@mattrizzo17 @russcanzler @prepbaseball You can't pump fake to 1B. That would fall under feinting, which isn't allowed. You 100% can pick your leg up and go to 2B if a runner is stealing. It just needs to be a clean move to 2B.

@BearWithMe78 @russcanzler @prepbaseball You have to disengage. If not, then every single lefty would pump fake the first base on the first move steal. Doesnt work that way. That’s the advantage of going first move. If he steps back in disengages, the rubber is a different story. But you can’t leg lift and not throw.

Legal move or no? This is how our 15U lost today at the @prepbaseball nationals. 1st & 3rd, lefty on the mound. Our guy goes on leg raise, pitcher recognizes & fakes to first, disengages and throws him out at 2B. We were told confidently that it is a legal move on an “advancing” runner. My understanding is a pitcher cannot fake a pick to 1B while still engaged with the rubber?! Every fiber in my body thinks this is a balk. Zoom for a better look..

@mattrizzo17 @russcanzler @prepbaseball This is the OBR rule. (4) The pitcher, while touching his plate, throws, or feints a throw to an unoccupied base, except for the purpose of making a play; The comment under the rule and the MLB Umpire Manual clearly cover it too.

@mattrizzo17 @russcanzler @prepbaseball You don't have to disengage. You are part of the 99% that don't know the rules.

@russcanzler @prepbaseball Under either rule set, I'm calling a balk here because its not a legal inside move. That's different than calling it because he went to 2B and it is unocuppied. That part IS ALLOWED, especially under Fed where you can drive runners back.

@russcanzler @prepbaseball 99% of baseball fans think they know the rules. They don't. You can make a play from the rubber to an unoccupied base if a runner is stealing. Fed rules are way more forgiving than OBR too, and a lot of baseball this age is played under Fed

@NixN1xx @HistoryWJacob You have no clue how violent the game is. A basic running play where everyone gets up to do it again, that would be the most violent thing yo ever happen to most people. They would miss a couple weeks of work. These guys get up to do it again 30 seconds later.

@NixN1xx @HistoryWJacob Because if we stopped using helmets, 1000+ people would die the 1st year and the game would go back to what it was in the 1950s. When 40 or so people were dying every year despite the game being slow. The game was also a fraction as popular as today... because of all the dying.

Okay, since you asked, here’s my American opinion. Soccer will never be as popular in America as football for 3 reasons: 1. The Fake Injuries Players are incentivized to flop because the other team is more likely to get a penalty. In football, it is the opposite. If a player has a real injury, play toughs it out and plays through it, it is seen as heroic. Americans like toughness and grit. 2. Chance Goals Many goals are scored by chance as opposed to skill. The chaos at the net when the ball is near is remarkable. Defenders blocking the goalie’s line of sight. The ball bouncing and ricocheting off of random body parts often determines if the ball goes in the net or out of bounds. In football, there are some elements of chance, but because players are allowed to use their hands, the points are primarily scored based on skill. Less is left to chance. Americans like control. 3. Low Scoring In football, it is still challenging to score, but it happens much more often. Also, every play has a chance for gratification and excitement: a first down, a big catch, a big hit, a sack, an interception, etc American like constant excitement.

@isaacrrr7 Fucking women grabbing at their man in situations like this drive me up a wall.

Un hombre de 68 años que estaba dando un paseo nocturno con su esposa fue atacado por un joven sin hogar, pero el anciano lo dejó inconsciente con solo 3 puñetazos demoledores.

@chrollosoll This happened in Colorado and the DA didn't pursue charges as he felt it met state law for self defense. A big factor was the man going for the gun rather than fleeing. Shooting someone in the back is justified in Colorado if the threat is deemed eminent so shoot quickly.

Is that considered as a self defense?

@PanterusPinkus @emkenobi So cutting govt spending is theft? Theft is the same as being a nazi? Again, the left is full of evil retards

@BearWithMe78 @emkenobi oh thats how you call it... i thought it was teft but OK if you say its spending

No we call you a Nazi because you did a Nazi salute multiple times.

@trulyobjective @tommysantos14 I love how retards post a graph and go drrr... The definition of vaccinated was completely different at various times on this graph. That little spike you see there in October, 96% of people over the age of 65 were vaccinated and the variant was still killing them.

@tommysantos14 Except thet manipulated the data to count every person who had a shot within 14 days as unvaccinated. This ensured everyone who died from the shot was counted as unvaccinated. This was done in the open.

Right, Adam. It's not like don't we have data showing the death rates among vaccinated versus unvaccinated during the pandemic. 🤡

@TheSaurus831 Mental retardation tests can take a while. I think you might have found a shortcut though. Show people your post and if they think Musk is a nazi, then they are officially retarded.

Elon spent weeks spiraling over a black woman being cast as a fictional character Tweeted that “white solidarity is the only way to survive” Did two obvious Nazi salutes on camera Grandfather literally founded canadas Nazi party Was raised in apartheid South Africa And the dumbest piles of shit you ever met will still swear he’s not racist

@_sn_n USAID has killed millions of people. Guess what was behind funding Wuhan viruses? Guess what was behind funding NGOs protesting Yanukovych in Ukraine? Etc. You fucking retard.

Republicans: We are the pro-life party Also Republicans:

@BBGreatMoments That's detached equipment, which is different. Decades ago I umpired a game where a kid laid down a perfect bunt. Pitcher jokingly threw his glove at the ball "to make it go foul", which it did. 3 bases later I found out you can be a cocksucker and never have sucked a cock.

I was today years old when I learned that catchers can balk too.

@SamAnne1219 You should know that. It's taking a shit so long it hits the water before completely exiting your ass.

@BearWithMe78 Yes. I have never been to a baseball game in my life. What’s a touchdown

Just a reminder not every baseball affiliated person’s views are not reflected by the more visible assholes. I’m a proud LGBTQ+ ally and there’s more of us out there than you’d think. But I agree baseball shouldn’t be for everyone; homophobic assholes should not be welcome.

@njdlauren That John Denver if full of shit man.

John Denver - a staunch progressive that actively fundraised his entire life for anti-war, poverty relief, and environmental protection - would hate guys like you lol

@UziCryptoo Boomers grew up with 5+ people living in a 1000 sq-ft home. That was the norm. You want to take over the homes that these boomers bought new, try enforcing immigration laws for once. You want new homes, cut the regulation way down. Or don't. IDGAF. It's your problem

BOOMER: “Stop renting. Build equity.” ME: “Down payment is $84,000.” BOOMER: “Save up.” ME: “I save $500 a month. That’s 14 years.” BOOMER: “Get a better job.” ME: “I make $72,000.” BOOMER: “We bought our first home at 24.” ME: “Rates were 3%. Price was $67,000.” BOOMER: “That’s not my fault.” I know. But you vote for the people who keep it this way. And then wonder why your kids won’t call.

@BBGreatMoments Bonds, Griffey, and Mantle. That way we can have Griffey and Bonds in the same outfield!

Choose your 3 outfielders.

@gman5180 A ton of people visit Chicago. This would be on my list too, right after historical cites like Washington Park. Provided I still had my wallet and my life, I'd head over to the library before checking out the Bean.

CNN claims most Americans plan to visit Obama's Presidential Center. 🤔 Is that true? ❓❓ Do you plan on visiting? ❓❓❓

@BBGreatMoments He had to run 100 feet before the over the shoulder catch. Anyone that knows that doesn't think it was overrated.

I cannot believe people call this catch overrated.
