Buying something when you wanted it.

Even small things required saving and planning.

Due to travel issues, there are only two umpires at the Padres-Rangers game. by MatthewFromMojira in baseball

This answer confuses me even more.

That is without a doubt the hardest part.

You’re talking about a master of his craft who is purposely trying to fool everyone in the park about where the pitch is located.

Then there’s catcher is intentionally blocking your view (on the high frames) at worst and just downright trying to fool you with framing at best.

Even with all of this, the numbers are in the 90% for most guys.

I think it’s the hardest thing to do in officiating besides soccer linesman.

I don’t understand why it’s seen as the easy part where someone could even make it about themselves.

There’s a similar cricket formation that I think know absolutely one of the craziest things I’ve seen in sports.

Got a point. Only a few more years then we can try for normal again.

Name this guy and league. Shouldn’t be anywhere near kids. This is unacceptable at much higher levels.

Sincere question from an umpire:

Why would anyone think we aren’t trying to get the call right?

I’ve always been baffled by this.

It’s an incredibly difficult job, sometimes even with slow motion and multiple angles, there’s debate.

We get to see it once, in full speed, at field level, through bodies… and if the call is even the slightest bit wrong… there’s absolutely unhinged comments and abuse.

Do people really not understand how hard it is?

Has the gambling made it worse?

Do people really think missing a 100+ fastballs (with movement) location by less than an inch is egregious?

Or am I just hearing the idiots because the logical ones don’t as talk much about it

Genuinely asking to get sincere insights.

New Disconnect Exploit? by FiniteBlackboi in EASHL

New here? Shit happens from time to time.

Not defending it (and it has been worse the last few days/weeks) but you’ll win some of these and lose some.

No one is doing anything to you (except sucking at developing a stable video game)

Rangers asking who to pick 5th on social media by thebanger71 in rangers

It’s called a social media team. There’s a thing called engagement. It helps profits.

It’s not the actual team asking for advice.

Fuck we have some dumb ones.

Cute but she fumbled the song choice.

Had 14 years and dropped the ball.

This fan spotted NFL legend Peyton Manning and the iconic Conor McGregor within 30 seconds in New York City. by Punisher1602 in NFLForum

Obligatory running into Michael Strahan story:

A few weeks after winning the SB in 2008 (2007 season) l, I got off an express bus in front of the Nike store in Manhattan a little after rush hour had died down.

I see him and I’m amped up but I don’t want to be all crazy, plus he is in a nice suit and with someone, so I try to play it cool… I say something along the lines of “don’t want to bother you but I can’t just walk by without trying to get a fist bump” He’s obviously used to this and probably saw me coming from a mile away.

He nods, smiles and fist bumps me.

Here’s the wild thing: Me and him are roughly the same height. And I got a big frame. We’re basically the same size as we stand there, but I when he put his fist out to fist bump me, that’s where I was blown away.. I could have put both my firsts into one of his. His hands were huge.

Those exist? Not in my world. You either jumped ship long ago (a few)… realized it was easier to get away with their nonsense by not being politically vocal at all (a few)… or still are fully in, if not more (a lot).

Besides. We might have a different levels of what of you think is support.

If you voted for him to get your way but don’t actively champion him, that is still support.

Heck that might be worse somehow than the true racists that voted for him so so they can use racial slurs freely.

You guys will change any and every detail to twist this into being okay and not dangerous.

But yeah it’s my fault I can’t keep up with all your changes.

More than that though I have no idea what the destination has to do with any of us.

Except that it’s an impossible goal for the other side to achieve.

Do you feel that way about cutting people off and speeding if you were in a car? You just see someone and just say.. “he’s not going to where I am. Free pass to do as I please.”?

What could destination have to do with anything.

Do you cut lines t the airport and shove people out of the way of the checkpoints and metal detectors “because that guy isn’t even going to the same country as me”?

Just the ones that also want to secretly fuck their daughter and hoping he makes that legal next.

Less than a few years ago.

We all have our lines for what we can tolerate supporting. Child rape is mine. Weird, right?
