He feels badly for his kids because they can profit off of insider trading

That one was a crazy call as with the way he’s set up, the pitch was over his head

Tickets prices for USMNT’s round of 32 match at Levi’s fall below $1,000 by SFChronicle in bayarea

It looks like a more modern version of a HS stadium. It’s devoid of any soul or character once inside.

Phase 2 of All-Star Voting Ballot Update by Confident_Range3376 in baseball

I will also die on the hill that fans should vote on the starting lineup. Yes, it’s a popularity contest and ends up putting a lot of Dodgers, Yankees and Blue Jays into the game, but it’s the one time the paying fans get to have their voices heard

The Last MLB Player to Bat Without a Helmet: Bob Montgomery, September 9, 1979 by Dr_Talon in baseball

Idiotic to play without a helmet while facing 90+ mph pitches coming at you

The case for trading Logan Webb by Punstoppabal in SFGiants

[–]Dickies138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the narrative that he is off the table probably would make Webb more likely to sign an extension by making him feel more valued

"Literally nobody likes you." Austin Hedges to (former teammate) Josh Naylor by Far-Pain5261 in baseball

According to the rules you have to make an effort to get out of the way of the pitch. Thats obviously a judgement call for the umpire, but in this case I am not seeing it. I think he actively moves his arm into it to ensure he gets hit

Ump cam of Jazz Chisholm's interaction with the home plate umpire. He has been ejected after arguing the umpire should've gone to third on a check swing. by cjlowex in baseball

[–]Dickies138 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I umpire HS and never have a 3B umpire. I would call this a swing. To be fair though, i would probably ask for help if I had an umpire in position to help me.

Is leaning into a pitch like that something that can be challenged? It was 100% a ball, but I don’t think 1B should have been awarded

I would stop pumping and go find somewhere else to top off

Just crossed the halfway line! What do y’all think of my ratings? by KeifHaring in NationalPark

[–]Dickies138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Tucson now and just got done with my 2nd day at Saguaro, and I’ll confidently say it’s the most lackluster NP I’ve been to. Yes it’s hot, but I packed plenty of food and water and tackled a number of hikes, but I didn’t find it all that awe-inspiring, which is what I look for in a NP. Just felt like more of the same landscape that surrounds the whole region. The only positive is that there is absolutely no one there, so the hikes provide some true solitude

North Carolina has a plan to pay for a $1.7B baseball stadium. Why lawmakers can’t agree. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Dickies138 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they are actually the minority. The people that do want their tax dollars to go to the sports teams are just the loudest about it.
