@TDavis0903 At very top of screen I can see the services i subscribe to…to the right of home, movies, etc. Click on marquee. Then below the first set of tiles there is a watch live 24/7 box. This is on a smart tv (LG) so your mileage may vary.

@ofcwrigleyfield @Cubs I get Marquee through Prime Video. Looks good, audio good, but one thing pisses me off, and tonight a good example. There's no live video, the games are like renting a movie, you have to find the game tile and forget logging in early or during a delay like this, not live. Sucks!

@tangotiger Use the rules to solve problems, not create them.

Tangotiger 🍁@tangotiger·29 Nis

Agreed totally I said this in the past: When you let the rules dictate the game (rather than the game you want having rules to support it), you end up going away from the game you actually want

Bill James Online@billjamesonline

The magic in baseball, in basketball, any sport really, is in the DESIGN of the game, not in the RULES of the game. The rules need to be fixed constantly or they will fall behind the time and undermine the product.

@crimsonace Having money I always thought the Cubs would win one eventually. I honestly never thought I would see an IU football championship. Unreal.

Andrew Smith@crimsonace·20 Oca

The greatest story in the history of college football. This is unbelievable. These guys just kept finding a way. They’re now champions. #IUFB

My year 11 home portion of @NPHSDragons and @NPCoachRalph football ends with a semi-state championship. Pulled the press box grand slam working PA, play clock, game clock and scoreboard during this season. Thanks to @charliemcatee and @Alter__Ego24 for being great partners.

@crimsonace Magic number 8 to host round 1 of the playoffs (if i did my math right and remembered the format).

English

Andrew Smith@crimsonace·17 Eyl

One more for the #Cubs. (The Magic Number is 1, but they cannot clinch tonight because the teams chasing them are tied with each other and play each other tonight, so one will win).

See you tomorrow 👀

@crimsonace @themikepetry I remember that one. A 1 iron through the wind that had us all wondering what just happened.

English

Andrew Smith@crimsonace·6 Eyl

@themikepetry Yes. Also hit one of the most bizarre FGs I've ever seen - a line-drive 40+ yarder that never got more than 15 feet off the ground and cleared the crossbar by about six inches - to beat New Pal in the 2017 sectional.

Mike Petry@themikepetry·6 Eyl

Former Hoosier, correct?

Zak Wolf@ZakWolf22

Chris Freeman knocks home the 40-yard field goal. We're heading to overtime tied at 20.

Dennis Goodman@BetterRuleBook·1 Eyl

@LanceMcAlister My brain immediately went to Schwarber. He has 26 games at C including his debut. But I am guessing the answer is lower than this.

Wonder what the MLB record is for fewest career games played at a position that a player made his MLB debut at? #Reds

Thoughts and condolences to the Kingery family. Mandy was on music for my first 2 years on the mic for @NPDragonsSball. She did an amazing job and we quickly became friends over silly jokes between innings. Hold your people tight, folks.

@FDividivitch @BleacherNation All pride aside…you honestly think the center of his body moved greater than 3ft after the tag was attempted? Also, your step and reach would only apply if fielder and runner started on same plane…willson was 2 feet from him when he took a step.

English

Fred Dividivitch@FDividivitch·7 Tem

@BetterRuleBook @BleacherNation The base has absolutely nothing to do with the tag attempt, but then again, I went to a better umpire school than you did. Professional umpires determine that a "step & a reach" and still not able to tag the runner is "out of the baseline". Tough/close call, but correct!

English

Bleacher Nation@BleacherNation·7 Tem

Yeah, this is just wrong. The rule - as it relates to going to the right of the running lane - is that you can't do it in order to interfere with a throw. You *CAN* do it to avoid the fielder. Because obviously.

Talkin' Baseball@TalkinBaseball_

Ian Happ and Craig Counsell weren't pleased with Happ being called out of the baseline on this play that put the Cubs up 6-0

@FDividivitch @BleacherNation From the Wendlestedt manual…no way the center of his body moved 3 ft after the tag attempt. He was still able to touch the base!

English

Fred Dividivitch@FDividivitch·7 Tem

@BleacherNation You're being biased, & I'm a Cub fan as well. But as an umpire, to determine that if a runner is out of the baseline, if the fielder takes a step and reaches towards the runner and still can't apply a tag, THAT is how you determine they are too far out. Does that make sense?

My last game of PA for @NPDragonsSball was a banger. Congrats on the sectional championship! My season 5 is over but the girls have more work to do. Thanks to @CoachEdMarcum and @NPHSDragons for allowing me the privilege of announcing these awesome athletes and coaches!

@themikepetry @LanceMcAlister And draft grades are ridiculous in real time. Grade the draft 3 years later when you know if the people have produced.

Mike Petry@themikepetry·28 Nis

@LanceMcAlister I think what wears me out is not the opinions, but the absolute certainty in those opinions, along with the knowledge that no one gets held to account for either bad predictions or evaluations.

@ThingsGetDicey A deduction game asks you if Col. Mustard did it...a social deduction game asks if your friend is Col. Mustard (who we already know did it).

Trying to come up with a good way to describe the difference between Deduction games and SOCIAL Deduction games? How would YOU describe the difference?

@KyleNeddenriep @jimgavin The football spirits in New Pal are so accustomed to Mr. Gavin's dulcet tones that when missing this year, they plagued us with a lighting induced no-contest and a hurricane delayed Saturday tilt.

Still do a double take when I see Kyle Ralph's record at New Palestine: 140-14.
