What are the Diamondbacks doing with Jordan Lawler? He’s only had 4 starts after his call up 13 games ago and he’s 0-13 with 7 Ks. Either let him play and learn how to hit in the big leagues or send him back down to get regular playing time.

I made it a career goal to never use a semi-colon in professional writing. 250+ peer reviewed articles, several lay pieces, hundreds of blog posts, and a James Beard nominated book later and if you find a semicolon it was added during copyediting.

Such a low key troll by NYT to use a photo of a grocery store with plentiful eggs for this story about China’s economy and tariffs.

“There's not an American in this country free until every one of us is free.” -Jackie Robinson I will forever be in awe of the bravery it took to face the ugly side of the sport we love but don’t always like to look at. He faced it head on and in turn opened doors for so many.💙
