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

The Ghost of Dick Allen approves.

The Brewers regarded smoking cigarettes before games as a good luck charm and their motto was ‘if we smoke heaters in the cage, we will smoke heaters in the game’
Christian Yelich on this:
“You walk by the cage and see the cigs lit and you’re like, the boys are ready to rock.”

I'm SCREAMING!
@notgaetti
Great piece! My favorite line comes at the end: "We stayed relentless." @notgaetti @threeinningfan @PeteATurner @CChapro832 @CoachBeede
Missed opportunity from @educationgadfly here. How could this episode NOT be about education policy and the tax code? Over to you, @MichaelPetrilli.

Looks like Chu is subtweeting @MrDanielBuck here.
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."
