  1. I don’t believe a runner on a base is required to move. In this play, the runner left 2B then contacted the fielder while returning to the base.
  2. Go review the rules of baseball. It is the runner’s obligation to avoid contact with any fielder trying to make a play even if they are in the base path. He either had to run around him in a non-direct line, or get out. Those were his choices. Going straight to the bag and contacting the fielder is interference. People should learn interference and obstruction rules by 7U.
  3. Not shoulder checking the SS like it was a drunken Surly tailgate is one option.
  4. All of this, except my sons might benefit from the opportunity to get into MMP for $10. Fuck Jeff Bagwell. He is the Jack Easterby of the Astros and Crane is too dumb to see it. He manages a front office about as well as her performed in the playoffs. I was always and continue to be Team Biggio. If Dana Brown can evaluate talent, they should consider being sellers and move Bregman, JV, maybe Framber and Chas. Extend Tucker and rebuild around him and Yordan. Cut Jose Abreu immediately.
  5. Nico had two disappointing seasons then one good season, after getting CJ and with most of his stats coming after Tank went down. Waddle plays with Tua and is the second option behind Tyreek and put up 3 good seasons. I wouldn’t use Nico’s great second half of 2023 to say paying him $24m/yr is a much better deal than paying Waddle $28/yr. I’m still skeptical about Nico (or any player handed a big contract after a statistical outlier performance during a contract year (yes, I know Nico had a 4th year on his rookie deal)) that they may get content with their bag and not play up to their maximum. At least he’s young enough to still be motivated to play for his next bag in 2028, hopefully.
  6. Shoot the moon, baby. Half of PHX’s first round picks through 2030 belong to Brooklyn, and the other half have pick swap options on them to Brooklyn or Washington. The cupboard would be ultra bare when KD leaves, Lebron retires, and the Bronny experience is long over.
  7. Maybe Lebron thinks he can manipulate some sign and trade to Phoenix? I assume he doesn’t want to (1) play with his son and (2) win enough to opt out of his player option and sign with PHX for the vet minimum (which is the easiest way for him to play with Bronny). Trying to make some stupid super team is pretty on brand for him, and KD.
  8. So Bronny only works out for Lakers and Suns but Rich Paul says they are open to anyone? Then today he says they will not accept a two way contract that is pretty standard for second round picks. Basically if you aren’t the Lakers or Suns, you have to take him in the first round….or let’s finagle this so the Lakers or Suns can wait and take him late in the second round.
  9. It’s been a good offseason, but I wouldn’t give him an A+ after needlessly extending Joe Mixon and cutting years off Diggs’s contract. Time will tell if either or both moves to “make them happy” translates to above expected performance on the field. I think Diggs was a behavior risk before and after the contract change. And if it was about putting Diggs on a one year “prove it” deal, that is literally what we had with Mixon and now I’d put money on him mailing it in after getting the last decent size bag of his career.
  10. Good chance the baby was conceived in his conversion minivan. Awesome that the greatness of the Raiders will continue for another generation!
  11. “The second man to die, who was 77, suffered "rapid-onset confusion and aggression," the researchers said, and died within a month despite treatment.” These symptoms describe me in the 3rd quarters of many 2022 Texas football games.
  12. Thanks to TexZilla588 for leading our celebrations of SuperSizeMe being one of the greatest documentaries of all time and acknowledging that we are all worse off without Morgan Spurlock.
  13. I just really hate sand and nerd group think that ROTJ is somehow a much worse movie than ANH.
  14. Y’all dorks from the 70’s love to shit on ROTJ for the Ewoks’ 5 minutes of screen time in what might the most emotional and character evolving movie of the franchise. It brings conclusion to Vader and Palpatine, and the nerds forget it also gave you Slave Leia, whose action figure you used to beat it to every day after you got off the school bus. ESB and ROTJ are 1a and 1b to me. In my stupid opinion, ANH is only loved and important because it was first, not because it was a better movie than the others. I actually rewatch Episodes 1, 3, and 7 far more than ANH, where Luke is a whiney sand boy, the first half of the movie drags on, and gave us a Obi Wan-Vader duel that is epically retarded in hindsight.
  15. So Cardale won’t even have to pretend to “play school” anymore?
  16. Like a turkey, aggy always gets roasted, fried, or smoked every Thanksgiving
  17. Extreme weather is fun to talk about, but Green Bay cold isn’t (near as likely) going to harm a player or fan the way 110F heat index games. The late August through late September games in the South should be played at night IMO.
  18. 7U team finished season off 16-0 with +191 run diff. The Space Cowboys let them go on the field Sunday before the game, and they got to hang with Chas McCormick, Hensley, Leon, et al. for 10 minutes and get their gear signed. Jose Urquidy was the starting pitcher. Urquidy appeared to neither speak English nor pitch baseballs well. Unforgettable experience for the boys.
  19. I like Goff and agree with Detroit on resigning him. I asked who they thought they were bidding against and if they could’ve got the deal done for closer to the $45/year that Cousins just got, or $33/year that Baker Mayfield just signed (yes, Goff > Baker). They probably spent an extra $10/year that they could’ve used elsewhere at OL, DL, DB. They just spent a lot on WR.
  20. Was another team about to swoop in and offer him $50m x 4 years? Who would…Raiders? Giants, Steelers, or Dolphins a year from now if they ditch their current guys? Seems like the Lions were bidding against themselves and now will be house poor trying to remain competitive.
  21. You can play the entire second string. It’s about the plays that get called. Are they cohesive and aggressive and represent plays that any of the backups, not just the QB, may be faced with when it’s their turn to play with the 1’s? Or is it just pointless dive plays to kill clock?
  22. A key to “meaningful snaps” has always been letting QB2 run the full playbook and try to score. Running draws and off tackle to RB3 doesn’t get your QB2 ready to step in when needed. Mack was the softest, but most of our coaches have been too “classy” to do it much. Screw the other team’s coach if it’s our backup O still putting up points.
