Kinda serious here in that the second most delicate part of the body, behind the head and face, are the family jewels. Yet, there isnt a certification on the impact the cup can take or the protection it will provide. Staring at the catcher's crotch to notice the stamp would be awkward though...

What? He's allowed two pumps.

I dont think I have ever seen MM apologize, so Eddings has that going for him.. He likes to argue and is always right, as far as he knows. If you care to see....

Mark Madden is.... well, Mark Madden. Love him (minority) or hate him (majority) he always has a thought provoking opinion. His wrestling schick that he uses often, does get old quickly though.

Sorry if this was mentioned before but the word is that meniscus surgery hastens a knee replacement. Take it for what it is worth. Btw, I am 10 weeks post op for my left knee replacement and 3 weeks pre op for my right. Got a arbiter game assignment on Monday for a fall ball game and had to be 'talked' out of it by my SWMBO. Seemed like old times... lol. Good luck!

Just curious, with or without knee candy (advil / tylenol) ?

Margin of error in the system? MOE half inch plus the inch on the black gives you 1.5 inches, which is half of a balls width, relatively.

Rule 5 5-15-C-3 Leaving position during an altercation change reads to me that this is an example of if you didnt like it, call it exactly as written. Tossing the 27th player on the bench for taking a few steps onto the infield during an altercation is draconian.

In a real life NFHS experience..... On a Senior Night, one game before a championship game and it might have been little Johnny's friends iguinas's birthday too, I threw out a head coach for arguing over a FPSL play and an assitant coach for flying out of the dugout after the HC was tossed. The HC's argument was how could I make that call - well the kid slid through the 2B and hindered the play - and after blowing through the first warning, he got personal and wouldnt stop arguing, blowing through the other warning quickly. His personal statement included, what was I doing as it was Senior Night and the Championship game was a game away (here, an ejection includes a 3 game suspension). He appealed the suspension, of course, and got the three games reduced to one. All I care about was that he earned his in-game suspension, of course. But, to TMIB words, it is up to the coaches and players to act properly no matter what the future holds for them. They act like a fool, they risk participating in the next few games. We only care how they act in the current game. And dont let a coach sway you in a plate meeting by letting you know what is upcoming for them. Forget it as soon as you here that gibberish. It doesnt matter for the current game.

IDK, this reeks of an AI generated list. Please take a quick poll to see if anyone has seen an umpire put their hands in their pockets for any reason other than trying to keep them warm between pitches or just to hand out. (BTW, I think putting hands in the front pockets for an extended period of time is a bad look. placing them in the back pockets is a better more attentive look) Sorry for highjacking this thread.

I disagree. 25 cents a game is a steal!

I only posted this now as I put them on today to protect my new knee when I starting working on my garage floor fixing my brakes. I wanted to keep my knee clean. I have felt a major difference in the swelling discomfort while these were on. I can't say they are better than what others have proposed. But, I can say they did help today for compression. Good luck in finding something that works for you.

It will be funny... Coach LoseALot gets a text mid game from Parent KnowItAll that his Billie only got to bat twice last game and needs to bat more. And, tell him to keep crouching over like Pete Rose did because Pete had over 4K hits in the show. They will get what they deserve if they abuse the cell phone policy.

That is some sort of Zen level or hash pipe level of thinking, my friend.

If cell phones and ipads are allowed to be held by the coaches in the box, how long before the first ejection because the coach is now taking video of everything and they have the nut cutter on video to show you how bad you missed it? Oh, I cant wait.
