Jhoan, Roa. Rio de Janeiro 2021

[justonebigbee]

Some major league baseball teams have started creating these cinematic, intense performances for their closing pitchers when they come out at the end of the game. Lights and music and audience participation galore. Usually broadcasters use the time to go to commercial break but people have been begging the Minnesota Twins broadcast to air the intro of their own closing pitcher, Jhoan Duran ever since he started the routine.

The broadcasters refused to lose out on the ad revenue, and eventually an opposing team decided to be the first ones to air it. (Thank you to the NY Mets!)

Imagine having such a cool (and intimidating) intro that a different team thinks it's worth it to show all the viewers at home understand what's going on at the field:

My stance on RPF is as follows:

Don't be weird to the real people about it, obviously. They're all straight and married and this is purely for fun

If I'm going to hell for this, I was probably already going for something else

There is nothing more creatively motivating than seeing something that absolutely no one else is talking about

We all need some source of joy and entertainment from our sports teams even when they lose. Especially then

It's really great writing/analysis practice, especially since I don't have another main fandom at the moment

My pitch for this specifically:

I like ships that have narratives and are hard. Stuff like Keplanco is great but I need to pepe silvia conspiracy board a ship to feel alive

I think Duran is the second hottest player on the team and I project onto Jeffers as an ambitious former STEM guy

I mean, have you seen Jeffers in official social media content?

Every facet of baseball fandom desperately needs more focus/appreciation of the Latin players and I will gladly lead that charge

I was sitting down the third-base line for the 2023 playoff clinch game and had the perfect view of Duran grabbing Jeffers's helmet after the final out and it rewired my brain chemistry

Trump is promising to be a dictator and his supporters are expressing support for crimes against humanity committed by the late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Three years ago, the Intercept published an illuminating article about the rise of the “Hoppean snake” among far-right extremists, a meme which the Intercept labelled especially “disturbing for its frightening historical reference”. For the uninitiated, the Hoppean Snake in its various forms usually depicts a serpent wearing the military hat of the American-backed Chilean dictator Gen Augusto Pinochet in the foreground while figures are dropping out of helicopters to their death in the background. The meme specifically refers to Pinochet’s known strategy of kidnapping, torturing, killing, and – here’s the point – throwing his political opponents out of helicopters and into the ocean to dispose of them. The Intercept noted that many groups and individuals on the far right, such as the “Boogaloo Bois, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, armed Trumpists, and the like wear T-shirts that offer ‘free helicopter rides’.” and when they do so, “they are referencing a program of extermination.” It’s alarming to see such rhetoric from the far-right fringes; imagine seeing this kind of political violence being advocated by a sitting politician or someone seeking the highest office in the land. Well, you don’t have to imagine it any more. Last week, the Republican congressman Mike Collins of Georgia did just that. On Twitter/X,, Collins commented on a widely circulated picture of Jhoan Boada, a man who was recently arrested for allegedly assaulting two police officers in New York City outside a migrant shelter. Boada was one of seven men arrested, and multiple reports refer to him as a “migrant”. After leaving court, Boada was photographed raising his two middle fingers to reporters as he walked away. The picture prompted Republican congressman Anthony D’Esposito of New York to offer the racist riposte: “We feel the same way about you. Holla at the cartels and have them escort you back.” Collins then joined in. “Or we could buy him a ticket on Pinochet Air for a free helicopter ride back,” he wrote. As HuffPost’s Christopher Mathias, who covers the far right, put it on X: “So we have a congressman joking or not joking about extrajudicially executing a migrant arrested for a crime (allegedly assaulting a cop) that tons of non-migrant citizens get arrested for too.” Mathias also notes that the “free helicopter ride” meme has been popular with white supremacists and neo-fascists for about the last seven years. [ ... ] Jews, Muslims, immigrants – everything is a threat. Violence is the solution. Opponents should be assassinated. Fascists are role models. Welcome to the Republican party in the year 2024.

Pinochet was a general who seized power in Chile in 1973. Very likely he had backing from the Nixon administration which was in the midst of Watergate. Pinochet immediately set about torturing and murdering his opponents. He remained in power until 1990 when he lost a referendum on whether he should remain as dictator. He actually expected to win that referendum or he wouldn't have held it; such is the self-delusion of the far right.

Once a dictator comes to power, there are few controls over when he or she leaves. People should believe Trump and his lickspittles when they talk dictatorship.

Snooty ideological purists who condone voting for impotent third parties or sitting out the 2024 election should be publicly scorned.

If Biden wins then you know there will be a free and fair election in 2028. If Trump wins, the best you can expect is a Russia-style election where Putin chooses who his opponents will be.

NOTE: Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, who made that racist reply to Rep. Mike Collins, represents NY-04 which is a swing seat south of NY-03 which was formerly represented by fabulist George Santos. NY-04 has a Cook Partisan Voter Index of D+5; Joe Biden got 56.8% of the vote there. So in case you need it, here's the site of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Guys, Duran has never been more back.

Nothing better than seeing that Fox broadcast scorebug flash the flame effect over and over and seeing 103 and 104 for pretty much the first time all season. Almost doubled his number of 102+ mph pitches on the season; 8 before tonight and 7 tonight. This is the Duran we're used to seeing. Also career save #50 for him!

What a great way to end the game, where we somehow won the Correa-less, Buxton-less, Miranda-less, Vazquez-3B game despite continued shenanigans and stranding runners.

(Also my dad texted me immediately after the game about Duran's velo because I have a Brand™️ lmao)

Authorities now say six of the migrants accused of jumping a pair of police officers in Times Square took off for California — and the group involved in the assault is being eyed in a larger conspiracy in which the immigrants use Apple Pay on stolen phones to buy cars and pools, police sources said.

In addition, immigration warrants have now been issued for several of those who fled, a senior law enforcement source said.

The violent group is part of a larger conspiracy involving other new arrivals in the city.

The migrants first steal phones from victims and then use Apple Pay and credit cards to make large purchases back in their home countries, the sources said.

“They’re buying cars back in Ecuador and Venezuela,” the police source said. “They’re putting pools in their homes there. All this money is going back and forth. That’s why the larcenies are going out of control. It’s unbelievable what they’re doing.” 

They believe the activities are organized and gang related, but aren’t sure which gangs or crews are involved at this point, the sources said.

The gang Tren de Aragua from Venezuela is one of those being eyed in the criminal activity, the sources confirmed. Former NYPD Chief of Intelligence John Miller first reported on the link on CNN Friday.  

Police have an idea of where the men are, but can’t pick them up unless they miss their court dates since they were released without bail, the source said.

The fleeing migrants were thought to have gone to a faith-based charity, who provided their bus tickets to the Golden State, but authorities now believe taxpayer money was used instead.

Big Apple migrants are given a special identification known as a “G number” when they arrive and are placed in the shelter system “to track them throughout the shelter system,” a source said.

They can use the numbers to get tickets to travel anywhere else in the US.

Cops are probing whether the Times Square migrants stole “G numbers” from others and used them to obtain the tickets. NYPD officers realized they’d fled when investigators recognized their images.

In all, seven migrants have been arrested so far in the assault, and sources said six more are being sought.

Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24, were released without bail and fled via bus to California, authorities have said. Three more have also been nabbed: Jhoan Boada, 22, Jandry Barros, 21, and Yohenry Brito, 24.

Brito is being held at Rikers Island on $15,000 cash bail. Boada was released without bail.

Within the last 24 hours, US Customs and Border Patrol have issued warrants for Gomez; Arocha; Juarez; Reveron; and Boada, a source said.

The officers were attacked on 42nd Street near Seventh Avenue around 8:30 p.m. after they were called to the area because of a robbery at an Aldo store there. Migrants hang out outside the nearby Candler Building and are known to rob handbags from the shoe store, the store manager there told The Post.
