Unoriginal
Nobody ever accused the Court of having the Captain's wit or wisdom, so we'll stick with his theme of the week. As you'll notice, the number of violations this week is drastically reduced as compared to last week. You can attribute this to the Cougars playing a smarter game, the KC being a bit more lenient or a combination of the two. Whatever the reason, the KC is more than happy to have a shorter docket.
Unquestionable
Lipinski is fined $1 for the backwards K. His unknowing attempt to try to sell it as a walk is counterbalanced by his insistence that the pitch was outside. (As Martin pointed out, it was inside.)
Unconscionable
Lipinski gets $1 for not bringing an opener for the beer. The KC was tempted to give the Lip the maximum but showed leniency because he did supply beer. (He narrowly avoided another fine for leaving the postgame early.)
Untimely
Melchiorre and Martin get $.50 for the botched pickoff play. With runners on 1st and 2nd, the pickoff at 2nd is a tough play, especially with an experienced runner who seemed to be baiting us to make a play so he could take 3rd. Apparently Martin made the suggestion and Melchiorre pulled the trigger, so they'll split the $1 fine.
Uncool
Diddy pays $1 for another Metra misadventure.
Unchallenged
Finally, an administrative matter: the Court heard unsubstantiated rumors around Wil-town that there may have been Cougars seeking to appeal previous rulings of the Court. The appeals period for any ruling expires at the end of the following game's postgame. Because no party raised a timely appeal at this week's postgame, the first KC rulings have become final. If anybody would like to further discuss those first rulings, our buddy Elijah is happy to hear you out.
