This is what I hate about partisans(both sides). You put your party above reason and logic. If I am not mistaken, it wasn't very long ago that we had people on this site screaming that Trump should be impeached. Apparently because he is a bad guy, not because there is any evidence of an impeachable offense. I have read all of the reports and they all conclude that there is no hard evidence, just speculation. If you could impeach someone based on speculation, Obama would have been impeached a dozen times. Now, when the roles are reversed, we shouldn't do anything because there is no proof. That is total crap. What harm can an investigation into this matter do? The bigger issue here is that we "potentially" have a sitting president wiretapping the opposition party candidate during the heart of a presidential campaign. Some have argued that the president doesn't request wiretaps. That may technically be true, but he most definitely would have been informed if they did this. And if so, he could have given the order to stand down. That puts him in bed with this also. I don't know if there is any hard evidence yet, but there were two FISA requests naming Trump or his people during this time period. We don't know what they were for, but I believe that this is enough to warrant a full investigation. Maybe nothing shady happened. That would be great. Maybe they had a good reason to wiretap. Who knows. But if the allegations are true, that is something the American people have a right to know and all Americans, regardless of party affiliation should want to know the truth. 

Hey guys, I've been trolling around a while and thought I would jump in on this conversation. The bottom line is that arm injuries have skyrocketed in recent years and I applaud the proactive rule change. Is it perfect, absolutely not. Are there a lot of variables based on each individual kid and that particular game situation, absolutely. Can a kid throw 150 pitches in a game? Sure, but most likely their mechanics will begin to break down as they become fatigued. This is where the injuries either happen or begin to happen. I do agree with STYMIE that care must be taken when not on the mound. I suspect that this rule will be modified/improved over the course of the next few years and that it will result in fewer arm injuries. This whole situation reminds me of when they changed the bat standards a few years back. Everyone was screaming about how the change would kill the game. It took a couple of years for teams and coaches to adjust, but you don't even hear those complaints anymore.
