You’re the Tommy Toughnuts of the thread

Major League Baseball needs to get their shit together from an umpire standpoint. If guys are allowed to intentionally bean players and are only ejected about half the time, there’s literally no reason (to an extent) a player should be ejected for arguing balls and strikes (and the same could go for the majority of…

I didn’t state you were incorrect. I’m just saying that if people are going to make accusations, they may want to have a little more evidence than what has been provided thus far. If it was that simple, everyone would be doing it.

How is the sign relayed from the camera man in centerfield to the batter? If the accusation was true, it would require much more complexity than a simple camera in centerfield.

You have an odd view on success rate

I mean that's complete speculation, but sure if it makes you feel like the better person.

No, I really don’t believe he knew the lion was collared. I’m not sure how experienced you are with hunting, but it’s not like you get 10-15 feet away or get a still image to look at for 5-10 minutes while you examine it for a reason not to shoot it. I’ve shot a whitetail deer that had escaped from a local deer farm…

Considering he’s legally obligated NOT to bring the meat out of the country, it seems odd to be mad (even though you have no clue) that he didn’t eat the lion. Typically, in my actual experience, the meat is donated to the local villages.

I mean you don’t need to apologize, but acknowledging that you ignored the fact that legal lion hunts took place for a very, very long time without a single word of outrage is a start.

Watch out ...... I’m comin’ for ya

Parents aren’t exactly the most rational human beings.

Well considering she’s “reporting” on the issue, that would by a literal definition make her a “reporter”. How is this confusing? There’s a pretty enormous grey area between TV personality, reporter, and commentator.

We, as consumers, purchase these goods while being willfully ignorant on the means by which they were created.

I completely agree. I just don’t understand how the original comment is viewed at all as a logical comparison. I don’t think the balk or infield fly rule are in anyway arbitrary to a baseball fan, and probably a good portion of casual sports fans. The “intentional batting” rule is arbitrary to almost everyone.

Why do you care what other people find to be entertainment? I love baseball and football (wow, you can like two sports? Get the fuck outta here).

As someone who loves baseball, the unwritten rules of baseball are fucking stupid. I’m not sure of any other sport where you can clearly intentionally try to commit an ejection quality offense (beaning), and it’s viewed as a “part of the game”. In football, basketball, or hockey you can celebrate literally every…

Since you’ve decided that all football fans are dumb (btw, excellent burn), what is your favorite sport? Is it void of rules others find to be stupid? Why do you so strongly feel the need to compare your unknown favorite sport to football, and justify why it’s better via one single NFL rule? Are you incapable of…

How the fuck does it make their point stronger? He’s comparing a rule in baseball that occurs quite often (daily), with a rule in football that occurs very, very infrequently (to the point where HOF’ers and current players had no clue the rule exists —- yet, every single baseball player understands the infield fly…

I think it’s overly optimistic to assume we can correctly and/or accurately determine who is “mentally ill” enough to require treatment, and the success of the treatment assisting in avoiding violent outbursts. Obviously, any additional attention that can be brought to mental illness will help, in someway, decrease…

Exactly. You don’t even really need to understand the infield fly rule to have it executed in a game. Typically, the ump screams it immediately, and even if he doesn’t it’s a simple infield pop fly that is caught 99.99% of the time and the runner doesn’t attempt to advance 99.99% of the time. Regardless, it’s a rule…
