He asked that question because he disgraced the game. I'm trying to think of a baseball parallel, and the best I can come up with is a pitcher starting his delivery to the plate without having his foot on the rubber, and then pretending like he just felt like dancing to try and avoid a balk...but its worse than that because golf likes to pretend its a gentleman's game. Phil pretended that he did this ON PURPOSE to take a 2 shot penalty. He's lying about that, but that is actually worse than just completely losing his cool and keeping his ball from rolling off the green. This is Happy Gilmore level of non sense. He really should have withdrawn from the tourney. Yeah it's tough to compare it to another sports situation because it's 1) deliberately taking advantage of a rules loophole and 2) Golf specifically is self policing so nobody really looks for these kinds of loopholes, or at the very least, doesn't deliberately exploit them.
-
Nope, they got it exactly right. The rule people wanted them to use to DQ him explicitly states that if any other rule covers the violation, it takes precedence. In this case, hitting a moving ball is the violation, not attempting to stop a ball in motion. The real travesty is the idiot announcing crew having their panties in a wad over the whole thing and saying Mickelson will have to rebuild his reputation or whatever. just over the top nonsense. Regardless, they have a clear loophole that they need to fix. Because Lee Westwood is dead on right about this. [tweet] [/tweet]

This Phil Mickelson controversy is quite something. The USGA really dropped the ball from what it appears.

-
This seems even more debatable. But again...willing to learn. Are you arguing that Machado is a better 3rd baseman than Bryant?

Tim how do I delete all of the hearts I've ever given Sammy?

I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
Banedon replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I know it's almost a meme at this point to say "Heyward is fixed" and this may not last, but it's really great to see him figure it out, even if it's just for a stretch of a few weeks or whatever. He seems like a really great guy, and he really deserves the success. -
This is great. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-sports/video-compassion-shown-by-mounds-view-high-school-pitcher-is-sportsmanship-at-its-very-best

NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others
Banedon replied to Hairyducked Idiot's topic in General Baseball Talk
That's not his name....it's from a Keystone beer commercial campaign. -
Reports coming in that Ohtani needs Tommy John.
-
Len mentioned something...I think it was something about him having a really high slugging and really low OBP.
-
Phillies aren't helping us out any.
-
It's like Monty needs the challenge of baserunners to buckle down and pitch well today.

*Kris Bryant lowers strikeout rate, hits less homers* Cub fans: Why doesn't he hit more dongs!?!?!! *Javy leads the team in dongs and strikeouts* Cub fans: Why must he strike out so much???
-
Not really. We are bashing on the pitchers who throw him strikes. Does he strike out a lot or something? I hadn't heard. Nobody ever talks about it.
-
Oh good. This is the part of the game thread where we bash the guy leading the team in just about every major offensive category.
-
82mph knuckle curve on that strike 2 to baez per gameday. EDIT: And and 84mph knuckle curve to finish him off.
-
The first pitch to Rizzo was the first ball that Kuhl had thrown.
-
Yeah JD sounded really bad yesterday too. I'd rather he just had someone fill in tbh.
-
He has an injured finger.
