Louis Varland, now out of the game is warming in the pen.

Are we going to talk about infield positioning? The Mariners played straight up to K-F. If they had been shifted just a little that would have been a DP, not a single.

I dunno, maybe making bad decisionZ while racing isn't such a good strategy to winning.

While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations.

Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money.

Boycott Disney and you can boycott Florida at the same time!

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription.

It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

Challenge: post your last photo taken in D.C. to show what a hellhole it is.

The Rays won the game and were the invading team I guess.

Imagine being so petty and having to try so hard to justify your tax cut to billionaires that you turn a $240 a year bike commuter subsidy into a taxable subsidy.
Ugh. The megabill permanently killed commuter benefits for people who bike to work.

@productiveouts.bsky.social Penrod!!?? When Zach signs autographs, he uses his Penrod.
The Dodgers are acquiring LHP Zach Penrod from the Red Sox, source confirms. Had been DFA'd in the aftermath of the Devers trade.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive was on it.

In a UK study of bike theft, 25% of people whose bike is stolen give up cycling entirely, and 66% cycle less afterwards. Secure bike parking is hugely important for supporting people to choose cycling. #vc25 @cyclehoop.bsky.social

They just choose not to. When Glendale took out the experiment quick build on Brand Bl, it took 3 days.
As I noted a couple years ago in CityLab, cities that rush to remove guerrilla sidewalks end up reinforcing activists' claims.

Local agencies clearly *can* quickly adjust street designs -- they just choose not to.
The Case for Guerrilla Crosswalks
Activists are painting unsanctioned DIY crosswalks at intersections in cities like Seattle and LA. Transportation officials should understand why.

@productiveouts.bsky.social I'm a little sad they didn't name him Rake and instead it's just a nickname.

@productiveouts.bsky.social Lab leak!? Does Jake come from the same JuCo as Bothmeats?
The Rays optioned Chandler Simpson to make room for Jake Mangum on the MLB roster.

Good: .285 AVG, .305 xBA, 10.5 K%, 19 steals, 98th percentile Sprint Speed

Bad: 15.5% hard-hit rate, 83.4 avg exit velocity, .317 SLG, -3 Outs Above Average

Same as he was as a prospect: a player of extremes

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
