Das Texan Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Looks like Das was right again. Regardless, whether its 3 or 4 teams, it still says plenty and makes the meme kinda fucking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have easily just been a reference to this year where they were great in September and then got knocked out in 1 game in October. Doesn't have to relate to franchise history.

SilverBullet Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 There was no year zero but you should include the zero in the count of a decade because when one talks about, for example, the 90s, they're including the year 1990. The year 2000 is in the 2000s, not in the 90s, so I think the 2000 should count in this question above . This century started with the year 2000, not the year 2001. It's not the same as counting things. The zero counts. The year you were born you were less than a year old but the year itself counts in your life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's accurate enough every year after 2011, if they had any championships over the last decade then it would be a bad meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First century - Year 1-100 AD Second century Year 101-200 AD And so far. So the 20th century was Year 1901-2000 AD 21st century has been 2001 - now AD. You can all anything you want a decade technically. Any 10 year consecutive period is a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know what happened/what play you're referring to, as I haven't watched any baseball in months, but it's the Rays, the league won't care. If the roles were reversed and the Red Sox got hosed, there'd be a press conference and the rule changed the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the roles were reversed and the Red Sox got hosed, there'd be a press conference and the rule changed the next day. During the regular season, absolutely. This, however, happened on a national stage. The rule changes occur under two circumstances. 1. National Stage 2. High-Profile Player / Team My examples, and I'll admit some "apples to oranges" stuff here. First for #2: No more home plate collisions. Buster Posey getting injured was the catalyst for this. Catchers got trucked for years, got hurt, and said "it's part of the game." Nowadays, young, high-profile star on a team that just won the World Series gets hurt? "We better change the rule." Brett Hayes got absolutely hammered in September of 2010 (ya know, the reason we went after Nyjer Morgan!). Nobody cared. "Part of the game." Now example for #!: Sliding rules into bases. For years and years and years, takeout slides occurred at second base to prevent double plays. Players got injured for many years. "It's part of the game." Chris Coghlan slides hard into second and breaks Jung Ho Kang's leg in September of 2015. "Well that's unfortunate." Chase Utley slides hard into second and breaks Ruben Tejada's leg in the NLDS, a national stage. "WE HAVE TO CHANGE THIS RULE, NOW." In the NFL, it's similar. Patriots vs Chiefs in the AFC Championship a few years ago. The rule hasn't yet changed, but it got everyone talking - Patriots won the coin flip, marched down the field and scored a touchdown. Mahomes didn't get a shot to try and tie it. For years and years and years, it was simply, "it sucks ... but it's how the game goes." As soon as this happened in a game where the winner gets to go to the Super Bowl, AND against a young and high profile superstar, "maybe we should change this rule ..." This will, at the very least, get a lot of discussion this off-season, and "how can we make this better?" It's a play that should involve umpire discretion. Here's the play in question: Yandy Diaz started at first base and was already at third base by the time the ball bounced over. That's where the umpires ended up putting him. He would have very obviously scored on this, because he was on the run with the pitch as well. Kiermaier would have possibly ended up at third but wouldn't have been the worst thing ever if they placed him at second. This really needed to be an "umpire's discretion" situation.

It'd be nice to have a synced up view to show where he was when the ball went over, but at the very least he looked to be at least halfway between 2nd and 3rd already by the time the ball had landed, at which point I think he should be given 2 bases from where he was when it went out, which would be scoring. Had he not passed second when it went over, I'd be ok with putting him at 3rd, because you can't assume he'd have scored from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
