Hey, can I get 1/18th of a hat?!? 😂@enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social
Thanks, DVR. I’m in an OBP league and his MiLB walk rate isn’t completely awful, so that might play. Of course, he might only stay up until Kim is back.
Better winters than Iowa!!
Hey guys, I think the Carson Williams call up happened after you recorded your latest episode, any thoughts? I grabbed him for one of my UT spots. Did I just get lucky with the debut performance?? @dvr.bsky.social @enosarris.bsky.social
That’s great to hear!!
Best wishes to Hazel, @dvr.bsky.social. We’ve all been there with the cone of shame! 🐶 🏥
I feel bad for all the 65 year old men, erm, I mean kids, who will never see Bieber pitch in a Cleveland uni again. 😢 @dvr.bsky.social @enosarris.bsky.social
Can't wait for the Jose Ramirez discussion!
Travis Bazzana is leading off and playing second base tonight in his Triple-A Columbus debut.
Yes, 100%, and that has been a big part of the change! I've watched him pitch a ton and think it's for real, though! 🤞
+1 for Matewan.
On R&B, @enosarris.bsky.social said Williams's recent performance might be schedule dependent, but his opponents since 6/1, when he started turning things around, were LAA, HOU, @SEA, @SFG, TOR, @CHC, DET, @CWS, ATH, @KCR, MIN, @NYM. That's not murderers' row, but it's not nothing. @dvr.bsky.social
I’ve never been much for self promotion, but I think this is pretty interesting.
My daugher @kgartland.bsky.social & I gifted each other⚾tshirts. She gave me the great @rotowear.bsky.social End ALS/Baseball is the Best tee & I gave her the BasebALL tee from @pitcherlist.com @nickpollack.pitcherlist.com (pic post-Jays demolishing Rockies yesterday) @slangsonsports.bsky.social
I'm thrilled and humbled to be among the contributors to this important and timely volume! Many thanks to @randersenjones.bsky.social and @sonjawest.bsky.social for putting together this collection and being discerning and insightful editors!
MLB better make Pam Postema the guest of honor at this weekend’s Marlins-Braves series!
Want!
Was this the Gavin Williams break out that @enosarris.bsky.social has been predicting for a while now?!? @dvr.bsky.social
The Columbia settlement is an “astonishing transfer of autonomy and authority to . . . an administration whose disdain for the values of the academy is demonstrated anew every day.” New @knightcolumbia.org analysis of the Columbia settlement, just published. knightcolumbia.org/blog/what-th...
Oh no, Grayson Rodriguez out for the season. Bad health luck.
Love this headline. Wake TF up Dem leaders!!!
+1 for Traeger.
I think that’s right (though people might think, “Laureano, didn’t we have him and let him go?”
Speaking of which, Guards now just two games out of the last Wild Card. It would be so Cleveland to sell at the deadline and then sneak into the playoffs and then get crushed.
At least it was a good song.
Speedway Classic not working out quite how they drew it up so far.
He should be a relief pitcher. Then we could say Warming’s warming!
😬The Supreme Court will consider whether the intentional creation of a majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments. If the answer is yes, SCOTUS will effectively declare that what remains of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. This is very, very ominous.
Thanks Remy, I'm grateful!!
So 5701 is the primary source to cite for this?
That's exactly what I was told, I'm just looking for a citeable source for that. Thanks!
NY civil practitioners - Someone told me that in NY state courts denials of motions to dismiss or for SJ are appealable, notwithstanding absence of a final judgment. I have found nothing to support this except CPLR 5701, which seems broad, but no clear rule. Any suggestions?
I'm sure I've got that beat over the years I've been submitting!
Hey, guys, thanks so much for the shout out and for the Guardians segment on Wednesday's R&B. I felt a "little" better afterwards.
FWIW, I thought the presence of @brittghiroli.bsky.social's baby had a calming influence on the trade deadline livestream of Rates & Barrels! @dvr.bsky.social @enosarris.bsky.social
Thank goodness!!
I'll raise you 0 championships in 77 years.
Fair, but you can’t fault him for time to address needs within the team’s constraints. I’m a Guardians fan so I’m just looking in from the outside.
😂
Preller may eventually go down as one of the all time great PBO/GMs.
AJ Preller, man. That guy can deal!
Guards deal Bieber away. Probably roughly about the type of player they’d have gotten with the comp pick after he turned down the QO. But this is a pretty clear sign the FO has given up on 2025. That’s not irrational but it still sucks.
Imagine living in a country that has placed Emil Bove on the federal bench for a lifetime appointment.
Yay?…
Thrilled to welcome @klonick.bsky.social to @lawfaremedia.org. KK is a great American, a fabulous scholar and journalist, and the only person of my extensive acquaintance ever to bring a live cormorant on television.
OK boys, this Guardians fan needs something to feel even mildly optimistic about with the 2025 season pretty much in the toilet (zero activity in the Guardians channel in the Discord). Give me some hope!! @dvr.bsky.social @enosarris.bsky.social
Please keep at ‘em!!
I’d imagine the Commissioner could invalidate the trade in that circumstance, no?
Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:
This is so far over the line I don't even know where to begin. Trying to get students -- your own students -- expelled or deported because of political activism? Jesus, I won't even punch down at random college students on *social media*
Yeah, this is the first month when I haven’t missed any days (I think). I dropped from 20th to where I am today just in the last two days. Bring on August!!
Season leaderboard this morning. 👀 @dvr.bsky.social
do these guys realize they are just signing up for a recurring subscription
Kudos to @dvr.bsky.social & @stephenjnesbitt.bsky.social for calling out MLB's editing of Vin Scully's call of Hank Aaron's 715th HR to exclude any mention of race & MLB's ineptitude in explaining why ASG was returned to ATL despite no change in GA's voter suppression laws on yesterday's R&B podcast
Maybe he’ll claim it was Biden using an autopen! 😂
These videos are super impressive, I can barely operate my car and its sound system at the same time!
Walked into a store yesterday and it was already having Back to School sales. I felt triggered.
This is a huge loss not only for legal academia, but for humanity. Dick was brilliant and kind, insightful and generous. A wonderful person. RIP
Missing @enosarris.bsky.social this week, but it was sure great to have @brittghiroli.bsky.social back on Rates&Barrels!! @dvr.bsky.social
So the Nationals now have two players named Luis Garcia?? How often have MLB teams ever had two players with the exact same name? (I know the IF is Luis Garcia, Jr., but still). Griffeys don't count. @jaysonst.bsky.social @slangsonsports.bsky.social
Was just coming here to post that exact sentence!!!
For those of you who would prefer not to subsidize the Venetian weddings of oligarchs, bookshop.org is having an anti-Prime sale with free shipping from today through July 11th! #supportindependentbookstores
Shades of Katrina!
This story should not have been published. They hint at an accusation (Mamdani said he is black to get into a fancy college) they can't back up. That this was published tells me that Mamdani's most important opponent may not be Cuomo or Adams but a paper whose NEWS section will run stuff like this.
VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.
Like @nivshah.com, I grew up in Cleveland, where I learned nothing about hot dogs. It's not really a hot dog city, hence the abomination of the Slider Dog. Even more impressive, then, that Niv has risen to the level of Senior Hot Dog Correspondent! @dvr.bsky.social @enosarris.bsky.social
Too bad a new edition of the Bluebook just came out…
Honored to sign this brief and to have worked on it with my wonderful colleagues @gshans.bsky.social and @profalankchen.bsky.social.
Maybe the makers of Catan will add baseball players as a resource!!
Justice Jackson taking on Gorsuch's "pure textualism" and arguing for a more holistic reading of Congress' handiwork—worth reading in full. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![The majority’s contention that I reject “ ‘pure textualism’ [a]s insufficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek,” ante, at 10, stems from an unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And, indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A methodology that includes consideration of Congress’s aims does exactly that— and no more. By contrast, pure textualism’s refusal to try to understand the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing judicial policy preferences. By “finding” answers in ambiguous text, and not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own preferences as “textual” inevitabilities. So, really, far from being “insufficiently pliable,” I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable—that’s its primary problem—and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexible enough to secure the majority’s desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreih3qdtlloz3yhggypbtwiveqdgzzfgapsnetvq7qsni7wfmyuovoi@jpeg "Click to view full size")
Yeah, only 2B available in my league who is ahead of Albies on the FG Player Rater is Clement, and he's barely ahead ($1.40 to $1). Thx DVR.
What are some good orgs for trans youth that could use some donations on this awful day? Reply below.
Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.
Is Albies droppable at this point? He's been terrible and A's Muncy is available in my 16 tm H2H OBP league. @enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social
Giants finally got the “free agent” they keep missing on, albeit through a trade.
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

This is gross!
Since there's nothing going on in the world and you all have plenty of free time, here's a link to my chapter for a forthcoming book, Elgar Companion to Free Expression, co-edited by @profalankchen.bsky.social & Ash Bhagwat. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... The abstract:
Wait, is Twin Peaks a real place?!?
This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...
If you're a baseball fan and can afford to do so (and don't already), please consider subscribing to @fangraphs.com. Fantastic site for advanced stats and outstanding writing and analysis!
Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.
Another great Sunday notes column from @davidlaurila.bsky.social! I can't imagine how much fun it must have been to chat with Ron Washington! blogs.fangraphs.com/sunday-notes...
Holy shit!!!
Well now how TF am I expected to get any work done for the rest of the day?!?
FYI, @uclawsf.bsky.social is searching for an Executive Director for its new Center for Constitutional Democracy. Job announcement here: uclawsf.breezy.hr/p/a8bbd2d749...
Poppy seed Culture Happy Hour!
Hawley apparently still pissed about this book review michiganlawreview.org/journal/of-m... @strictscrutiny.bsky.social
I'd love to see a video of any time Hawley has actually let a witness complete her answer to a question rather than talking over her. I can't imagine he's capable.
HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents
Hi hello! It’s still May, which means it’s ALS Awareness Month! We’re less than a week away from MLB Lou Gehrig Day, celebrated on June 1+2 this year! #EndALS Full Gehrig Day games schedule, including teams on road 6/1-2⬇️ www.mlb.com/mlb-together...
I've got a new Essay out in @columlrev.bsky.social: MONELL'S UNTAPPED POTENTIAL. In it, I set out an overlooked argument for municipal liability-a claim for failure to supervise based on police departments' inattention to lawsuit allegations & information.🧵1/4 columbialawreview.org/wp-content/u...

Welcome!!
Good one from Andy Borowitz.
Baseball and family pulled Nic Enright out of the darkness. Now, after two and a half years of pain and exhaustion and torment, he’s a big-league pitcher. And his debut, with his family present, was perfect. “That was everything I wanted it to be.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/637...
Guardians fans, @zackmeisel.bsky.social is on Bluesky now, let’s show him some love and keep him engaged here!
And yet!
