JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇳 Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi introduces resolution to officially recognize July as Indian American Heritage Month.

If you are in East TN. @BigBoyVol You know anybody out that way that needs a dog?

A scout drove out to a junior college in Missouri to watch him throw, and he walked eight batters in a row. That is the story everybody tells. Somebody brought it up again this month and he corrected them. It was nine. They drafted him anyway. Fourth round, 2018. Aaron Ashby is from Kansas City, Missouri, out of Park Hill High School. His uncle Andy pitched fourteen seasons in the big leagues and made two All-Star teams. The Texas Rangers had taken him the year before that, in the 25th round, 764th overall. He turned it down and went back to the junior college. His first big league appearance was two thirds of an inning and four earned runs. Two seasons later he went 2 and 10 as a starter. Milwaukee signed him to a five year extension anyway, and then his shoulder went. Arthroscopic surgery. He lost all of 2023. He says he has never gotten the slider he had in college back, not once, not all the way. Then 2024 at Triple-A Nashville, a 8.04 ERA across 25 games. That is the number teams look at when they decide somebody is finished. In August of that year, still in Nashville, he started messing with a knuckle-curve. He was in Milwaukee about a week later. Last season he put up a 2.16 out of the bullpen. This season he went 13 and 3. And then October started and he just stopped giving up runs. Fifteen and two thirds scoreless innings to open this postseason. Five hits. Three walks. Seventeen strikeouts. He has pitched in eight of the Milwaukee Brewers ten playoff games and every single one at home. He is one out away from the record. Andrew Miller went sixteen scoreless to start the 2016 postseason and nobody has matched it. Ashby passed Goose Gossage and Andy Hawkins to get here. Pat Murphy watched him get a five out save in Game 2 Saturday and called it Goose Gossage-like. He is also the first pitcher in the history of the postseason to record at least five outs in six straight appearances without allowing a run in any of them. The pitch doing it is the curveball he was not supposed to have. Miguel Sano hit the fifth curveball he ever threw in the big leagues over the wall, back in August 2021. He has thrown 1,045 of them since. Not one has left the yard. They asked him how he stays that calm with the tying run on second in the ninth. "It's a lot of breathing." "Just kind of praying for peace, I guess." Be straight about where this sits. Milwaukee is up 2-0 but the next three are in Tampa Bay, the Rays won 94 games, and nobody finishes a postseason at 0.00. But a kid walked nine straight hitters with a scout in the stands, and a week from now he might own the record for the best October any bullpen arm has ever had.

NEW: Robert Reich calls for the "defunding" of Elon Musk, calls for Democrats to go after Musk's companies. "Democrats ought to [start] laying the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink & SpaceX... It should be a public corporation." Does he want Musk to drop another $50M on the midterms?

I’ll gladly burn more gas just to drive until I find a gas station that isn’t owned by an Indian. It’s the principle. I’m not giving them my money.

HEROIC: How a 78-year-old veteran used his training to stop a home intruder who attacked his wife. In Franklin, Ohio, 78-year-old veteran Raymond Harrison and his wife were inside their home when an aggressive intruder kicked through their back door, making threats and charging at his wife. Despite his age, Raymond's instincts and training kicked in instantly. He stepped directly between his wife and the attacker, drew his legally owned firearm, and placed a single, precise shot that immediately incapacitated the intruder and ended the threat before anyone in his family could be hurt. Police arrived to find the veteran standing guard and his wife completely safe. Prosecutors cleared Raymond of any wrongdoing within days, calling it a textbook example of home defense.

Rioters in France set fire close to a building. A woman from the side yells "There are kids in that building!" The rioter replies "We don't give a f*ck, we want our rights" I don't see how nearly setting a building on fire gives you any rights...
