Actually the back judge is supposed to be in a position to be able to see both at the same time. Plus everyone moves the second the ball is snapped, so you can judge it that way too. There is no excuse for 1.77 seconds. Is Spartan Bob from Baltimore by any chance?

Wait, are you saying our congress is dishonest?

These anti-vaxx people...............Sign a pledge that you believe memes over doctors and then later in life when you need some kind of surgery, go have a guy/gal on facebook do it. you'll save money and won't have those liberal elitist hands in your body. Come on, make the pledge, Money where your mouth is, Do it..........DO IT. You Tube/Facebook Surgery experts doing the surgery, it would make a great streaming channel.

Term limits with national politics would have to be across the board with every single state, If certain states don't go along, then their reps, based on seniority, would get the chairmanships in congress and money would go to their districts first. it wouldn't be fair.

Campbell made some tactical errors this past week. None of them were to the level of a freakout. I mean, seriously, even with the 4th and 19 conversion they left them with a 66 yard attempt. But I am fine with it. This is the year to get the mistakes out of your system. This is the year to learn what not to do for the players and coaches. This year doesn't matter, except for draft position. If he's doing this stuff in year 3, I'm going to be more unhappy about it. One of the things I am happy about was that they are not going to be married to an older player who's not working out. They put the young guys in. They had energy, they made plays. The young LBs made the secondary a little better. They made mistakes too, but you'll take that with the young guys, not guys who are 30 or over.

There has to be a camera angle from behind Lama Jackson where you see the play clock in the other end zone, the same one he sees. That's the one the players use. I want to see that angle, maybe the broadcast clock was off. But it doesn't matter, the Fords won't make a fuss, they'll just keep getting beat down by this stuff.

There might be some wiggle room with height, but width is supposed to be absolute. No, not the same strike zone for Aaron Judge and Jose Altuve, but my solution would be taking a photo of each player's stance and programming it in to the computer. That's not that hard to do. But yesterday the 2 pitchers had different strike zones form the start of the game, and even then the strike zone seemed to change from beginning to end. That's not acceptable. (The ump really wanted that game to end, he had to go to the bathroom or something).

I've got an idea. Since all referees wear earpieces now how about a system like the NBA shot clock. When the shot clock expires there is a buzzer sound. Now, I don't think they should have a buzzer sound that plays in the whole stadium because it would have to be insanely loud and since many QBs wait until the very last second to snap the ball, if you had a snap and buzzer going off all the time it could be distracting, but how about the officials, hear a ding, like you do when you get a message on your phone and if you hear that ding before the ball is snapped, it's Delay of Game. I don't know, it doesn't seem all that radical to me (Unless there is an effort to favor some teams over others...........no way that could be happening).

Overall speed can cover a lot of blemishes. Plus, it seems there may be some hints that Jamie Collins was not following protocols, playing out of position, not covering guys he was supposed to, he was kind of improvising out there and it probably threw everyone else off. I think they were better without Flowers too. They had more energy overall. Maybe because these guys are from the old regime they just are not buying in 100% to what Glenn and Campbell want................HA, Glen Campbell !

That was awesome..............and my oh my did things echo down there...............

You're as sick of it as I am. Makes me wonder if the ump had to take an urgent dump or something..............

The only Tiger in action next year will be Robbie Grossman, who will be their MLBPA Rep, reporting to us that the two sides are not getting close to a deal. I guess the advantage to that is it will give Green, Tork, Ryan K and Co more time to develop in the minors. Will Bally's show Mud Hen games?

No, there hasn't, but he does not travel anymore (could be an exception with the last road trip), but he's been in declining health and you can really hear it. He's never been a silver-tongued smoothie on the air, but he's alright. We know his history with the team and the area, so we can deal with it. I know they've used various other folks. Bring Rod Allen back. At least he's entertaining. Maybe they keep going with a rotation. I'd like Austin Jackson to get more of a tryout.

I know, I got lost in the wrong thread, but my feelings towards Abreu are unwavering. He's a spaz.

Last two pitches Niko Goodrum took today were not strikes by any definition known to baseball. I can see pitch height being something one can argue to a degree, but OVER THE PLATE is a clearly defined standard and I am sick and tired of hearing about This Guy's Strike Zone or That Guy's Strike Zone. Time to try it out. It hurts the game

Time for Robot Umps...............The last 2 strikes were not even close.

This could be Jim Price's last game............

The memories.............

♫ Memories.............Like the corners of my mind ♫

Come on, Boys.....................Walk this one off...............

The rubberband thing on the beard's a good look, Abreu.

All Niko did was throw his hands up and say "what's that?" and Abreu goes crazy. And LaRussa must not have had is Ensure today and he's getting a little pissy. Shut up, Tony.

I turn away to record a commercial and all hell breaks Fuck you, Abreu. Don't crowd the plate if you don't want to get hit. And Niko ain't giving you an inch there.

SCHOOP SAC 8-7

Keep fighting, fellas.
