Thank you very much for your ultimate wiseness Bradley.

It's not like I posted it there so I could get on my laptop to copy/paste it to Word so I could print it out.

I am so stupid, thank you for brightening up my life Bradley.

Umm, email? That's how 98% of people do that

Hey, not too shabby. I usually don't make reliever. Mainly cause I suck at them. This guy's good.

Hmm...MLB just implemented its new home plate collision rule. Here's what it states:

Quote:

-A runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate). If, in the judgment of the Umpire, a runner attempting to score initiates contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate) in such a manner, the Umpire shall declare the runner out (even if the player covering home plate loses possession of the ball).

-Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting to score. If, in the judgment of the Umpire, the catcher, without possession of the ball, blocks the pathway of the runner, the Umpire shall call or signal the runner safe.

Thoughts?

How are they supposed to infer whether the runner "initiated" contact?

If they think he purposely moves towards the catcher instead of sliding.

I think the catcher should be able to block the plate even without having the ball. A lot of close plays are gonna go to the runner now.

Saw this post on ESPN

Quote:

The spirit of this rule is essentially "don't be a dick."

Catchers: So there's a guy barreling down the third base line and you don't have the ball yet. Deal with it. He's supposed to try and score, so don't be a dick and get in his way when you can't even tag him out.

Runners: So the ball beat you to the plate and you're all but a dead duck. Deal with it. Hook slide, front flip over the catcher's head, do the boogaloo to confuse the catcher into not tagging you, whatever; just don't be a dick and run the catcher over for trying to do his job of getting you out.

I fail to see what's wrong with this picture.

I'm really confused, what exactly did Zero do that upset all of us so much?

first baseball game today!

dishnet34 · **Posted:** Tue Feb 25, 2014 10:28 am

Agent, what got us mildly upset was that he placed a small assignment (about a paragraph or so) for school in the GCT, for copy-and-paste reasons. I deleted the post and sent it to him as a PM to help him out with the copy-pasting.
