the fact that Trump is a long-long pervert is well known. Hillary, and to a lesser extent Biden and Harris, made the point repeatedly. Not sure why we think people will now care about his decades long relationship with Epstein and Maxwell. Trump thinks the media and the public will move on in 2 weeks from every issue. He's been right about that all along.

what is that thing called when your guy reaches home plate? i think it is called a run? it's been a while

this guy is a US citizen and a veteran, but ICE saw a filthy brown guy and went full nazi https://apnews.com/article/us-army-veteran-immigration-raid-53cb22251a01599a0c4d1a8d5650d050 George Retes, 25, who works as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, said he was arriving at work on July 10 when several federal agents surrounded his car and — despite him identifying himself as a U.S. citizen — broke his window, peppered sprayed him and dragged him out.

very soon Trump will take full credit for getting Colbert off the air

a lot of it is luck and just random variance regarding the number of injuries, the severity, and the timing but yes, lots of people looking to take Dan down a notch will be pushing that - I assume they are very deliberate regarding how hard to go

Needed to get Colbert off the air before mid-terms (if Trump allows mid-terms)

The only logical explanation is that Trump did this to get close to Epstein so he could expose Bill Clinton's crimes.

drudge was running photos of his massive swelled legs and bruised hands

Keith Law, who hates the Tigers, wrote this about Max Clark while covering the Futures Game: I still think he’s going to be a star once the power comes.

in the next 2 months, Trump will either suicide or pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. or both

this is apparently why he is panicking, Was asked to comment about a story that is dropping soon

yesterday, Trump told a long story about a conversation he had with his uncle about Ted Kaczynski, who his uncle taught at MIT, recalling they were so surprised that he turned out to be the Unabomber. Except, Kaczynski never went to MIT and his uncle died a decade before anyone knew who the Unabomber was. Dude's brain is mush - here's why that's bad news for Democrats.

not in Pipeline's Top 250 players, but went to MLB pre-draft workout camp obviously, he is Skubal 2.0

happy to be proven wrong; but seems to be that was an aberration, not the baseline

need swing and miss; don't see that as Montero or SGL's strengths

if healthy, this rotation is 6 deep and fine through the rest of the year: Skubal, Flaherty, Mize, Olson, Montero, SGL - they also have Melton who may join BP the relievers are not so good: Vest, Kahnle, Holton are only guys you would want in to see in a close playoff game. Hanifee and Lee might make playoff roster by default. need two guys who strike people out

when Rainer falls to you, you take him, but it looks like none of the big ticket guys they wanted fell to 24, so they pivoted and grabbed 2 guys they liked, which hopefully cascades into the financial flexibility to grab even more guys they like

Ben Jacobs LHP, Arizona State Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45 Hailing from renowned California high school Huntington Beach, Jacobs began his college career close to home at UCLA. After getting just five innings on the mound as a freshman in 2023, he transferred to Arizona State and began his sophomore season pitching out of the Sun Devils bullpen, then eventually evolved into becoming their Friday night starter. He resumed that role in 2025 after a summer in which he made a few solid appearances in the Cape Cod League and for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. When he’s clicking like he was at the end of 2024, Jacobs looks every bit like a prototypical college lefty with a starting pitcher’s repertoire and solid feel for what he’s doing on the mound. None of his individual offerings jump off the page, but he misses bats with all three of his pitches. It starts with a fastball that typically sits in the 92-94 mph range, touching 95-96 at times. It was not missing as many bats as it did in 2024, when it had decent life up in the zone to go along with solid deception. He has a traditional slider he throws in the 78-83 mph range and his low-80s changeup features good fade. Jacobs has struggled with his command at times during his college career, but he repeats his delivery well and is competitive in and around the zone, so there’s some confidence he’ll get to more consistent strikes as he advances. His ceiling might be a little limited because of the lack of a true out pitch, but he’s the kind of back-end starter who has the chance to land in the top three rounds.

should have lots of $$$ to grab fallers at 62 and 98
