He also seemed genuinely excited to be picked by the Ravens too.

2 calls stick out in my head from the game last night. 1. The called strike on Gunnar when he checked his swing. There was no way he saw where the check swing stopped....and wouldn't ask third for help. 2. Soto was pitching to Woods in the bottom of the 8th and had a pitch that was a little higher than exact center of the zone, which led to a walk. walked. I know that the O's problems are much deeper than the umps, but these are calls that can't be missed and were game-changing calls. MLB needs to get to a spot where video review can be used to help correct these issues.

What are the chances that the Wiz do the right thing and hire Mike Malone or Taylor Jenkins? Need a proven winner of a coach in there. I hoped they hired Tom Thibodeau when he was available before the Knicks signed him.

During the dribble, there is no "Gather" in Highschool or College. It is about when the Pivot is established. Once established, it cannot be picked up and returned to the floor. In Queen's case, it looked as if he established the pivot, took a step and then returned the pivot to the floor as he was shooting. It was close, but he also did the same on a few of his drives. If they let it go earlier in the game, they weren't going to call it there. When a player receives a pass, they can also travel by lifting the pivot before dribbling. You can only pass or shoot once you lift the pivot before dribbling. For those of you interested, it's covered under rule 4-44 in the NFHS Rulebook, and as far as I know, the rule is also applied at all college levels.

Queen traveled a few times earlier in the game. Once they let him do that, they weren't going to make that call. They also had a lot of interesting calls/no-calls which could have changed the game earlier on. Ayers had a decent game officiating, the other two didn't.

Was in Austin for work the since Monday. Cedar pollen is no joke. Had to take a sick day to recover.

A lot of calls went Michigan's way yesterday. And they missed A LOT of travels on Michigan that led to points in the early 2nd half as well.

Reacher season 3 started last night. Hope to watch some this weekend.

I see rogue flurries now here too.

They actually looked good. Played with passion and had fun on the court. Once Middleton gets there, it will go back to normal. We need that #1 pick.

Agree. Even if Luca is not in always in top shape, he still does more for a team than AD will. Plus they were in the finals last year. Really puts the Lakers in a better position and can maybe extend Lebron's career until his other son is drafted by the Lakers in 2 to 3 years :-)

Look at all us Ravens fans and Harbaugh :-) On another note, if it snows Sunday and there is no school on Monday, how many are closed on Tuesday because there was no maintenance crew onsite Monday to clear the sidewalks and parking lots?

Hope not. I have 5 games.

Yes.....about a mile before and a mile after rt. 91

I lived about a mile from where PSU now lives. Had to commute to the Metro to go to working Baltimore. I remember snow drifts along rt. 30 that were almost as tall as the telephone/power lines where the snow blew from the open fields.

Thx!

Been wanting to ask this question about the new Euro AI model. Isn't it just the Euro "Next Gen" version? Aren't all of the models calculates using AI? Not trying to Nitpick, but I feel that that term is really overused and don't see the difference with a computer model other than some of the inputs and updated calculations.

RAK and Idiom. Someone has been spending time in Frederick :-)

Exactly! Post Covid, I've been WFH since we went through a merger and closed down the Columbia office. It is convenient and cheaper, but I do miss the daily banter you get while in an office. I also find that I get online earlier in the morning, and pop in more often each night than before.

Yep. First night back. I have JV and Varsity in Frederick tomorrow night. Hopefully we can get them in because this month is packed and rescheduling is going to be a mess.

I saw that he auditioned to be the new drummer for Primus a few weeks ago. Not sure if that was a gag, or a dream gig, but would be pretty cool to see him play with them on their upcoming tour.

@midatlanticweather, you forgot Sun Angle.

Little bit of thunder as this line is forming right to my west.

Saw the same thing here while walking the dog.

Earthquake off the coast of California....Tsunami alert. Hopefully nothing big.
