Subject: Re: Rules are rules, but... Author: Bengal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:16:48 04/05/24 Fri In reply to: Go Green 's message, "Rules are rules, but..." on 09:52:48 04/05/24 Fri Focus on this: these are Ivy League coaches during the game. Maybe not the worst offense, although, with due respect to the DP, we don’t have IL report/statement on what exactly happened, but a written rule. A disappointment.

Perhaps they didn't know the rules.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Still wondering how this helps... Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:07:55 04/05/24 Fri Knowing that the pitcher throws (generally) 90 with his fastball and 76 with his changeup doesn't mean much if you don't know which pitch is coming next. And even without the exact MPH measurement, guys can see perfectly well in the dugout that a pitcher can really bring heat.
