MLB Rule I Did Not Know

Well, I have been watching Major League Baseball all my life and heard of a rule that I have never heard before.

I was watching a Twins game a couple of nights ago and Bert Blyleven said that if a batted ball hits the pitcher's rubber and goes foul it is a foul ball. I have never heard of this rule ever.

Anybody ever hear of this rule?

really could be anything, a rock. if a player touches it in fair territory, it's fair. until it crosses the bases or touched it still has a chance to go foul.

Bert also said "If Oakas, and U**Y, took Sparkle to a Twins game and they kissed her on the strikes, she would then have to kiss them on the balls. No wonder she stays at your house.

U**Y....It's kind of late for you isn't it? I thought you and Sparkle would be all snug in bed. Are you and your twin brother still tag teaming Sparkle.

I can see Sparkle now....I love Notre Dame...U**Y.......I love the White Sox U**Y's twin brother. You 2 brothers are cute trying to get into her pants.

Give your girl a poke in the whiskers for me, U**Y.

ps......Don't bet baseball much. Had A's -1' tonight.

^ this

Like when you see a ball rolling down the line just fair, and they let it roll foul, its a foul ball. if it goes foul before crossing 1b/3b, and noone has touched it, its a foul ball.

MLB isn't hard. Try this:
Odd number of plays p/day (3)
Only play + odds (RL or dogs up to +150)
45%--47% will make $$$$$ if you stick to it.
If you see a good young pitcher at +150--+175 get on it..I hit Cleveland (Talbot) at +181, Romero from Toronto is another good one.
Give it a try for a week. You will Sparkle...

Why is it called a foul pole? If you hit it in the air, It's a Home Run

Had it happen in a highschool game. The ump knew the call right away. Its was crazy. It bounced back all the way to the catcher but his fat ass was still behind home plate.

Would prob never happen in a MLB game because there is not much of a hole next to the rubber.
