CT’s “fiscal guardrails” were supposed to capture only unreliable revenues — funds that would be there one year but not the next — to pay down debt. But it didn’t work that way. (1/2)

@BenBadler Thanks Ben! Any word why Johenssy Colome and Wandy Asigen both have been held out of the first 2 games of the season?

[KFF Health News @KFFHealthNews]

As part of a yearlong investigation, the @CTMirror and KFF Health News interviewed more than three dozen patients sued by hospitals and physician groups over medical bills. https://t.co/Qm9AwigrOX

@jensen_juicy Thanks Alex! Any word why Johenssy Colome was left out of the opening day line-up? #pleasedontbeinjured

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@jensen_juicy Thanks Alex. Does Dos Santos have much physical projection? I’ve read he’s pretty slim, even given his age

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@BenBadler @CarlosACollazo Am I crazy or does Dylan Seward have as much ceiling or more as the other top names in the 2027 draft (Dax Whitney, Brendan Lawson?)

@IanSmittyGA @PrepBaseballCA @ShooterHunt Thanks for your great work, Ian! Am I crazy or does Seward have as much ceiling or more as the other top names in the 2027 draft (Dax Whitney, Brendan Lawson?)

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@California_PG @NorcoBaseball_ @PG_Scouting Thanks for all your great work! How would you stack Dylan Seward up against the top players in the 2026 draft (Cholowsky, Emerson, Lackey?)

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@GeoffPontesBA @BaseballAmerica @jjcoop36 @jnorris427 Thanks so much!

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@LouisAnalysis Thanks for your great work! Does De Los Santos have some projectability with is frame, some potential for average power? How high do you believe his ceiling reaches?

@JoeDoyleMiLB @OverSlot_ @Turn2Grady @JaceMataczynski @jacob_lombard23 @will_yow33 @james_clark_22 @c_comeau31 @lukewill1210 Joe, can a real case be made for Grady Emerson having a higher ceiling than Roch Cholowsky?

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@jensen_juicy Sorry. Sloppy typing and auto-correct turned "K %" into "aka"

[Jenna Carlesso @JNCWriter]

The senate has passed a bill that would impose consumer protections, require greater financial transparency from long-term care insurance providers, and allow the attorney general to investigate carriers, following @ctmirror reporting.

@BenBadler @CarlosACollazo Thanks Ben and Carlos. Please tell me the Cardinals have a long term plan for Rainiel Rodriguez that is more than a DH. Can he at least play 1B or LF if he doesn’t catch?

[Keith Phaneuf @CTMirrorKeith]

@jnorris427 Love Ronny Cruz, but any thoughts why Nationals would promote him Monday to High A when he had a 64% contact % at Low A? Thanks Josh!

Lawsuits by doctors and other nonhospital providers now dominate health care collections in Connecticut, legal records show, accounting for more than 80% of cases filed against patients in recent years.

Lawsuits by doctors and other non-hospital providers now dominate health care collections in Connecticut.

CT Mirror and KFF Health News analyzed thousands of lawsuits against patients. This is the first story in a series.

@EricCrossMLB Thanks Eric. Speaking of ridiculous starts, am I wrong to be blown away by Josiah Hartshorn’s numbers (small sample aside)? .524 OBP, .515 wOBA, 23.8% bb, 2.4% k (not a typo) in 42 PA at age 19 in Carolina League. Even his BABIP is reasonable (.345)
