Mancatchers

WmGn says...

From Wikipedia's Man catcher page's section on China:

"A type of locking man catcher is available for staff at train stations and airports in China to capture and restrain individuals in a non-lethal manner.

"In some junior and middle schools, security guards are equipped with non-locking variants designed to seize a person's waist or prevent them from advancing. It is essentially a two-pronged fork, a U-shape projecting from a pole."

Mic'd up ump dealing with a pissed off manager

RFlagg says...

Okay, so many questions as I don't do baseball much.

First, why would he throw the ball so far behind the batter? Just to walk him? Whenever I've seen them walk a batter, the catcher just stands and they just throw high and over to the side. Why would he be ejected for walking a batter? Batters are walked all the time. What is the situation where you can't walk a batter? Is it the way he's walking the batter being far off normal?

New Poll Numbers Have Clinton Far Behind And Falling

radx says...

As depressing as it is, Trump might very well be the preferable outcome for people in the Maghreb. Clinton has been a major driver behind the clusterfuck that used to be Syria and Libya.

Also, if you browse through the economics commentaries outside the mainstream, you'll notice that the US-based crowd seems to be borrowing yet another word from German: Lumpenproletariat. Old Marx is back with a vengeance.

And if people like Clinton, Cameron, Hollande, Rajoy and Merkel piss on the Lumpenproletariat, you get your Farages, your le Pens, your Trumps, your Petrys. Treat the plebs like rats, and many will follow whatever rat-catcher comes along...

Penn Jillette in a room full of dummies

transmorpher says...

I actually think they are all correct to some degree.

Speaking from personal experience, growing up in a household where you don't feel like you can rely or speak to someone when you really need it does making growing up tough. If you don't have supportive friends to make up for the lack of "love" you get at home, the world can seem like a pretty awful place.

At the same time video games provided me with an escape from that reality (where others might have turned to drugs or perhaps violence).

So I can see where both arguments are coming from.

Different people will be inspired by different things. Wasn't the guy that killed John Lennon inspired by "The Catcher in the Rye"?


The blame is on the parents ultimately though, because the child should have never gotten to the point where they see violence as an option.

Real men don't use garlic presses, choppers, or (winces) pre-peeled cloves or minced (pre-chewed) bits in jars. Any man who does is the catcher on an all-hermaphrodite baseball team.

An INCREDIBLE Catch!

Quboid says...

Why do baseball players look so fat? They're not wearing American Football style padding are they? They're not uber muscled body builders are they?

Professional athletes who go to work and sit on their asses for 1/9 the time when on "offense", jog 100-200 feet to thier "defensive" positions, only to stand around and wait for something to happen that will require, at most, several seconds of effort. I bet their heart rates rarely surpass 100bpm, much less their target zones. (Pitchers aand catchers exempt from this description, of course, but not Pablo Sandoval.)


So basically, it's because they are fat. Huh.

I'd have thought basic professionalism would dictate they look after themselves. Even if they don't need to be able to sprint like a football player, basic co-ordination and physical reactions would be better if they were slim. If nothing else, being on TV regularly would give me extra motivation to look my best.
