OT- Hagerstown going to LLWS

oh, boy....seems there was no pre=game on foul/fair coverage. usually hp has ball to cut or to the bag. but irrelevant. even though hp called ball fair,once 3b calls it foul---ball is dead; right or wrong. its dead, and foul. not sure how LL ruled call on field was fair---it cant be; unless there is some LL rule im not aware of. once a ball is called foul, its foul. imo replay should have been looking to overturn a foul ball---not a fair ball. its unfortunate. most of these guys umpiring just really dont have extensive training. LL needs to address this, and start making umpires who wish to work these games, to be certified, and attend training/clinics. with that said, t tip my cap to those guys. volunteering their time, on mostly 90% of their own dime. even then, that shouldnt happen. but tbh, thats more on LL than the umpires. once a ball is called foul---its foul. never should have been called fair as origibal call.
I agree with everything you say. I played baseball and coached for 14 yrs. It's a tough call to make because the HP ump has a better view of the foul line, but because of depth perception, the 3rd base ump has a better view of when the ball passed 3rd base. But the HP has the final call. The problem is that when the call was made, all eyes on the field were where the ball was at- at 3rd base...where the 3rd base ump is standing. No one is looking at the HP ump. The 3rd base ump called foul and everyone stopped. He screwed up.
the likelihood that we were from random chance is unfathomable... plenty of reasons to believe in a creator but that certainly is near the top of the list.
ummmm.... I understand chemistry/physics/biology all fairly well. Can't remember much calculus but doesn't fit into my daily life well.... explain the presence of the universe. If you can do that effectively I'll quit believing in my God.
Doesn't appear so, but If you wish to regard the presence of the universe or anything else to be proof of god/gods/demons/fairies/divinity or what have you, go for it - just don't imagine/pretend that it remotely represents a logical progression/conclusion.
More honesty in acknowledging ignorance than pretending one knows the answers. If one's worldview/ego requires an explanation for Creation, "god" is doubtless as serviceable a crutch now as it has been for tens of thousands of years in countless variations. But given that humanity as yet understands but a fraction of the universe (as our infinite capacity for manifesting individual/collective ignorance attests), would be a miracle indeed were there to be any actual apprehension/knowledge of its origin, and maintaining such, the ultimate expression of hubris in the cosmos. Well, maybe in this galaxy anyway...

Ain't self-hypnosis grand - 30,000-odd years and the narrative is still the same. Rock on.
Top of the 7th and Mighty Hagerstown has let 2 runs score with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. Need to get out of this jam and score some runs in the bottom of the inning.
Edit - Another run scores from 3rd on a ground ball with the hitter thrown out at 1st. Hagerstown now down 5-2 with 2 outs and a pitching change.
Single and then a fly out to short right ends the inning. 5-2 going to the bottom of the 7th.

Dang, Htown had bases loaded and NO OUTS in the bottom of the sixth and did not get a run in. Shoulda woulda coulda...
Hagerstown goes down in order to end the game and heads to the loser's bracket to play Mid Atlantic tomorrow at 3 on ESPN.
No idea what that's supposed to mean - sounds like an argument for faith over empiricism but I suspect you're trying to assert that not believing in god(s) is the same as "believing in nothing". Quite the non sequitur if that's the case.
Believing in no superior being just means believing that this entire universe just happened out of nothing…. Or it’s always been here. But where did it come from? The same arguments man has been having for millennia…. I respect atheists/agnostics for what y’all believe but I believe in a loving God who wants a relationship with us. I’ve never used religion for politics, warmongering, hate, etc….
No. Not even close. But were that the case, at some point a god itself would have had to have "just happened from nothing" as well. Not any difference, ergo really no need for a creator.
I can agree to disagree. Moving along now…. How bout them little leaguers?
