And right on cue this comes across my feed. https://www.avclub.com/true-lies-remains-james-camerons-lightest-silliest-mo-1851592528?

Say there’s a borderline pitch on the outside that the C pulls back. That’s framing the pitch. without the frame maybe the ump calls it a ball but we later learn it’s actually a strike. Pitch framing isn’t just turning balls into strikes but making sure strikes get called as strikes.

Has nothing to do with the topic but this reminded me of something I know you’d appreciate. “I didn’t tell him I was looking for a woman Marty”

He’s Peter Thiel’s bitch.

How come whenever they say God did something on purpose it’s for bad things? A hurricane punished the gays, etc.

Vance gives off a lot of creep vibes.

What about situations where a frame helps the ump make the correct call? I’m not against robo umps or even instant replay on pitches. But trying to outlaw pitch framing crosses a line.
-
To me it’s gamesmanship. I don’t see the logic in making it illegal to not try to get a call. The umpire is responsible to get it right. Not the catcher. If the pitch was a strike and they “frame” it and it’s called a strike do you then call it a ball? Don’t punish the beneficiary of a blown call. Do we expect a runner to say “no I was out” when the ump makes a bad call on the bases?

How would that rule be written and implemented? As a catcher sometimes you do have to move the glove if you want to catch it in the webbing instead or the heel. If the ump is expected to know a frame then they wouldn’t have called the pitch a strike to begin with.

It is windy here today.

The intensity of the media today means that something next week will happen that will negate any effects of this situation.

All of the hysteria over “what is happening to our country” is just fishing for emotion. Where have these people been? Shooting up babies in school wasn’t enough to wake you up?

My wife loves Friends and since it’s in all day and all night we often have it on while we are reading or playing on our phones. Lots of similar jokes. Making fun of gays or overweight people.

Same with gummies. So I have heard. Takes a few hours. What gets people in trouble is they think it’s not working so they have another. Then it’s bad.

I think the level of support changes from current to former presidents. It’s still very high but not the same extent as a sitting. they will turn this into a deep state conspiracy.
-
These people dismissed Jan 6 and made fun of the spouse of the Speaker of the House when he was attacked. So spare me the condemnations of political violence. It rings hollow.

He’s not going to like that.

He has immunity though so it’s all good.

If that happened to Biden the media would have said he needs to step aside because obviously he’s not nimble enough to get out of the way

Secures a winning homestand against Cleveland and LA. And the two losses could have easily been wins. I admit to not watching after they got down 9-4. I was putzing around the house and took a quick nap. Then I got the alert on the Keith HR.

Yeah that movie didn’t age well at all. That was Bill Paxton but I’m not sure yet if he was famous. Throw in the satirical take on the terrorists. But it was the 90’s.

The Tigers do have an organ and organ player this year for some games. There was a story about it not long ago.
