Luis Castillo faces Dean Kremer as White Sox and Twins meet in crucial AL Central series

Luis Castillo faces Dean Kremer as White Sox and Twins meet in crucial AL Central series

The postseason race is heating up, and I'm here for it. I tend to think that baseball has the best postseason races. I'm not sure that I have a great justification for it, but I'll share my reasoning anyway. The NFL tends to have too many spots locked up too soon. The NBA has too many spots in general, and with essentially 20 teams getting some sort of playoff shot, it's just not interesting. The NHL has a pretty decent race, but the postseason itself for the NHL is more entertaining. With baseball, the trade deadline gets a flurry of moves, and then we see the race. No spot has been locked up yet, but we have a general idea of those with a true chance and those without.

The Chicago White Sox may actually pull this off. They are 70-63 for the season, and currently own a 2.5-game lead in the American League Central. However, the vast majority of their success has come at home. They are 29-36 on the road, and maybe that is just a sign of a young team. If you're a pessimistic Sox fan, you look at their road record and the fact that Cleveland is always lurking, and you can't be comfortable. However, the optimist says they are in control of their destiny and playing with house money this season, regardless of what happens.

They made their biggest splash in years by acquiring today's starter, Luis Castillo. It is hard to blame them for a lack of moves when the team was a disaster for the past few years, so it was nice to see them adding instead of subtracting. Castillo is having a rough year, though. For the season, he is 4-10 with a 5.19 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. Since coming over from Seattle, he has allowed 12 earned runs in 18.1 innings. He does have a good track record against the Twins, though. He has allowed them to hit just .228 against him in 123 at-bats.

The Minnesota Twins were one of those borderline teams at the deadline. You could've made a case to abandon the season and tell them to look to next year. However, they were in a position where they could also make a run at the division. They ultimately held onto their key pieces despite a lot of interest. The team hasn't been able to find their footing, though, and are now 6.5 games back in the division, and they are 64-70 at the moment. I suppose a series sweep here could go a long way if they want a true shot at the postseason.

Twins Promote Top-15 MLB Prospect OF Walker Jenkins To Make Debut vs. White Sox

The Twins did make some moves at the deadline, even if they didn't trade away the guys others wanted. They acquired today's starter, Dean Kremer, from the Orioles. For the year, Kremer is just 2-4 with a 5.22 ERA, but he has a strong 1.18 WHIP. Part of the issue is that he has allowed 14 homers in 58.2 innings. So he isn't allowing a ton of baserunners, but when people are hitting him, they are hitting him hard. Almost 30% of the hits he has allowed have left the yard. Sox hitters are batting just .205 against him in 39 at-bats.

I'm really not sure how a team can trust either of these guys right now. However, I have more faith in Kremer than I do Castillo. Essentially, it boils down to the traffic on the basepaths. Kremer allows fewer guys on the bases than Castillo, so I think he gives the Twins a better chance to win games. Give me the Twins tonight as they start this series with the White Sox.

Trump signs order creating new Space Academy akin to West Point, location to be determined

Trump signs order creating new Space Academy akin to West Point, location to be determined

President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order to establish the U.S. Space Academy.

Trump said the location of the academy was yet to be determined, but compared its significance to that of the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., and the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.

The U.S. Space Academy will be for students looking to enter the U.S. Space Force, a new branch of the military Trump created in his first term. Trump said it will also serve NASA and the civilian spaceflight industry.

"We're going to have an academy for what the people in this room love the most. That's exciting. That's really exciting. And I'm going to be choosing a location very shortly," Trump said during remarks at NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

The other purpose of the event was to award the four Artemis II astronauts with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Behind Trump stood more than a dozen astronauts throughout the ceremony.

After signing the executive order, Trump presented the vaunted award, which was first given to Neil Armstrong in 1978, to all four members of the Artemis II crew.

The crew consists of NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, the mission commander; NASA astronaut Victor Glover, the pilot; NASA astronaut Christina Koch, a mission specialist; and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, also a mission specialist.

"We gather here on these storied grounds to celebrate the immense courage and service of four intrepid space heroes whose sense of daring and adventure led them further from Earth and anyone has ever traveled before. Incredible," Trump said.

Trump called the crew members "great people," also thanking the engineers and scientists who worked on the Artemis II mission.

"Mr. President, it means a lot that you are here at the Johnson Space Center. It underscores the important work that is going on here in Mission Control, in furthering human exploration," Wiseman said when he was called up to speak. "Thank you for coming here today."

The four Artemis II astronauts launched aboard the Orion spacecraft on April 1, 2026, and spent nearly 10 days traveling around the Moon before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10. Their trajectory took them as far as 252,756 miles from Earth, farther than any humans had traveled before.

Unlike past missions to the Moon, the Artemis II team did not touch down on the lunar surface. Their mission was to fly around the Moon while testing the spacecraft and systems NASA plans to use for future lunar landings.

NASA says the mission served as a stepping stone for Artemis III, which is scheduled for 2027 and will involve a series of challenging tests in Earth orbit. Artemis IV, slated for early 2028, is then expected to send astronauts to the lunar South Pole for the first time.

The Artemis program's overall goal is to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.

"America has always been a frontier nation, and space is the highest of all the frontiers. Our manifest destiny is to explore and settle this great unknown," Trump said. "Americans were the first in flight, the first to the Moon, and will certainly be the first in space, no matter where it is. And I know we're going to be looking at Mars very shortly."

Trump also revealed NASA has begun to work on the first ever nuclear-powered "interplanetary spacecraft" that the space agency will use for the planned 2028 mission to Mars.

"They have to go nuclear because they have essentially unlimited fuel. You don't have to fill up the tanks," he said. "This ship will be among the first of what will ultimately be a massive American Star fleet, making space travel almost as common as ocean travel today, and bringing our military to a new level of excellence."

Throughout his speech, Trump blamed his predecessors for letting U.S. space programs languish.

"In particular, the Obama administration, we even lost our ability to send astronauts into orbit at all. We had no ability in space whatsoever. We totally lost it with everything we spent, with all of the talent and all of the genius and all of the money, we had nothing," the president said.

"Before the end of my term, American astronauts will return to the lunar surface," he said. "And when we do, they'll plant this very important flag to mark the site of the first permanent American settlement on the Moon."

Popular weight-loss strategy shows surprising potential for chronic pain relief

Popular weight-loss strategy shows surprising potential for chronic pain relief

Intermittent fasting has grown in popularity as a weight-loss strategy, but it could also unlock new ways to manage chronic pain by altering how the gut communicates with the brain.

A study published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, revealed that the timing of meals affects the gut-brain axis, which is a communication system linking the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system.

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that focuses on when meals are consumed, typically involving extended periods without food, according to health institutions.

DAILY EATING HABIT LINKED TO BETTER BRAIN HEALTH IN OLDER ADULTS, NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS

Chronic pain, defined by the Cleveland Clinic as pain persisting for longer than three months, is often accompanied by cognitive difficulties and anxiety.

While traditional treatments target inflammation or pain-signaling nerves, the new research suggests that meal timing may also influence chronic pain by changing gut bacteria and inflammation throughout the body.

Scientists at Zhengzhou University in China examined animal models during fasting cycles. They found that intermittent fasting strengthens the intestinal lining, which prevents inflammatory compounds from leaking into the bloodstream and reaching nervous system tissue.

SECRET TO WEIGHT LOSS MAY BE HIDING IN YOUR GUT, NEW STUDY SUGGESTS

Analysis of the gut microbiome found that fasting increased levels of a bacterium called Alistipes finegoldii. When researchers administered the live bacteria to animals that were not fasting, they saw similar improvements in pain and cognitive function.

POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS DIET SHOWS SURPRISING IMPACT ON SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION

The researchers found that the bacterium produces compounds that the body can convert into hippuric acid, a chemical messenger linked to the observed benefits.

At the cellular level, hippuric acid acts on an inflammatory pathway called STING, short for Stimulator of Interferon Genes. When this pathway becomes overactive in the nervous system, it can fuel inflammation that worsens pain and interferes with brain function.

The study demonstrated that hippuric acid turns down STING activity, quieting inflammatory signaling in the central nervous system and resolving behavioral symptoms.

Despite the findings, the research carries a few limitations, the research team acknowledged.

First, observational and early-stage studies can identify a link between intermittent fasting and changes in gut-brain signaling, but they cannot prove that fasting directly causes those changes.

Also, individual responses to intermittent fasting vary based on each person's gut microbiome, underlying health conditions, daily nutrient intake and genetics.

TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ

It can also be challenging for some people to adhere to fasting protocols, as strict eating windows may not be safe or feasible for everyone.

While fasting is not a cure for chronic pain, researchers said the findings could help guide future treatments that target the gut-brain connection.

They added that further trials will be necessary to establish specific dietary protocols tailored to individual patient needs.

Livvy Dunne selflessly passes along three keys to 'Baywatch' slow motion run to NFL quarterback's girlfriend

Livvy Dunne selflessly passes along three keys to 'Baywatch' slow motion run to NFL quarterback's girlfriend

What good is acquiring knowledge if you can't share it with others? Now, those in the real world who are working with others for a living have run into the person who tries to learn everything for job security purposes.

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you're good at what you do, then it doesn’t hurt to share that knowledge. That's where Livvy Dunne comes in.

She acquired some valuable knowledge about the iconic Baywatch slow motion run and, instead of hoarding it all to herself, she selflessly passed along the three keys to pulling it off to Olivia Ponton.

JOE BURROW SPOTTED HANGING OUT WITH A SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT MODEL AFTER PRACTICE

The employee/girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wisely turned what she learned from Dunne into content. That's the way of the world these days, it is what it is.

Hey, credit to her too. Ponton could have played around like they were making something special together, never posted the video, and kept the three keys to herself. There's no reason to do that.

Just because you have the recipe doesn't mean you can pull it off like the Pamela Andersons of the world. And out of respect for Pamela and the rest of the Baywatch trailblazers, I'm not about to compare this to what they did.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

It's a completely different era. It's not fair. One is hard fouls on the way to the hoop and the other is a flopping disgrace. But we can find greatness in both.

Let's get back to those keys and the knowledge transfer. After buttering up the former gymnast and MLB WAG with a "Baywatch baddie" compliment, Ponton handed the spotlight over to Dunne.

The keys are as follows:

I don't know about you, but I learned something. My instincts are correct. It's better to pass along the knowledge than to keep it all for yourself.

The sense of job security is a figment of the imagination of the know-it-all who doesn’t share what they've learned. This is a better way.

DOJ sues to stop Ohio court blocking courthouse arrests

DOJ sues to stop Ohio court blocking courthouse arrests

The Justice Department sued an Ohio court Tuesday over a new rule blocking federal immigration arrests at or near the courthouse, accusing local officials of unlawfully interfering with federal enforcement and forcing ICE agents to make arrests in potentially riskier settings.

At issue is a Franklin County Municipal Court rule, which bars civil arrests at the courthouse unless officers have a judicial warrant. The DOJ argues the rule conflicts with federal immigration law, which allows ICE agents in certain circumstances to make arrests with administrative warrants or no warrant at all.

"This type of rule obstructs federal law enforcement and facilitates evasion of federal law by dangerous criminal aliens, despite Congress’s direction that federal agents detain and remove them," said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. "Throughout the country, and including in this courthouse specifically, federal agents have routinely and safely conducted arrests. The Department of Justice is committed to protecting that important federal prerogative."

JUDGE BLOCKS PHILADELPHIA LAW TARGETING MASKED FEDERAL OFFICERS

Those arrests can be less predictable and more dangerous because they may take place at homes, workplaces or other public locations, according to the complaint.

Two Columbus ICE officers have been hospitalized after encountering violence during at-large arrests in the past three months, DOJ says. The complaint does not identify the officers or provide details about the incidents.

ICE has also had to conduct longer surveillance and field operations to find people away from the courthouse. The DOJ says an arrest at a jail or courthouse may require two officers, while an arrest in the field typically requires four to six.

The department says courthouses offer a safer, more controlled setting because people entering are generally screened for weapons and other contraband. ICE agents have also coordinated with courthouse security and generally waited until hearings ended before making arrests, according to the complaint.

ICE made at least 12 arrests at Franklin County Municipal Court in recent years before the rule was adopted, DOJ says.

Rule 2.10 prohibits civil arrests of people at the courthouse for a proceeding or other lawful court business, but makes an exception for arrests carried out with a warrant issued by a judge.

The court began discussing changes in January amid pressure to prevent ICE from making civil arrests there, according to the complaint. The proposed rule was published for public comment in March and later adopted.

The rule says "the administration of justice … cannot be impeded by the other branches of the government" and that it should not be interpreted to violate the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause or federal immigration law.

DOJ argues it does both.

Federal immigration law allows ICE agents to make certain arrests using administrative warrants issued by federal immigration officials rather than judges. Agents can also make warrantless arrests in some circumstances, including when they have reason to believe someone is in the country illegally and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained.

DOJ says the Ohio court cannot impose a judicial-warrant requirement where federal law does not require one.

The lawsuit argues the rule violates the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause by improperly regulating the federal government and conflicting with federal immigration law.

DOJ is asking a federal judge to declare Rule 2.10 unlawful and block the court from enforcing it against federal officers.

The lawsuit names Franklin County Municipal Court, Administrative and Presiding Judge Jessica D’Varga and court security director Enoch White as defendants in their official capacities.

'Not 1984': Flock cameras watching millions of Americans spark bipartisan revolt

'Not 1984': Flock cameras watching millions of Americans spark bipartisan revolt

There's a new frontier in the national privacy debate that's uniting people on the right and left, and it's a tool that millions of Americans encounter every day without even realizing it.

Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies have been brought under scrutiny by lawmakers in Washington as privacy hawks warn that the growing sophistication of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is testing the bounds of what ALPR devices can legally learn about drivers on the road.

One company in particular, Flock Safety, has been taking hits in the media and political sphere as news of Flock cameras' misuse — and occasional success — dominates headlines.

"There's cameras everywhere, people know that, but if law enforcement has the ability to monitor the comings and goings of citizens, I think that's wrong. I mean, we're not the CCP, we're not 1984 and an Orwellian society, and Americans have rights," Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.

LICENSE PLATE CAMERAS ARE TRACKING DRIVERS EVERYWHERE

He pointed to a recent incident in his district where a now-former Sarasota police officer was fired and arrested after being accused of misusing Flock camera technology, using it to spy on one particular license plate over 300 times.

FLOCK SAFETY CAMERAS NEED CONSTITUTIONAL GUARDRAILS BEFORE FURTHER DEPLOYMENT, TENNESSEE MAYOR ARGUES

"I don't think you're gonna be able to stop these cameras from being out there, but at the very least, there should be some type of legal parameters put in place to protect people's Fourth Amendment rights," he said.

ALPRs automatically capture and analyze vehicle and location data on public roads without drivers' consent. Supporters have argued that it's a critical tool for public safety that only collects minimal information, while opponents labeled it an alarming expansion of the mass surveillance state.

LICENSE PLATE CAMERAS AT HOME DEPOT AND LOWE’S SPARK PRIVACY FEARS

Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital, "These cameras are well beyond an automated license plate reader today. AI has made them so capable that they are now capable of facial recognition, of seeing what you’re doing inside your car. So it’s well beyond the license plate reader…that’s the problem. Technology has moved these beyond just looking at the back of a car."

On the other side of the aisle, a spokesperson for progressive Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., pointed Fox News Digital to her recent comments responding to news that Flock was updating its oversight standards. Ramirez wrote on X, "Private tech companies have amassed record-breaking profits off our pain and the use of technology for mass surveillance is a threat to our democracy, civil liberties, and privacy. Congress must stop the ever-expanding surveillance state."

‘DARTH VADER’ USES DARK SIDE TO MOCK CONTROVERSIAL SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS: 'THE EMPEROR IS A FAN OF FLOCK'

The debate even exploded onto the campaign trail ahead of November's midterm elections, where ALPRs join AI data centers as Big Tech's big boogeymen.

"I oppose Flock’s mass surveillance technology, and I’ll stand with anyone in Congress, regardless of party, who wants to put limits on unchecked mass surveillance on the American people," Will Lawrence, a Democrat running for the House in Michigan's 7th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital.

DSA CANDIDATE PUSHES FEDERAL AI DATA CENTER MORATORIUM WITH MICHIGAN EARLY VOTING UNDERWAY

Abdul El-Sayed, the insurgent progressive Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, accused his opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., of supporting Flock cameras in a campaign video released on X.

"There's been this mass proliferation of black cameras, any and everywhere, little cameras, watching your every move to collect information about you without you even noticing," he said in the video. "If you believe, like me, that you shouldn't just be surveilled because you're driving along the street, then I hope I can earn your support."

A spokesperson for Rogers told Fox News Digital that he "vehemently opposes unchecked use of Flock cameras to track law-abiding citizens. Security and liberty aren’t enemies. Good government protects both."

Back on Capitol Hill, the furor over these cameras has prompted a flurry of legislative pushback.

Self is among the House lawmakers pushing bills aimed at the issue, along with Reps. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

Steube told Fox News Digital that he's also "looking at filing something at the national level," and is sending a letter to Sarasota, Florida, officials threatening to withhold federal funding absent a promise of "reasonable restrictions" to "prevent the abuses that have happened right here in our backyard."

Privacy and misuse concerns have sparked efforts across the country to cut ties with Flock specifically, from Lansing, Michigan, to Bernadillo County, New Mexico.

Flock is just one company of several that operate ALPRs, some of which have been used for years.

But the technology does have its benefits and has been used to stop crime.

Flock Safety founder and CEO Garrett Langley told Fox News' "Saturday in America" that his technology has helped police find missing children at least twice, including after a recent carjacking in Atlanta. Flock has also said it does not use facial recognition and recently introduced new safety controls in response to the public backlash.

"When I think about legislation that calls for an outright ban, that's like banning vehicles. That would never have made sense. Instead, what we did is we introduced laws against drunk driving. We introduced laws around seatbelts, laws around airbags," Langley said. "What happens if law enforcement abuses this powerful technology today? It is too often that in Flock and in other technologies, there's no regulation, there's no accountability. And we think that's wrong."

Supporters of ALPRs like Flock cameras have held them up as a key crime-fighting tool, while agreeing that guardrails to prevent abuse would be helpful.

"I think it's definitely a net positive. And I think that's a very easy call... the use cases and the documented cases of these things being effective tools, I think, vastly outnumber the handful of cases of abuse and misuse that we've seen," Rafael Mangual, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital. "The fact that some police officers will misuse their firearms, for example, to hurt people, is not a reason to take away all police officers' firearms."

Mangual said he disagreed with accusations of Fourth Amendment violations as well: "I think as of right now, these cameras can't be used to do the sorts of things that courts have recognized require a warrant."

Jim Pasco, executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, told Fox News Digital, "There’s an awful lot of new and still developing technology out there that's very helpful to law enforcement and to enhancing public safety. That said, all of these systems need to be regulated to ensure that they aren't abused."

He also cautioned against making policy decisions in the heat of an election cycle.

"The most dangerous time of governance to have a crisis in is an even-numbered year, because elections are always held in even-numbered years. And I would say this problem and this year are no exception," Pasco said. "There needs to be a very careful analysis of the benefits and the risks inherent in abuse and any action that's taken should, if anything, enhance the potential for these systems being used for good and minimize the chances of abuse."

"Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water here."

EXCLUSIVE: LA ICE director reveals officers followed home, harassed as police fail to help in sanctuary city

EXCLUSIVE: LA ICE director reveals officers followed home, harassed as police fail to help in sanctuary city

EXCLUSIVE: From agents being followed home and harassed to dealing with riots and local police refusing to assist, ICE Los Angeles Field Office Director Thomas Giles gave Fox News Digital an inside look at the daily risks of conducting operations in one of America’s largest sanctuary cities.

Fox News Digital accompanied Giles and a team of ICE officers on an immigration enforcement operation in the Los Angeles area early Thursday morning. In an interview from inside his vehicle during the operation, Giles emphasized that while "it's not going to shut us down and stop us," California’s sanctuary policies put both his agents and the community at risk.

"The sanctuary policies definitely impact our operations in terms of it'd be a lot easier for us to have that transfer of custody in a secure environment," he explained. "So, what it does for us is it sends our officers out into the community, putting our officers at risk and other community members at risk to go out and try to apprehend this individual."

Fox News Digital witnessed ICE arrest six illegal immigrants Thursday morning, including one who had been convicted of assault with a baseball bat and another who had been convicted of illegally re-entering the U.S. multiple times.

DEADLY HOSPITAL STABBING PUTS NEWSOM UNDER PRESSURE OVER ICE DETAINER FIGHT

Giles explained that because of ongoing litigation in California, ICE officers are not allowed to knock on a target’s door or even set foot on the area surrounding the property. This complicates enforcement by forcing officers to apprehend targets in public spaces or through potentially dangerous vehicle stops.

He said that "before we had all these sanctuary policies … we were picking up hundreds of people a day at the local jails and bringing them in and processing them." Now, local law enforcement "can't even work with us," which he said "is definitely a big, huge public safety threat."

As an example, Giles pointed to one of the operation’s targets, 20-year-old Honduran national Julio Alberto Aroca-Rodriguez, whom local police had arrested the week before for assault with a deadly weapon using a baseball bat. Aroca-Rodriguez entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location and has been subject to a removal order since 2019. Local authorities declined to honor ICE’s request to hold Aroca-Rodriguez and released him.

When ICE officers encountered Aroca-Rodriguez on Thursday, they also detained four other "collaterals" identified as illegal immigrants. After making the arrests, the officers quickly relocated because a crowd of anti-ICE agitators had begun to form.

Giles described the treatment of ICE law enforcement officers by many California politicians, the media and members of the public as "degrading to the work that the men and women of ICE do."

EXCLUSIVE: 5-TIME ILLEGAL ENTRANT ADMITS ‘MISTAKE’ THAT FINALLY GOT HIM BUSTED BY ICE

"My officers have been followed home and been harassed, harassed on social media, harassed just personally, and they get in your face and everything else," he said.

He also criticized anti-ICE agitators who wear masks while simultaneously "complaining about us wearing masks but they look the same as we do as well."

Despite this, Giles praised his officers as Americans who "love this country" and "want to support the Constitution."

"We're out doing our job; we are sworn law enforcement officers. We're out trying to keep the community safe just like other law enforcement officers," he said. "I just think there's a lot of rhetoric out there that a lot of people don't know exactly what we do and we're trying to portray that out to the public."

Fox News Digital witnessed ICE process Aroca-Rodriguez and was told he would remain in custody pending removal to Honduras. Five other illegal immigrants were also processed for removal proceedings during the operation.
