  1. 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.
  2. Yes. Dead ball. Runner is out. Batter is awarded first and other runners return unless forced to advance.
  3. You know why, right? Because they are OBSstINaTe.
  4. attempt at directly playable video Illegla Pitch into a HBP MLB SFG Giants vs LAD Dodgers 2026.09.19.mov
  5. Always a good one to test one's rule knowledge https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/TUFYT2RfWGw0TUFRPT1fRHdSWVhWY05VRlFBQVZ0UkJ3QUhCMUpTQUFCVFVBTUFWd0FCQ0ZaWEF3QlNWQU5X.mp4
  6. Not being local to PA, I didn't know he was still around. Haven't thought of him in nearly 25 years.
  7. I'd speculate that, because he's ignorant, he'd argue there are [correction: AREN'T] enough qualified umps and the game play downside of 4 to 3 is minimal. We also need to remember to ask with all things: "what are they getting out of this?". Mark Madden is a former pro-wrestling guy so knows how to get heat. And if making it personal is needed, well that's fine with him since "personal issues draw money" (RIP Jerry Jarrett)
  8. That is what I use for that helmet. It took a little adjustment but has been fine - until yesterday when it once strangely fell off as I looked down. I'm going to play with it and see if I can recreate it. If so, I'm contemplating strategically adding a small piece of rubber to the back of the harness.
  9. His measured performance equals 💰💰💰 Crash Davis: You know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at-bats is fifty points, okay? There's six months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week, just one; A gork, a groundball—you get a groundball with eyes—you get a dying quail...just one more dying quail a week, and you're in Yankee Stadium.
  10. Very little in the video that I saw. Didn't see the thumb nor anyone getting animated (your Cardinals had some interesting stuff that Lindsay will definitely be covering though) Serendipity thank you: turns out I know the PU - and wasn't aware she was calling these games!
  11. Maybe but keep doing what you're doing. Getting stronger / maintaining strength goes a long way towards delaying a replacement as long as possible. If it's meniscus, from my very limited experience, try the strengthening rehab but, the youth mutant healing fades so they don't heal themselves anymore. I had a buckle tear that got scoped a year ago. Been a big difference in pain and no longer fear it locking up randomly (which was inhibiting stretching and strengthening).
  12. emphasis mine... "No special" [i.e. different] treatment, including coaches to umpires 🤣 I'm sure they were great and better than 99.99999999% of all other games but still, trying to work the umpire with a version of "how can you call that there", it just made me laugh.
  13. Thanks. I had wondered why U3 called time. Video below for folks. U3 Time Passed Ball 2026.08.xx.mov
