I need an option on my desktop to pin live score like I can do whenI check a score on my phone. Let me have a little score bug in the corner of my computer monitor while I'm working.

Mark McKeever, @tormentafc.bsky.social Manger, has been named Coach of the Month.

I guess when you win every game you have a pretty good shot of winning that award.

If AI relies on the theft of other people's property to stay afloat then it's not an industry, it's organised crime.

I didn't need it to be you, but I also had questions about if it was a public document and was hoping someone would find out.

That sounds like an absolute nightmare of an experience.

I just figured I'd go with radio broadcasts and if the Cubs make it to the World Series I'll find a free trial of something to watch the games.

Before this morning I didn't know it was possible and now it is all that I want!

It would get Richmond the 8 seed as they would in the first tiebreaker of wins in the league.

One last repost of this from the weekend. Recapping Tormenta's win over Westchester, including reaction from Makel Rasheed, Niall Reid-Stephen and Manager Mark McKeever.

A day later than expected (my editor was unavailable yesterday) but my recap of @tormentafc.bsky.social's sixth straight win, a 3-1 win over Westchester.

They did not use my suggested headline of "The Joy of Six"

Tormenta keeps up torrid pace with sixth consecutive victory

Niall Reid-Stephen scored twice Friday night to lead Tormenta to a club record sixth win in a row as Tormenta continued their push for a playoff spot in the final month of the regular season.

If I did this correctly, this would actually have Richmond win the tiebreaker with 10 wins and everyone else at nine or fewer.

Spending my morning trying to calculate if a 5-way tie for 8th place in USL League One is possible and, friends, I think it is!

Richmond - WWW
Greenville - WLD
Alta - WLL
Madison - WLL
Charlotte - LDL

That gets everyone to 35 points (and I think works out with the remaining schedule)

Curious to hear the answer after the next team talk.

Clearly not so much here. I've never tried to leave and re-enter in a game that didn't have a weather delay so I'm not sure what the actual policy is here. Certainly there aren't announcements about it.

1

Luke Martin @lukermartin.bsky.social · 2d

Interesting. Granted, there's nowhere safe to go at Tormenta Stadium in a weather delay so we kind of have to leave. But I don't think I've ever been checked coming back in after the weather clears.

1

Luke Martin @lukermartin.bsky.social · 2d

Wait, USL rules prevent re-entry? Every weather delay at Tormenta Stadium requires us to go wait in our cars to wait out the delay.

Luke Martin @lukermartin.bsky.social · 2d

I'm going to need one of you friendly @unionomaha.bsky.social fans to help me get one of those bobbleheads from the October 18th game somehow.
