The vibes-based "I know it when I see it" system of umpires determining if a swing was successfully checked or not is actually fine — a time-tested and effective solution to an annoying problem — and anyone trying to write a new rule to make it "objective" is a sicko who should not be trusted.

Just started answering all these spam calls with “don’t call me” and they hang up. We’ll see if the frequency starts to drop.

I am getting dozens of calls a day, it is unhinged. I’m fairly certain it’s mainly because I’m unemployed & also on a shitty marketplace plan. My phone number is out there and I am getting targeted for things like scammy supplemental medicare plans & end-of-life costs and diabetic needs scams.
