D-backs back Kelly with shutout after cramping causes early exit
“I don’t think I could be any possibly more hydrated than I am going into the games,” Kelly said. “We’re going to hopefully get some other inputs. I don’t know what that looks like right now. Obviously, we’ve had a bunch of talks with our training staff, but what we’ve been doing right now may not be working.

Nationals option shortstop Abrams to Triple-A
“I assure you that he’ll be better, he will be,” Martinez said of Abrams. “We talked a long time yesterday and last time before we made any decisions. I know that he wants to be here. He expressed that very much. He said he’s going to miss his teammates. But, like I said, without getting into any details, this, to me, was the right thing to do.”

I’m a CJ Abrams guy but one day after he was out until 8 AM before a 1 PM local game, the Nats sent him down to the minors.

The red-billed quelea is the most common bird on Earth.
You may have never seen one in your community, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t building a legion. These birds are native to sub-Saharan Africa, where they’re considered “agricultural pests” because their flocks can destroy entire crops. Their population fluctuates between 1 to 10 billion queleas, which makes scientists conclude that they are the most abundant birds on Earth.
A raisin dropped in fresh champagne will keep bouncing up and down from the bottom to the top of the glass.
When you add raisins to a glass of champagne, they’ll sink to the bottom at first. However, after some time, the raisins will move up and down in the glass dancing. This motion is due to dissolved carbon dioxide in the liquid. The CO2 bubbles cling to the surface of the raisins. Thus, the raisin method is used to “revive” flat champagne, as well.
