Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24

So the lesson kids is to flop like a bitch to get the refs attention if they miss an errant arm that slaps your face.

I honestly didn't know they could review a blown call and apply a penalty in the past. I know about upgrading penalties, but not that.

Re: MLB Spring Training 2024

Sorry - I saw his right knee did go down, but it was after or around the tag (not the typical 75% of the bag taken up when the MI drops the knee while lowering his body to make the tag). The fact is Lindor was blocking the basepath as he positioned himself to field the ball. No longer allowed.

Re: MLB Spring Training 2024

Huh? What kind of rule is that? You can't block the bag if the ball is in the glove? So are they only supposed to do swipe tags now? And no more blocking the plate when the catcher has the ball? You can’t block the bag. Lindor’s knee went down, forcing the runner to the OF side. That’s out. SS/2B h...
