Question...

March 28, 2018 04:04PM
How do you compare a foul ball to a fumble?

Wouldn't a dropped fly ball comparison be more appropriate? Or maybe...a runner interfering on the base path....I'm lost at that analogy.

A foul happens every other pitch. A fumble in the end zone happens once every four weeks! A foul ...well...people yawn when it happens. But a turnover in the NFL is humongous...a game changer! Foul balls aren't game changers. These rules aren't even relevant to each other.

It's not even comparable. I'm sorry...I can't process the thinking. I don't get it.

A fumble is a screw up...and if it goes through the end zone, shame on the fumbler. How many times to you hear shame on the batter for hitting a foul ball? I guess if he missed a pitch he should have ripped...but...wow...color my clueless.

Why isn't a foul strike three? He didn't hit it in fair territory?

There is no comparison. Different game...different rules. The person fumbling has control of the situation...if they fumble it's there own fault. If a guy hit s foul, it may be a great thing...like spoiling a good pitch.

I'm sorry. that analogy is ...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...lolololol.

BigGame81252March 27, 2018 04:00PM

  losing 20 yards of field position

Rams_81284March 27, 2018 04:50PM

  I don't think those are good examples

NewMexicoRam233March 27, 2018 04:45PM

  they are excellent examples in that

Rams_81238March 27, 2018 04:50PM

  Unlike other rules...

jemach231March 27, 2018 05:58PM

  don't hit a foul ball

Rams_81225March 27, 2018 06:16PM

  Sorry, I like the rule

six2stack210March 27, 2018 07:57PM

  that's different though...an INT is different...

SunTzu_vs_Camus182March 28, 2018 02:02AM

  You nailed it

Rams_81175March 28, 2018 02:31AM

  Question...

bigjimram21371March 27, 2018 07:53PM

  Exactly

NewMexicoRam181March 28, 2018 02:39AM

  Re: Exactly

six2stack186March 28, 2018 09:22AM

  Well now, the pass interference penalty is a tough one

NewMexicoRam193March 28, 2018 03:22PM

  I agree completely

SunTzu_vs_Camus238March 28, 2018 02:09AM

  .....

jemach164March 28, 2018 04:10PM

  I don't get what yer not getting, Jem

SunTzu_vs_Camus166March 29, 2018 05:47AM

  Because I don't get it...

jemach169March 29, 2018 06:02AM

  I get it...but it's odd cuz it's a posession change...

SunTzu_vs_Camus167March 29, 2018 08:48AM

  The defense "forced " the fumble

NewMexicoRam180March 28, 2018 02:37AM

  but didn't recover!!!

SunTzu_vs_Camus183March 28, 2018 02:52AM

  all true except in the endzone

zn185March 28, 2018 07:24PM

  The end zone is a special place, isn't it?

NewMexicoRam237March 29, 2018 02:39AM

  just not equally...offensive holding in the EZ is a Safety -2pts

SunTzu_vs_Camus360March 29, 2018 05:45AM

  Re: The defense "forced " the fumble ...so automatic turnover???

Rampage2K-198March 28, 2018 12:26PM

  Not even close

six2stack304March 28, 2018 12:46PM

  Re: Not even close

Rampage2K-430March 28, 2018 01:16PM

  The NFL PI spot rule is much worse imo nm

six2stack167March 28, 2018 01:42PM

  agree

Blue and Gold164March 28, 2018 03:32PM

  Re: agree

21Dog182March 28, 2018 05:54PM

  Re: agree

Rampage2K-301March 28, 2018 06:28PM

  That's not the rule

Blue and Gold182March 28, 2018 08:37PM

  3rd and 50....

jemach170March 28, 2018 04:12PM

  Use you argument

Rams_81194March 29, 2018 12:13AM

  I could say this about fumbling out of hte endzone...

jemach172March 29, 2018 04:14AM

  Guys already hold all the time.

Drew2839190March 29, 2018 05:59AM

  A follow-up:

Drew2839164March 29, 2018 06:05AM

  I agree on that one

NewMexicoRam184March 29, 2018 01:38PM

  unless someone can tell me the intended purpose of the rule
