take I-75 south to the Fla turnpike, follow that to i-95, take the Oakland Park Blvd exit west, around the bend to the left in 10 miles and you can't miss it.

No way. This is what makes baseball great! Hitter knows he cant put the pitchers putaway pitch in play but can get enough bat on it to foul it off in hope he makes a mistake on the next pitch.

I don't like the one foul ball after strike two idea. I think a hitter's ability to foul away borderline strikes to stay in the box for another pitch is a skill to not be punitive. I think it goes along with the idea that you don't abolish the shift, you expect the hitters to deal with it and hit away from it. We are probably biased, but we wouldn't have the Dave Bergman at bat in our memories if this rule were in place. An at bat that gets extended in time by foul balls also gets a shot of adrenaline with each pitch. I think that adrenaline is what people find enjoyable while watching a game (the actual foul ball, not the 30 seconds of unnecessary wandering around the mound and batting glove adjustments that might come along with it). As far as calling time outs and being back in the box, etc, if a batter doesn't move their feet on a pitch, there shouldn't be much of a delay in between pitches. Heck, even if they swing and stay in the box and maintain balance, there shouldn't be much delay. A pitch up and in that pushes a batter back and out of the box, you have to be reasonable. A batter gets a bug in his eye or a contact comes loose or something like that, you've got to acknowledge those issues come up. I think umpires probably have a decent idea as to who is milking it in those situations. You have to give the umpires the power to keep things moving along. (And, yes, I realize I am lumping Angel Hernandez into this using good judgement scenario, but I didn't claim my idea to be fool proof.) As for the in field non pitching mound visit conferences, put a limit on those like mound visits?

She was giving an explanation to an audience who she felt wouldn't understand something more complex Kind of like We are going build a wall to keep out all the bad people. Unfortunately, Trump still has a lot of power. A third of the country is hanging on every word he says.

Kacie, i apologize for getting into a “whose suffering matters more” dialogue. It all sucks. Ukraine matters because its the 44m people economy trying to join EU and is in the bullseye of Putin. Yemen is the messy side of the messy side of the hot mess of the World. But the people in either place matter and the international community should hope that they give succor to all.

Exhibit A:

Spoke today to a friend/colleague in Yemen. Their situation is no less horrific and heartbreaking, yet the World basically doesn't care. If you happen to see Trevor Noah's take on this, it kind of puts it all in perspective.

Yes, they need to deaden the ball. Nothing extreme to severely hinder offense, just go back to the balls they were using a few years ago.

I have been more than a little emotional these last few nights seeing the spirit in the Ukrainians. It reminds me of watching The Battle of Britain with my son when he was very small and explaining to him that his English relatives were fighting for the very existence of Democracy. Imagine you were given this decision in your life. Stay and fight monstrous evil for your country. And evil is happening to them. This won't end without unimaginable suffering. My son is now 18 and intently interested in what is happening. As a parent this is really challenging. I can tell him how I know the US and NATO air forces would clean every clock in Russia if they created a no-fly zone but then we would risk nuclear war.

It will be reacted to though

If he doesn’t mention him by name… and he won’t….. it’s basically meaningless.

I think Covid gets credit for that or the governors that shut down their states.

Chris Ilitch is offering his employees 50% off a hot and ready after they buy the first one at regular price. Those with more than 3 years seniority also get a free crazy sauce if they buy the bread.

Hey, back to wok those boxes aren't going to lift themselves...

Can you imagine the embarrassment if they measured...everything. Pickett has the smallest wang of any QB at the combine...ever. That kind of talk could ruin a man's life

Lol okay Marge

they already cut that from 2 45 to 2 15. and that's not the real delay. the real delay is the delay in between pitches.
