That was a dirty slide under the old rules, let alone the new ones. He’s in not only for the right cross, but for more than one beaning throughout the season.

Back when the NBA was watchable, even though it really wasn’t televised.

I thought there might be a separate section or a different rule that applied to a missed base vs. an “abandonment” of the bases. I’ve always seen the abandonment of the bases called after a dropped strike three where the batter just leaves and walks away, where a missed base I could swear I’ve seen play resumed, the…

It’s been awhile, but doesn’t an appeal have to be made and the plate touched on that call, or on any “missed base” call?

This one was done to the point where the kid had to touch the plate just to uncover it, so he theoretically influenced the outcome of the play by not allowing it to occur “naturally.” I’m with Psychodog. Just watch their feet. I’m guessing this crew or league got burned once by a missed call and they’re paranoid.

C: The world implodes and we all die.

I, for one, cannot wait to see my neighbor’s vacation photos instead of ever having to endure this hour-long shitshow.

The only reason I starred this was for the snark at Billy. Other than that, you are wrong.

I agree. Pekka has certainly passed the eye test more often than not. In the 3 OT game, he was the reason they won.

As a Sharks fan, I must agree. Hopefully new leadership (coaching) changes the mentality, but if not, it’s time to burn it all down to the ground.

Now THAT’S a Schiano man!

At least be a man and kick him face to face?

Not just pushed - cross checked. Flip the teams and the Preds fans would be saying the same. That’s how the sportsings work. It was a shady call, and any honest fan looking at the totality of the play would have to admit was questionable.

Spurs fan here. That was a beautiful goal from the run of play. Just perfect.

I’m guessing whatever is under that ring there on the edge is effing hard.

Man, that was a hard hit. The ring is much firmer there in the edges too, isn’t it. I hope he’s ok.

Sometimes I make a personnel decision that I agonize over, and then something happens to totally reassure me that I made the right decision. Kelly’s sulky tantrums are reassuring an exec somewhere.

Spurs fan having a hard time rooting against Claudio and Leicester, with the exception of Vardy who is a rat-faced git.

Did you just “lemonade” someone?

I’d prefer to be able to pilot myself and my shipmates to our fiery deaths!
