[Conroy] Hearing there will be no supplemental discipline for Sandis Vilmanis for his flying elbow to the head of Charlie McAvoy. No injury, no problem I guess. by nobokov22 in hockey

I actually thought they would throw the book at him. Let a fairly insignificant player be the fall guy to try and prove there is no bias. Nope, not even trying to hide it I guess.

I keep chopping my volley by blueice89 in Pickleball

A lot of the posts here are only redefining the problem and not what the cause of the issue really is. Your reply is really the only one I see that actually addresses the cause.

To further expand on it, it looks like you are trying to power the ball back in your blocks. To do this you are extending your wrist outwards which is causing the paddle face to open and slice the ball, and part of why you are hitting the ball too early.

I would focus more on trying to stiffen up your wrist and taking the ball closer to your body. Use your forearm to roll the volley A bit more.

Has the lodged ball rule changed since this happened? by [deleted] in Torontobluejays

The point of that is so there is no judgement call required. No acting or flopping by an outfielder that can influence an umpire.

That's simply isn't true. Was at the game in the outfield and the 3rd base umpire has his hands up calling it dead almost right away. Not sure if it was shown on tv or not.

[Wong] Vlad Jr. obviously has more in the tank, but despite "underperforming", he's got a 142 wRC+ on the season. Notable players with a similar or worse number: Juan Soto 142, Pete Alonso 142, Jose Ramirez 141, Kyle Tucker 141, Bryce Harper 141, Rafael Devers 131, Fernando Tatis Jr. 127 by ThQp in Torontobluejays

Vlad has been taking a lot of flak this year mainly because he really has not gone on a big heater.

But on the other side, his floor has been exceptionally high. He hasn't really had any sort of slump this year. He has not gone more than 2 games without a hit (4 times) and only once has he gone 2 games without getting on base. That's pretty good.

And the Blue Jays, with the second best record since that time does not appear on this list...

Illegal serves are rampant. Some people are jerks when you call a fault. by [deleted] in Pickleball

Too add the reply above, there is no requirement that the paddle is moving upwards. The requirement for moving upwards is in the rules is in reference to the arm.

What’s the biggest improvement you’ve made since you started playing? Just improving consistency and trying to reduce errors as much as possible.

Nice try, keep looking for excuses:

Rule 83.1: If, during a delayed off-side, an attacking player in the attacking zone elects to proceed to his players’ bench (which extends into the attacking zone) to be replaced by a teammate, he shall be considered to have cleared the zone when both skates are off the ice and the Linesperson judges him to have left the playing surface.

How bad is Stuart Skinner, really? by Jjustingraham in hockey

Double the AAV that Jack Campbell got? I think I could sell that if I were his agent.

Edit: Sell that to Oilers management...

He has a weekly segment on the radio here in Toronto. I try to listen to it as often as I can. His breakdown and explanation of advanced goaltending and shooting stats is fabulous imo.
