Alright so we're a couple of days behind schedule but let's dig into this paper where we look at how CRF affects the insular cortex and whether this is necessary for detecting stress cues in social interactions.

New in @npp_journal: Insular cortex corticotropin-releasing factor integrates stress signaling with social affective behavior

@notbobkoz I could see Freddy getting more than Skubal. I get that Skubal is a significantly better pitcher but Freddy would be way cheaper and not coming off an elbow injury. There's at least some risk you're lighting 16million on fire with Skubal and I think non LA/NY teams won't bid

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

Dexter was an absolutely preposterous show and that's why it worked

[cheyenne @varneydavampire]

@softboywin and then there’s this 😭

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@ZineAFC Especially seeing as we haven't had a single player come in under Arteta and significantly improve their finishing. He's been a great coach at a lot of things but that is not one of them.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

There's a surprising number of players who have no business having a spot with the Brewers but Woodford is top of the list.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

It was fun while it lasted Coleman Crow but uhhh... It's looking a bit rough now.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@ZineAFC I think some folks are really underestimating Rogers and the step up he could take in a better team.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

Wemby with some absolutely comical plays down the stretch. Great stuff.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@notbobkoz No one has ever cared about pitcher of the month until this month lol

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

David Raya is kicking his feet up in Chattanooga right now lmao

[Aaron West @oeste]

world cup preparation in the US is so funny. the concept of mo salah and the egyptian national team in cleveland, ohio is ridiculous to me.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@notbobkoz But it would be insanely out of character!

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@notbobkoz I could see the Brewers moving for Skubal if they think they're one starting pitcher away from a title. I'm not sure they do though. Could also see them worrying about how Miz and Harrison hold up into the fall and seeing Skubal as a guarantee against that.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

A Freddy Peralta special against his old team. You love to see it.

[not bob kozlowski @notbobkoz]

10 strikeouts in 4 innings (12 outs)

Absolutely insane stuff from Harrison against his former team

Thanks Giants and Red Sox ♥️

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@notbobkoz The Brewers are good at a lot of things but challenging pitches does not seem to be one of them.

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@notbobkoz Blake's rarely played and they sent him down multiple times this year lol. It'll be interesting to see who the first position player up is though. I know they've been doing alright in AAA but that jump with the fact they probably wouldn't play everyday could be a rough transition

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

@notbobkoz It sucks we can't afford to send him down. Give him a few weeks in the lab and some confidence and he's got the juice to be another number 1 sooner than later

Welcome to the Giannis sweepstakes OKC

Bring back the B genre movie. Audiences yearn for B movies

[Daniel Dami Biu @damiebi10]

I miss when even bad movies had sauce…
Now they’re just bland car commercials 😭

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

The Brewers:

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

I get the Brewers are reticent to eat his contract but DFAing him and bringing up one of the prospects feels like a no brainer at this point. At least Ortiz (glove) and Hamilton (chaos) give you something as utility options.

[not bob kozlowski @notbobkoz]

I tried warning everyone about Rengifos defense at 3B

I really tried

[Nathan Rieger @rnscott12]

If you're going to play him at all probably better that he starts and you can correct the mistake if he's not looking good enough than bring him on as a sub late and have him not be able to get up to speed and be stuck with it.

[cmbftbl @cmbftbl]

Starting Timber seems illogical
