  - It's the 9th time he's had a clock violation. He's too slow and it's on him to pitch quicker. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 06:44
  - but then you're saying the rule doesn't matter if it's important enough - Reagen Jun 23, 06:43 5
    - If the purpose of the rule is to speed up the game, you’re not losing that by turning off the clock with bases loaded - znufrii Jun 23, 06:52 2
      - Given he failed to pitch timely, I’m doubting he didn’t have a quicker tempo. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 06:53 1
        
        Oh noes, a slow closer, the game will be a whole ten seconds longer! Teh horror! -- nm* - znufrii Jun 23, 06:57

Air fryer report! Left over pizza: A+; Frozen fries: A++. How has no one ever told me how great air fryers were? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 22, 21:32 9
- when you cut up fresh potatoes, and not use frozen, all the good recipes say to par boil them for 5 minutes before putting the air fryer. -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 22, 23:04 3
