  1. but none of that wording says anything about what happens if a catcher is blocking the plate with the ball.
  2. Smoltz asked "if the runner then would be able to run over the catcher" and the booth ump said yes, at that point he can "collide"(not glide) with the catcher. booth ump answer seems to imply you don't have to slide.
  3. probably a bigger gut punch for the Jays with Ohtani going tomorrow.
  4. the booth ump said as long as the runner doesn't deviate from the direct path he didn't have to slide. the wording in the rule book would be interesting to read.
  5. that's not what the booth ump said to Smoltz.
  6. I know that but the booth ump guy said that if he does you can run over his ass pete rose/ray fosse style. my question is how far does the front foot need to move to be consdered "blocking the plate"? to be clear, I think it will likely never happen because guys have now been conditioned to slide or give up. NGL though I would love to see an old school bang bang home plate collision to decide a game...and I played catcher.
  7. apparently I was wrong on that. the problem is you aren't going to know in time unless you are so far up the line that you can actually decide not to slide and you know the catcher is going to block the plate. my question is if the catcher moves his foot from the front corner towards the back of the plate a few inches can you just nail him for that? how far is allowed to be considered still "giving the runner a lane"
  8. you can't, you will be called out.
  9. now that was stupid with Vlad Jr on deck.
  10. I think he got back on before the tag. nevermind. I thought the glove came off.
  11. yeah you have to send him there. sometimes its just baseball.
  12. yes, I still walk him. I collect baseball cards, mainly 60's and 70's, and never got into all the new "engineered rarity/perfect cuts" stuff but when he went deep the 3rd time in game 4 and pitched 6 inn 10 K's I immediately bought 2 gem mint rookie cards. I'm like this dude is babe ruth when it is literally impossible to be babe ruth in modern baseball. they be never be worth what I paid for them but at least it is something I can pass down to my son. what he is doing is so abnormal it will never be done again, IMO.
  13. you just need to walk him...
  14. you forgot a few words...
  15. does the wife hang around practice a bit too much? red flags if so...
  16. weekly post to ask whether Sark could give me a game where I'm not going "WTF is going on" in the first quarter.
  17. seems likely with surgery, but hell, midteer came back in 3 weeks and he's a QB and it was on his throwing hand. get a fucking club on that thing and lets go.
  18. yeah but seriously, who among us hasn't tried to do that once or twice in our lives.
  19. I think there is a bit of difference. CDC at this time is well entrenched as the AD. We aren't a shitshow in the Ath Dept like we were for Strong AND Herman. I realize Eltife and BMD's make the call but the AD is important. CDC has shown he can run a pretty tight ship. other than our OL debacle you are coming into a pretty good situation and you can address talent issues almost immediately now. If you want to coach in the SEC, this is a pretty damn good spot. If you don't, well then it ain't for you anyway.
  20. If his pre snap and post snap reads are just a little better/little faster than Arch it could go a long way but our running game is still an issue. This will be a heck of a test for him/us. hopefully getting back home gives everyone some extra juice.
  21. Cignetti is 64. I think he might jump to an SEC offer but he might not want the headache. These days if he can get in the playoff from the B1G it is probably an easier path. He can be king of Indiana. There are a bunch of schools in the B1G that probably aren't gonna pony up to buy a shit ton of football players with NIL.
  22. ha. I listen to him on the way back from Dallas sometimes and it has been hilarious the last 4 or 5 years. He saw really good football for many years and is seeing the worst run organization in the NFL for the last 10(given that they are the Dallas Cowboys and not the Cleveland Browns) and he's had enough.
