an Astros challenge -- and it was determined the call on the field "stands." Officially, that means MLB did not see enough evidence to overturn West's call.

    MLB rule 3.16 covers spectator interference. Here is the relevant text:

    In every case of spectator interference with a batted or thrown ball, the ball shall be declared dead and the baserunners can be placed where the umpire determines they would have been without the interference. When a spectator clearly prevents a fielder from catching a fly ball by reaching onto the field of play, the batter shall be ruled out. But no interference is called if a spectator comes in contact with a batted or thrown ball without reaching onto the field of play -- even if a fielder might have caught the ball had the spectator not been there.

    As noted, the replay crew in New York could not determine whether the fans in right field did actually reach into the field of play to interfere with Betts and prevent him from making the catch. Is that debatable? Absolutely. Given the evidence, it seems to me whatever was called on the field was going to stand, and in this case West called fan interference.

    "He just said that there was fan interference on the field, and my argument was more about the fact that the ball was leaving the yard, the trajectory was there," said Astros manager A.J. Hinch to Lauren Shehadi of TBS during an in-game interview. "Jose paid kind of the ultimate price for something out of his control. I'm not sure if Mookie makes that catch, he's a great athlete, but how it's an assumed out is unbelievable."

    His arm is over the wall. The "call stands" means they could definitively overturn West's mistake. It would have also stood if he called it a home run, which it was.

    Exactly, the fan's arm is over the wall, therefore, spectator interference
