He threw 4 more in that inning. 18 101+ mph pitches in 10 MLB innings.

That moves him up to 7th most career 101 mph pitches by a SP.

Hunter Greene, Justin Verlander and Jacob deGrom are only with more than 30...in a career.

Misiorowski also has 10 hitless innings to start his MLB career.
Misiorowski has now begun his MLB career by throwing nine no-hit innings.

He has 14 101+ mph pitches in his first 9 MLB innings.

That ranks as the 8th most by a starting pitcher in an MLB career (Statcast era of 2008-present).

In his next inning, he may move into seventh on the career list.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Rodriguez: They're slashing staff, crushing unions, and selling out the VA for what? So billionaires can make more money while veterans sit on waitlists. Our president was asleep while Moscow was at the wheel. Veterans don't trust him. He’s not one of us.

Indycar is going to be insane this year with how hard it is to make the fast 6. Young kids all stepping up and the lower tier teams closed the speed gap. Pato and Power get bumped in Q1 and Palou and Newgarden get bumped in Q2.

Can't get over how great this halo graphic is from @indycar.com. Being able to see the distance to the corner and the brake inputs and how insane their hands are with the lack of power steering. Shame they aren't promoting this more on here @bubbaprog.lol

Seems like a good time to start posting with the season starting and some of your fans not wanting to go to nazi sites.
Maybe promote the new broadcast partner? Halo graphic is a great improvement over NBC

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.

Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
