The nightmarish home stand continued on Tuesday night in the Nats 10th consecutive defeat. Mark & Al are dumbfounded after the 10-6 loss where Colorado hit five homers in a span of eight hitters in the late innings. Will a major change happen soon in the clubhouse?(16:00) Cole Henry was the main culprit for the Rockies avalanche in the top of the 7th as he allowed four runs without a recording a single out. Jackson Rutledge also struggled in that frame as he ceded back to back homers.(20:05) Michael Soroka lasted six innings, but did issue three "hit by pitch". Soroka gave up a pair of homers and has given up ten in just nine starts this season.(24:00) The offense totaled six runs, but most of that came later after already trailing 10-1. Brady House had a pair of hits and his first career RBI while Nathaniel Lowe & Luis Garcia Jr. each homered in the final frames.(28:10) When is the last time the home crowd booed the Nationals?(31:00) Josh Whetzel, Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, provides his weekly update from AAA.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview the MLB Friday slate on RJ Bell's Dream Preview. They open by discussing the Orioles' recent 9-2 stretch despite being 11 games under .500, and Minnesota's past long winning streak. Griffin reflects on Moneyball's low ranking on his movie list and praises Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs. In the Phillies vs. Pirates matchup, Joe Ross starts for Philly as an opener while Bailey Falter, performing solidly for Pittsburgh, starts for the Pirates. Both agree under 9 runs is the best angle due to limited offensive firepower from Pittsburgh and Ross's limited innings. Next, Texas faces Washington with Patrick Corbin vs. Michael Soroka. Corbin has stabilized while Soroka battles recurring injuries. Griffin likes Nationals ML and over 9.5, noting Nationals' young talent and the weather boosting offense. Munaf supports first 5 over and Nationals' team total over, citing Texas' poor 9-20 road record. In Red Sox vs. Yankees, Walker Buehler faces Will Warren. Boston's bats have struggled, while Warren allowed 7 ER in his last outing. Both predict an over 9 outcome, expecting Rafael Devers to homer and citing both teams' bullpen issues. The Diamondbacks visit Cincinnati with Eduardo Rodriguez vs. Nick Lodolo. Rodriguez has allowed 13 ER over his last 3 starts with control issues. Lodolo's 4-4 record and 3.10 ERA give Griffin confidence in the Reds. Munaf favors Reds ML and sees plenty of scoring. Astros travel to Cleveland with Colton Gordon vs. Logan Allen. Allen's lefty matchup gives the right-handed Astros lineup an edge, but Munaf remains cautious due to Houston's late travel. Griffin would take Astros at plus money, considering Cleveland's competitiveness. Kansas City faces the White Sox with Seth Lugo vs. Davis Martin. Lugo has dominated the White Sox historically, allowing just 3 ER over 29.1 IP. Munaf strongly supports Royals RL, citing Lugo's recent success against Chicago, while Griffin leans over 8. The Padres visit Milwaukee with Randy Vasquez vs. Chad Patrick. Vasquez's control issues and HR susceptibility concern both hosts. Griffin makes Brewers ML -142 his best bet, citing Milwaukee's base-stealing prowess and San Diego's fatigue after extra-inning games. Munaf adds Brewers first 5 team total over. Dodgers face Cardinals with Justin Robleski vs. Sonny Gray. Injuries to Betts and Freeman concern both. Griffin trusts Gray as a home underdog, noting St. Louis' bullpen depth. Munaf supports Over 8.5, expecting offensive production from both sides. The Mets visit Colorado with Kodai Senga vs. Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela enters 1-10 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Munaf makes Mets team total Over 6.5 his best bet, expecting New York's offense to dominate at Coors Field. Griffin acknowledges Rockies' rare 3-game win streak but avoids backing them. Seattle travels to Anaheim with Bryce Miller facing Kyle Hendricks. Miller's bone spur has altered his delivery, making Griffin favor the Angels ML, citing their hot bats and rest advantage. Munaf agrees, backing the Angels and runs scored. In San Francisco, Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach faces Giants' Hayden Birdsong. Schwellenbach has 22 Ks in his last two starts, but Griffin trusts Birdsong and Giants' bullpen, backing the under 7.5 and Giants ML. Munaf echoes this, emphasizing both pitchers' strong form. They close with Griffin taking Brewers ML as his best bet and Munaf locking in Mets team total Over 6.5. They promote pregame.com with a STRIKE20 discount code for picks packages.

The Nats continued to hammer Orioles pitching in their 10-4 win on Sunday afternoon. Mark (From Camden Yards) & Al discuss the Nationals first series sweep since mid July last season.  Washington also dominated the Battle of the Beltways this year by winning five of the six meetings.(03:30) The offense combined for five homers on Sunday and the team now has 50 home runs in 48 games this season.  CJ Abrams went deep in both the 1st & 2nd innings to lift his OPS this season to an impressive .942.(08:00) The other homers came from Dylan Crews, Luis Garcia Jr., and Josh Bell.  The team's increase in power this season leads to the hosts evaluating the hitting coach Darnell Coles, who is in the 4th season with the organization.(14:05) Michael Soroka earned the win after 5.2 IP and allowing three runs in the process. It is Soroka's first recorded victory since July 21st, 2023 while pitching for the Braves.(19:10) Brad Lord only lasted an inning in relief of Soroka despite inheriting a big lead. Al points out that not only is Lord a reliever instead of a starter right now, he isn't being utilized that often for long relief.(26:15) Washington has a well deserved day off on Monday before opening a three game series in Navy Yard vs. the Braves on Tuesday.  Thursday is a pitching matchup worth circling as Chris Sale takes on fellow lefty MacKenzie Gore.

Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore Orioles MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Nationals at Orioles 1:35PM ET—Michael Soroka will start for Washington. Soroka, in three starts on the season delivers an ERA of 6.43 with WHIP of 1.29. The right hander fans 25.4% with 6.8% walks. Ground balls come in at 50% with 1.29 home runs per nine innings.

Grounders are 33.8% with 0.78 home runs per nine innings.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner break down MLB betting for Tuesday. The guys also give out best bets. he MLB Tuesday Preview & Best Bets podcast hosted by Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner delivers a game-by-game analysis of the 13 MLB matchups scheduled for Tuesday. The show opens with some light NBA draft lottery banter, but the bulk of the discussion is tightly focused on baseball betting strategies, player performance, and team trends, all based on currently available betting lines. In the Brewers versus Guardians game, both hosts express doubts over Quinn Priester's reliability as the Brewers have lost four straight games he's started, providing him minimal run support. Logan Allen's control issues are acknowledged, but the Guardians are still preferred as a slight home favorite. The Twins against the Orioles matchup sees both hosts backing the Twins, riding their eight-game win streak and taking advantage of Kade Povich's continued struggles, especially at home. Munaf suggests taking the Twins team total over due to their potent offense. For the White Sox and Reds, Griffin leans toward the Reds' offense prevailing, noting the White Sox's dreadful 3-17 road record. Abbott's limited innings aren't seen as problematic due to the White Sox's overall weaknesses. In the Cardinals and Phillies clash, Sonny Gray's consistency and St. Louis' bullpen strength make them an appealing underdog, with both hosts preferring an under if the total reaches eight. The Rays versus Blue Jays game highlights the collapse of Tampa Bay's pitching, with Shane Boz's recent blowups making the Blue Jays the favored side, especially with Jose Berrios pitching steadily at home. In the Pirates versus Mets game, both see little hope for the Pirates despite a recent managerial change, with Munaf favoring the Mets run line and team total over, given Kodai Senga's strong stats. For Nationals versus Braves, the consensus is Braves team total over, citing Soroka's vulnerability and the Braves' offensive firepower, though bullpen concerns persist. The Marlins against Cubs matchup leans strongly toward the Cubs, with their superior offense and Ben Brown's solid form giving them a significant edge. The Rockies versus Rangers game reflects both hosts' disdain for the Rockies' 2-17 road record, suggesting Rangers -1.5 and under 8.5 as the play, with the Arlington ballpark playing pitcher-friendly. Royals versus Astros is a more cautious game, with both acknowledging Michael Wacha's solid form and Framber Valdez's unpredictability when a favorite, but Munaf leans Astros at -140. The Angels versus Padres game is flagged as a potential upset, with Dylan Cease expected to regress after his long no-hit bid. Both hosts side with the Angels due to the risky price on the Padres. In the Yankees versus Mariners showdown, Griffin emphasizes Brian Wu's 11-1 home record and favors Mariners as a home underdog while also suggesting the under, citing the ballpark's suppression of runs. Finally, the Diamondbacks versus Giants game is strongly supported by both as a Giants money line play, highlighting Robbie Ray's perfect 8-0 start record for the Giants. Brentt Fott's last strong outing against the Dodgers is considered unsustainable in the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park, especially given the Giants' ability to win division games at home. Best bets for the day are Griffin's pick of Guardians ML at -120 and Munaf's pick of Giants ML at -105. The overall tone reflects skepticism toward big favorites, leaning instead on undervalued home underdogs and carefully selected unders in specific matchups, especially where bullpen and venue factors suppress offense.

Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Nationals at Braves 7:15PM ET—Michael Soroka will start for Washington. Soroka in his two starts allowed eight earned runs with 11 strikeouts in ten innings. His season was delayed by a bicep strain. Last year he had 25 appearances with an ERA of 4.74 with WHIP of 1.38. The right hander fans 25.6% with 7% walks.

The Nats led 3-0 entering the top of the 6th, but in less than a half hour they yielded eight Guardian runs on their way to an 8-6 loss. Mark & Al evaluate Michael Soroka, who initially seemed to have an excellent outing coming off the IL, but his scoreless effort turned into being tagged with four Cleveland runs. Soroka took the mound in the 6th after needing only 67 pitches prior to that frame. (9:25) Jorge Lopez & Andrew Chafin each struggled mightily in the nightmare inning, including a run scoring wild pitch. The low key positive came from Cole Henry, who tossed three scoreless innings to keep the game in striking distance. (13:30) The offense scored six runs off of 13 hits, but Davey Martinez was critical of their 4 for 19 effort with RISP in his postgame press conference. (23:00) What is swirling in GM Mike Rizzo's head regarding the state of the bullpen? (31:30) Washington hosts St. Louis & Erick Fedde on Friday night. Fedde has made seven starts this season and is sporting a 4.78 ERA.

Cleveland Guardians vs. Washington Nationals MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Guardians at Nationals 12PM ET—Logan Allen will start for Cleveland. Allen has six starts on the season carrying an ERA of 4.02 with WHIP of 1.53. The left hander fans 15.8% with 10.8% walks. Ground balls served at 42.4% with 0.86 home runs per nine innings.

In this episode of the Talk Nats Podcast, we start with a detailed look at Michael Soroka's rehab progress following his biceps injury in late March. After two encouraging starts in Double-A Harrisburg, Soroka appears physically and mentally ready to rejoin the Nationals rotation. With improved command of his changeup and increased pitch count, the right-hander could soon bring valuable experience and upside to a developing young staff. Manager Davey Martinez hasn't confirmed a return date yet, but momentum is building for Soroka's imminent reactivation. In our second segment, we break down a gritty homestand that showed the Nationals' character despite a lopsided loss to the Mets to close it out. The team went 4–3 overall, with comeback wins fueled by key contributions from young stars like CJ Abrams, James Wood, and Riley Adams. Their performance — and a sharp turnaround in one-run games — suggests a team starting to forge an identity rooted in resilience and chemistry. With strong clubhouse energy and budding talent, the Nationals may not be contenders yet, but they're learning how to win together. Ready to snack smarter?

The Nats lost their first road game of the season 5-2 in Toronto.  Michael Soroka struggled in his franchise debut and ended on a sour note as he departed early due to an injury.  The prognosis afterwards was not serious and has been classified as a right biceps cramp.(10:50) If the news on Soroka ends up being worse than initially expected, who takes his spot in the rotation?  There is no easy and immediate answer to this one.(16:40) The only source of offense for Washington came off back to back homers in the top of the 6th. So far the team has hit eight home runs in just eight games.

Washington Nationals vs. Toronto Blue Jays MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Nationals at Blue Jays 7PM ET—Michael Soroka will start for Washington. Soroka had nine starts in 2024 delivering an ERA of 4.74 with WHIP of 1.38. The right-hander fanned 24.2% with 12.7% walks. Grounders were 40.3% with 1.47 home runs per nine innings. Bowden Francis to start for Toronto. Francis appeared in 27 games season dealt an ERA of 3.30 with WHIP of 0.93. The righty struck out 22.5% with 5.4% walks. Grounders were 34.3% with 1.48 home runs per nine innings.

Secondo il modello termostatico di Wlezien e Soroka, raccontato da Lorenzo Ruffino, l'opinione pubblica funziona come un regolatore automatico: ogni spinta eccessiva da parte del governo genera una reazione in senso opposto. Se un esecutivo accelera troppo su welfare, ambiente o immigrazione, l'elettorato tende a raffreddare il sistema votando l'opposizione. Se invece la politica è troppo fredda o prudente, cerca di scaldarla. Il ciclo si autoregola: il potere agisce, l'elettorato percepisce, valuta, corregge. Funziona, ma solo in un contesto dove il termostato è accessibile e l'impianto reagisce davvero. Negli Stati Uniti, dove si vota spesso e l'alternanza è fisiologica, la teoria regge. In Italia, no. Il termostato è scollegato. Si gira la manopola, ma la temperatura non cambia. Il voto diventa sfogo, non correzione. La democrazia resta formalmente accesa, ma la stanza è fuori controllo. E intanto i governi si succedono senza mai pagare davvero il conto delle loro scelte. Ruffino osserva che a reagire sono solo i moderati. Ma sono pochi e isolati. Il resto dell'elettorato è inchiodato: polarizzato, disilluso o semplicemente stanco. La stanza brucia, ma ci si litiga sulle finestre. Intanto chi è ai margini sopporta in silenzio. E chi dovrebbe ascoltare, preferisce misurare l'umore con sondaggi usa e getta. Il punto non è se il termostato funziona. È: chi può ancora usarlo? Chi ha voce, strumenti, attenzione? Chi è fuori dalla stanza, più che regolare il clima, si abitua. O si spegne. E la politica, intanto, continua a occuparsi della percezione. Il rischio non è solo il caldo o il freddo. È che nessuno si alzi più per cambiare l'aria. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Al & Mark convene during the early January snow storm to discuss the roster moves that were made in late December. The Nationals recently acquired 1B Nathaniel Lowe from Texas in exchange for Robert Garcia and also signed Josh Bell. Will there be more moves to address offense for the 2025 season? Bell was previously with Washington and was part of the Juan Soto trade to San Diego in 2022. (14:50) The Nats inked a pair of pitchers in Trevor Williams & Mike Soroka. Williams returns for his 3rd season with the team and Soroka is a veteran who has battled many injuries over his career. What does it mean for DJ Herz's spot in the starting rotation? (22:00) Where does Cade Cavalli fit into this season's plans? (23:30) An update on the bullpen as there are still roster spots to be filled. (31:00) Corbin Burnes recently signed a $210M six-year deal with Arizona and many expected the total to be higher. Burnes pitched last season in Baltimore and was considered the top available free agent starting pitcher. What does it say about the starting pitching market compared to previous years?

The Washington Nationals have made notable offseason moves, most recently trading for first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers, while sending left-handed reliever Robert Garcia to Texas. This trade addresses the Nationals' need for a reliable first baseman, as Lowe boasts impressive stats, including a .272 batting average and a stellar performance that earned him a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove in recent years. Additionally, the team signed pitcher Michael Soroka to a one-year, $9 million deal, hoping he can regain his rookie form despite not being the sought-after hitter or closer they need. Looking ahead to the season, Manager Davey Martinez is shaping a pitching rotation that includes Soroka, MacKenzie Gore, and Jake Irvin, while also considering the potential addition of another veteran starter.

Transcript of Interview with Doug Seserman: Manya Brachear Pashman:   The Negev, the vast desert region that covers 60% of Israel's territory is home to only 10% of its population. It's also home to Ben-Gurion University and many of the communities attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7.  Doug Seserman is the CEO of Americans for Ben-Gurion University. In that role, he has worked to highlight the innovations and technology know-how that Israel can offer America and the world when it comes to sustainability, water conservation, energy solutions and ecology. But since October 7 BGU's efforts have shifted from sustaining lives across Israel's south to rebuilding them. Doug Seserman is with us now to discuss those efforts. Doug, welcome to People of the Pod. Doug Seserman:  Thank you so much for inviting me. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So compared to other Israeli universities, the BGU community was disproportionately impacted by the October 7 massacre, correct? Can you give our listeners some perspective on the scope of loss? Doug Seserman:   Sure. So as the crow flies our main campus in Beer-Sheva is only about 22 miles from Gaza. We had a number of students at the Nova music festival site, and a number of our employees and their families live in the western Negev or Gaza Envelope area. So as a university today, we have 111 dead. That includes those murdered on October 7, as well as fallen soldiers. We've had close to 6,600 of our students, faculty, employees, administration, called up to milu'im, reserve duty, and not all of them have come back. Some 2000 are still fighting. So that was a direct and disproportional impact. Now everybody in Israel has experienced this war. Every family knows somebody, but for us, it's definitely disproportional. Literally every colleague's kids are fighting. Every younger woman who's a colleague in her 30s, their husbands are fighting. People are on their WhatsApp just trying to hear what's going to happen next. It's a very surreal situation. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Four hostages were rescued by the IDF earlier this month.  Were there any faculty, staff, or students from Ben-Gurion taken hostage?  Doug Seserman:   Noa Argamani, you may recall her name. She was at the music festival and forcibly separated from her boyfriend Avinatan Or, who's a BGU alum. But Noa is a 26-year-old information systems student of ours. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Yes, thank you. Of course, Noa was one of those hostages recently rescued. We are so thankful that Noa is now home. 124 hostages are still being held in Gaza. We are praying and advocating for the safe return home of all hostages, and will highlight those that are part of the BGU family: Sasha (Alexander) Trufanov, Avinatan Or, Alex Dancyg, and Segev Kalfon And Doug, how many at BGU were called up for reserve duty? Doug Seserman:   That's about a third of the student body. Classes, obviously, they were supposed to start on October 15, and they didn't resume until December 31. The president of the University, Professor Daniel Chamovitz, did his best to have no student be left behind. But at some point, we had to resume classes. And so today, when you go to the campus, it's, I don't want to say it's thriving, but it's functioning. There's a normalcy about life in Israel and also on campus. But there's nothing normal about this new normal.  Many of our reservists are back and they're in the classroom, but even going from being in Gaza, in conflict, to then studying for a test, you know, writing papers and things. People are traumatized, and the university has done an amazing job providing psychological support and counseling for the students and the faculty and the families who've been directly impacted. But still, it's a very difficult situation. Manya Brachear Pashman:   In addition to those called up for reserve duty immediately after October 7, was there a sizable volunteer effort? Or was the community just too shell-shocked? Doug Seserman:   Thank you for asking. Today when you go to campus, it's happening and it's alive and doing as well as it can. On October 7, that immediately pivoted from a university that was closing – had to close because of the war – to almost a hub for activity to support not only the faculty and students, but also the community – a logistics center, if you will. We were housing, in our dorms, evacuated families and also medical professionals from the center of the country that needed help. Soroka, which is the main hospital of the Negev and also the teaching hospital for our two medical schools. Very close relationship with Soroka Medical Center. Our medical students immediately became ER triage doctors. They learn by doing.  If you talk with some of them today, they'll tell you in this strange way that October 7 may have really accelerated their knowledge in terms of their career, etc. And then we just started doing what we could. Students mobilized, as Israelis do, to create care packages and provide clothing and anything that was necessary for these evacuated families. We had, I want to say close to 1500 members of our community that were evacuated. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You know, I imagine it's even more than medical students getting this, you know, on the ground experience. I happened to be in journalism school in New York when 9/11 happened. I remember places in New York City all of a sudden transforming into emergency centers, like what you're describing, and I think a lot of my classmates got a crash course, right, in journalism from covering that. Doug Seserman:   Absolutely. Even our social work and psychology students became kind of caseworkers. I mean, everybody was doing what they could and, in a way, we should feel really good about it. It's hard to say there are silver linings from October 7. But the resilience that the country has demonstrated in the university, in particular, is incredible and quite inspiring.  One thing about Ben-Gurion University that's unique is, yes, we are an educational and research institution and one of the leading universities in Israel, and we're quite proud of those accomplishments. But we have a particular and very unique mandate to develop the Negev region. And it's almost in what we call the Ben Gurion DNA, to activate the social justice aspect of being a Jew, honestly. But it's particularly manifest at the University and we're proud of it. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, you know, let's talk a little bit more about that innovative spirit that I hear a lot about, that characterizes Israel and, obviously, BGU. And I mentioned earlier how BGU has introduced, you know, all of these technologies, innovative solutions for environmental concerns.  I think David Ben Gurion said “making the desert bloom” – that was his goal and what the university aims for – but has the aftermath of October 7 highlighted other faculty, other fields? You talked about psychology and social work. Can you talk a little bit about how this kind of innovative spirit has been applied and has really shown itself since October 7? Doug Seserman:   Yeah, absolutely. I'm happy to do that.  And it's important to note also that Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, it was important on October 6. When you visit the Beer-Sheva campus, it's, in a way, it's startup nation on steroids. You have Ben-Gurion University and Soroka hospital, the advanced technology park that has 3000 employees and 70 multinational companies, right across the high speed train station to get you to Tel Aviv in just over an hour.  And you have the IDF moving south and their IT and computing base literally adjacent to the university. It's an amazing place. I actually feel like a lot of people visit Israel, and they don't really go south. And the truth is, you haven't seen the future of Israel until you spend time in the Negev. And you don't really understand the Negev until you've spent time at the University.  But in terms of areas that the University excels at, that are important in the aftermath. I mean, it's everything. But some of the things I would highlight is our strength in engineering, computer sciences, IT, cybersecurity. The cyber capital of Israel is actually Beer-Sheva. This IDF base that's adjacent to us, I call them 22nd century defense systems, remote sensing satellite defense technology. Hatzerim Air Force base is in the Negev, that's where all members of the Israeli Air Force get their wings, but they actually get their degree, their educational degree, from Ben-Gurion University. So when we think about the future, listen, it takes a village. And you can never do wrong by doing right. So I'd encourage your listeners to just get involved in something in Israel that's consistent with their values.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   I know the South has supplied much of Israel's kind of homegrown food, vegetable crops, barley, wheat, dairy, but obviously, I mean, many of the Palestinian and Thai workers who tended those fields, they're not returning anytime soon, neither are the residents of those kibbutzim. Has BGU played a role in filling that gap? Doug Seserman:   The answer is yes, and doing our best and not enough. And very proud of all the volunteers and that you're seeing, especially also from the diaspora coming to Israel to help pick fruit and etc. We had faculty that basically stop because they weren't teaching and they had time, they just started going into the fields and helping the farmers, both with their hands and their heart.  At the end of the day, there's a very close relationship and literally hundreds of our students and faculty and administration has been involved in volunteer efforts. At the end of our board of governors meeting last week, we had a whole afternoon dedicated for volunteers who came from around the world to volunteer as well. Manya Brachear Pashman:   I want to go back to campus real quick and talk a little bit more about the students. I know that BGSU has a really robust diversity and inclusion effort that covers Druze, other Arabs, women, disabilities, Ethiopian immigrants, ultra-Orthodox Jews – it's a very diverse campus. And I'm curious how this diverse student population views the scenes from some American university campuses. I mean, has there been vigorous debate on BGU's campus about how Israel is fighting this war? And does it look any different? Doug Seserman:   Now that's a big question. I can say this: we're extremely proud of the diversity on campus and sometimes what we call a shared society. We have Sarab Abu-Rabia-Queder, who's the Vice President of Diversity and Equity and Inclusion in Israel. That DEI term has become controversial, in the United States, but in Israel, you know, in our campus, it's a thriving concept.  We have approximately 20,000 students. Most of them are Israeli. We have about 1000 international students that study in English, mostly from China and India, but also from North America. And then we have about 2000 Arab-Israelis. So of the Arab-Israeli, a number of them are Bedouin. We're by far the largest university for Bedouin students in Israel. So we have robust discussions underneath that framework of the diversity, VP of diversity, to try to bring students together. Sometimes there have been, before October 7, protests, peaceful protests, with Arab students protesting and Jewish students also there. And we've never had issues.  You know, there's a way to have civil discourse, and free speech and academic freedom is critical. I mean, it's a hallmark to a just society. So you know, you have to be able to have peaceful protests. Now going back to what's happening on American campuses. You know, I'm personally embarrassed. I wrote an op-ed recently in The Times of Israel about what do you do when your alma mater no longer reflects your values?  I'm a proud Wildcat from Northwestern University. And we had a terrible situation on campus. And then our president Michael Schill, who's a smart guy, and also a Jew, negotiated with the encampment leaders and created a precedent almost like, it's not negotiating with terrorists, but it's compromising and rewarding, enabling bad behavior and creating a precedent that the way to make change is to be lawless and create hate speech.  So something's happened in the US that on college campuses, that's absolutely out of control. But at the same time, freedom of speech, and especially in academic institutions, must be protected, but it has to be safe. We teach chemistry on university campuses all across the country, perhaps we should be teaching morality. And maybe that should be a required course.  Now, I don't even know what that looks like. But I think people have lost a sense for the difference between proper behavior and improper behavior. And they sometimes use free speech to do hateful and wrongful things. And that's, that's not appropriate. Manya Brachear Pashman:   In other words, you're suggesting social chemistry lessons? How do we get along? How do relationships work? Doug Seserman:   I love that. I think what's happened is we all are talking in echo chambers. We've no longer figured out how to understand the narrative of the other, and how to find some sort of central place to move forward where people can agree to disagree, but you can move forward in some kind of democratic and civil way. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So I don't want to lose sight of the fact that you head Americans for BGU, right, the arm of the university that works to garner American support? Has October 7 presented some unexpected challenges in that realm? Doug Seserman:   You know the answer, to that is yes. And also, unfortunately, opportunities at the same time. There's been an October, I call it October 8 awakening, some people are calling it October 8 Jews – people in this country and in the diaspora are waking up, that something is happening out there with antisemitism, and the relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. And as an American diaspora Jew, you have sort of like three options.  You can do nothing, and no miracles are going to come from that. Or you can kind of wait and see and no miracles are gonna come from that. Or you can kind of double down your efforts and get involved with institutions that matter, can make a difference. And that's what we're encouraging. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, Doug, thank you so much for joining us and for giving us a snapshot of what people are trying to do to rebuild Israel's south and help it recover after October 7. Thank you so much. Doug Seserman:   Thank you so much for having me.

Il y a huit mois, une attaque meurtrière est lancée contre Israël, dont le cerveau s'appelle Yahya Sinouar, chef du Hamas à Gaza, considéré comme l'ennemi public numéro un par les Israéliens. Traqué et introuvable, les renseignements israéliens le connaissent pourtant intimement, car il a passé 22 ans derrière les barreaux en Israël. Durant sa détention, il a été opéré à la suite d'une tumeur au cerveau découverte par le dentiste de sa prison. « Le Hamas est un mouvement de résistance islamique », explique Yuval Bitton dans un mélange d'hébreu et d'arabe. Il y a 20 ans, dans une autre vie, ce dentiste israélien reçoit dans son cabinet en prison un détenu. Matricule : 73 33 33 5. Nom : Sinouar. Prénom : Yahya. « J'ai soigné Sinouar à plusieurs reprises à l'époque, raconte-t-il. Mais en 2004, je lui ai sauvé la vie. Il s'était présenté au dispensaire de la prison, parce qu'il se sentait mal. J'ai compris qu'il était en train de faire un AVC. On l'a envoyé à l'hôpital Soroka de Beer Sheva, où il a été opéré d'urgence. Il avait une tumeur qui lui appuyait sur le cerveau. Il s'en est sorti. Et par la suite, il m'a remercié de lui avoir sauvé la vie. »Quatre ans plus tard, en 2008, le dentiste troque sa blouse blanche contre un uniforme d'officier. Il est désormais agent du renseignement. Avec du recul, regrette-t-il d'avoir sauvé la vie de Yahya Sinouar ? Sa réponse est « non », tout simplement. « D'abord parce que je suis médecin. Et ensuite parce qu'en tant que juif, j'ai des valeurs. J'ai grandi avec. Je ne suis pas motivé par la haine de mon ennemi », explique-t-il.En prison, Yuval Bitton côtoie Yahya Sinouar, mais aussi tous les futurs leaders du Hamas. « J'ai passé des centaines d'heures à discuter avec Sinouar, avec Salah Arouri, Taoufik Abu Naïm, toute la direction du Hamas, énumère-t-il. Ce que je peux dire sur Sinouar ? C'est qu'il reflète très fidèlement le Hamas de Gaza qui est différent du Hamas de Cisjordanie. À Gaza, la branche du Hamas est très radicale. Pour ces gens, il n'y a ni compromis, ni dialogue, ni paix. Ils ne mènent pas une lutte nationale palestinienne. Ils mènent une guerre de religion. C'est le jihad. Point. »À lire aussi«Visage du mal», Yahya Sinouar, le redoutable chef du Hamas à Gaza, traqué par IsraëlEn 2011, ces responsables du Hamas sont libérés dans le cadre d'un échange de prisonniers. Yuval Bitton s'y oppose. Pour lui, c'est une très mauvaise décision. « Ce qui s'est passé le 7 octobre ? Ce n'est pas seulement que je m'en doutais. Mais je savais que ça allait arriver. Je l'ai entendu. Les gens du Hamas ne l'ont jamais caché », regrette-t-il.À la question : pourquoi le gouvernement israélien a-t-il accepté, en connaissance de cause, de financer le Hamas toutes ces années, Yuval Bitton répond en détaillant les raisons, avec dépit et lucidité. « Israël a commis une erreur stratégique, affirme-t-il. Premier point : nous n'avions pas compris qu'on ne pouvait pas acheter une organisation religieuse. Avec de l'argent, on ne fait qu'alimenter son fanatisme. Second point : on s'est dit que c'était bien d'avoir l'autorité palestinienne en Cisjordanie, et le Hamas à Gaza. Ils se détestent. Diviser pour mieux régner. Au lieu d'écraser le Hamas en 2007 lorsqu'il a pris le pouvoir à Gaza, on l'a laissé prospérer. On a mis en place une barrière, en pensant que ça allait suffire à les enfermer. C'était une erreur fatale, et encore une fois une incompréhension totale de la situation. »Le 7 octobre 2023, le Hamas perce la barrière de sécurité à 29 endroits et mène l'attaque la plus meurtrière de l'histoire d'Israël. Près de 1 200 morts, dont le neveu de Yuval Bitton. À lire aussiSinouar, l'homme qui a remis la Palestine au centre de l'attention pour certains

Michael Soroka fought through control issues and made it through five innings of work. Has Soroka done enough to extend his leash or is it time for White Sox General Manager, Chris Getz to pull the plug on Soroka? While Soroka struggled on the bump, Zach Eflin had no issues mowing through the Sox lineup. Outside of a Paul DeJong solo home run, the Sox went quietly in the night, 5-1 for the second straight night against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Michael Soroka and the Chicago White Sox were protecting a 2-run lead when in the 6th inning, everything changed. Soroka faced two batters in the 6th inning, allowing 2 HRs to Edouard Julien and Ryan Jeffers. The Twins extended their lead with an RBI 1B from Willi Castro & another solo HR from Julien.

Eran Soroka (@sorokman) of Sport5 in Israel (@sport5il) and the Osim NBA Podcast (@OsimNBA) joins the show to talk about Deni Avdija's breakout and what that means for the Wizards moving forward. Soroka has seen Avdija play from a young age so he's particularly well-suited to point out the areas that he's improved in. We discuss Avdija's growth, whether his defense has fallen off with his increased offensive role, which lineups best maximize his skills, his pairing with Kyle Kuzma, his coverage in Israel, and just how good he can actually get. We also talk about the team-building strategy of the Wizards' front office and how Avdija fits in with their long-term plans. Plus, which player is most likely to represent the Wizards in the All-Star Game next? Presented by betonline.ag! 0:00 - Intro 0:45 - Eran's initial reactions to Deni Avdija's recent development 2:35 - Was Kuzma really taking away Deni's shots? 5:06 - Will we see another performance like this from Deni again this season? 7:30 - Is Kuzma holding back Deni? 9:06 - “The problem wasn't always just Kuzma, it was Kuzma and Poole.” - Eran Soroka 11:34 - Ad reads 12:14 - Who is the next Wizard we'll see representing the team in the All-Star game? 15:00 - “When they have an All-Star it means that the team is in the right direction.” - Eran 17:25 - Wes vs. Keefe's impact on Deni's progression 18:54 - Cementing Deni's place on the team post-trade deadline 21:30 - Keefe's strategy for minimizing Poole's losses 24:15 - Matt talks Deni as a focal point for an offense 27:02 - “[Deni] doesn't have any consequences in the team's fate.” - Eran Soroka 26:50 - “To move from the third option to the first option is a big jump in any NBA team no matter what.” - Eran Soroka 28:13 - Will the Wizards stick with Keefe? “The next coach of the Wizards will have to be somebody who puts an emphasis on developing players.” - Eran Soroka 30:29 - What is Deni's long-term ceiling? 33:56 - “Most of the players you see aren't as strong or as quick [as Deni].” - Eran Soroka 36:04 - Eran speaks on Deni's offensive arsenal 38:16 - “Landing on 39 to 40 percent from three will definitely change his outlook, and the Wizard's outlook as well.” - Eran Soroka 39:04 - “When [Deni] shoots more, the efficiency goes up.” - Eran Soroka 39:38 - Deni's newfound confidence in taking shots 42:21 - “In the NBA, they're not punishing teams for losing.” - Eran Soroka

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 19, 2023 @ 3 pm ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Braves trade Kyle Wright to the Royals for Jackson Kowar. Wright will miss most of the 2024 season recovering from shoulder surgery and is a long-term play for the Royals. He will be under team control for 2025 and 26. Jackson Kowar hasn't developed.a.Your thoughts on the trade?2.The Marlins acquired Vidal Brujan and RHP Calvin Faucher from the Rays for IF Erick Lara and RHP Andrew Lindsey. Brujan is the name here and brings big speed. Will he get enough playing time in Miami to warrant any interest?a.Don't dismiss Lara. He's a 17-year-old kid who played well in the DSL, walking nearly as much as he struck out with a little bit of speed and power.b.Lindsey was the Marlins fifth-round pick last July and was the University of Tennessee Friday Night starter. His fastball is up to 98 with a plus slider. He did turn 24 last week and has only pitched in the Complex League. He should be watched very closely. 3.The Braves acquired Aaron Bummer from the White Sox for five players. The five players going back to the White Sox are RHP Mike Soroka, LHP Jared Shuster, MI Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake, and RHP Riley Gowens.a.On the surface, it looks like a lot for Bummer, but he's controllable for three years, and his stuff is better than you think. He's a sinkerballer with an xSLG of .386 despite an SLG of 452. His signature pitch is his sweeper, and it's one of the best in baseball. It's a good arm.b.In return, the White Sox get a lot of famous guys, but all of them have hair on them. Soroka has never stayed healthy. Jared Shuster was a top-ranked prospect until we got a look at his Statcast data. It's not great with a below-average fastball and two solid but unspectacular secondary pitches in his cutter and change-up.c.Braden Shewmake might be the most interesting of the bunch. He makes great contact with plus speed (27 SB in Triple-A) with a little bit of power. He can play both second and short and might get a shot at short if Colson Montgomery needs more grooming in the minor leagues.4.The Rockies acquired Cal Quantrill from the Guardians. He was one of your sleepers last year. I'm going out on a limb and thinking…not so much for 2024.5.A bunch of players were non-tendered over the weekend.a.Brandon Woodruff – shoulder issuesb.Nick Senzel – Is he any good?c.Danny Vogelbach – The Mets fans are surely pleased.Segment 2 – Fantasy questions of the AL Central1.Chicago White Soxa.I think it's safe to say that Oscar Colas did not set the world on fire in 2023. He hit .216 with a .257 OBP. He does hit the ball hard (114 max exit velo) but has never had great leverage in his swing. Of course, he's also never walked. i.He's going as the 120th outfielder off the board. Pick 537. Any interest?b.Who will you be suggesting for saves in Chicago this season? i.How many?c.Dylan Cease – Stat line for 2024. IP, wins, Ks, and ERA.i.Which team does he start the 2024 season, and which does he end the season with?d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)2.Cleveland Guardiansa.The Guardians recently acquired Ramon Laureano. He doesn't appear to be the high-contact player that like to roster, yet he is the starting right fielder. Over/Under 400 Abs.b.Stat line for Kyle Manzardo. AB, HR, BA, RBI.c.Bo Naylor is going as the 12th catcher off the board. He will finish the season as the _______ catcher in fantasy baseball.d.Triston McKenzie only started four games last season and is going 90th pitcher off the board…call it 60th starter. Did you think there is sneaky value there?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)3.Detroit Tigersa.True or False. Riley Greene will have a breakout season in 2024.b.Javier Baez is signed for another four years and $98 million. No question…just an observation.c.Kerry Carpenter is going as a number three outfielder (43). Early drafters must think there is more in the tank than 20 home runs. What say you?d.Who would you rather have, Reese Olson at pick 252 or Sawyer Gibson-Long at pick 321?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)4.Kansas City Royalsa.Vinnie P. should be back in 2024. He is going as the 17th first baseman off the board. Is there value there or is there too much risk?b.Will Eddie Olivares break my heart again? I'm thinking 15-15 with a .260 to .270 average? He did 12-11 last year in 385 Pas.c.Cole Ragans has flown up draft list. He is the 52nd pitcher, but the 37th starting pitcher. Is he worth being your number three starter?d.Over/Under 100 losses for the Royals.e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)5.Minnesota Twinsa.Annual Question – Over/Under 100 games for Byron Buxton. He only did that in 2017 when he played 140 games. b.With all the talk of Carlos Correa's injury concerns, he's played the last three seasons basically injury-free (148 games, 136 and 135). The real question might be his eroding production. He only hit 18 home runs last season with a 46% groundball rate. He still hits the ball hard, but his launch angel continues to flatten. Over/Under 20 home runs in 2024?c.I debated including Joe Ryan in my sleeper pitcher list, but he was one of the final cuts. I like the new splitter, the xERA of 3.53, and the much better xSLG than SLG on all his pitches. However, he is the 30th starter off the board (44th pitcher overall), and I thought that was too much. i.What are your thoughts?d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Majors)CloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement
