if a team wants to beat that pitch clock rule to give their pitcher more time all they have to do is have the catcher take more time before he throws the ball back

there's no clock on the catcher throwing the ball back

Interesting. Asking….. if the pitcher does not catch the return throw from the catcher, does the clock start when he ‘should’ have caught it, or when he actually picks it up?

Also, what recourse does an umpire have if the catcher has chosen not to throw the ball back to the pitcher in a ‘timely’ fashion?

Knicks legend Willis Reed passed at 80 today.

I’ll always remember madison square garden in 1970…

My first basketball was a Willis Reed model. It's a shame his knees betrayed him. RIP

Knicks Mets Jets (almost Rangers) was my childhood sports upbringing in 1969-1970. I was a Frazier fan the most, but the limping Reed is a forever moment.

Changing topic…. I need Oregon to beat Wisconsin. I’ve tried to watch the game but the court is SO ANNOYING! SOme bastardization of tan and brown in a messy pattern.

So watching WBC instead. Vaunted US lineup looks like minor leaguers against Japanese pitchers I haven’t heard of. One was a 20 year old kid. Two more innings to fix it.

Caitlin Clark whose Iowa team in the Elite 8 is the only Division 1 player ever to lead in p.p.g. with 27 and assists with 8

she's accurate from way, way out there - in this vid I'm estimating some of her shots are 35 feet out

really, really, impressive

I believe the Big Ten has three teams in the Elite Eight. I went to school at U of Iowa so I will be rooting for them. Clearly South Carolina is the best team and I think that is undeniable.

It is hard to believe it has been seven years since UConn won a championship after the dominance they have shown over the last 20 years.

The total for the Creighton-SDSU game is 133. Sounds low to me but I know they both have good defenses.

I like Texas +4.5 and over 133 in SDSU game. The wise money will be betting against me.

Who wouldn’t like the favorite getting 4.5 points?

LOL! I meant Miami +4.5 but I am always looking for an advantage if I can find one.

Yeah....argggh.

I'm spoiling for an argument over the officiating in that Creighton game.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.
