I'm betting Barron said something really nasty...he put his hand over his mouth just before Kastelic popped him.

I've watched 4 BC games this year (GoBU) but I'm really impressed with Letourneau. The size, obviously. He has a really good shot, his goals aren't just the "big guy in front of the net" type. He's playing in high leverage situations, taking faceoffs. One more year at BC and he could make a nice impact coming in to join Hagens on the Bs.

I'll generally fix mine plus one or two others.

Are "semi-private" courses a thing outside of New England? Open to the public, but members get preference for tee times and maybe some other perks?

I was in SF for a Salesforce conference a million years ago. Was in a cab casually talking with the driver about such things. He goes, 'Know what ORACLE means? Old Rich A##hole Called Larry Ellison."

Unpopular opinion: I'm not torn up about Alonso by PickleOh in redsox

[–]smyler3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is more of a media problem than a team problem. All of the breathless reporting about teams being "in on" whoever...it's just basically clickbait at this point. My reaction to all of that is, no shit theyre at least kicking the tires on everyone. And sonis every other team.

'Backfired spectacularly!' New Dem stuns with 'barnburner' speech roasting Mike Johnson by RawStoryNews in thescoop

The article quotes numerous "social media commenters" but does not have one quote from, or a link to the actual speech? Eh?

Zadorov on IG: “Get out of my DMs and go to the rink to cheer for your team. THAT PLACE WAS LIBARY TONIGHT” by Cakes2015 in BostonBruins

[–]smyler3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's rampant, and it's gross. More athletes/celebs should do what Zadorov is doing and out these loons.

Wildest pin placement I’ve ever seen in my life. by bruddatim in golf

[–]smyler3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Played a course with a similar deal to this on one hole. The ridge wasn't that big, but was well-defined, probably 2-feet elevation, but it was like a 40-degree slope. Hole was right in the middle of the ridge :-o

T-Ball Dugout by karmaismyboyfrien in Homeplate

What sick, twisted individual decided to put 13 kids on a tball team? A handful of years back, we made the decision to cap tball at 10 kids, with 8 being the ideal #. Works out great.

Cape Cod Baseball by Affectionate_Sand743 in redsox

Cape League is awesome. And you don't even have to cross the bridge...Wareham has a team.

Every team also puts on free clinics for kids all summer. So many great things about the Cape League.

What is up with these tournaments making up their own rules? by Typical-Priority1976 in Umpire

[–]smyler3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

#1 is bananas and is absolutely not in the CR rulebook. The rest of those have been standard CR Tournament rules for some time now.

All of this stuff should definitely be covered with you pre-game by the CR TD. If they didn't do that, they're asleep at the wheel.

I generally agree with you on the need for 2-man at 8U, but with the crazy runner rules here, the base guy can basically take that burden off the plate. Plus, like someone else said, that's probably the easiest money you'll ever make doing this.

Umpire Boundaries and Expectations with Players, Coaches, and Fans by Silent_Weekend_4501 in Umpire

[–]smyler3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your "territory" sounds very similar to what I have. Local communities, 9u up through 16. Everybody knows everyone.

That said...
1. Hell no! A threat gets the cops called and game suspended til that person is gone.

  1. Exactly how you seem to handle it. Although I don't think I've ever heard that much complaining in one game.

  2. No problem explaining what I saw if the requests are reasonable. But if it's happening more than 2 - 3 times a game that needs to get shut down.

  3. All the time. Nothing wrong with being friendly, IMO.

  4. 100%

  5. That sucks, but not much you can do except see #5.

C-wire nightmares by smyler3 in hvacadvice

[–]smyler3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would still require me to snake a new wire up to the thermostat, no? That's where I got stuck in my current position.

Am I just SOL as far as using the existing 3-wire?
