  1. The first page of this thread isn't aging well.
  2. Vance Luther Boelter - appointed by Waltz to the Governor's Workforce Development Board. https://nypost.com/2025/06/14/us-news/suspect-in-deadly-minnesota-shootings-identified-as-vance-luther-boelter/
  3. flip from Miss St.
  4. It was hilarious how they had to edit the finale to try to have even a pretense of drama. Tristan just dominated the season in a Paul Qui-esque way, and crushed the finale. Definitely a first ballot Top Chef hall of famer. The others were very good, but Tristan was just next level.
  5. early returns on Miller are very strong. I'm excited to see where we will be in 2-3 years.
  6. for the credibility of the sport this simply can't be obstruction.
  7. This is championship level parenting.
  8. I agree. The fact that it is obvious should comfort to me. Somehow I do not feel it is obvious to the one person who matters.
  9. you can never feel confident when the other team has the better pitcher. Kavan is wonderful, but Canady is a clear tier above her. We have the much better lineup, but you simply cannot manage Game 2 from the vantage point of feeling confident of your chances in Game 3. Too much variance can happen in any game. You play each game to win. White treated this game like a midweek directional school game.
  10. Cimunz needs to be the DP tomorrow. @Js1 is leading the charge, and I have my pitchfork right behind him.
  11. Cimunz battled well there
  12. Grady Little is like "whoa Mike, not sure about your pitching decisions there".
  13. White is just trolling us all at this point. Utterly incoherent. Why not let her start the inning if you are willing to bring her in this game?
  14. You should watch more softball. It is very different from baseball.
  15. that is what is so infuriating - the other freaking team is just throwing the same girl every pitch, every inning. You already stole some innings off Kavan's workload. Found money, the strategy worked! Put Salmon on a super short leash and then close the door with Kavan if there are any base runners. YOU SURE AS HELL DO NOT LET YOUR FRESHMAN THROW BASES LOADED AND THEN PULL A SHIFT MEANING YOUR PITCHER LOSES HALF THE PLATE. For crying out loud, you make it so your true freshman can't miss outside and can't miss inside and can't miss down the middle. I'm as pissed about this as I was about that garbage obstruction call. You could have asked someone to make the absolute worst possible decision in that moment and been hard pressed to equal White there.
  16. I am absolutely speechless - like, what is the possible justification for leaving Salmon in like that? Someone wake White up. Indefensible move. Absolutely indefensible. He is managing this game like he is up 3-0 in a 7 game series.
  17. For what it is worth, the Lauren Burke experience led to a locker room implosion. I’m not going to opine as to what, if any, impact that should have in the future and White’s role in needing to manage that. I’m only saying that there are very real factors affecting real team dynamics when it comes to players getting NIL in large part due to looks. To be sure, Pickens is a better player than Burke. You can say the players need to accept the way the world works blah blah blah, but petty jealousies exist and need to be balanced and taken into account. A moot point (unless Kavan unexpectedly goes elsewhere), but something to consider.
  18. journalism is funny - there's no actual information. Indirect statements from the broadcast booth, Coach White plainly saying he isn't talking specifics, Mia herself not giving interviews - yet speculation as to when it happened and that it is stopping her from playing in the future.
  19. Gary Sanchez did the intentional walk hit thing almost 10 years ago (ended up being a warning track sacrifice fly). I figured @Helobious would be all over that. https://www.mlb.com/video/sanchez-refuses-intentional-walk-c1155475783
  20. The Stanford VB match will be at the Moody Center - should be a fun scene.
  21. we look at more fastballs down the middle than any team i can remember.
