    I sit behind the 3rd base dugout. Immediately after the play as the home plate umpire was walking out to meet with the other umpires he looked at Saarloos and did the hands over his ears as if to ask if he wanted to review it.

    interesting.  the whole thing is a clusterfuck.  bet that ump assumed it was reviewable and another ump told him it wasn't and then they did the ump scrum.  Is the rule a Big 12 conf rule or an NCAA baseball rule for reviews?

  2. Glad Frampton and Foreigner are in.  2011 I was driving home from work, show me the way comes on the radio, and had seen that frampton was playing Moody theater.  said fuck, never seen him so I'm going. still one of the best concerts I've seen.

    They fucking asked Saarloos if he wanted a review, and then proceeded to tell DP that they can’t review it.

    This is a major problem if this happened.  do we have documentation of it?  my thought is that Saarlac asked for 1st base ump(who has the call) to check with the other umps.  That is the usual process when you argue a call.

    Of course, 1B ump can decline to check with others if he wants to.

    It is absolutely beyond stupid that you can't review that but you can review a hit batter.  it should be reviewable because it is very easy to rectify if the ball does hit him.

  5. Live Bullet is easily a top 5 live album.  the 3 album run from Night moves, Stranger in Town, Against the Wind is as solid a 3 album run as you'll find.  Hit after Hit.

    reading the wiki - did not know he used the muscle shoals rhythm section  for half the songs on those albums...

    Anyone going to see Adam Ant in Austin this weekend?

    Play lists for other shows look really good, so I've been going back and forth.

    went last night.  show was surprisingly good.  hard to believe he is 69.  the setlist was great and the eclectic nature of his/ants catalogue didn't make it feel like a greatest hits fest.  The old Ants stuff actually stands a bit of the test of time.  most everyone on the floor stood the entire show which says something.

    The band was finominal which made the concert to be honest.  I was worried he'd be off due to being 3rd night in a row but he was good enough.

    I was at the game and could not see the ball hit the runner. The ball didn’t change trajectory or slow down. I’ve seen some of y’all say it did hit the runner so I’ll take your word for it, but it’s completely reasonable for Pierce to react the way he did. I was reacting about the same. Initially the home plate umpire was as asking Saarloos if he wanted to challenge 

    the umpires fucked that up six ways from sunday.  just review it and be done.

    Bizarro season. 1-5 on conference Fridays. 5-1 in conference series’. Nightmare non-conference performance. They certainly know how to turn it on when things are on the line, but it’s hardly enough to dig out of holes they create for themselves 

    while bizarro is somewhat true, I think you are overestimating how they can turn it on when things are on the line.  This conference sucks ass which is why we are muddling our way through some of the series.

    I'll take the series wins but they don't really tell us much due to the competition.
