Tulowitzki's Cycle: You Make The Call

Troy Tulowitzki is just the second player in baseball history to both turn an unassisted triple play and hit for the cycle in a career (and if you knew before last night that the first was John Valentin, we'd like to know if you're available for quiz night at our local pub). The Rockies shortstop added the hitting element Monday against the Cubs, but frankly, it came on a scoring decision that we imagine left ice-dancing judges blushing at its audacity.

Needing a triple, Tulowitzki arrived at third base only after the ball he hit down the line had been bobbled in left and misplayed on the relay. Watch the video and vote on how it should have been scored, thus satisfying your childhood desire to become an official scorer.

Man I gave up too early on Tulo in fantasy. I had him on every one of my teams but it looked like he was going to have a bad season...glad he turned it around. He'll be an all-star for years to come.

What a joke of a triple, possibly 2 errors, the bobble and the throw, yet the hometown scorekeepers just give it to him.

    MNF: Titans vs. Texans!
    • David (Michigan)In check? He's got 150 yards on the ground with over 5 yards a carry. He's in check only in the sense that the Texans have kept the passing game in check
    • Todd (Louisville)i was just thinking that all this game needed was a good, long replay to keep the rhythm going
    • Matthew (Tempe)That replay official wont be working the superbowl.
    • dessy (cali)hmmm tough call
