Oh! He is the piece of crap from Tennessee, isn't he?!

Reebok Field Magistrates, size 11.5. Still have some life in them. $70 plus shipping.

what a dirt bag, with the way he treated the collegiate umpires, and now in MLB. didn't go any different than a month earlier against the reds with the same HP umpire ccs ejection number #104. and in 104 it was the Reds who came back from being well behind to win the game. and i believe a request went out to call the check swings more like the future replay check swing technology parameters being tested and used in MiLB.

1--marvin hudson in video review if the associated press is correct and not fake news added later and unless he jumps into an LCS or WS without working a WC or DS, Bill Miller will not have had any post season events for the last 2 years which has not happened since 2006 and 2007 and in which the string of 17 straight post season assignments was broken after 2024. and will A.M. join the more recent MLBU group with 6 WS since he has a DS right now and his last WS was in 2023 and will he be able to tie Al Barlick with 7 or even get more before retirement, or will they let the other CCs get a 2nd or 3rd WS. could Blaser get a WS this year and then a CC next year

How much pressure do you put in your baseballs? Too much air...

but i imagine from this old 2004 contract in which the categories have still pretty much stayed the same, just the amount of money has changed over time, they are still receiving that $23,000 bonus, as long as the playoffs are played, and maybe/probably more after 22 years and 5 contracts later, with an negotiated enhanced pension 22 years later now, and an enhanced severance since 2004. https://a.espncdn.com/mlb/news/2000/0905/725407.html

Some MLB umps, as we all have, occasionally kick a rule. My 2008 BRD notes the previous NFHS difference with OBR/NCAA where the B-R can’t overrun on a walk in FED but can in OBR/NCAA. The only comment in that Youtube video asks for a cite. No reply is given.

Yeah, I saw the thread from 2017 but it doesn't explain this video from an MLB umpire saying the exact opposite. If he's talking about FED then ok. Like you said, it was a FED rule way back when, but he doesn't reference any rule set in the video.

It is not currently an out. Maybe it used to be in OBR? (though 2011 OBR (oldest I have handy) reads the same as today with no distinction between batter-runner overrunning 1B on a hit vs a walk). Appears NFHS was an out until 2018 (which lends credence to it previously being an OBR out since I doubt they made that up of their own accord). See below a U-E thread on it.

Looking for Wilson Pro Platinum XL chest protector. Please send pictures, price, and measurement from neck to bottom. No cracks or broken rivet/strap connections.

Are they still available? Can we see some pictures of the platinum and size?

What size the black Wilson CP?

What size are you looking for?

Every rule I've read, going back several years in the MLB rulebook says a batter becomes a batter-runner on a walk and can over run 1st base as long as he immediately returns to 1st and no attempt is made to advance to 2nd. Then, I see this video of Ted Barrett from Baseball Rules Academy. I don't know how old it is and maybe the rule changed. If it did, when? Can someone explain this video?
