Yes, I also posted that, because that comment bolsters my point.

SF’s first basemen is a righty. He had his glove on the completely other side of his body where the throw went.

Heyward was likely called out because he interfered with 1B (Belt) ability to field the throw. More at this link...

The batter can aim at the foul side of the bag. In fact, considering he starts in foul territory, that’s the most efficient path to the base.

Just because that’s the rules! Come on Umps!

Baseball fields have quirks, hardly something I would call “embarrassing.” Having a Chevron ad that extends the height of the outfield wall on the other hand...

It should be called on every play where the batter leaves the clearly-defined running lane and moves into the path of a throw, yes.

It was ball four. Batters shouldn’t swing at ball four.

Yeah, that basket is a goddamn embarrassment.

You can quote irrelevant rules all you like, but the photo is right there. Heyward stepped out of the running lane and into the path of the throw. That’s interference, plain and simple.

Well now we know what keeps you up at night.

How could you say Magic isn’t smart? Did you not read his tweet where he said the Lakers should inquire about LeBron AND Durant?? Those are two really, really great players. So that to me = great basketball IQ

I take offense at your characterization of Magic Johnson being as dumb as “a bag of fucking hammers”; the politically-correct way to describe his intellect would be “a crate of fucking anvils”. Please adjust your notes for future posts.

In Philly sports fans are anything, it is certainly being understanding and accepting of people like Lavar Ball...I can’t even imagine the amount of negative coverage he would get on Philly sports radio.

I should clarify that I am not a fan of Philadelphia and I want him to drop to them not because I want their team to improve, but because he will be miserable in the city and his dad has done everything to dissuade the Celtics from taking him so he can be a big star in LA.

Fultz is a better player, athlete, and mind than Ball. All day. Every day. If the Lakers had the first pick they would still take Ball, because Magic Johnson is legitimately not smart. He’s dumb as a bag of fucking hammers. And if the Celtics had the second pick and Ball was on the board, Ainge wouldn’t take him. They…

All that’s gonna happen in a situation like that where he doesn’t get what he wants is he’ll do like Steve Francis did and refuse to sign/play.

Or the Lakers pass on him and he goes to Philly or Phoenix.

Nothing would be greater than the Celtics AND the Lakers passing on him and him ending up in Philly.

I’m still hoping Boston trades the first pick to Toronto who takes Ball. I want to see anarchy on draft day at the Ball family table.
