Not saying that it's a perfect solution. There's got to be human input, but his insistence on being stubbornly wrong coupled with the ability to throw out any willing to question his judgement is unacceptable. It doesn't have to be either/or. His ego clouds his ability to call the game.

He is the best argument for taking the human element out of calling balls and strikes.

Dammit. Goalied again

Is this in the gif catalog if so what was the search query? I've looked several times for it. I think you have to be at least 45 to know about The Wide World of Sports.

Happened so damn fast replies are merged

Whoa. Holy shit

There are some that are iron based. I haven't used them. But, I can see that if they do make it out of field trials they could be really popular with the chemically reluctant. Few alternatives exist to using the chemical herbicide 2,4-D and its allies to reduce broadleaf weeds in turfgrass or glyphosphate in landscapes. Currently, there are approximately five iron-based commercial products registered by the EPA's Biopesticide Division and labeled for broadleaf weed control. Demand will likely result in additional iron-based herbicides being brought onto the market. These selective, broadleaf herbicides contain the active ingredient chelated iron. Fundamentally, these iron (Fe) products are similar to liquid products that treat micronutrient deficiencies in plants and are considered mineral based materials. ---- Testing needs to be conducted on warm season grasses such as Bermuda and zoysia. https://extension.umd.edu/resource/iron-based-herbicides

The standard broadleaf spray is a three chem combination. It is sometimes spiked with other things. But, the base triple action/three-way/strike3/Trimec/weed-b-gon is the same. It's exactly the same product that I use commercially. The exceptions being the concentration and volume. If you can get used to reading the fine print on the label of the active ingredients and giving the brand name a passing glance you will be better off. The same three, 2,4-D, dicamba, and mecoprop, appear nearly universally in broadleaf sprays. I am seeing triclopyr in the retail side more these days. There is one called Speed zone that has an extra kicker called carfentrazone. It's not ok for StA. It can be used on bermudagrass and zoysia. There are others though. They are more expensive. However, I can use them for a wider range of targets. How Celsius Herbicide Works Celsius postemergent herbicide contains three active ingredients. Dicamba penetrates the weed and translocates throughout its system, immediately stopping growth. Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium is a selective chemical and most effective on young weeds. Thiencarbazone-methyl is the third ingredient and inhibits photosynthesis. Without this process, the weed cannot survive and dies within a few weeks. Once applied, Celsius stops weed growth in a few hours and total weed death in a week or so.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is toxic to non-target plants. Non-target plants may be adversely affected if the product is allowed to drift from the areas of application. Avoid spray drift from treated area. Do not apply when conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Do not drain or rinse equipment near desirable vegetation. Refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information. This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having “high potential for reaching surface water via runoff,” according to the chemical’s “mean” soil partition coefficient (Kd) for several days after application. A level well- maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this herbicide from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Some of the chemicals in this product have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. These chemicals may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable...

I'd love to tell you that it works but nobody has been able to get Nick Christians' results. Research at Oregon State University showed that corn gluten meal did not prevent weed seed germination. Here is an excerpt from the study’s findings: “Corn gluten meal did not control any weeds in any trials under any circumstances over a two-year period. They found no evidence of pre- or post-emergence weed control in any of their trials. Because it contains 10 percent nitrogen, corn gluten meal proved to be a very effective fertilizer, causing lush, dense growth of turfgrass and of weeds in shrub beds.” https://depts.washington.edu/hortlib/pal/on-corn-gluten-based-weed-killers/#:~:text=“Corn gluten meal did not,in any of their trials.

It's like y'all have never been in IPIHIB.

They would appreciate it if you stopped reminding everyone of that.

Man what a shot

Ok I didn't see it and it will probably be lost in the TDV discussion. Aww that's fake. No. It's real

Mmmm clinched

I wonder how they decide it. Jerry rarely opens it up either.
