Gotta give some props to Arden Zwelling who constantly brought him up as deserving of a shot for a couple years of At The Letters. He's had a great season.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

This seems pretty desperate. Why not save him to come in for 2-3 innings after Gausman in game 5 (he'd be on regular rest)

Corduroy Orbison @underscore-proto.bsky.social · 3h

I'd settle for an inning where Schittler throws more than 15 pitches. Gotta dream big.

Corduroy Orbison @underscore-proto.bsky.social · 3h

Would be nice to see the batters battling a bit harder to make Schittler work out there. Santander is the only guy making him throw 4 pitches in an at bat.

Also checks out that he's too much of a scared little boy to call someone to task on the phone/in person and just shitposts them.

Sounds biased to me. Have you forgotten to use your medbed lately?

Corduroy Orbison @underscore-proto.bsky.social · 4h

Was hoping to see the Jays grind these at bats a bit longer but at least they got a run across.

Wouldn't have happened if Mark Wahlberg was on the flight.

Happy to be largely out of the Apple ecosystem. Apple TV is it and I'm exiting that market before my next billing cycle.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

I was hoping but apparently not. Bassitt must actually not be ready.

Corduroy Orbison @underscore-proto.bsky.social · 13h

Folks would probably feel better if the bullpen hadn't look so shaky in games 2 and 3, but you're right that it should be a feasible game to win as long as they keep grinding at bats.

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador

Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

Someone in the pen probably pulled a hammy. Bassitt time!

Corduroy Orbison @underscore-proto.bsky.social · 1d

Definitely need a low leverage pen guy to pull a hamstring tonight though if Bassitt is ready. I don't think they can do a pen game tomorrow after this.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Davis Schneider seemingly experienced all three deciding what to do watching Barger there.
