Bobcats can easily jump several meters and if they are jumping across something, like this weir in Pecan Island, Louisiana, their leap can reach 6 meters

29 MLB teams have at least one pitcher who has thrown a quality start (6 innings, 3 or fewer runs allowed) this year.

The Red Sox have not had a starter throw a pitch in the 6th inning yet this season.

And this is why most of my friends gave up writing near-future sf, because this is horribly, hilariously plausible and NOBODY saw it coming.

From the Padres' release:

"Bogaerts joined Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman as the only three players with an .825+ OPS in each season from 2018-22 ..."

After Maine implemented a statewide vaccine mandate, of the more than 33,000 healthcare workers employed at the 2 largest healthcare providers in the state, only 65 people quit over the mandate. That's 0.19%.

Vaccine mandates work.

This kitten was adopted by James Wiseman (a pro basketball player), which was lucky, because they'd been stretching and strengthening their neck muscles for just such an opportunity.

December 18th is the Feast Day of Calico Cats. Calicos, tortoiseshells, and other tri-colored cats are considered avatars of the divine today. Feeding them canned food is said to bring good luck.

I have always wanted to know what happens if a baseball goes supersonic. The new video is the quest to make that happen, and how we did it. As strange as it sounds, the video is almost secondary in my mind to the engineering challenge.

This had to happen

The Sox are carrying 15 pitchers and could end up with a position player pitching in this game.

Maybe two at this rate. They still have 3+ innings to cover.

Peraza went 1.1 scoreless innings for the Reds last year. On this team that's enough to be the No. 3 starter.
