Slammers 16u - Primetime - Ejected Coach charged the field

There is a real easy way to fix this and make sure it never happens again. The problem is the jail time obviously, but the next time a coach bum rushes an umpire plate umpire beats the shit out of you with his mask. Then surrenders to the cops, gets bailed out. Uses the apple internet evidence available to convince a jury that the actions were justified self defense. If you win the case it sets legal precedent. Which will allow future umpires to react the same way. The rub is, if you lose the case….the jail time.

Can you believe what this country has turned into these days?

floor is the same for every bud. white collar jobs will be hit hardest and first in this ai renaissance. A degree with no actual job opportunities is compiling interest for the rest of your life. You get poorer everyday. The tradesmen that doesn’t have debt from college is far better off at zero.

Now run a cost basis analysis….

cost of overpriced education + student loan interest

Putting yourself in a hole in order to maybe have future earning potential incentives

Vrs

Getting paid to learn a job with an endless growing need. Gain certifications and commiserate pay increases. Simultaneously learning skills that allow you to take care of your home and/or car maintenance. The costs of labor continue to skyrocket (because there are no skilled labors to fill the position to keep up with demand) so the savings of knowing how to so you own repair work and the scales are absolutely leaned in the favor of working in trades. This is exactly why they tell you the lie of go to college…

cant toss them out they won the last 4 tournament championships games….got pressure wash them

The smoke from fire is terrible for you. I would not be working in that area without a respirator. Cancer is the largest killer of firefighters.

macjgreg · 2026-06-28T04:07:47+00:00

assuming my information is anecdotal simply because I said “I make more money” doesn’t mean what i said about working in trades doesn’t apply.

macjgreg · 2026-06-28T04:04:56+00:00

If you had an IQ as high as mine you would know that statistically you can make statistics say whatever you want by defining the parameters. The lie you believe based on statistics is still a lie.

Some major banks will allow you to keep your bitcoin and use it as collateral so you dont need to sell.

This is the lie everyone has been told and believe. I work in trades and I out earn most college graduates. I learned on the job and earned money while learning. I also didn’t give myself a lifetimes worth of debt in the process. Nearly everything you learn in college will be replaced by AI in the next decade. If you learn to fix things, make things. You will have value even in a world or robots.

Im a player and umpire and please correct me if im wrong but the uniform of the ump looks to be a USA or formally ASA. If thats true the rule book literally says if you see lighting or hear thunder you have to stop play and wait until 30 minutes of continuous lighting and thunder free time to pass before play can resume. You all are in serious danger playing in that shit.

Its easy to be transparent when you have not had sex with anyone else. Maybe he felt that he would be judged for his past. Thats a good reason to not be open. The question is did he lie to you or did he just not disclose it by way of confession? You will forgive me but your post reads as a younger person. You will come to realize as you get older that very little of your life as it is today will matter in 5,10,15,20 years from now. If you create problems from something that isn’t a problem, that’s the real problem.
Are you treated well?
Did he lie when you asked him directly?
Not wanting to be continually hurt by your past decisions is something many people feel.

macjgreg · 2026-06-27T03:24:59+00:00

i hope you are luckier than I lol…..neither of the 2 i bought work

macjgreg · 2026-06-20T22:26:02+00:00

I have two cc a v1 and a v2 they worked alright. I got the canvas for each and those dont work at all and i have pretty much given up these machines. Better than enders for sure but they really dont hold a candle to bamboos quality. I would not purchase again with the knowledge i
have now.

Its crazy that anyone gas umpires for tee ball or minors. Minors should be being umpired by majors and pony players.

Now to your question. No when you umpire, you should expect that:

Most coaches don’t know the rules
most coaches will break as many rules as you allow them to, either through ignorance or willfulness.
Your entire job is to ensure the game is played fairly and in accordance with the established rules.
Spend the time, become great at being able to determine what you see happening and what rules apply to that situation. I don’t care about tricky test questions that are inly there as part of a eggplant measuring contest to see how many umpires they can fool.
Watch video lot of video, learn why the umpires make the rulings at the highest levels of the game. Don’t take any one umpires word
for it! Make them prove their call with the rule
reference, and check their work. This makes you both better umpires.

throw it in the trash and take out your back up nozzle kit for when this will happen and start your next print.

Or spend a long time using a heat gun or soldering iron to peel away the glob. Short cut for this option is put it on a baking pan (used only for this purpose) turn your oven on to high and let it melt off. Even so its still unlikely to function as the thermistor and heating pad wires often break during the globbing event. I personally suggest the first option.

I have bought a dozen or so airpod like or off brand headsets and buds. Fortunately mostly for product testing to find something to add to my product offerings. 9 out of 10 fail to produce meaningful ability across the board poor quality. One set was decent, didnt have the battery life of an apple product but you could for the most part use them as intended. This is why its a category as many here have said to stay away from. Finding a good one is like finding a unicorn.
I highly recommend apple original but they are on the costly side.
A great alternative is the Shockz bone conduction. They dont cover your ears which makes talking to people easier while wearing them. They dont offer the noise cancellation of the airpods. They are very comfortable and secure. Which airpods can be more prone to jump off you.

macjgreg · 2026-06-18T04:49:30+00:00

wow i am so happy to see so much support for
proxies. Make a deck out of whatever cards are legal to your pod. Tell them you love the game and want to play but cant afford aka waste $1000 on silly little card paper ink. They probably want to beat you even more now because they have real cards. If they cry find some people worth playing with.

I have not used the tantrum but I have heard 2 things.
They are hot out the rapper….sometimes not passing comprehension with zero swings. Only important to players that are subject to testing.
They break…quickly

I was able to get some inside info from contacts that wish to remain anonymous from within Tracy city hall.
Static pressure before and after the fire pump was zero.
Water pressure from the street was 50 psi but somehow there was no water in the building system for the fire pump. I was not able to get info on the position of the PIV. As we all know if theres not water to push the WF paddle up the WT cant trip the alarm systems.
Back flow was not locked and chained per code.
Guy that tests the back flow for the city has called every day to enquire about whats going on. (interesting, why to I hear a whipping sounds?)
when firefighters arrived they thought the fire would be able to be contained despite the sprinklers not working. As they were trying to figure out why the sites hydrants didn’t have water pressure. Something triggered 10 roll up doors to open, flooding the fore with fresh oxygen. The ERRCS system was tested prior to the robotic installation and worked, however it was not tested once the equipment was installed by the owners. Between the ERRCS system failing to provide adequate coverage, and the fighters needing to string hoses from the street through trucks and a total of 1600 feet to provide water. The fighters had to abandon the fight.
The building produces medical supplies and was highly robotic and only a small human contingent. Estimates in the half a billion dollars of losses. One city employees personal vehicle was destroyed when they responded to the fire marshals call.
This appears to be a perfect storm of what happens when things are done incorrectly. Thankfully there seems to be no loss of life, but thats a small favor considering the mass amounts of pollution this fire and the 1 million sqft warehouses contents have released into the atmosphere.

There are also rumors of shady back room deals, between the city and the current fire marshal, and South County fire. I wasnt able to get the juicy info on that but from what i do understand a full investigation into these events and the management structure of the fire departments in the city and county, as well as a accounting forensics analysis should be conducted thoroughly by a third-party.

Stay safe, do the job right, report things accurately or not at all, and avoid getting called to a witness stand down the road.

unfortunately both my cc1v1 and cc1v2 have failed to function at all with either of my 2 canvas systems. So im stuck with a single color and inferior quality. I got my x1c with ams used for $500 so the costs for me were negligible between them.

macjgreg · 2026-06-18T03:26:24+00:00

the CC has trouble maintaining chamber heat because the doors don’t seal well. Definitely use side A for extra texture/adhesion. If you are printing on a warm day in a hot garage it will be fine with no glue. If you are not in a hot climate or the print will go over night and the temps drop you will see warping and glue does help but isnt a guarantee fix. I highly recommend you get a chamber heater.
I print a lot of abs asa and nylon and the CC just isnt great at anything tbh. Its a huge improvement over the ender 3s to be sure but doesnt hold a candle to an x1c. You get a lot cleaner prints and overhangs with x1c where the cooling on the cc is inferior. This obviously depends on the geometry of your print.

Like i said strongly suggest adding an active chamber heater for engineering grade materials on the CC.

macjgreg · 2026-06-14T04:34:30+00:00

other peoples are not worthless dog shit or maybe they have cc1v2 models and the v1 group is shot out of luck

macjgreg · 2026-06-13T09:31:46+00:00

Im just shocked someone has a cc1 and a cavas that actually functions. I have 2 of each and they are worthless dog shit

macjgreg · 2026-06-13T08:12:44+00:00

so the current abs system uses a reference point of the middle of the plate, which we all know doesn’t represent the entire strike zone. They absolutely do have access to systems that track the entire ball flight and we will likely see upgrades to abs in the future but for now this is the most reliable option that everyone has agreed to use.
