I don't get the anti-Israel hatred outside of being pro-Muslim.
The Palestinians never had sovereign control of that area before 1948. Israel has been attacked and gained territory through defending themselves.
Israel was attacked and is responding.
The only pro-Hamas viewpoint is that t...

Yes and due to no new information, people talked about parents and travel ball in regards to affecting a High School baseball program. Due to no new knowledge on the situation with Coach Hargess the thread evolved into a high school baseball program and how travel ball affects things. It is a normal...

Dude this thread has been about HS aged travel ball. I don’t know what you are talking about. You are so blind to all travel ball negative talk that you just don’t understand context at all. ...

This is a non story. I'm a baseball guy. It is known from 10 year olds up that pitchers cannot have white on the glove or white sleeves.
I'm all for America but this is really a nothingburger. ...

[quote]high school ball will always matter more to the average kid that won't play past 12th grade, but kids with legitimate chances of playing at the next level (and their parents) want to play where theyll be seen by the most talent evaluators.[/quote]

[quote]Rhetorical question: How have pitchers suddenly become this dominating not to allow hits strung out in one inning?[/quote]
I know it is rhetorical but pitchers are getting velo training at a young age. It is a ticking time bomb on the arm but the ones who used to be 83-85 are not 92-94 and...

Pitchers are really really good. And the White Sox farm system has been awful for years.
Also MLB GM's are trying to find guys that hit for power. The mindset is pitchers are too good to get 3 hits in an inning to score a run so you have to hit doubles/ HRs to score. The downside of that is you ...

[quote]and I think this is for the illusion of exclusivity.[/quote]
Travel ball ages 9-13 should be for the top 10%-15% of kids in an age group. The issue is rec ball only has scraps left because 80% of kids are now playing travel ball. If some of these areas would work to develop rec ball and ha...

[quote]I get it, and I believe it. But I also understand this, the district championship won’t pay for a dime of college.

As a teacher, the main concern parents have is unstable teachers carrying guns. But the whole thing is that you must have a conceal carry permit which takes training to carry in a school. These are people that are experienced. I don't see how this is a bad thing. ...

I’m about 2 hours in. Tuckers seems to believe that pre 1945 civilizations had it right that these are spiritual beings. Some are good and some are bad. Think light/dark.
The AI discussion was a good one. It’s a big issue to Rogan and Tucker agrees.
Fascinating interview so far. ...
