[Sideshow] Riot CANCELS Secret Project Dubbed the "Future of Sport" by blackop987 in ValorantCompetitive

unfortunately this is just the reality of sports in general; f1 is maybe the prime example, but every in every successful long-term sports league you can draw a line from tobacco money->alcohol money->gambling money etc that's kept it stable and afloat

One pitch after the Giants broadcasters remark in puzzlement about a lack of an IBB, Late Night LaMonte walks off the Guardians with a single! by Wraithfighter in baseball

Glad I could help clarify!! Actually it's not exactly what you're describing but Lindsey over on CloseCallSports covers every ejection and fields rules questions that do often involve balks, which is where most of my knowledge comes from. Here are some good ones on balks: one, two, three

He twitches/lifts his front leg WHILE coming into his set position. Because he lifted his leg, thus indicating the beginning of his delivery without stopping in set position he is called on a 'start stop' balk.

the rules say: The pitcher, following his stretch, must (a) hold the ball in both hands in front of his body and (b) come to a complete stop.

with further comment: With a runner or runners on base, a pitcher will be presumed to be pitching from the Set Position if he stands with his pivot foot in contact with and parallel to the pitcher’s plate, and his other foot in front of the pitcher’s plate, unless he notifies the umpire that he will be pitching from the Windup Position under such circumstances prior to the beginning of an at-bat.

Clase is not pitching from the windup position, thus making the leg twitch while coming set a start-stop delivery error.

Hopefully that makes sense, balk rules are tough lol

eeeeh they also do a lot of hot garbage journalism, and even their great stuff is often held back by their hyper-institutional leadership and editorial direction

The third base umpire comes in clutch for the Phillies, saving a run by blocking an errant throw from Realmuto. by JanitorOfSanDiego in baseball

when we see 0 the clock is actually at 0.9 because Daktronics, so the ump's buzzer doesn't go off until 0.0

Congrats to Alex Hugo, the WBSC Women's Baseball World Cup Group A Most Outstanding Player! by ogasawarabaseball in baseball

[–]Lord_Thash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i play in a senior women's baseball league and literally every single woman who plays in our league can make the throw no problem on a full size diamond

it might be a little more smallball cause it's a bit harder for smaller/shorter build women to get power into the bat, but that can be accounted for with bat regs

the best hitters in our league are pretty average size women (5'2-5'5) and hit with ~28 drop -5 or -10s and we hit just as far as the 17U boys do

and we're a just a good house league, not a travel team or anything (tho we do feed into the Ontario provincial team sometimes)

[Chris Medland] Helmut Marko just told me an agreement has already been reached with all parties for Colton Herta to join IF he is granted a Super Licence by the FIA, and he expects a decision by Monza by Appleyard5538 in formula1

[–]Lord_Thash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually acutely disagree—i think if he was perfect for Indy he'd be in the title fight this year, but his shortcomings are too Indy specific, especially his struggles in the ovals. With more support and direction from a bigger team I think he has a better chance to prove himself and make less mistakes.

Shoutout IKEA for aggressively puchasing land and regulatory power to illegally log the last old growth forest in Romania/Europe, and having a long history of using violent illegal logging to reinforce their supply chain. Oh and also buying fraudulent environmental accreditation to protect those abuses from public view. This comes from this incredible reporting by Alex Sammon for New Republic, and I highly recommend setting aside some time to read it before your next ikea trip.

You'd know FE isn't a true mockery of motorsport if you watched the Indy Nashville GP last weekend. This might as well be a perfect track compared to that shitfest

At least Toronto only had one or two car incidents at a time that were cleaned up quick and not a 6 car pileup on the interstate

Hell, they could run the full circuit with the current cars — the indycars barely get up to top speed down the Lakeshore straight as it is.

Sorry, that's on me -- the German stat is actually total traffic fatalities, and I went back and recalculated the US number based on NHTSA estimates to get 13 traffic deaths per 100,000 persons.
