My God, I hate the contact play.

[IdahoBert]

Do it Carp

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

walking Carp? with a runner on first? DOUBLE BOOOOOO

[Terrible1345]

You can’t write this stuff. Wow. 

[gehringer_2]

whatever happened to you don't go home on a ground ball to 3rd?

[GalagaGuy]

I am so sick of players running on contact when the ball is right to the third baseman.  

[holygoat]

So stupid running on that. So effing stupid.

[Dan Gilmore]

Bases loaded walk?

[IdahoBert]

It was a smart idea to walk carp

Meh it would have likely been the same result. Base loaded two outs

[IdahoBert]

Sigh… 

[papalawrence]

Ouch!

[chasfh]

Man, what a game. 

[Shinzaki]

Aaaarrrgh...

[roarintiger1]

They had a chance.........

[IdahoBert]

I think I may have actually given up and I’m not just joking about it. 

[lordstanley]

That Torres at bat felt like the series on the line one way or the other. That had to have been the Tigers’ chance.  

[Sports_Freak]

That's the ballgame.

[The Ronz]

I don't watch much baseball any more - just the Tigers.

Are the Tigers the only one that run the contact play?

I don't ever remember seeing another team even attempt it let alone have it a regular part of their "strategy."
