A couple of random possibilities:

I get that. So how many need to be at each starting point? I pulled the NJ Coast schedule since that is the line that serves where I live (I don’t take it in to the city though). My guess is you need at least 9 engineers to work that o a weekday (the first 7 going into NYC and first 2 going out of don’t allow for a…

Hey Samer, its not important, but check the details on the marriage. Unless he got divorced and remarried recently, I know Jonah was married to his wife for a much longer period of time than a year. He’s talked about following her to Denver for her work, them having twins roughly as old as my twins (so 9 1/2) and that…

I’m not sure I really understand what you are saying. Are you saying they should run the trains with a crew that can’t handle it while factoring in safety? Or are you saying that they should have multiple spare crews at each of the 10-12 start stations in the morning (since the trains don’t start in NYC)? So you want…

Yeah, I take this type of injury a bit personal since getting trucked ended my baseball career in 10th grade. It probably wasn’t going on more than a week or two longer due to lack of talent but having to be helped off to take a trip to the hospital is not how you want your last game to end.

Geez, that ump is awful. The worst part is the I’ll show you strike he called on LeMahieu (the 0:49 mark). That one is like 4-6 inches outside (i think it crossed over the other batter’s box line which is 6 inches) and he calls it a strike.

He did that a month ago and required 6 stiches. https://deadspin.com/look-at-this-dumb-shit-brett-gardner-did-to-himself-1835355095

If you can show me that I’d love to see it. What I see is that Lucroy sets up with his left foot basically on the corner of the plate (I think its just in front but barely). At no point does any part of his body cross over the foul line (which given how its positioned exactly bisects the plate). So he never, at any…

I guess. I means it a force calculation that’s half easy (A 3" 5 1/4 oz ball traveling 90 MPH with a certain elasticity is much easier to measure than the impact a 200 lb person running 20 MPH can because figuring out the size of the impact area and the elasticity of Jake’s body is hard).

That is 100% fair and accurate. The issue of course is that this wasn’t a pitch to the face (its not even the head, every case you gave here is to the temple/orbital bone). It was a pitch to the upper back.

Mind you its not “found out” its “you discovered it and had to tell your other parent.”

What if it was the other way around, that he caught his shitty-ass mom screwing someone.  Do YOU want to be the one to tell Dad?

And the thing is, I am ok with suspending Ramirez. The precedent is there that if hit a guy on purpose with a pitch you get suspended.

Marisnek actually did violently attack someone in the head, not “in the area of the head” with far greater force than you can get from hitting someone with a 149g baseball (even if it is traveling 89 MPH).

Why would he need to be psychic? Lucroy was set up inside as the ball was caught (i.e. before Marisnik took a step). He was inside the entire run. He remained inside up until he was hit (where Marisnick went from running right on the line to 2 feet inside the line).

The fact that you literally have to go back 100 years (before such things as helmets, clean balls, and freaking modern medicine) to find an example proves the point.

What snap decision? Go look at the replay, especially from the 2nd angle (the 2:40 mark)

Why?

But that is sorta the point. I could see eating almost anything if I am going to to a restaurant for a sit-down breakfast since that is a once every 2 months sorta thing. But does that really count as “breakfast food” or is that just eating out in the morning. Also, how many of those times was it truly breakfast and…

By law its almost certainly on the menu somewhere. Maybe on the back of the last page, but generally charges like this need to be disclosed.
