@capitolsquire @mr26743 @FourYonkos @SamRo makes you such an asshole.

@SolidPicks88 @BSO @gesticart @grok Is it legal to shoot someone in the back for the crime of carrying a loaded firearm while underage in SC? How about suspicion of theft? @grok

@coach_Haggerty @NWGAStormDawgwx @02slinger @NCAABaseball It was in Georgia's home field.

@Fatal_Bubbles7 @ScoringChanges The throw was ruled an error.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@The_Cubbie1998 @ScoringChanges I don't think there was a bobble. Looks like Triolo hesitates thinking he can apply a tag to the guy running to 2nd.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@Fatal_Bubbles7 @ScoringChanges Mental errors don't get scored as errors.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@The_Cubbie1998 @ScoringChanges Even if the throw is on target, Happ has a fair chance of beating it to first.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@Fatal_Bubbles7 @ScoringChanges An error should be charged if the average player can definitely make the play with ordinary effort. I think Happ has a good chance of beating the throw even if it's on target.

Our justice system should be begging this man for forgiveness.

Absolutely not getting enough attention: a green-card holder who has been in the U.S. since he was an infant was wrongfully convicted of murder and spent 40 years in prison for a murder he did not commit was detained by ICE Immediately after release.

@BaseballQuotes1 This is on the umpire. He calls the batter out, reverses it to safe, then just stands around and watches while everyone's clearly confused. Also, as soon as the catcher puts the ball in his pocket, it's a lodged ball—play is dead and runners advance two bases.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@BBGreatMoments In the MLB, that's a dead ball strike for stepping out more than once in an at-bat.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@CorderTodd @whitesox @Mariners @MLB Obstruction would have given the runner 3rd. Maybe home, if it were a close play.

This should have been called obstruction; runner is awarded third base and is put out attempting to advance home.

@realdanihgh @oldsoul314 @KevinWheeler94 @RicoBlaccIsBack Let's even back up it up a couple moments. Still we see a clear lane to the plate.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@realdanihgh @oldsoul314 @KevinWheeler94 @RicoBlaccIsBack Not only does the runner have a clear lane to the plate. The lane is even more clear if he slides.

@Packerfan123481 @hunterbonair In NFL replay, we're looking at actual video of the play. For ABS, we're looking a graphic of a computer's interpretation of where the ball was. The computer isn't always right.

@TheTomBurkeShow @micah_erfan I think NYC had a Mayoral election just last year. Couldn't say for sure, though. Not like they talk about that kind of local politics in the national news much.

@WaynePAYR @jjabbott @PASenateGOP Or perhaps the river that provides water to 5% of Americans is too important to let someone pollute it for profit.

[Zach Van Horn @nuclearzak]

@Killebrew5731 @BloggerTubbs @TwinsAlmanac Unwritten rules are important, because it shows that players can respect the game and their opponent without expectation of reward or punishment.
