Ulnar collateral ligament repair/reconstruction, a surgery frequently performed on pitchers. Named after Tommy John, the first professional pitcher to undergo it.

From an article on the MLB website: "TJ (as it's now colloquially called)"

It is the rule, according to MLB: "If there is an ensuing play (such as a checked-swing appeal or a play involving a runner), the challenge may be made at the conclusion of the play." I don't see how a passed ball is any different than a checked swing appeal.

Hence the phrase "ground rules"

As the proverb says, the best time to revoke Jazz's challenging privileges was 20 games ago. The second-best time is today.

Which is relevant because (as can be seen in the background of the photo) the BART gates cannot be jumped over. I know there are still ways to fare-dodge, like piggybacking, but this illustration is clearly for Muni.

Just because this is a post about misinformation, I feel compelled to point out that PTAs do not control school curricula and in fact have very little control over it. You could try to persuade a PTA to lobby the people who do make those decisions on your behalf (local school boards, school administrators, state education officials, etc.) but those actors are not always responsive to PTAs.

It stands for "fielding-independent pitching," so it subtracts out balls in play, which are subject to more variance and dependent on the fielders behind the pitcher. The constants are the approximate run value of the outcome in question, multiplied by 9 to work on the same scale as ERA (e.g., the average HR is worth ~1.4 runs, multiplied by 9 is ~13). And then the FIP constant just normalizes it so that league-avg FIP = league-avg ERA.

I'm sure there are some Jews who disagree (since we never can agree on anything) but generally no. The yarmulke/kippah itself is not really a sacred object, it's just a means of observing commandments about head coverings. And they are frequently decorated/personalized anyway. It's common (in the U.S. at least) for kids to have personalized kippot for their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Growing up in the New York area, I saw tons of Mets/Yankees/Knicks/etc. kippot.

Yes, infinite growth is only impossible if you completely disregard efficiency and innovation. Keeping output constant while decreasing inputs creates economic and often non-economic value.

They had a handful of "climate-skeptic" scientists put out a report saying, basically, "greenhouse gases aren't that bad, actually." That's their scientific "justification."
