That is the new owner and the place he built. The new place is certainly out of place architecturally for the area, but seems to be nice and secluded....

Some back story and history of this place.
It was built by Mr. Slayter in the early 2000s directly across the street from one of the ritziest neighborhoods in town (insert your terrible Alexandria jokes here). It was built there because the neighborhood (Landmark) told him that the house was too ...

[quote]It was a dead ball when it hit him.[/quote]
It isn't suppose to be since he was stationed BEHIND the infielders. Had he been on the inside then yes that is umpire interference and the ball is declared dead.
However, in this case since the runner was no longer trying to advance (SS picke...

[quote]Okay, take a look at the first base line. The line on the right before the bag is the “out of play” line. You step out of that to avoid a tag and you’re automatically out.

[quote]I have written this a lot on TD, but I have the solution.
The home plate ump has an ear piece. The ear piece tells him instantly ball or strike using AI or whatever. He still gets to yell it out, still gets to use some flare for strike 3, etc. The players and fans in the stands would not n...

This is not even remotely true. Go back and look at MLB games from the 90s and then watch today... Umpiring has gotten much much better. That little box on the screen has fooled a lot of people into thinking umpiring is as bad...
