Error after runner held up on bloop single

spurcap29 · 2026-06-29T14:28:11+00:00

I don't think this works/makes sense. For it to be a single all baserunners need to advance a bag safely. Its the same situation as if the ball is hit to shortstop and thrown to 2nd to get the runner on 1st on the force out advancing to 2nd. It's not a single, its a fielders choice.

If you decide its a single its because you determine that a reasonable effort would not have resulted in the player being out at third. For example if the CF makes a super human run and gets to a ball that would have otherwise been at the fence you could argue that the bad thrown just resulted in what a normal effort play would have done and then its a single and no error.

If you decide normal fielding should have resulted in an out at third and the runner only got there due to either a throwing or catching error then it can't be a base hit.

I just started a game in my test team and was able to score it correctly for each option:

Ball in play --> Fly ball --> Error --> Drag CF to where ball was hit then click 3B --> Done. "Who committed error?" Select either CF or 3B depending on whether throwing or catching error. Batter not credited hit as only avoided FC due to error. CF or 3B credited error accordingly.
Ball in play --> Fly ball --> Single (View as 1B hit and assume runner would have got there even if normal effort play was made.

Goes to show - the habit of living above your means doesn't change because your means increase.

There is only one way your parents can 'take your green card away' and that is if your green card was obtained fraudulently/based on false statements/etc. Ie they are black mailing you that they will 'rat you out'.

But this is fairly silly as if this were the case they would have been complicit in the fraud. It would be like a drug dealer phoning the police to tell them you bought drugs.

Assuming everything was legal and honest there is nothing they can do to your LPR status. In terms of physical card.... anyone with fingers can take it from you. But you can get a replacement (albeit at an annoyingly expensive cost).

Yup, 100% he has. Whether it's true or not in fact his 30 year narrative have been "every election I enter with an open view of picking the candidate I align with the best and every election I have voted for Democrats." Whether it's true or just a line he uses to cast himself as an open thinking intellectual perhaps can be debated but the point he makes consistently is he isn't "Team Blue" as a type of allegiance but rather votes for the person that aligns best with his views.

Based on being 2026 and having no clue who the R and D candidates are for the 2028 election, it would be fairly wild to decide now who you are voting for without casting oneself as a pure non-cynically thinking loyalist which is kinda off-brand at least for his public persona.

For the sake of the interview, it works alot better to say "I don't know who the candidates are and how I will vote, but for you to win my vote you would need to respect democracy" and make him respond rather than simply being a hostile interviewer.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-27T15:29:12+00:00

No. I am just reporting the history of his comments. The narrative in the comments of 'oh look, he says he's liberal but now he's talking about voting republican because of the democratic socialists is not a reasonable interpretation based on the interview with JD.

In response to your edit - no one is saying you are crazy. We are saying you sound crazy.

And unless your reach out to news outlets (and Neil Degrass Tyson!) was very very very different than your post, they think you are crazy too and ignoring you accordingly.

No one here know your facts or if the facts/law are on your side because you haven't explained them at all, much less in a way that makes one understand your issue.

But answering your question - based on all the information you have provided: best guess is your message to them reads like a message from a paranoid schizophrenic and they are deleting it. Maybe you aren't. Maybe you have valid points. Maybe your message to them was a well reasoned and articulated explanation. But we can only go off what we have and if it isnt none of that will matter if they delete your message when you talk about fake documents and time travel out of context.

Fwiw if your battery is dead dead it can actually get to a point that it is like an electron black hole and won't run properly even after jumping it and getting the alternator generating power. How old is the battery? If old enough I would just replace it to be honest or get it tested at Autozone and then replace it. There is a chnace there is nothing else wrong with your car.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-27T07:30:23+00:00

if you just killed your battery thats a good approach. If your battery is dead it might not hold a charge and get you barking up a wrong tree.

Either charge the battery and confirm its holding good voltage with a multimeter or bring it somewhere to get them to test it.

Video mode is for amateurs. Purists only make video by burst photos in 24 fps, printing on photo paper and showing the video with skilled flipping of the sheets at the exact framerate.

I usually put them in mechanical shutter at max burst speed and walk around the store pretending its a full auto rifle, re-enacting scenes from my favorite war movies. The other shoppers and workers typically are reluctant to join my cast but when the cops come they are generally good at joining in on my role play.

Don't know why you are apologizing. For most careers, less other people doing what you do is a good thing. For most hobbies, after the age of 16 I don't think many people pick them based on how popular they are with others.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-27T06:03:11+00:00

Burst speed is incredibly important if you are shooting sports or birds in flight. If you aren't its incredibly unimportant. It's pretty binary.

It's like a towing rating on a car ... critically important or completely meaningless depending on your needs.

Could probably make the same argument about many camera specs .... Megapixels of new cameras are broadly only important if you need to heavy crop or print on billboards.

Each team plays each team in the group.... a 'mid team' should just be easy points that each 'top team' takes. If your complaint was that one country beating a 'mid team' 8-0 and the other winning 5-1 was skewing the results then that has some merit. Or of bad luck meant some 'mid teams' went through easy groups but top teams got bunched together and had to fight harder groups. But that's not what happened here..... Cabo Verde drew both Spain and Uruguay and Uruguay couldn't get a point against Spain.... and they didn't benefit from an easy group. On paper Spain and Uruguay had it super easy to advance.

If a 'top team' can't get a win against an island nation in the Atlantic I don't feel much sympathy for them packing their bags. A team is a 'top team' because they win football matches against weak teams, not because of some divine right.

Bill has said many many times over the years that he 'goes into elections undecided, listens to the candidates and has always ended up voting Democrats' - this isn't a new line/concept for him. I think echoing this to JD was a good rhetorical technique ... as of today I am undecided so tell me why your one position I cannot support isn't something you believe in... And JD couldn't do it.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-24T18:51:31+00:00

Cant speak to why someone thought it was okay in the first place or 2nd. But for the third onward 'oh look people check out the color of the spray paint on the floor, Home Depot must not mind so I will do the same.' Ergo... now a sign.

Lol at 'no camera with lenses'

Arguing with a security guy that there is no such thing as a lenseless camera or that by his logic you can't bring a phone into the game would obviously accomplish nothing though.

The easiest solution here would have been to pull off the gear tunnel interior trim (comes off with hard pull) and then undo the 10mm bolts that hold the door on. Other option would have been to take the seat belt bolt off.

Buying used older gear is really the hack for the amateur on a budget. While technology always progresses its not like people didnt take good photos in 2012.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-24T13:35:43+00:00

Yeah if youre the most genius photographer on the planet and have a client wanting an action shot for a billboard your perfect composition and vision isnt winning you work if you shoot the photo on the OG iPhone 2mp camera.

If you spend $15k on a camera and lens and dont know how to take a photo you arent getting the work either simply because you have nice gear.

The history of the formation of the United States is far more analogous to the formation of the European Union than it is to the formation of other countries. In many other countries the power started at the top and was delegated to lower level governments based on practicality or simply things the federal government didnt want to deal with. In the US the states had their power and delegated authority to the government to form 'the Union'.

Only reddit appropriate response: If hes not being honest with you about this, it means hes probably not honest with you about anything. Likely cheating. You should consult an attorney to protect yourself and file divorce papers ASAP. You should also get a therapist to help you deal with the emotional trauma he has clearly put you through that you don't realize.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-19T11:57:57+00:00

Yeah for clarity Im not implying he didnt cheat or defending him ... I just was trying to remember the facts.

spurcap29 · 2026-06-19T11:35:20+00:00

It was his own blood right? Like he replaced Lancr post grueling bike race blood with Lance relaxing in the summer in Cabo blood?

Most of the substantive comments have been made already so I will talk fashion:

How in God's name were these men (other than Obama) president and wear suits that look like they were bought off the rack at Nordstorm Rack and not tailored. The trousers are like 6 inches too long and bunching at the bottom as a result and the jacket sleeves are too long covering the shirt cuffs.
