    Pitch counts in baseball and analytics. Twins pitcher was pulled last night with a no hitter going because the manager thought he had thrown too many pitches.

    Have another rant even though the youngsters will think I am a old bitter man. I love and support women hunters, we as sportsman need them. The whole I shot a buck then put on my jewelry and makeup and did my hair to take a picture to put on social media is as fake as their breasts. Vanity and social media.

    Would think if you had somebody that comes to your buisness you'd show up on time. When got here Monday they said they start around 9 and all week it hasn't been the case. Today its 940 and still hasn't showed up.

    Timeliness is extremely important to me. Especially when $ is on the line.

    Yea pretty much. I mean I don't care when somone that runs a buisness wants to start their day. But think if you have someone coming from another state to work for a week maybe you show up on time.

    Relying on statistics when they override common sense, sucks the soul of out sports. How dumb.

    Yesterday my wife was driving home and a rock chipped her windshield. It was a small “star” chip.

    Today she went to SafeLite at Jonesboro, AR (2 hours away) to have the chip repaired.

    She just called me and she was absolutely livid. In the process of trying to repair the crack they did something and made it a 12” long crack.

    Now they have to order a new windshield which won’t be there until 3 October and we have to pay the $500 deductible to have the windshield replaced.

    To my wife’s way of thinking if the SafeLite tech made the crack worse and unrepairable we shouldn’t have to pay and oh my, she let them know it. Not in a “Karen” way but in a retired Navy Senior Chief way.

    I’m not absolutely sure she’s right though. According to our insurance, USAA, some cracks like that aren’t repairable and this happens.

    Either way, my wife is pissed. I’m kinda glad I’ll be on my way to hunt when she gets home. :lol:

    I am redoing the floor and replacing the seats on the go fast boat. I found seats that the colors match the boat. They only sell them in 2 packs I need 3 seats.

    The people that still like baseball want to see things like no hitters, it's still a big deal to the fans. Fans at the game booed the decision.

    Rightly So! And, I'll bet the pitcher was a tad 'upset' too.
