I’m a Marlins fan. Jerar Encarnacion is neither a breakout candidate or a 30 HR candidate

Been watching a ton of him since he played in México last April and I’m all in on him. I think he just has to consistently pull the ball more and his power numbers should skyrocket

Ball absolutely flys off his bat. He must have hit some absolute tanks down there. He definitely favors going up the middle and oppo. In that same AAA sample, his Pull FB rate was 1st percentile at 11.8% 😳 I think he could pull more, but that’s certainly not his approach

Regardless of what happens with him, he’s a tremendous story of perseverance at the very least.

AAA numbers aren’t indicative of success at MLB level. It’s like 2 different sports.

One of the more interesting claims I think the team could've made this offseason Yanquiel (LHH - RF) is 23 years old and has quite a pocket of interesting tools to be played with: 🔹Average 74.5 mph bat speed 🔹Recorded 100th percentile Arm Strength - only behind Oneil Cruz He was in Triple-A for the majority of this year and put up some intriguing numbers 0.325 xwOBA / 0.426 xSLG 111.0 mph max EV 14% K - 8.5 BB% 26% Whiff / 81% z-contact (average/serviceable) Aggressive swing decisions, lots of chase but lots of swings in zone Low risk, high reward type of guy that's only 23. Not a bad move at all (Viz on the right done by Prospect Savant , everyone should check out his website)

I see a lot of people concerned that no matter what happens, the Left will not believe it. This is partially correct. There will be millions who refuse to accept anything. Approximately 4-6% will be lost forever. But we don’t need ALL of them to accept it, we just need to reach “critical mass”. We just need a certain percentage of the population to accept reality, in order to safely move onto the justice phase. The “hive mind” or “collective consciousness” is real. The “100th Monkey Effect” is real. I’m not sure exactly what percentage of people we need to wake up in order to reach critical mass, but the number exists, and we get closer to it every day. Eventually, we will reach critical mass, and humans around the globe will subconsciously accept the truth, so don’t stop waking people up, because the next person that wakes up, could be the “100th Monkey” that tips the scales of collective human consciousness.

I feel like the Jays fans are going through what we went through last year with Devin Williams. A year after giving up a historical, gut punching home run to be a big factor in losing his team a do/die game, the underlying metrics have looked amazing but haven't matched the results in the slightest. The peripherals on his season are outstanding. 🔹2.68 xERA || 2.31 FIP || 1.78 xFIP || 🔹99th-100th percentile Chase%, whiff%, K%..the stuff is stuffing. And he only has a 6.9% BB rate. 🔹A 37.9 K% - 6.9 BB% is absurdly good and this is one of the best predictive metrics we have in the sport 🔹Also limits hard contact: 6.5% Barrel rate and 30.6% Hardhit rate 🔹Andddd keeps balls on the ground for the most part But the results make no sense: 4.62 ERA (now higher obviously) .492 BABIP 68.8% LOB 16.7 HR/FB% This is almost identical to what we went through with Devin. On the one side, a lot of the data guys are (and understandably) saying this is a really good pitcher that needs more time for things to come back down to earth. But then you have more of the not-so data crowd (+ even some of the data crowd by now) saying this is a guy that shouldnt see high leverage again. And I understand both, just as I did with the Devin situation. It's hard to fault fans for just not wanting any part of this after what happened last year + what they feel as a fan this year. But then again, it's hard to ignore how dam good the data looks too, which is more often more correct than the eye.

The #McDWW26 Food/Drink awards: 🥇 Top Beverage: This one was a sleeper. I would never have ordered it if I saw it on a menu, but the Dr Pepper Milkshake (with coconut) was one of the best milkshakes I’ve ever had. Not only did I go back 3x a day, but everyone was talking about it. DP probably spent 1/100th of what Coke spent on their booth, yet everyone wanted that DP Shake. I want it in my restaurants tomorrow. I can’t describe the taste besides it was extremely good. 🥇 Top Food Item: Hand breaded Spicy McWings were some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. Malaysia & China switched to this process over a year ago. The CEO of McDonald's made a bold statement on day 1 for the US biz: “Hand breaded chicken - not if but how and when” 🍗 👀 Video below on how they make each wing. I went by this booth for a “snack” 2-4x a day. Would you order these?

#WATCH | Delhi: Regarding his 'Dil Se With Kapil Sibal' podcast, Senior Advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal says, "...The 100th episode is a conversation among me, Yashwant Sinha, and Chidambaram about the economy and how we will reach developed India... We've discussed how the Election Commission and other institutions are collaborating with the government, and how the ED and CBI are being misused to target people. That's not going to lead us to a constructive dialogue for India... It may keep them in power for a while, but, in the ultimate analysis, power will also be taken away from them at some stage... We have lost many, many wonderful years when India could have actually progressed towards our dream. This program is all about that, and I intend to carry forward with the 'Dil Se' program and raise important issues. One message I have is for the institutions of this country and the judiciary: If you want to save this country's future, stand up and be counted. Your independence is central to the survival of democracy." (15.11)

Adam Scott is making his 100th consecutive major championship start this week. He'll join Jack Nicklaus as the only men to achieve that milestone. "It's a strange one because it's not something you really set out to do or aim for. But in all honesty, since Pinehurst a couple years ago, it kind of was on my radar. Earlier this year, as I wasn't automatically qualified for this event, it became a bit of a weight on my shoulders making sure I got here. "It's been fun. I had a photograph with Jack Nicklaus a couple of weeks ago at his Memorial Tournament, and he's the other guy who made it to a hundred in a row. He, in fact, made it way past that, and I can't even think about playing another 11 or 12 years straight of these, but I'm really excited for this week."

Bill O’Reilly just revealed he spoke directly with Chinese officials — and what he says is coming next could have massive implications for the Trump administration. According to O’Reilly, China is signaling it may help pressure Iran…but there’s a catch. O’REILLY: “I did talk to the Chinese today.” “Your producers should have informed you of that, at noon eastern time.” CUOMO: “What did the Chinese say to you, Bill?” O’REILLY: “I have some pretty good information.” “So number one, there will be discussions about China helping the united States with Iran, to tamp Iran down.” “But in return, the Chinese are going to want something in that will center around Taiwan, not a hand over or anything thing like that.” “But maybe the beginning of a discussion about Taiwan.” CUOMO: “Do you like that trade?” O’REILLY: “Yeah, I think it’s good for us. 2049 is the 100th anniversary of the evil of Mao Zedong’s takeover of China and they want the Chinese flag flying over that island nation.” “But there’s room for discussion about a number of things with Taiwan and the Chinese at this point are just trying to get into the room.”

Qullamaggie on The Key Is to Outperform “You’re only up 20%, well, it could be that you’ve been trading the wrong stocks or you’ve been in mediocre stocks. If you know you should have been trading the solars, the EV names, or the spec names over the past six months, you probably have been trading the wrong stocks. If you haven’t at least traded some solar or speck, or EV battery names. You’re up 550% this year. Yeah, that’s good, but 40% is still good as well, though it also depends if you’re using margin or not. If you’re up 20% in the past month and a half without using any margin, that’s still good. It’s not bad at all, it’s okay. The key is to outperform; that really is the key. If the market is up 10%, you should be up 30% or 50%. That’s really the point of why we are here. That’s why you focus on these higher ADR stocks because we know we don’t bother with the slow stocks. Let the mediocre traders trade the slow stocks, the low momentum stocks, and the sectors that are not hot. Let other people trade them. We want to be where the money is; that’s our job.”

This is a key point about rocket size. SpaceX has the need (and capital) to deploy 100 Starlinks at a time on Starship. Perhaps Amazon Leo and Blue's TeraWave can get close to that type of demand. But for literally everyone else, building 100 satellites for each launch (and having the 1st sat built wait, not generating revenue, until the 100th is finished) ties up far too much working capital. Hundreds of millions to $1B+ waiting on the ground. It is more economical for satellite operators to launch sats in smaller batches. Which is why Andy picked 15T to LEO reusable. Starlink/Starmind needs 100T to 200T capacity for its ambitions, which is why Starship capacity makes sense for SpaceX (a $2T biz). So, even if Starship lowers the $/kg of launch and satellite manufacturing costs plummet to the floor, only a few satellite operators would have the working capital ability to let all those sats pile up on ground before launch. Most would only be able to fill a fraction of the capacity, thus negating the lower $ per kg to orbit. Terrestrial manufacturers almost never charter entire cargo ships. They ship in batches via containers. Which brings me to rideshare. 1) Even if you run Starship rideshare missions, it'll still be hard to fill out the entire payload bay. 2) And the bigger the rocket, the more complicated organizing rideshare becomes, as it would essentially be 1 or 2 years worth of rideshare missions in one launch. 3) I also think there's a real possibility that SpaceX never manages the hassle of rideshare again and just passes the responsibility off to brokers (raising costs). For many operators, building for Starship would only make sense if there are consistent rideshare missions throughout the year to launch their 1, 2, or 3 sats at a time. Which is possible. But again, largely unfilled Starships negate the $/kg declines. Essentially, Starship is matched with 95% of mass to orbit needs, but not 95% of the needs of operators in the market. A fully reusable Nova block 2 vehicle could be a better product-market fit at a smaller size. Same goes for Neutron, Terran R, and Eclipse, for that matter.

🚨BREAKING: Mai Vang, the councilwoman refusing to pledge allegiance, allowed 83 new city fees to be added in Sacramento. How can we vote for her in Congressional District 7 when she not only is disloyal to the country, but also made zero noise when the following fees were added: 1. Electric Sign Permit (for businesses): Jumped from $30 to $216 (a ~620% increase). One of the largest percentage hikes. 2. Boot (Wheel Clamp) Removal Fee: Raised to $150. 3. Micro-Homes / Supported Housing Fee (for formerly homeless residents): New charge of up to 30% of gross income after 90 days in the program. 4. Lost Parking Ticket Fee (in city garages): New or adjusted fees ranging from $30 to $37. 5. EV Charging Overstay Fee: New $5 per hour for exceeding posted time limits at city stations. The answer is clear. Mai Vang will not be fiscally responsible in Congress as she was against program cuts to manage a giant deficit. Her parents fled during the communist Laotian war to come here and she has no ounce of gratitude for the political position she was placed in.

Caleb Durbin immediately jumps off the page as yet another breakout candidate acquired by Boston this offseason. On the surface, Durbin's production isn't necessarily eye-popping. As a rookie in '25: ⚾️ .721 OPS ⚾️ 6% BB / 10% K ⚾️ .312 xwOBA ⚾️ 105 wRC+ ⚾️ 2.6 fWAR So, what stands out regarding Durbin? I. Elite Swing Decisions & Whiff-Ability. Facing major league pitching for the first time in his career, Durbin registered the 5th-best K% (10%) in MLB last year. His 94% zCon rate (T-5th in MLB) is also elite. Durbin's whiff% and chase% also ranked inside the 95th percentile (or better). We're talking about a bat with some similar contact traits like we see in Jacob Wilson, for example, but with far less chase and a bit more pullside thump. He squares up the ball well (33% — 95th PCTL) and pairs that ability with taking a steady amount of walks. Point blank, the 25-year-old is a demon at limiting whiff. II. Power Surge? It's All in the Pull Air%. A gigantic reason it's so easy to pencil Durbin in as a breakout candidate is his fantastic park fit at Fenway. As a rookie, Durbin turned in an above-average 41% pull rate, plus an even-better 20% pull air rate. Utilizing that approach with a big target in left field will work wonders for his OPS. I don't expect Durbin to mash 20+ HR out of nowhere, but I'd certainly bank on seeing a number of flyouts simply turn into doubles or homers at home. III. Quality Defense. Breslow talked a lot about upgrading defense, and this move certainly does that. I've been very vocal since the start of the offseason that Mayer at 2B, not 3B, would be my preference for a multitude of reasons. Durbin (who can play all over the infield), enters the building as a plus defender at 3B. As a rookie, Durbin turned in 2 OAA, 5 DRS, 5 rPM, and 1 FRV at the hot corner. Sliding Mayer over to second base allows for easier platoon management with Romy Gonzalez — who saw an increase in his defensive production at 2B a year ago — and yes, is an upgrade over Alex Bregman's 1 DRS in 2025. IV. Handling Velo. Something that shouldn't get overlooked is Durbin's ability to handle velocity — a department the Red Sox obviously needed to upgrade in after last season. In '25 vs. FA-types 94+ mph: ⚾️ .258 BA → .275 xBA ⚾️ .350 SLG → .375 xSLG ⚾️ .319 wOBA → .337 xwOBA ⚾️ 8% whiff rate — — — Overall, I'm really ecstatic about the Durbin acquisition. This is FAR better than signing Suarez and calling it a day, imo. Can't forget Durbin is a guy the Red Sox have under team control for a while now (2032 UFA!). Utilizing Harrison — who's name has been yanked around between trade talks or a move to the bullpen — is a great piece of business. The comp pick is also massive, but we'll talk more about that soon. I think at his best, Durbin could lead off for the Red Sox by the end of '26. A legit breakout candidate and bag stealing threat with a high floor thanks to limited swing-and-miss and good defense. Really looking forward to see him more in camp.

Caleb Durbin immediately jumps off the page as yet another breakout candidate acquired by Boston this offseason. On the surface, Durbin's production isn't necessarily eye-popping. As a rookie in '25: ⚾️ .721 OPS ⚾️ 6% BB / 10% K ⚾️ .312 xwOBA ⚾️ 105 wRC+ ⚾️ 2.6 fWAR So, what stands out regarding Durbin? I. Elite Swing Decisions & Whiff-Ability. Facing major league pitching for the first time in his career, Durbin registered the 5th-best K% (10%) in MLB last year. His 94% zCon rate (T-5th in MLB) is also elite. Durbin's whiff% and chase% also ranked inside the 95th percentile (or better). We're talking about a bat with some similar contact traits like we see in Jacob Wilson, for example, but with far less chase and a bit more pullside thump. He squares up the ball well (33% — 95th PCTL) and pairs that ability with taking a steady amount of walks. Point blank, the 25-year-old is a demon at limiting whiff. II. Power Surge? It's All in the Pull Air%. A gigantic reason it's so easy to pencil Durbin in as a breakout candidate is his fantastic park fit at Fenway. As a rookie, Durbin turned in an above-average 41% pull rate, plus an even-better 20% pull air rate. Utilizing that approach with a big target in left field will work wonders for his OPS.

🇨🇺 Cuba President Diaz-Canel, on Fidel Castro's 100th birthday: "To be a Fidelista is not to profess blind faith; it is an honorable attitude toward life. To be a Fidelista means defining ourselves as permanent anti-imperialist fighters, against every injustice in the world. And celebrating the eternity of the Commander in Chief means, above all, defeating once again those who tried to assassinate him more than 600 times and only succeeded in magnifying his stature. The soldier of ideas is back in a way that must terrify his adversaries. The resurgence of fascism across the world is imposing on the Global South an ideological war that, in its cultural and media dimensions, insists on shielding capitalism as our hegemonic destiny, subordinate to imperialist logic, seeking to erase historical memory, to recolonize us culturally and break our identities. At the same time, and toward those same ends, the media war unfolds, with its campaigns of disinformation and poison, directed against the most elementary human values as if they were obsolete, to justify wars and acts of aggression as incompatible with international law as the genocide in Gaza, the aggression against Iran, or the energy blockade on Cuba. Fidel lives in every Cuban medical professional who saves a life, most of the time without even having the indispensable medicine. In the educators who abandon the classroom neither in the city nor in the mountains. When future historians look back through time searching for Fidel Castro Ruz, the Commander in Chief, they will no longer see just one man: they will see his people, and the millions who, inspired by his exemplary life, earned their place in history by standing up, unbowed, to the most powerful and criminal empire, and prevailing.

“My aim is to see Apollo Hospitals open their 100th branch as a CM in this term” - Revanth Reddy, Telangana CM Not Gandhi Hospital Not Osmania Hospital Not NIMS Hospital Not Nilofer Hospital Not MGM Warangal Not Basti Dawakhanas Not 109 Ambulances The CM gives private medical giant Apollo Hospitals a target to grow their business. In India, most middle class families are one hospitalisation away from poverty. One hospitalisation at such private medical facilities will sweep away of your life’s earnings. As of early 2026, roughly 10 crore people annually are pushed below the poverty line due to private hospital medical bills. The poor in this country cannot even step into these hospitals, & government hospitals are in utter ruin. Governments like those run by CM’s like him have no budget to even get basic machinery or recruiting new doctors. During YS Rajashekar Reddy’s tenure he took the best possible decision for public health when he started the Arogyashri scheme where even BPL families could go and get treated at private hospitals. The current Congress government promised to increase Arogyasri benefits from ₹ 5 lakh to ₹ 10 lakh. But reduced the beneficiaries. Not just that, Telangana government has Rs 1400 crore to Rs 1500 crore pending Arogyasri bills. Every now and then the private hospital association threatens to stop all medical services under Arogyasri. Former minister T Harish Rao, did raise the issue during the recent Assembly session. Basti Dawakhanas that did tremendous work during COVID, today are struggling with lack of even basic medicines. TIMS Sanathnagar that was started in the BRS regime and was 80 percent completed, is awaiting inaugural for months under Revanth Reddy. There is so much that needs to be done for healthcare in Telangana. But! CM Revanth Reddy is busy inaugurating private hospitals. Sometimes he goes with his entire cabinet for their ribbon-cutting ceremonies. On top of that, he is very happy to become their brand ambassador and promote them too.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: It’s truly something that Senator Raphael Warnock is more concerned about the accuracy of a hand count than the results churned out by Dominion Voting Machines. His fear? That a hand count could show Trump won Georgia, while the Dominion machines show Kamala Harris as the victor, leading to the state refusing to certify Harris's win. This isn’t just a hypothetical concern—Warnock is suggesting that hand counts could reveal discrepancies, and apparently, that’s a problem. But shouldn’t the goal be to ensure the candidate who gets the most votes actually wins, regardless of the method? Let’s break this down. Each precinct in Georgia is responsible for hand-counting around 1,900 ballots within a five-hour window. That’s hardly an insurmountable task. It’s actually a highly manageable one that ensures the vote tallies reported by Dominion machines are accurate. If these machines are as flawless as their defenders claim, then what’s the harm in double-checking? A hand count would only serve to confirm the machines’ accuracy, wouldn’t it? Warnock seems to believe that a hand count showing a different outcome would cause chaos. But here’s the solution: if discrepancies are found that could alter the election outcome, those ballots can—and should—be hand-counted again, as many times as needed, to ensure the most accurate results. That's how you ensure that the true will of the voters is reflected, not through blind trust in machines but through verification when needed. So, why the resistance to hand counts? If the machines and hand counts match up, great—everyone wins. But if they don't, it’s democracy doing its job—catching errors and correcting course. The real question here is: why is Senator Warnock so worried about verifying the results? Could it be that some are afraid the hand count might not align with the narrative they’re pushing?

WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Delivers The Greatest Breakdown of the 2024 Election in Under Three Minutes — 'We Are Running to Dismantle a System' | Vivek Ramaswamy This is mastery. The perfect articulation of what is currently transpiring in America. Vivek Ramaswamy just delivered what might be the most incisive explanation of the forces shaping the 2024 election and what Americans are truly facing. "You hear a lot of fellow Republicans refer to Kamala Harris as a far-left ideologue or a Marxist or a communist. You won't generally hear me levelling that critique against her because I think it gives her too much credit." "Kamala Harris isn't ideological particularly. I think last demonstrated this too." Ramaswamy argues that the real adversary is not a singular candidate, but rather a pervasive interconnected system; "We're not even up against a candidate. We're up against a machine. It's a perverted upside down version, hellish version of the San Antonio Spurs under Gregg Popovich or something like that in the sphere of American politics." "You could replace the individual person who's playing in the position, but it's the machine that ultimately achieves its objective, and that's what's really going on in this race." "This isn't about Republicans vs. Democrats. Not quite. It's not about Black vs. White. It's not about man vs. woman. The media, the powers that be will try to train you. Divide and conquer. Pit groups against one another. Identity politics. Vote bank politics. Don't fall for that trick." According to Ramaswamy, the true divide is between the managerial class and everyday citizens. "It is about the managerial class, the bureaucratic class and the everyday citizen. That's the real divide in this country." "You've seen many former Democrats, even iconoclastic Democrats that have criticized candidate like Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, even from a progressive vantage point, now shifting over to support Donald Trump." "So what's going on there?" "I think it is evidence of the fact of the real divide is not really between the traditional Republican and the Democrat, but between this managerial class, the people who were never elected to exercise political power." "Be they in the media, be they in certain parts of the corporate capture machine or especially be they in the administrative state, the unelected bureaucrats who are writing more laws and setting more policies than even Congress which was elected to actually cary out that function, that's who's actually running the country." "It's not Joe Biden——it's not even really Kamala Harris, it's not their ideology because I don't think they have one." "It is the permanent state." "The fourth branch of government." "The leviathan." "The swamp." "The managerial class." "The committee class." "The bureaucrats." "That's who's running the show today. And that's what we're really up against. We're not just running to defeat a candidate, we are running to dismantle a system." "That's what Donald Trump meant the first time around when he said he wanted to go in there and drain the swamp, and I think this time more than ever, he has the toolkit to actually do it."
