@MMFlint @madamjujujive respectfully, that article tells me more of a story in which state government effectively limited proposed cuts. – 03:02 AM GMT
@MMFlint @madamjujujive and sure, the Times is a union-breaking monopoly that can be counted to frame a story to the center right. – 03:03 AM GMT
@MMFlint @madamjujujive but we are just finishing the wettest March in recorded history. Would no cuts have saved the hill? maybe. – 03:05 AM GMT
@MMFlint @madamjujujive would no cuts have stopped the rain? nope. As a local, my eye doesn’t zero in on the logging as much as the rain. – 03:06 AM GMT
@MMFlint @madamjujujive But of course cuts will affect water flow, and especially in historic conditions. – 03:07 AM GMT

Tanaka SI feature

In Masahiro Tanaka, Yankees buy a ready-made ace – MLB – Tom Verducci – SI.com

The innings and pitches just kept piling up. In one stretch of five starts in 2009, at age 20, Tanaka threw 124, 137, 142, 125 and 137 pitches. Angels ace Jered Weaver hasn’t thrown 124 pitches in a game that many times in his entire eight-year career, covering 231 starts. Two years later, in just the second week of spring training, Tanaka threw 520 pitches over five throwing sessions that spanned seven days, capped by a 207-pitch bullpen only two days after a 120-pitch session.

Explained Tanaka after his 207-pitch marathon, “I wanted to find out if I could keep pitching using the [right] form despite throwing a lot of pitches. I wanted to throw a session where I was tired from the start.”
