It's amazing how many runs in the modern game are the result of defensive lapses. Maybe that needs to be added to the list of the modern games 'true outcomes'

yeah - that will certainly do it.

Toledo being 3 hit. Tork with 0/2 BB, no K's.

make it 3/4 HR, plus a walk in his last AB.

LOL - just wrote the same post. I hope Norris finds some success but it's funny to see him now a pretty much a pure finesse pitcher with he had one the best live fastballs of any left hander coming out of Toronto.

Nice play by Harold there. He may not have enough glove to play SS well, but seems to have plenty to play 1st. Too bad he doesn't have the power to go with 1b or he could be a plus player. Of course, if a pig had wings...... Norris does look calmer that he used to. Not get too excited though - he's only managed 1K thru 3.

McCosky says the issue is 'definitely his elbow.' That may be 'definitely' but doesn't say much! Does that at least not mean another UCL or not? Bone chip? I guess we wait and see.

two BB this inning but he gets out of it. Norris's body control does seem better on the mound, but maybe that's because his best FB so far has been about 91.

Shep says Kopech is sharper than his last outing as he leaves a fastball middle/middle and Candelario fouls it off......

easy inning for Norris. He has adopted a little rock step on his delivery. He managed to throw some pitches without falling off the mound but still did his little out of control spin on a couple.

yeah that was too easy. O-line was moving folks. The bad drop by Williams wasn't enough to stop the drive either.

he's already had it done once.

😡#*!*$#!%##!&!!#!#*!*😡

Hillary wanted to be able to conduct her off the books activities without being subject to records retention. Why she didn't just keep a personal e-mail account I don't know - maybe it's not allowed? (I doubt that). In any case, in the end I blame the trouble Hillary's email issue caused for the Dems on Obama. It's simply not a credible argument that the administration didn't know Hillary's business mail was coming from a non-DoS account. So they had to have known but decided to give her a pass. And that decision had to come from the White House - not credible it could have been any other way. Obama or his CoS either being lax or not wanting to push the issue or even because maybe he figured she might eventually be hoist on her own petard and didn't mind if it happened. Whatever the reason, it turned to be a bad decision for the Admin and the repercussions ended up giving us Trump.

LOL - that's a really expensive piece of hardware to beat up like that!

Maybe nobody told Donnie that what's in a 'Presidential Library' isn't the stuff a President took home with him.

LOL - Yeah - this one was pretty funny. I *almost* feel sorry for Brooks. He's a guy who has lost his long time faith as a righty and without it he doesn't see how any institutions can stand because after all, weren't they all supported by an ideology that failed? So now he can only see what the DOJ is doing in a purely politcal/transactional light, ignoring that you do some things because they are right. His problem is that he doesn't realize that his premise is wrong. It was never right wing ideology or values that held up the democratic West. They have been a perversion since at least Nixon. The values that hold up the democratic West are truth and justice. The ideology of the American right not only never had any monopoly on those it never even cared much about either.

I saw that also, but more recently there is this: https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2022/08/defeated-rep-peter-meijer-doesnt-plan-to-endorse-republican-john-gibbs-for-congress.html

without a doubt that would have to be a graphic novel.

interesting piece by Farhad Manjoo about what really provides the oxygen to keep the conspiracy hawkers like Alex Jones going:

On the one hand, the pitch was middle middle. OTOH, the pitch was middle-middle and he did what he's supposed to do with a middle-middle pitch.

don't give up yet. He's raised his August OPS to 870 tonight.

Just a little golden parachute for Donnie (along with some of that 'light treason'?). I mean, just ask him, who could deserve it more?

OTOH, Parker Meadows with a nice night, 2/3 HR 2B BB

Final line 53 pitches, 39 strikes. 5 IP, 1H 0R 1BB 6K maybe one more rehab start since he only threw 53?
