Ahh, you're right. 
 
Doesn't make any sense that it's not, though. 
 
 
Because in this case the pitcher had to step off the rubber.

Herrerra earns a crotch grab. That's some serious heat he's got there.

I don't get this Samsung ad. The parents don't even look at their kid when she scores to celebrate her goal, they're just focused on getting the pic to look good. Yeah, probably true to life but is that really the family you want to depict?

"Baltimore down to its last 3 outs."
 
The situation's pretty dire because if they get down 3-0 in a playoff series, they're fucked.  I mean, nobody's ever come back from that deficit have they?  Nobody's ever choked away that kind of series edge, have they?  That would destroy a franchise's reputation for decades if they did.

And there's no way they go the net and the kid in the same shot

I was lucky enough to be at game 1 of the world series last year and this kind of shit, "Let's take pathetically bad video or pictures of an event rather than actually experiencing and enjoying that event!" was rampant.  It was very sad.

This team is just en fuego right now.  If they hang on here, they have now won nine straight games including their last regular season game.  In only one of those games have they handily outscored their opponent (the Angels) whom they beat by five.  The rest of their wins are one to three run difference games.

Couldn't agree more. Hold your camera/phone up in front of your face so you have a crappy video of something you can watch endlessly in high def from a much better angle later. Enjoy the moment.

Blowing a 3-0 LCS lead is probably the worst thing you can do in sports.  Its absolutely horrific.  I can't recall if any team has ever choked so badly but maybe I am missing one.  I know this though - it probably taints everything that this loser of a team ever did before.

They remind me a lot of the 2007 Rockies. They had a few coin flip games in there, and once they finally lost they never won again.

Baltimore needs a run here very badly I would say.

What I think of when I see that ad is how do they handle the agony of despair of the girl that gives up the winning goal? Is that PC?

They don't do this in youth soccer - at least in the leagues with which I am familiar.  Today's Samsung toting parents wouldn't stand for such a thing.   The ad blows rancid goats.
 
The KC Royals, however, do not.  Beast.
