    How we feeling today? Hearing we will get an update on Roope at 1p. Not sure if that's our time or eastern. My guess is he plays, but i won't be surprised if he doesn't

    If he’s not playing, you know the only update will be “lower body, day to day”

    If someone were to cross check nurse’s teeth out way behind the play, I can expect a cross checking minor and nothing else, right?

    this.  does anyone coach catchers? because the way she sets behind the plate isn't helpful and you are correct she moves the glove way to much.  pitches at the bottom of the zone get pulled to the middle to upper middle.  some of it is comical.  her tendency to try to pick every low pitch "up" also causes some the passed balls or at least balls the get away from her.

    I admit this is some nitpicking because she is still a very good catcher.

    that said I REALLY got tired of the the bitch color announcer saying "umpires in burnt orange".  blow me. the umps are awful in softball.

    The state of catching definitely has catchers moving their glove towards the zone to catch the pitch, so if a low pitch is called they will start with glove near the ground and work upwards.  
     

    Same with the other 3 sides, so start outside, inside and work back.  Where the body is shouldn’t matter. 
     

    but she overdoes the glove action and tends to pull everything to belt high middle instead of just into the zone.  That absolutely needs polishing.

    Ten Commandments posted in EVERY public school classroom about to be on the governors desk. 

    Unmet need for secular private schooling in Texas- approximately 10k per year tuition, maybe?

    just be prepared for the state to close that loophole as soon as it gets their attention.

    It’s in there. Margaret Brennan just questioned Mike Johnson about it on Face the Nation. 

    But can’t the judicial just declare it unconstitutional?

    if not, why don’t they cut to the chase and outlaw scotus and assign potus as final arbiter of all things?

    While I can believe it, without citing or quoting, I can't trust it. 

    Yeah it seems unlikely that the legislative branch can just pass laws neutering the judicial branch.

    Baseball America is one step ahead of you today:

     FIELD OF 64
    Nashville, Tenn.   Fort Worth, Texas
    1. (1) Vanderbilt^* (SEC)   1. (16) TCU^ (Big 12)
    2. Louisville (ACC)   2. Georgia Tech (ACC)
    3. Arizona State (Big 12)   3. Creighton* (Big East)
    4. Central Connecticut* (Northeast)   4. Utah Valley* (WAC)
         
    Austin, Texas   Corvallis, Ore.
    1. (2) Texas^ (SEC)   1. (15) Oregon State^ (Independent)
    2. UTSA (American)   2. Southern Miss (Sun Belt)
    3. Kansas State (Big 12)   3. Southern California (Big Ten)
    4. Houston Christian* (Southland)   4. Fresno State* (Mountain West)

    I’d guess they’ll flip tcu and Oregon state in this scenario for the potential matchup. 

  7. I doubt this is a novel idea, but the Clark hate from wnba players could be because they are the best in the world at their sport and she is showing everyone, by comparison, how non-elite their play really is. Just like if you were to let a g league guy play in the WNBA. 
     

    and that affects the perception and credibility of the league, and the marketability of the league and the players. 
     

    Because my question is why don’t most of the wnba players have the skill that Clark has, and why does a player like angel reese get the attention she gets?
