@TracyDodgersFan@DMAC_LA And the other point to what @stephena013 said is also true:
Easy to “trade” for superstars when your farm system is so massive, due to the endless resources you can pump into it (that no other club can)
Quit pretending it’s about better management
It all comes back to more $$
@Brashnotboring@JoshDubowAP Your handle is quite apropos.
Cause the OP was calling out what was, at-best, a half-truth.
And you wholeheartedly endorsed it.
@StacieMWheeler@JJChise Please
Dodgers’ success has 100% come from the $7B+ cable deal *only* they had access to. Since then, they have missed the playoffs ZERO times
Your argument is they’re spending that money
The rest of the world’s argument is that no other team has that kind of money to spend
@JackiePlashkes@MattAll87731579 And… those same un-balanced resources enable them to out-spend anyone else, not just at the major league level, but at all levels.
Which leads to a much deeper prospect pool. Giving them the resources to constantly trade prospects for players like Glasgow and Skubal.
@JackiePlashkes@MattAll87731579 How many playoffs have the Dodgers missed since signing their $7B+ TV deal in 2013?
Yes, in a 3 or 5 game series, a less talented and smaller-budget team can eke out a series win.
But over the course of 162 games, those resource imbalances create an uneven playing field.
@SDwyerEsq It 100% is fake news. Ground *can* cause a fumble.
If a runner (who has established possession) is untouched by an opponent, trips and lands on their face with the ball hitting the ground and coming loose, it IS a fumble
You need to be “down by contact” for that adage to apply.
@sup3r_mario11@HighlanderProbs The NFL rulebook explicitly considers the wrist part of the hand, not part of the forearm.
If the hand (or wrist) contacts the ground, the runner is *not* down by contact. Those parts of the body are allowed to contact the ground and the play is still live.
Per the NFL rules.
@TheRealJRealer@MyNameisJeffC@SwipaCam lol - the only thing you CAN tell in this frame is that his *entire* forearm is definitely NOT down.
You can’t actually if *any* part of his forearm is down.
@habibiting@NFLOfficiating They are looking at opposite sides of the play for a reason.
Back judge could have easily seen contact to warrant a flag that is not seen from the front: Jersey tug, shove in the back, lots of things.
It’s not “who has the better view?”
@montana91145@hit_rate@RGIII@OuttaPocketRG3 Side judge can’t question what the back judge saw on the opposite side of the play
Jersey tug, shove in the back, lots of things the back judge might have seen to throw a flag. Another ref can’t overrule it from the opposite angle
I don’t think it was PI, but that don’t matter
@pkjspjtkc6@RealSapan@RGIII@OuttaPocketRG3 I don’t think it was PI.
But at the same time, side judge can’t question what the back judge saw on the opposite side of the play.
Jersey tug, shove in the back, lots of things the back judge might have seen to warrant that flag.
@RealSapan@RGIII@OuttaPocketRG3 It was the ref behind the play who threw the flag.
Not saying it was a good call, just that the ref in the frame didn’t call it PI.
@will_nba_hater@RealTrabbsBoy Then be articulate if you don’t want people to mis-interpret.
“ABC refuses to air Democratic *and Republican* senate candidate interviews. (so they broadcast only the Democrat interview online)”
FIFY
@Maxwell1995Vjjo@theblockspot Yeah… the 40+ yard dime to Robinson, the scramble to buy time with a seed to Deebo were pure dink-and-dunk.
Dunked on the Rams is what he did.
