  1. My cousin pulled off an unassisted triple play in Pony League. /csb
  2. Wow. Starting to look like the phantom HR won't matter. But who knows, 'cause baseball.
  3. Did they say that? If so, good. Needs to be said about eleventy-bazillion more times, apparently.
  4. Yep. But he struck and we got fuck all out of the AB. And it's 1-0 instead of 1-1. He hits a HR on every 31.5 ABs on average.
  5. Sure, per analytics. But if you bunt Altuve there and Yordan hits that grounder to 1B, it's 1-1.
  6. Manufacturing runs is still allowed last time I checked.
  7. Seriously. I know, 'playing for the big inning', 'analytics', etc. but if you bunt Tuve right there it's probably 1-1 now instead of 1-0.
  8. Fuck you, Blue. You're set up there ffs. I hate the logic of calling a strike just because that was where the catcher set up. You see guys in college ball getting strikes that way when the catcher and the ball are 6-10" off the plate. It's fucking bullshit.
  9. 100%, I agree. IMHO it didn't hit anything else outside the field and should have been a GR 2B. Now they just clarified that the ruling merely stands and is not confirmed. Which is still incorrect, but I can at least live with the logic.
  10. I could understand if they couldn't tell if it hit anything else and wouldn't reverse the call, but 'confirming it' is bullshit. OK that was a crazy ricochet off Acuna on Pena's popup..
  11. Great, great race, but unfortunately not many people there to see it. Maybe 20,000 or so today. Saturday was smaller, and Friday was deserted. Sad, for such a great world championship racing series. Crowds seem to be getting worse and worse here year after year. Anyone know what they've been like at the other stops this season? And fuck 'Human Bowling Ball' Marquez. He's like a NASCAR driver, but on two wheels.
  12. LOL. Fuck Marquez. Dangerous AF.
  13. x, x, x, x, 3, 4, 6, 5, 2, 1, x, x, x, x
  14. Nah, man. I love it. You should see it irl. Lots of other amazing liveries in Moto GP, 2, & 3, too.
  15. Not F1, but ... that livery! Why can't F1 have nice things like this?
  16. Yeah my kid and I were just saying the same thing. Lewis, Alonso, and Max did it very young, but not many others. A whole lot more have come up too soon and flamed out spectacularly.
  17. There's some logic to that. To me though, the risk would be in potentially crushing the confidence of a guy who could be great some day if handled correctly but hasn't even found his way in F2 yet after skipping F3. Putting him in a Merc seat next year seems too fast imho, but who knows. ETA: For some time, people have thought that Sainz is headed to Audi in 2026. If so, he needs a ride for 2025. 1 year at Merc would be perfect for him and would allow Merc to let Ant cook a little more.
  18. Just started watching FP1. Looks like none of us are out there, wow. I've never seen Friday this bad for MotoGP. Two minutes into practice and the main topic is already the racing surface. At least 5 different surfaces, multiple grip levels. the usual ripples and bumps, and according to NASCAR drivers it'll need resurfacing again before F1, etc. Don't hold your breath for that one.
  19. Prepare thy anus ...
  20. La Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting Sainz to Mercedes on a 1+1 deal. https://www.gazzetta.it/Formula-1/12-04-2024/carlos-sainz-va-alla-mercedes-f1.shtml
  21. Nice. Not surprised. Wrapped up at least through 2026 and has committed to a role with the team after he stops racing. This is where I've been thinking he'd end up. There's not much allure for him at Merc at the moment, and I don't think a RBR seat will open up. Add in the team culture and the way the team and Alonso get along, all the infrastructure and engineering talent investment Stroll's been making, plus Honda coming onboard (even though a lot of people said Honda would force Alonso out) and there's a lot of potential there. 'He'll never drive for Renault again after 2006! ---> drives for Renault again. 'He'll never drive for Ferrari!' after his comments during 2006 ---> drives for Ferrari 'He'll never drive for Ron Dennis or McLaren again!' ---> drives for Ron Dennis and McLaren again. 'He'll never drive for Renault again!' after 2009 ---> drives for Renault again in an Alpine. 'There's no way he can stay quick at his age!' ---> stays very quick as he gets older. 'He'll never drive a Mercedes-powered car again!' ---> drives a Mercedes-powered car again. 'He'll never drive a Honda-powered car again!' ---> extends to drive a Honda-powered car again.
  22. No. So they'd have more teams actually trying to compete. I mean, a 20 team relegation format sounds great, but it's never gonna happen when Andretti fucking Cadillac can't even gain acceptance as an 11th team. And what NoName said better than I was gonna be able to say it.
