@Entuojo, only 2 hits but he did score 4 runs. Btw, Stanton went 0-14 for the Yankees in that series.

Parents should be charged, since they were supposed to keep an eye on him. That’s even more ridiculous than the toothless verbal warning.

I remember when Darvish was considered the best pitcher on the planet. One of only two Japanese pitchers with more than 100 MLB wins. His best years are behind him, but I hope he can have a good season.

Posted in: ANA Boeing 737-800 domestic flight turns back due to cockpit window crack See in context
@RockingChair, that was not from a cracked windshield, it was from an improperly installed windscreen panel that separated from its frame. Completely different situation.
@garypen, there’s a speed and altitude restriction with a cracked windshield. At a lower altitude and a 250 knot wind on the nose, do you think the window is going to blow out. You might be right, but when I was faced with this situation, I was concerned with it blowing into my face.

Posted in: ANA Boeing 737-800 domestic flight turns back due to cockpit window crack See in context
This was a precautionary landing rather than an emergency landing. As the story says, one layer of the four cracked. There has never been a case where an entire window has imploded. Cockpit windows are heated and it’s usually due to a bad heating element. And this happens to Airbus planes as well.
