Thanks. I didn't know that the instance described in the article is what prevented the perfect game.

As for the rule in the article, I'm indifferent to it. It's a part of the game I've come to expect.

The way I think about it, is that if the catcher can't catch the ball, or there's a wild pitch, on the 3rd strike, then it's like a potential error. Sometimes the catchers can still recover the dropped ball, then throw to first.

But when they can't, then there is a base runner.

@MHSL82, why didn't you tell me the MLB had 2 All-Star games from 1959 - 1962?


Because of that, Willie Mays played in 24 All-Star game in 22 years.

Go to "All-Star games" at the bottom, and expand that panel.

Now I know you're editing my posts and putting these links in there.

What did this post used to say?


Haha, what are you talking about? Just kidding, I tried to make it obvious. I was worried that it was going to be a long time before you had a “why didn’t you tell me” post, because I wanted a trifecta but felt guilty if you didn’t find out quickly. I just duplicated the above post and then changed it, didn’t touch the original. I mostly don’t know the things you tell me I didn’t tell you.

Why does it keep the same timestamp, when you duplicate a post?

Seriously speaking, if sackataters and I switched usernames without telling you but continued to write in our styles (but not about the same things as we normally do - i.e. no Alex Smith rants from me posting as sackataters), how long would it take for you to tell the difference?

Same question, but assume we were trying to fool you. Sackataters (posting as MHSL82) would be pumping up Jeremy Lin and Alex Smith and I would be talking about ghost towns and Mo Williams over Tinsley. Sackataters (as MHSL82) would be writing long, sometimes statistic gibberish that aren't that sound and heavily based upon opinion and with always the conclusion that he wants John Stockton PGs. How long?

I guess we got the answer as to how long it would take for me to find out if if it was you posting as me. It took me 2 days and 3 fabricated posts.

Although you were posting as yourself in two of the posts, but with artificial content.

Those had just plain links, though.

In the 3rd one, you added a sentence, in addition to the link. That was more obvious.

I think you knew there were two Hansbroughs before I did, and that 20 second timeouts were actually longer, before I did.

I just kept on believing they were 20 seconds, especially when they would have sponsored segments for those timeouts.

Tissot was a sponsor for a few TNT games. So then they'd show a Tissot clock winding down from 20 seconds, during those 20 second timeouts.

I wanted it obvious because that was your post. On mine, I just shared links.

But, maybe I could have still missed it.

Or I could have caught it, but played along, to see how many more of these you would do.

Now we won't know what would have happened in those alternate scenarios.

Any credit for me finding your 2013 post about switching usernames but posting the same content, and seeing if I would have figured it out?

Maybe you could have posted about watching a Jazz game with your "Dad" (instead of @Sackataters' son) and making funny French accents.)

So this was the first game that I actually got to watch live this year and it was pretty bad. I mean, it was ridiculously horrible. The guys were consistently getting late into the shot clock and just throwing up hail marys to the rim. Enes was able to knock a few down early. The Nets were daring Jamal to shoot, laying way off of him. He shot and missed by and large. Favors still looks raw to me and I doubt he will ever be a go-to guy in the paint. Hayward looked okay, but not like a 15 million dollar a year man to me. We turn the ball over with abandon. People look lost. There was a lot of emphasis on defense in training camp and preseason, but one couldn't tell by this game.

In short, I don't think Im missing too much by not catching the live games. Our PG play is really horrible. When Trey gets into the game, Ill be more interested and start setting the DVR. We need some kind of general out there, so best to get his development going.

The only fun I found myself having was when Rudy Gobert was in the game. He didn't do a lot, but you can see how awesome he could be. The kid just dwarfs everyone. My son and I were laughing, making in game commentary with a french accent with his every move.

Sounds fun. :)

I can just imagine you sitting in the corner watching them. Smiling with your hands together. Creepy. Just kidding.

Bravo. Though you could have just edited the quote. Just kidding.

I felt like changing mine was just a joke. Changing yours obviously would be teasing. I think changing yours where you wouldn’t find out would be unethical.

I can't edit quotes, in the new board format. No post that I'm quoting.

Well, unless I go to "Toggle BBC Mode".

There's always a clue, I just have to find it.

That was one of your best posts, imagining having you post about Radiator Springs, and having @Sackataters post about Jeremy Lin.

Here were his fouls:

8:33.0 24-30 Personal foul by R. Gobert (drawn by B. Lopez)
8:31.0 24-30 Shooting foul by R. Gobert (drawn by B. Lopez)

7:36.0 24-31 Personal foul by R. Gobert (drawn by B. Lopez)

1:07.0 61-84 Personal foul by R. Gobert (drawn by J. Terry)

0:41.0 61-84 Shooting foul by R. Gobert (drawn by M. Plumlee)

6:39.0 71-93 Shooting foul by R. Gobert (drawn by S. Livingston)



Charge drawn:

7:36.0 24-31 Offensive foul by B. Lopez (drawn by R. Gobert)


Wait, how can both Lopez and Gobert commit fouls at 7:36?

7:44.0 24-31 Defensive rebound by B. Lopez
7:36.0 24-31 Personal foul by R. Gobert (drawn by B. Lopez)
7:36.0 24-31 P. Pierce enters the game for A. Kirilenko
7:36.0G. Hayward enters the game for J. Lucas III 24-31
7:36.0 24-31 Offensive foul by B. Lopez (drawn by R. Gobert)
7:36.0 24-31 Turnover by B. Lopez (offensive foul)

Unless you think the offensive foul by Lopez occurred on an inbounds play, so that's why the time was still 7:36.

Why didn’t you tell me Kirilenko played in Minnesota and Brooklyn, @nuraman00 ?
