Kazuma Okamoto just hit his first home run in Major League Baseball. What a debut this has been for the Japanese star with the #BlueJays

@CXCarroll @CountDankulaTV weight gain?

The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

@PeepMySlashLine 💯He did not give them a discount. They offered the most lucrative deal, period.

“You’ve given the Blue Jays a discount throughout your current contract” It’s a contract Gausman agreed to sign. Nobody was saying it was team-friendly at the time. That’s not giving a discount, dumbass

@JpbLiberty @WarintheFuture 🤣There is nothing coherent about US strategy anymore

@WarintheFuture If you can't see US's strategically coherent strategy you shouldn't be in this business. Venezuela, Cuba, Iran = stripping China & Russia of proxies, allow US pivot to Asia. Israel in charge of ME. Test of NATO loyalty pre-sages Ukraine war exit & Russia deal to split from China.

"America & Iran are fighting two very different wars and have two different theories of victory. China & others in the authoritarian learning & adaptation bloc are observing closely & learning." An assessment of where we are, & who is learning from the Iran War. 1/6 🧵

@vladdyguerrero @DownToBlack When a pitch just misses the strike zone (within one baseball of the zone), Schneider had those balls called a strike 29% of the time, highest in the league.

@DownToBlack Is anyone able to explain this to me like im 5

This is a counting stat... If you change it to a rate basis where the denominator is pitches within one ball width of the strike zone, but out of it... and not swung at... and the numerator is called strikes within that set.... You get: 1. Davis Schneider - 29%

@MrAndrewBernard @JakeDRill As a 40yo (ish) white guy I find this offensive🤣

@JakeDRill Great for all the 40 year old white guys that play

@PazzaMamma9 @ZacksJerryRig @DonHuffines as weird as raping children?

@ZacksJerryRig @DonHuffines Posting this on X seems boastful and self serving. And honestly just weird.

Dear @DonHuffines, We have reason to believe that there are several young females illegally buried on your current property. (Formerly known as Epstein Ranch) I will pay for 100% of the costs to professionally scan and exhume the remains. As a republican running for public office in Texas I'm sure you would want to help put an end to this terrible chapter of US History. My DMs are open. We can give the bodies the respect they deserve. - Zack Nelson

@VacSafety @Rainmaker1973 that's the dumbest logic🤣

@Rainmaker1973 So I guess the team can distinguish between those suffering from Covid vaccine injury (microclotting, etc.) and those who only had Covid and so must be suffering from Long Covid. If they had a vaccine, you can't call it Long Covid. It's long vaccine injury.

A groundbreaking study has pinpointed a microscopic culprit behind the debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and other persistent symptoms of long COVID: abnormal, sticky microclots embedded with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in patients' blood. These microclots—tiny aggregates of clotting proteins—are small enough to obstruct the body's tiniest blood vessels (capillaries), restricting oxygen delivery to tissues and organs without triggering obvious large-scale clotting events. In long COVID patients, researchers observed a dramatic ~20-fold increase (median 19.7 times higher) in the number of these microclots compared to healthy controls, with the clots also tending to be larger. What sets this finding apart is the discovery that these microclots are structurally intertwined with NETs—web-like structures of DNA, enzymes (such as myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase), and proteins released by neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) to ensnare pathogens. Normally, NETs form temporarily and then dissolve, but in long COVID, they persist and become physically embedded within the microclots, creating highly resistant, "gummy" structures that evade the body's natural clot-breaking processes (fibrinolysis). This creates a chronic thromboinflammatory state, where blocked microcirculation and ongoing low-grade inflammation may sustain symptoms like exhaustion and cognitive impairment. The differences were so pronounced that machine learning models analyzing anonymized blood samples (via fluorescence microscopy for markers like ThT for amyloid-like structures, DNA stains, and MPO for NETs) could distinguish long COVID patients from healthy individuals with 91% accuracy—offering a potential objective biomarker for a condition that has long evaded reliable diagnosis through standard tests (e.g., normal D-dimer, PT/INR, or aPTT levels despite significant microclot burden). This work, led by teams including Prof. Etheresia Pretorius (Stellenbosch University) and Dr. Alain Thierry (Montpellier University), reframes long COVID as a tangible, blood-based disorder driven by dysregulated coagulation and innate immunity rather than vague "post-viral malaise." Targeting NETs or microclots—perhaps with therapies to degrade NETs or prevent their stabilization—could open doors to treating root causes instead of merely alleviating symptoms. [Thierry, A. R., Usher, T., Sanchez, C., Turner, S., Venter, C., Pastor, B., Waters, M., Thompson, A., Mirandola, A., Pisareva, E., Prevostel, C., Laubscher, G. J., Kell, D. B., & Pretorius, E. (2025). Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients. Journal of Medical Virology, 97(10), e70613.

@KeeganMatheson this is great, Keegs!

Come check out Dylan Cease’s side session with me in #BlueJays camp:

@Casualty01 @Damon98_ OP literally said that ERA is the last thing he looks at when projecting an RP forward. This is his ranking, based on the criteria that he mentioned. I'm not saying you're right or wrong. You're just having a different argument.

@gabe_hoops @Damon98_ Except for giving up runs, which is the point of the whole thing. 🤣. And I guess MLB network are idiots, because he’s been on the top 10 list the last two years.

Top 15 RP's for 2026 (opinion) 1. Mason Miller 2. Edwin Díaz 3. Cade Smith 4. Jhoan Duran 5. Andrés Muñoz 6. Adolis Chapman 7. Devin Williams 8. Josh Hader 9. Griffin Jax 10. Adrian Morejon 11. Grant Taylor 12. Alex Vesia 13. Garrett Cleavinger 14. Abner Uribe 15. David Bednar

@Casualty01 @Damon98_ It's fantastic. But that also means that 6% of the league is better than him. And he's middling in a lot of other categories.

@gabe_hoops @Damon98_ 94% Wiff rate isn’t good? He had 99 percentile last year. That seems good

@Damon98_ Where do you see Hoffman, and would he be the fourth Blue Jay for you (after Fisher, Varland and Rogers)?

@Casualty01 @Damon98_ correct me if I'm wrong @Damon98_ but I believe these are the only metrics you'd really be looking at on the savant page? The ones under Value are results based. xERA is a pretty useless stat imo. If so, it looks good but not elite.

@Damon98_ Like these you mean? Red means good I think…

@culdefoudre @jcalvinmeyer @Mikephowes *pedo

@jcalvinmeyer @Mikephowes An ultra-wealthy financier meeting with another ultra-wealthy financier? At this point, I would've been surprised if he wasn't in the files!

Orioles owner David Rubenstein met with Jeffrey Epstein in 2012 — 4 years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor — per the DOJ's Epstein files. Rubenstein's spokesperson said they met one time for 20 minutes. w/ @Mikephowes: baltimoresun.com/2026/02/12/ori…

@JustEsBaraheni "discovered"

It was discovered post trade huh

@GeneBoulderVB @jcmccaffrey cope

@jcmccaffrey Because they knew what pitches were coming. It's already been reported.

Four months after his much-criticized baserunning in the World Series, Isiah Kiner-Falefa addressed the infamous play. He also said the Jays wanted to play the Yankees in the ALDS because they felt New York was a "better match up" for them than Red Sox nytimes.com/athletic/70368…

@GeneBoulderVB @jcmccaffrey 🤡

@KeeganMatheson @4RosesBourbon Great writer, great book! Of course you're a man with exceptional (Canadian) taste.

For years now, on the night before #BlueJays camp opens, I buy myself a bottle of bourbon and read my favourite book. These are the good days. Enjoy the season, wherever it takes you. 🥃

@TeslaDon23MYLR @robsmithonline loser ratio here

@robsmithonline I don't get these weirdos who don't know that Covid ended three years ago. And is there really anybody out there who hasn't had it yet? I've had it about five times, and the last coupe times was like a mild cold.

COVID weirdos still exist and I’m sitting next to two on this flight. The mask, wiping down everything, the whole bit. I had no idea people still lived like this. At this point, it’s certifiable. A legit mental illness.
