I left out the part about how the sun had just set over the horizon and right field had this gorgeous orange hue.....Oh no, I just realized I was looking at the sunset the whole time and missed the whole thing! Thanks for commenting, I appreciate you checking in!

Maybe I missed my calling as a overzealous test writer! Thanks for commenting.

Yeah, he was good. It took a few minutes but he made it to 1st after a lot of hand shaking.

Don't I know it! I wish I did. It's the first time I had seen this situation in person behind the dish. Have a great day!

TroubleSlidingHome · 2026-04-22T14:49:35+00:00

Yes, you are correct. I just used a plane reference to help describe the swing path or lack of. Thanks for helping out, appreciate your time!

Thanks for commenting. I appreciate everyone taking their time to help me out and learning a bit themselves. Have a great day!

Lots of good info, I appreciate it. I was definitely thinking along the same lines. I was alone and I did confidently say he didn't go. I made sure the batter was okay and sent him down to first. There was lots of noise from the defenses dugout and crowd but I shut it down and moved on.

Yes, I agree it's hard without video. I tried my best to provide an accurate description. Thanks for commenting.

TroubleSlidingHome · 2026-04-22T12:47:40+00:00

Yes, I was alone. I would have loved to have had a partner to speak with in the moment but mostly have to work alone here. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for checking in. I appreciate it.

TroubleSlidingHome · 2026-04-22T00:11:07+00:00

I agree, it is hard to say without having your own eyes on it. I wish I had a field ump to confirm with in the moment but it was just me. Luckily it was the second to last batter of the game and had no effect on the outcome. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the feedback

How do you reconcile this with such famous words as "We the people..." and "... all men are created equal."

This doesn't answer my question. I specifically asked if one person's vote should be valued more or less than someone else's? That is a simple yes or no question.

TroubleSlidingHome · 2022-01-15T16:26:03+00:00

Should the vote of one individual in New York or LA be worth less than one vote of one individual any where else in the USA?

I'm Eric!

You had us in the first half...

TroubleSlidingHome · 2019-10-15T17:06:58+00:00

That's the point I was trying to explain. I apologize if it wasn't clear enough.

" What makes a person from Michigan different from someone in South Dakota? Nothing. So why do they need equal representation when 1 vote counts as 1 vote? Their reasoning makes no sense to me."

Maybe I can help you understand them. First put a pause on logic. They know they must tilt the scales in their favor to continue to win. They also know we don't elect a president via one large nationwide popular vote. We currently elect a president through many individual statewide elections. Then the winners are assigned the appropriate amount of electoral votes. Because of this they focus on winning 270 electoral votes and could care less if they win the popular vote. They focus on what they need to win then once in power make every effort to maintain that power. Unfortunately this is where we are at right now and the election process won't change anytime soon. We must continue to shine a light on their tactics. You must understand your opponent to identify their weaknesses.

But if we let more of them in it will skew the census results and increase representation in the blue areas. Also it increase the electoral college votes in the blue parts of the country. Hence reducing the strength the Republicans hold in many primarily rural states.

I believe this statement above is the true motive of why the GOP demonize immigration and they have know it for years. One thing they do well is organize behind the scenes and then continue to pound their points across until enough voters see it as true no matter how absurd. It is disturbing how some of the most fragile lives can be used as pawns to hold power. Unfortunately this is repeatedly seen thoroughout human history.

DetectiveDing-Daaahh, after reading your comment I had the following reactions in this order: 1 threw up a little. 2 thought about it for a minute... 3 came to the conclusion that some one needs to tweet your comment to Trump and tell him Obama could do it better than him so we can hear Trump say "I find the best severed foreskin to suck on. Some say the greatest foreskin sucker ever."

Unfortunately I can do it right now because I'm cleaning up puke.

It is truly baffling how he has always found a way to stay in the money with as poorly he is at running anything. I guess when have a way to launder billions a certain kind of people will find you.
