MLB proposing change that would remove eligibility of HS baseball players for the draft
Is this brilliant idea from the Commissioner, Rob Manfred ? Because it has no way of being approved or voted "yes" by the owners. 30% of MLB rosters are comprised of internationally born players. Most organizations have scouts dedicated to finding young talent in the Central American countries. Kids as young as 16 yrs old are signed to contracts and brought up through each teams minor league farm system.
If MLB passes a law stating that athletes cannot sign until they complete their Sophomore year of college, will international baseball players be held to the same standards?
Teenagers from the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Cuba, or Puerto Rico who have the skills and talent to compete at the next level are NOT going to college. If internationally born baseball prospects can sign contracts with MLB teams at 16-18 years of age, then the American-born kids would be discriminated against according to this proposed rule.

I'd lean towards a 6.5 or 7PRC, which are flat shooting and accurate. On the downside, factory ammo will be harder to find and more expensive than something chambered in .270, .308, or 7mag.

1. Buy a pool pump seal kit and replace all the seals on your pump.
2. Could also be spider gasket of your filter.
The impeller could be damaged by rocks/debris, hair, leaves, etc., which could also be causing issues.
I'd do a complete overhaul with new parts and use proper silicon grease for the seals: Impeller Replacement Kit includes: 073127 Impeller × 1, O-ring × 1, Seal Plate Gasket × 1, Screw × 1, Seals × 2. Everything included for a quick, complete repair ... $15 - $40 on Amazon
re: Indian food in NOLA recommendations
Posted by Got Blaze on 6/10/26 at 11:06 pm to Legion of Doom
IMO, Nirvana is the best Indian restaurant in the city based on their food quality, consistency, plate portions, and over 100 menu options with 22 vegetarian dishes. Owned by the Keswani family who opened the first Indian restaurant (Taj Mahal - Metairie and Uptown Square) in the city 45 years ago.
The marinated & grilled lamb is easily the best lamb dish I’ve ever had. I usually order the chutney plate with samosas, saag paneer, lobster or shrimp biryani, butter chicken, and garlic naan. These dishes are shared between 3-4 people and I’m full.

Imagine having that clown arse take. I'd be embarrassed if I were him.
Dude's worth $30 BILLION and puts his money where his mouth is. He makes T. Boone Pickens at Okie State look dirt poor. Campbell is directly responsible for TT's recent success in recruiting and the women's SB team playing in the WCWS championship game 2 years in a row.
Had Sorsby signed with any other school (ND, ALA, USC, tOSU, MIA, etc...) , they too would be getting heat from the national media. Kid broke the golden rule of sports gambling, he bet on his own team. Every other person who did this was banned from the game.
Shofstahl has an excellent academic and athletic pedigree. His father attended UNC on a full-ride and was one of the top discus throwers in the ACC during the mid 90's.

What did you get?
Some original late 60’s concert playbills, concert posters, and a custom Jay Blakesberg photograph from GD50 Fare Thee Well - Santa Clara (gifted to Bill from Mickey)
If you’re a fan of the Grateful Dead and listen to their music, you’ll understand Bill Walton. Definitely a free spirited hippie (teenager in the late 60’s) who was extremely cerebral. Walton expanded his personal life experiences through music and mind altering psychedelics. I’ve met him before and seen him at dozens of GD concerts. Bill was a kind soul and left this earth way too soon b/c of cancer. I purchased several of Bill’s personal items sold at his estate sale.

But then again the way they blister the ball it doesn’t matter if the other team scores 14 runs on UGA, UGA will just score 16 runs
Georgia plays in a very “HR friendly” stadium which is why they led the NCAA in home runs. Charles Schwab Field is known as a "homerun graveyard" and is heavily pitcher-friendly.
The stadium faces southeast. Prevailing winds from the southwest tend to blow in and across the field, killing the carry of the ball.
UGA will not hit 3-4 HR’s per game in this ballpark. Left and right field are 20ft. further at CSF.

Should the challenge been ruled a Golden Knights goal?
Ref obviously lost sight of the puck under Andersen. Audio sounded like the whistle is blown AFTER the puck crosses the goal line. I thought it was a goal; however, I did not expect the call on the ice to get overturned during the reply. I agreed with Tortorella's challenge as I think they got screwed.
re: Proof Research PXT Barrel
Posted by Got Blaze on 6/4/26 at 8:36 pm to WeagleEagle
In 2008, I shot several gain twist barrels in NBRSA short range competition (100-200 yds 6PPC cartridge). Several competitors set world records for accuracy and won multiple championships. I was shooting 20” LV contour barrel, pushing 68 gr bullets 3,275 fps with the goal of a 1-hole group. It worked in benchrest competition, I have zero clue how it will work for the .300 BO shooting subs using a 10”-16” barrel.
IMO, PROOF is taking a 20+ year old concept and hyping/marketing it towards the subsonic shooting discipline. Next step, send barrels to magazine writers and social media influencers who will agree with PROOF’s claims.
I don’t think it’s snake-oil, just another manufacturers hype to increase profit and sales.

I played against CD during the mid-80's. My friend J. White was the QB who set many State and National passing records. Pretty sure he finished in the top 5 HS career passing yds. with 8200+ (1983?) He's currently around 850th on the same list. JW signed with Penn State and came home after 1-2 years
