3. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
   
4. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 36 hours please PM me or post in the thread to declare V/LA.
   
5. I reserve the right to force replace players who need extensively long V/LA at my own discretion.

The rule to remove the "L-term" only really makes it mandatory for me as the moderator to use the term eliminate.

While I cannot force anyone to actually follow this rule, it would be preferred, given the rather charged discussion when the rule went into effect, that you consider the connotations of any words you use, including those which are terms in the game. This is a good rule of thumb for everywhere.

[brassherald]

Since I am present and want to make this extremely clear, this will not become a thread where we will be extensively discussing the etymology of what the mods did to change the rules, nor will it be to discuss whether you agree with said rules.

Please continue with the game, and not a further discussion of that rule.

[brassherald]

In 2019, Pete Alonso and Eugenio Suarez combined to hit 102 homeruns, the top two in the league. In the COVID shortened 2020 season, the top 2 players hit a total of 35 home runs, you would need to add in 4 of the 6 players who tied for third with 16 home runs to surpass the 102 hit by two players the year before. (To overcome the 53 by Alonso in 2019, you'd still need to add two of the 6 who hit 16 home runs, which includes Pete Alonso)

It is my understanding that as long as the misgendering is not done with malice, there will be no issue from any of the site mod staff.

Day 3 begins

In an effort to reduce the number of pitching changes and, in turn, cut down the average time per game, MLB instituted a rule change that requires pitchers to either face a minimum of three batters in an appearance or pitch to the end of a half-inning, with exceptions for injuries and illnesses. If a pitcher faces one batter to end an inning, he may be removed, but if he is brought back for a second inning, he must still face two more batters for a total of three.

Is Anya really a doublevoter? Or was there a mod slip? It shows 3 votes on Norwe in the VC but only two players voting.

I've said this in the past, but in the event the vote count I have does not match the amount of votes next to it, the actual solution is not that there are double voters, it's that I made an error.

[brassherald]

The ball shall be a sphere formed by yarn wound around a small core of cork, rubber or similar material, covered with two strips of white horsehide or cowhide, tightly stitched together. It shall weigh not less than five nor more than 5 1/4 ounces and measure not less than nine nor more than 9 inches in circumference.

No player shall intentionally discolor or damage the ball by rubbing it with soil, rosin, paraffin, licorice, sand-paper, emery-paper or other foreign substance.

PENALTY: The umpire shall demand the ball and remove the offender from the game. In addition, the offender shall be suspended automatically for 10 games. For rules in regard to a pitcher defacing the ball, see Rules 6.02(c)(2) through (6).
