"Panda" song
Thinking of a recent song, probably this year's. I don't remember if the vocals are male or female, but the hook has a female voice in the background repeating something like "panda" or "pandeh". I think I probably heard it wrong but can't think of any other word that sounds like that. Google is of no help. 95.168.121.57 (talk) 01:26, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * That's not much to go on. Do you not recall any other words, or the genre of music? Have you ruled out Panda Panda Panda?--Shantavira|feed me


 * That doesn't sound like it, also not Desiigner - Panda. It was a pop or RnB song. I don't usually listen to that type of music but it was very catchy. Considering I heard it on both radio and VH1 more than a few times last month I'm assuming it's a recent hit. 95.168.116.19 (talk) 13:56, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * You do sometimes get a cover of a song under a different genre. SinisterLefty (talk) 14:15, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Sounds to me like "Panda" by Desiigner. The word "panda" is repeated extensively through the song and VH1 listed it as one of the top songs of 2016. 135.84.167.41 (talk) 17:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah the more I think about it, it has to be a cover of that song. It's deffo not Desiigner because it has a deadpan male voice doing the "panda panda" bit. I distinctively remember it was a woman's voice and the pronunciation was off too, kind of like rhyming with "thunder" in RP but with a rising tone. Made me think of K-pop but what would that be doing on VH1 evening programme... Unfortunately none of the heavily watched covers on Youtube seem to fit the bill, so it probably has a different name too :\ 95.168.118.212 (talk) 13:27, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Has an MLB pitcher ever been penalized for the rubber foot taking a step while pitching?
Or for pitching too close to the plate? Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 20:49, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:58, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It would be an illegal pitch, called a ball with no one on base, or a balk with a runner on. Some pitchers have had their delivery declared illegal by MLB because they were taking an extra step (e.g. Sean Doolittle, Carl Edwards Jr.) and had to modify it as a result. --Xuxl (talk) 21:12, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "an extra step"? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:52, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about this, that's definitely not allowed. And here's a discussion of Doolittle. I'm not sure if the OP is talking about those things, or something else. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:55, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It maybe is not one of the kinds of a Balk, which covers illegal pitching motions that deceive a baserunner. Baserunners cannot be deceived into thinking a pitch is coming, and a "balk" is any motion that does that, but does not deliver said pitch (or, contrariwise, where a pitch is delivered but the runner is deceived into thinking it wasn't).  Not every illegal pitch or pitching motion counts as a balk.  Legal pitches are covered by Rule 8 of the MLB Rules.  Illegal pitches are automatically scored as balls, even if they don't qualify for a balk.  -- Jayron 32 12:28, 14 October 2019 (UTC)


 * For those of us who don't know baseball, what is the rubber foot?? —Tamfang (talk) 01:34, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
