Superstar pitcher Shohei Ohtani was likely saved from a stray foul ball to the head by the Los Angeles Dodgers' batboy while in the dugout. During a game against the Chicago White Sox, the Dodgers' no. 1 player was in the dugout wearing his batting helmet but seemingly avoided a shot to the face by a ball traveling at high speeds toward him.Without hesitating, the Dodgers' batboy caught the high-velocity ball by his shoulder with his bare hands as Ohtani lunged out of the way behind him. After looking around briefly, the batboy calmly placed the ball behind him and then seemed to soak in the moment as others from the organization applauded.A trainer on the bench appeared to be in shock with his mouth still agape as Ohtani walked back to thank the batboy.The Dodgers' official X account praised the equipment helper named Javi for having a well-above-average reaction speed."Javi's reaction speed saved Sho," the team wrote.The Dodgers would beat the White Sox 4-0, with Ohtani continuing another spectacular season hitting his 25th home run but taking just two at-bats. The Japanese slugger is in the top five in the MLB in all of the four major batting categories. Although he is also typically one of the best pitchers in the major leagues, he hasn't pitched a game in 2024 due to an ongoing elbow injury. — (@) The team would be best to avoid any more injuries as MVP-favorite Mookie Betts was recently injured with a bone fracture in his hand after being hit by a pitch.Betts is currently on a 12-year, $365 million contract that will pay a salary in the double-digit millions until he is 51 years old.Ohtani, on the other hand, will make just $2 million per year until the end of 2033 with one massive catch; his contract is actually worth $700 million. That means when his contract ends and he is possibly retired in 2034 at the age of 39, he will get a massive $68 million per year.The contract caused a lot of controversy over the fact that Ohtani will likely relocate at that time to a jurisdiction that doesn't have as nearly as high of an income tax as California does. Ohtani will be paid by the Dodgers until 2043 when he is 48 years old.The star was recently caught up in a gambling scandal when his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was allegedly busted by feds for stealing millions of dollars from Ohtani to pay off debts he incurred by wagering on sports with an illegal bookie. Mizuhara pled guilty in early June 2024.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

The Skinny on SCOTUS - 6-28-24 Edition: On Chevron, J6, and Unhappy Campers

Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos via Getty Images Since the New Deal era, the bulk of the functioning US government is the administrative state — think the acronym soup of agencies like the EPA, FCC, FTC, FDA, and so on. Even when Capitol Hill is not mired in deep dysfunction, the speed at which Congress and the courts operate no longer seems suitable for modern life. Both industry and ordinary people look to the administrative state, rather than legislators, for an immediate answer to their problems. And since 1984, the administrative state largely ran on one Supreme Court precedent: Chevron USA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). That decision has now been overturned. Admin law is not always interesting, but the simple fact is when it comes to the day-to-day, agencies... Continue reading…

Peanut Butter Sheet Cake is a moist sheet cake topped with a super creamy and sweet peanut butter icing. It is a peanut butter lover’s dream and perfect for potlucks and picnics. Peanut butter is practically the only food I can eat every single day and not get tired of. I often start my day with a banana and a spoon full of peanut butter. I absolutely love the stuff. Normally when it comes to desserts, I prefer peanut butter paired with chocolate. AKA the best thing ever. But sometimes a pure peanut butter dessert is just what I’m craving. With peanut butter in the cake batter and the icing, there’s plenty of peanut butter flavor in this peanut butter sheet cake. It’s like the peanut butter version of a Texas Sheet Cake. Super Moist Cake Batter Too often peanut butter cake is dry in texture. This one is super moist. Be sure to measure the flour correctly and use a shelf-stable creamy peanut butter such as Jif or Skippy. Light and Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting The frosting is what makes this dessert truly amazing. The addition of two tablespoons of instant vanilla pudding mixture creates a wonderful texture in the frosting and helps stabilize it. How To Serve It’s baked in a 10×15-inch pan and can easily be cut into 20 pieces so it is perfect for bringing to a summer potluck or picnic. If you want to dress it up a little, cut it into squares and then place a mini peanut butter cup on top of each one. Recipe Tips I use salted butter for this recipe. If you use unsalted, you may want to increase the amount of salt added to half a teaspoon. If you don’t have buttermilk you can make a substitute for buttermilk by adding half a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a liquid measuring cup. Then add milk to the half cup mark. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. How To Store Peanut Butter Sheet Cake This cake can be stored at room temperature for 4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Never miss a recipe.
