No player facing the boards should “expect” to get run from behind. I was so tired of seeing everyone talk about head contact. That wasn’t the call! It was boarding and a boarding that caused an injury. It should’ve been called a 5&Game, like the rulebook says. I completely buy that Sundqvist didn’t mean to injure…

AND I’D SURELY STAND UP! NEXT TO YOU AND SAVE ON MY NEXT RENTAL.

Probably the same vetting process as Mt Vernon hiring Art Briles.

Just put it in and hope it comes out.

Your point regarding similar turns and psychology is dead on. The viewers need a semblance of normalcy so they can get their feet wet. But once AEW’s TV show begins, they’re going to have to set themselves apart.

I’m not going to slam you but right now, WWE is a lousy product and fans are tired of the same 7 guys getting pushes.

It was so refreshing to see a show where quality of matches was the emphasis.

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

In my opinion, 9/11 was not good.

I don’t think they’re quite that dire for another center. It appears Dallas is giving Hintz the coming season to solidify his 2C role. His second half of the season and playoffs showed he is capable of playing those minutes. If Dallas can retain Zuccarello and somehow bring on The Thrill, with Hintz in the middle,…

I can’t imagine a scenario where he waives his no-trade to go to a perennial wild card fringe team. A team like Dallas* would be foolish to not go in on him.

I know it’s not a balk but it’s penalized as one when runners are on. And i agree that Stroman did not throw a traditional quick pitch in regard to motion and delivery, rather, he pitched quickly.

We give pitchers so much (deserved) shit for taking time between pitches (I’M LOOKING AT YOU ZACK GREINKE) but rarely do we take hitters to task. Like you said, you can only reset your batting gloves or scratch your balls so many times.

It’s basically what you described. A pitcher doesn’t allow the batter to “settle” in the box. I think it’s considered a balk with runners on and automatically called a ball if the ball isn’t put in play.

I love the quick pitch. They should be legal. Like the video showed, batters will call for time explicitly to throw off rhythm. Let the pitcher have an equalizer.

The new rule will also require QBs to scream out various dollar amounts while throwing.

Adding insult to injury, Martin Jones was actually good in this game.

I misheard that quote to be “he was so fast, he could crap and wipe before the doodoo hit the water.”
