A.J. Russell ruled out for Knoxville regional according to article in Baseball forum.

Forearm soreness again. Maybe go ahead and get Tommy John surgery like some do whether they need it or not.

Concerning bad drivers, I will say that everywhere I've ever lived people have claimed to have "the worst drivers." I think it might be a thing like talking about the weather. Something everyone can agree on, for a change. I think complaining about roundabouts may fall into the same category.

I agree with this. I think it's because there are so many truly bad drivers. When you consider how many people die due to cars every year, it's wild that we kind of shrug and go "better let 15 year olds try 'em."

You shut your whore mouth. I'm TN bred, born, and raised, and I love em.

Seriously tho, I've designed several of them and am a huge believer. It's an entirely safer intersection design that moves traffic more effectively. And if you can't drive a well-designed single-lane roundabout, you don't deserve to have a license. Here's why they're safer, showing the number of conflict points in each intersection type:

The single lane ones are great. It's the poorly designed double lane ones that are horrible. There's nothing to stop someone from just deciding last minute to exit while someone else in the outer lane is trying to stay in.

I know they're not supposed to be designed like that, but a ton of them where I live weren't designed properly back in the roundabout craze, so it's pretty scary having to watch the inside guy to make sure he doesn't decide to exit on a whim.

My way, and this likely comes from having lived in New Orleans, is to assume that every car everywhere is being driven by someone high or drunk or both. I do this at all times now and in all places now. I recommend it.

Welp, I'll admit defeat and say the single lane roundabouts are practical..... AND, since I've learned my lesson on the safety and convenience of roundabouts and u-turn highways. I would now like to take time to thank all our resident engineers for this brilliant design as well.......
