How the gently caress does a current player not know the rules about beating throws at first?

I guess they were just teasing us, building the Sipp anticipation.

Hinch has made some really questionable bullpen decisions this season, pretty much the one aspect of the game where the manager has a real impact on the outcome

Yeah the two tensest moments I've had was having 3k in a pot in NLHE and watching Game 6 2011 and I'm not sure the 3k wins that.

Playoff hockey is the closest thing I think, but even after being in DC for 5 years and following the Caps I still don't know that much about hockey, other than I like it but not enough to obsessively follow like football.

Yea I love hockey too and it gets close to the same thing but with different vibes. Both very unique feelings for the sports.
