Folks, you can hear my soothing voice on the radio starting Sept. 7! I'm hosting Civics Minute, a bite-sized feature on WHRV public radio and on-line at @WHRO. Link in next post. 1/2

I wonder if Jonathan Aranda and Josh Naylor share a common ancestor. @notgaetti @CChapro832
I pretty much always find myself cheering against Snell, but credit where credit is due. This is really a classy set of comments. I might have to re-evaluate my anti-Snell ways. @notgaetti @CChapro832 @threeinningfan @PeteATurner
Constitutional and historical ignorance here on display in the words from the nation's leader in the 250th anniversary year of the American break from monarchical rule.
That's just next level stuff right there.
It's so hard for one player who isn't a pitcher to dominate a baseball game, but Ramirez sure seems to be doing that lately. First ballot HOF someday, no doubt.

This is a great clip to learn about baseball across cultures, Japan & the US.
US: It's a bad outing and you shake it off.
Japan: By having a bad outing on this stage he has dishonored his team, the fans, and all of Dodger nation. That's what he's feeling there.

What would be the baseball equivalent of this epic move here by Evans? Maybe Zack Greinke audibly / visibly calling his curve ball so the batter knows it's coming, but still getting the swing and miss? 😅
@notgaetti @PeteATurner @CChapro832 @shegone03
Same energy.

Trent Grisham should study this film in the off-season. @notgaetti
Anyone else noticing that the field conditions are pretty bad tonight in Atlanta? Anytime anyone needs to plant their foot or cut on the grass it seems like the ground is giving out. Has there been a ton of rain there recently? @notgaetti @threeinningfan @CChapro832 @PeteATurner
Randy Johnson: Watch me obliterate a bird with a pitch.
This pitcher: Hold my beer.

This is good.
"Absolutely not," Wembanyama said when asked if he'd ever consider promoting a sports betting website. "I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it."

Incredible. First @SecMullinDHS claimed that @DHSgov identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials said, no no no, that’s just people we flagged, here’s the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens.
All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle.
"The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

Ian Happ is an absolute legend….dude playing possibly his last game at Wrigley tossed a ball to the bleachers with $300 cash to buy fans beers
More evidence of @corbin_carroll's greatness. NEPTA The Iron Horse racking up triples, too!

Time travel to Detroit on June 2, 2010, and reverse the first base ump's 9th inning call, changing it to "out" at first base. IYKYK

Pete Hegseth in 2024: " I've been a recovering neocon for six years now...The foolishness with which we ricocheted around the world intervening, thinking it was in our best interest when really we just overturned the table and created something worse."
If Biden had done this it would have been on @FoxNews on a loop for three days.
Related: Rubio should have responded with "Polo."

🧵1/ The United States is at war. American soldiers were killed in Jordan in July. Four 4-star commanders have told the Secretary of War, formally, that they do not concur with fighting Iran into 2027.
A lieutenant colonel on that Secretary's staff spent the same weeks, to 104,000 followers, on:
• a Massachusetts jury — "not possible to hate these people enough. Nevertheless, try."
• a lawyer with 8,000 followers — "human filth… let this partisan JAG filth know what you think of her."
• the Washington Post — "aid and comfort to armed enemies of the United States."
• Islam — "attempting to conquer the west since its founding."
• a schoolteacher — she should lose her job, and so should anyone who "stand[s] beside her in silence."
The war is the job. This is the timeline.
The Army referred questions to the Pentagon. The Pentagon says he is not a spokesman. Nobody has said he is not on the staff.

Using the language of "self-deport" here is chilling and dangerous. It creates a false equivalence between the constitutionally protected efforts of the free press and the behavior of people who have broken actual immigration laws. Those two things are dramatically different.
The Department of War fully supports President Trump’s decision to kick CNN, MSN̶B̶C̶NOW and Politico to the curb so they can publish their Fake News from outside the White House.
We are grateful these outlets already chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. They endangered our troops with false stories, leaks, and trafficked in fiction and lies about the President, our Warriors, and their mission.
