This guy showed some major guts!

I'll probably need to brush up on my baseball rules understanding, but why did the commentator say "having tied this game if he can get around" and he then said "Justin Green wanting to help but he's not allowed to do so"?

The guy just hit a homerun, and I understand the he has to touch all the bases, but let us assume the guy breaks his leg and he really can't get around.. what do they do?  Take away the home run?  sounds stupid if that is the case.. I really hope someone with baseball knowledge can chime in on this.. or what about not being allowed to help him.. why not??  The guy just hit a damn home run.. getting around the bases at this point is a damn formality if you ask me.. the guy is hurt.. what the *)$% is the deal with him getting some help (if he wanted it that is.. I know he sort of waved people away not wanting help, but that is not what I'm commenting on)..

Anyway.. this guy sure loves the game to do what he did IMO!

I know he sort of waved people away not wanting help, but that is not what I'm commenting on)..

Anyway.. this guy sure loves the game to do what he did IMO!

Several years ago - I believe it was 2000 - Robin Ventura hit a famous " grand slam single " to end a big playoff game for the Mets.  The bases were loaded, the game was tied, and he launched one over the fence.  As soon as he crossed first base, the entire team came out of the dugout and mobbed him because they had won the game as soon as the guy on third base scored.  And because he (or the other two runners) never touched home plate, then they didn't score.  The official ruling for the play was a single with one RBI.

It is basically a formality (its not like anybody could tag him out) but it does have to be done.  And nobody that is not already on the field can come on the field to help him, that's for certain.  (There are rules in place prohibiting runners from even being touched by their third base coach during the course of the play)  However, I don't see any reason why a good sport on the other team couldn't help him.  (He was actually gesturing towards second base or shortstop when it looked like he was waving somebody off, so maybe one of those guys was the one offering)

I'm also wondering if there was, say, a runner on first, if he could sort of wait for him and then help him around (and then make sure to touch each base before the batter did ;)) the bases legally.

I'm watching these just hoping someone gets squished underestimating how fast 200 mph is. :-)

They should just put a tee on their mouth, and they can get some idea how fast 80-120mph can be. Of course, we need two more people so the golfer can stand on their faces so the lie angle is not screwed up or anything. :-D

I'm amazed the camera doesn't move at all with this big huge heavy thing coming just over it at 200mph.

This reminds me of my first Algebra test. There were 20 questions and I answered all 20 of them just by figuring out the answer in my head. I got up and turned in my paper in about 10 minutes. As the minutes ticked by and nobody else in the class was handing in their papers I wondered how they could be so stupid.

The next day when we got our grades I had a "0% F" in red at the top of the paper. :bugout: I had every single answer correct but didn't show how I got the answer.

BTW I hated math from that day forward until some college math courses I took a couple of years ago. They did a much better job of actually teaching me math than my teachers did years ago and finished both courses with "100% A" for each semester.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
