Your rule legislates intent. That’s impractical. So instead they said you can’t slide past the bag, beyond reach, and you have to actually try to stay on the bag...that does the trick and is concrete: it’s easy to see if you end up so far beyond the base that you can’t reach it (and that you’re not reaching for it.)…

Anyone who cares SO much about Baseball to be considered a 'purist' probably should have someone dive into their knee, anyways. Being a purist usually entails "Back in my day men HIT each other as hard as they could and I liked it!" Essentially they want to watch blood sports... not regular sports, which are too…

I hate the rule completely but also agree for no railroading of a players leg, so just change it so there is no intentional dive at a players legs.

This. A million times, this. Got intentionallly spiked with 2 outs at second when I was 15, still dealing with problems in my left knee and I’m 26. People don’t understand how bad injuries sustained in that manner can be. People see baseball as low to no contact, but not for second basemen. That shit put me in the…

THey never should have allowed the runner to have the option to slide into the fielder.

Wrong. Drop their pay scale to $45,000 a year if they want to start playing Tee-ball. These guys get paid big bucks to play hard and take chances. All these players know that going in. It's part of the deal. I’m a Blue Jays fan and I agree with the call last night (no matter how sketchy), but I don’t agree with the…

There is a significant overlap of baseball purists and Trump supporters. They’d prefer we return to takeout slides, spitballs, and the Negro Leagues. Idiots.

After seeing Tejada and Kang get their legs snapped last season, I’m okay with the rule. Screw unwritten rules and “playing the game the right way.”

“act like you’ve been there before” is a big thing in sports.

I remind myself a lot of Swayze in Road House.

When I watch Road House I wince at the number of potential law suits Swayze causes. For masturbating purposes it’s Cocktail every time dude.

1. The other guy started it. (No one has ever started a bar fight in the history of bar fights.)

Mouthing “bang” while looking unimpressed is also how my son was conceived

Agreed. Watchmen, Lord of the Rings - when you adapt something, some fans of the source material will always complain. You simply can’t fit the picture in the mind of every single person. Compared to the films we could have gotten in both cases, I think we got pretty damn lucky.

The Ultimate cut is the best Superhero-movie I have seen (I have not seen any other version). It is probably too faithful to the source, but it was visually stunning and I was never bored. Some odd muscical choices though.

I saw the movie when it was fairly new, and hadn’t read the comic, and found it rather unmemorable. Cut to years later, and I found the hardcover comic at my amazing local comic book store for $15 (!!! These guys go all out for Free Comic Book Day, and when I saw that price tag, I immediately picked it up and didn’t…

The opening sequence, set to The Times They Are A-Changing is one of my top ten cinematic moments of all time. It’s just utterly perfect, and a good example of what Snyder can go if something works well. Regardless of what anyone thinks of the rest of the film, that opening credit sequence alone is breathtakingly…

I never understood the hate this movie gets.

interesting point. i bet if you graph a venn diagram with people who ready Watchmen and enjoyed the movie, they would favorably like BvS. In contrast, if you enjoyed Age of Ultron, you’re likely to not like BvS.

I am very pleased I was able to snag the ‘ultimate cut’ a while back, since I believe it is still on moratorium.
