@tyswhi19 For sure, then it becomes what does the umpire think/see.
You’d be amazed how many umps we’ve came across who didn’t know. I told pitchers, always chat with ump prior to outing, mention it.
@tyswhi19@russcanzler@prepbaseball 100.% agree that the pitcher in video balked. LHP can’t pick up front foot and step to first without throw
I was disagreeing that a pitcher can’t complete a pickoff move to an “unoccupied base.”
It’s a balk to pickoff to unoccupied base, unless there’s an attempt at a play.
@tyswhi19@russcanzler@prepbaseball But…also agree, video in question is balk. Pitcher steps toward first without throw. That’s def a balk.
If he inside moved and threw to base. Np, except for an umpire that doesn’t know the full rule.
@tyswhi19@russcanzler@prepbaseball False.
It is a balk to pickoff to unoccupied base….. (reads rule in entirety) unless pitcher is making attempt at a play at the base.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
@Thefactsdude@InsaneReality@washghost1 According to lawyer, said the player came over and told someone who berated him, to “suck my blanking ****.”

I get it, we don’t make pennies anymore. Totally fine. But if you owe me $0.02 and you don’t have pennies… that feels like a you problem, not a me problem.
My change at Walmart was supposed to be $1.57. Instead, I got $1.55. Will two cents ruin my day? No. Will I survive? Yes. But let me teach yall some math… If 50 people get shorted $0.02, that’s a whole $1.00. If it’s $0.04? Walmart makes $2.00. Now imagine how many times that happened today across the world.
I’m not usually a complainer on social media, but this rubbed me the wrong way. My money is MY money. I don’t care if it’s only two cents… it’s my two cents, and I’d like it back.
Here is the proof Epstein was a Russian asset:
- his girlfriend was the daughter of a Mossad agent
- one of his best friends was Israel's lawyer
- another of his best friends was a former Israeli prime minister
- he met with the current Israeli prime minister
- a senior Israeli spy would stay at his house for weeks at a time
- a friend invited him to bring his girls to Israel
- he fled to Israel when he was charged with sex crimes against a minor
- he was pictured wearing an IDF shirt
- he was funded by pro-Israel fanatics
- he worked for the Rothschilds
- he donated to pro-Israel student groups
- he was responsible for the Wexner group's "pro-Israel philanthropy"
- he supported Israeli settlement projects
- his friends were all Zionists
- he scathingly referred to non -Jews as "goyim"
- he was involved in Israeli diplomacy efforts
- he brokered security deals for Israel
- he aimed to profit from regime changes in the Middle East
- a former Israeli intelligence officer said he ran a honeypot for Israel
- his business partner confirmed he ran a honeypot for Israel
- one of his victims confirmed h ran a honeypot for Israel
As you can see, all of this was done for the benefit of Russia. There is no other explanation.
@rampulla_andrew Seems pretty reasonable from your end. I’m sure they knew beforehand the situation.
Wondering, what’s the average $/ft for installation? Does everyone lease, or are there clients who have their own?
