Try a euphemism once in awhile.

Including at least one baseman failing to apply a tag while holding the ball and standing on the base.

But, did he get the ball?!

I was wondering if that’s what happened. Or if it made contact with someone or something near the dugout entrance.

Depends on whether or not the ball leaves the field of play or is otherwise ruled dead (because, say, a fan reaches into the field of play and makes contact with it).

Well, let’s see if the Mariners give him a try first so I don’t have to watch yet another team.

Little League style would be at least two over-throws, but I nitpick.

Me too.

That he is.

I honestly wonder if, when his fielding abilities drop off far enough that he’s no longer even mediocre, he’ll just park himself on an AL team as their DH for 6 to 1o more years and really give it a go at fully burying Pete Rose once and for all.

No need to apologize!

Huh, you’ve used this one before $kaycog.

It’s a whole lot easier to see future enemies coming by land when there’s nothing but pavement for 150 miles stretching from our borders. So we should just lay down that amount of pavement, environment be damned, along our land borders so that the potential enemy can’t hide.

You know what, I stayed civil with your unwillingness to read my comment and unwillingness to acknowledge the PGA’s own words on their own website about the ambiguity of the rule, since intent absolutely is involved. But fuck you. Here’s the Dismiss button.

Only if the damage is unintentional.

Well, the rule is a little stickier than that. This page on the PGA’s website explains that “Rule 4-3a is more about unexpected equipment failure.”

Sometimes, players will even sacrifice a club to make a tough shot, if they think it’s worth it. Here’s Tiger Woods doing that in the 2007 Masters and Ernie Els in the 2015 Velspar Championship (though Els’ may have been unforeseen):

Punctuation matters!

Without a directional indication, and with 3 paw prints supposedly meaning 1 kilometer, that means you’d have to search an area of 3.14 square kilometers (1.21 square miles) to find the damn thing. Good luck with that.

The apology from Crowell should forever serve as Exhibit #1 on how public figures should apologize when they do something wrong.
