Klawchat 8/28/25.

Starting at 2 pm ET. Over at Endless Mode, I wrote about educators using off-the-shelf board games in their classrooms.

Keith Law: I heard a funny thing, somebody said to me … Klawchat.

RH: Hi Keith, thank you for chatting, what should the Nationals do this offseason under their new admin?
Keith Law: The first step is hiring the right person (or persons). I’m worried that ownership wants to be too involved, which would mean hiring some sycophant or otherwise compliant GM/POBO rather than bringing in a strong candidate with, I’d hope, some player development experience. There’s a lot of talent in the system now after the last two drafts and the trade deadline, but I’d say overall they need better results from the development side than they’ve had to date.

Aaron C.: With the caveat that ALL Hall of Fame debates are kinda annoying these days, who’s HoF candidacy debate is gonna be more annoying: Yadier Molina or Salvador Pérez?
Keith Law: Oh Molina’s for sure. Unrelated, but I would really like to see him get a shot to manage somewhere – and it doesn’t have to be St. Louis.

Guest: Cubs personnel allowed white nationalist Charlie Kirk on to the field at Wrigley. Busch and Shaw took pics with him with big thumbs up. And yet no coverage from the Chicago media or others. Fear of Ricketts family? Coming White Nationalist Bobblehead Day at Wrigley?
Keith Law: I don’t have any background on that one but 1) I would not have allowed him close to the field and 2) I would also imagine that they feared a backlash if he complained publicly, like they all do, about cancel culture or whatever if they denied him a pass.

Steven: Any thoughts on Jeremiah Jackson with the O’s?
Keith Law: Not a guy. Used to be a prospect, never developed any semblance of a plan at the plate.

The Tone: Whats your projection on AJ Ewing’s hit tool? Is it good enough to make him a potential impact guy or is he more of a speed and defense guy like Morabito in that system?
Keith Law: Big fan. He can hit. Future regular.

Chris: Hi Keith,
A lot of Red Sox fans, as well as some in the media, have soured on Kristian Campbell since the Red Sox sent him back to AAA. Has your opinion on him changed as well?
Keith Law: No. Recency bias strikes again.

Joe: Is it too soon to lower expectations for Jackson Holliday?
Keith Law: Jesus. He’s 21 and in his second year in the majors. Witt Jr was 22 in his rookie year and was only worth 0.9 WAR. Now he’s a top 5 player in baseball. Why on earth would you be talking about “lower expectations” for Holliday?

Ryan: Is Rob Manfred really recruiting Bud to carry water for a salary cap concession? Was Mr. Burns not available? Won’t anyone please consider helping the poor team owners.  Please tell me that no one will buy this hogwash.
Keith Law: I don’t think players are buying it, but the media will. They have never failed to fall for owner propaganda.

Alek: Yohandy Morales has adjusted reasonably well to aaa the last 2 months. Do you think he can be a solid bat for this washington core that needs more pop?
Keith Law: That is false.

Aaron C.: Is a late 2026 A’s rotation of Arnold, Morales, Jump and Perkins (a) realistic and (b) enough to get me and the 50 A’s fans left excited?
Keith Law: Realistic, yes, although Jump’s delivery is terrifying and he’s already blown out once. But if they all stay healthy it’s a solid to above-average group.

addoeh: How sustainable is this version of Cade Horton?
Keith Law: I don’t think it is sustainable – I think he’s a starter, but more like a league-average one. He’s had some very good fortune on the four-seamer that I don’t think is going to last. The secondary stuff is legit, with three 55s or better, but I don’t think he can throw the four-seamer half the time and continue to get away with it.

Michael: Hindsight and all, but would the Cubs have been better off keeping Bellinger, Paredes and Smith?
Keith Law: Given the goal of contending in 2025, trading for Tucker was the right move, giving Bellinger away probably was not.

Kevin W.: How sad are you as an American at the moment?
Keith Law: Embarrassed and disappointed would be better words.

Hoss (Austin): Should Red Sox stick Tolle or Harrison into the pennant race as either starters or relievers, or would team and player be better served to continue their development in AAA?
Keith Law: Not sure what the plan is for Tolle’s innings, since it’s his first full year and he’s throwing harder than ever right now. I’m a fan of breaking in young pitchers in relief, like the Pirates seem to be doing with Chandler (credit to them, so few teams do this any more).

Patrick (WI): Thanks, as always, for ALL.THE.CONTENT.
Keith Law: You’re welcome. Thanks to all of you for reading.

Patrick (WI): Now, on to the question….what should I be looking at for my favorite team’s MiLB development over the last month of the season? Who they move up? Who they don’t? More?
Keith Law: Yes, who they move up is important, as that’s often about setting a guy up for where he’s starting next year – although sometimes it’s about getting a player into a pennant race to help a certain affiliate. Just bear in mind that the competition level these last few weeks can be very wonky as players are promoted or shut down.

Guest: Keith, who is playing where and who is getting traded?  Benge CF, Williams 2b, Baty 3b, Vientos DH, Mauricio? Reimer?
Keith Law: Reimer’s not in that group. Nice player, but below Elian Pena and Ewing among their position player prospects, at least. Benge keeps getting better.

Bill G.: In spite of the rules changes, offense is still down in MLB.  You and others have stated that the gap between AAA and MLB is larger than ever.  Is there really enough of a talent pool to support expansion?  Won’t expansion make offense degrade even more?  Thanks!
Keith Law: I think expansion might boost offense – there’s never enough pitching to go around anyway, so we’ll get a lot of ‘worse’ pitchers throwing more innings in the majors, right?

davealden53: In one of your recent chats, perhaps the most recent one, I asked about reducing pitchers’ injuries.  You replied with smaller staffs.  I agree that injuries would like be lessened if pitchers had to focus on longer outings.  But wouldn’t offense go up with pitchers not pushing to their physical limits?  Would another adjustment be required to keep baseball at +/- 9 runs per game?  If so, what changes?  Deadened baseballs?  Enlarged strike zone?  Taller mound?  (I lean toward strike zone changes.)
Keith Law: I’d be fine with offense going up, though. Offense is down overall, and it’s too HR-driven. That’s not the most marketable version of the sport. I don’t need MLB to mimic the Savannah Bananas here – just lean into the best things innate in the sport itself.

Matt V: Any intel on Jonathon Long of the Cubs? Heard good reviews on the bat speed. Something there, or just a good statistical performer at AAA?
Keith Law: The latter.

Bobby Digital: Given the current state of the Red Sox- playing well, seemingly set up for longer-term success- what is your assessment of the Bloom era? As a fan, I feel like he earned his ticket out but also took a ton of unjustified heat despite doing a lot work to put in place many of the pieces we’re enjoying today. Curious how someone more objective, and more expert, views this. Thanks!
Keith Law: Bloom laid a lot of that foundation and I think he got run out of town for a lot of things ownership did (or prevented). Cardinals are already on the upswing now for having him.

Richard: I came across a book series I thought you would enjoy and wanted to share. It turns out that Jo Walton wrote a series of alternative history mystery books about post-WW2 England and they are fun. The books are centered on a fictional England’s move toward fascism, and are a little darker than I would like, but still with Walton’s excellent writing. The first novel in the series is called “Farthing.”
Keith Law: Love Jo Walton. Just saw last night her new book is coming out in June 2026 – first new novel from her since the pandemic, I think.

Eric: I realize we still are in relatively small sample size territory, but what are your impressions of Colson Montgomery so far?
Keith Law: Since the ASB – which gets rid of the series at Denver – he has a .262 OBP and a 29% K rate. It’s going to be an ugly return to earth.

Ben: Your thoughts on this “arms race” to gerrymander the most seats before next November?
Keith Law: I’m glad the Democrats are at least fighting fire with fire for once after pretending since 2016 that they can reason with their opponents.

Mike: Hi Klaw – Thanks for continuing to do these. As a Mariners fan, I’ve never been more excited by what they have in the big leagues and on the rise in minors. This feels like the making of a mini dynasty if they play their cards right. My question is regarding their embarrassment of riches in the middle infield – counting Cole Young, who would you target to flip this offseason and who would you deem untouchable?
Keith Law: Emerson’s untouchable. I’ve said for months Young is the best guy to trade. Lacks the ceiling of Emerson, Arroyo, Celesten, but he’s MLB-ready.

John: What happened to Tanner Bibee this year? He seemed to be emerging as a really good starter after his first two years, but he’s really gone backwards in 2025.
Keith Law: I don’t have a great answer to that, sorry. Not sure why his changeup, which was at least a 70 when he debuted, is playing so much worse this year, or why he’s barely using it.

JR: Mclean seems like the real deal (SSS). What do you project for him long term? Also, do you think the Mets are being too aggressive with Tong, or do you think he’s ready?
Keith Law: McLean needs something for lefties but the fastball/breaking ball combo is legit. Fine with calling Tong up now, although I wish they weren’t throwing all their rookies right into the rotation like this. (I understand why they are – it’s just not ideal.)

SJ: Is there any hope for post-hype guys like Mead and Julien to put it together? Wasn’t looking for great defense, but they were supposed to hit.
Keith Law: Never bought Julien’s bat – he could walk, more than anything, but poor athlete & defender without the hit tool. Mead I give a little more of a chance. Smart pickup by the White Sox, even if he’s a longshot.

Aaron: I don’t believe in Hurston Waldrep despite the early success given SSS. Have you seen anything that changes your opinion of his long-term major league role?
Keith Law: Yes – they really changed his pitch mix, so he’s not just straight four-seamer and plus splitter out of the zone any more.

Mike: With Cal entrenched at catcher for the M’s, what would you do w/ Harry Ford? Try to flip him in the offseason, or try to move him to another position? I’m assuming they are resisting the urge to move him right now for trade value reasons.
Keith Law: Ford is not a good defensive catcher anyway. Don’t think they’re getting a ton of trade interest from clubs that think he can catch. Moving him around might increase his trade value if they show he can play somewhere else.

Mike: How good is Kevin McGonigle’s hit tool? A 12% K rate with more walks than strikeouts as a 21-year-old in Double-A is wild.
Keith Law: There’s a reason I had him as the #1 prospect in the minors last month.

Guru: How has Nick Kurtz improved since you saw him his Junior year at Wake Forest?
Keith Law: Don’t think he’s improved so much as he’s gotten fully healthy. He might be swinging more, though – I’d have to check the data on that one.

Tom C: Is there anything sadder in MLB than Mike Trout turning into a JAG?
Keith Law: He’s better than that. He’s just not a superstar any more.

Aaron: If you were Alex Anthopoulos, would you trade one of Murphy or Baldwin this winter and sign a full-time DH or keep both and alternate them in the catcher/DH spot?
Keith Law: I’d shop them both and see what comes out of it. They have some clear needs they could address with a trade of either guy.

Kevin: Do You think Mike Elias is going to survive this offseason?
Keith Law: I haven’t heard anything about his job status either way.

Ben: Your thoughts on South Park taking on this administration?
Keith Law: Haven’t seen any of it. I’m supportive of anyone, anywhere, pushing back.

JR: Do you think the As will still end up in Vegas? Are they really building a stadium or just moving dirt around?
Keith Law: Have they even moved any dirt around?

Jack W.: Even though it’s incredible growth to go from being demoted to a two week instructional camp to middle of the lineup hitter in the span of like 3 months, the power has to turn down at some point for Colson Montgomery, right?  If he settles into a .290 OBP / 475 slugger that can manage at shortstop every day, is that a positive player?
Keith Law: I’ll take the under on those numbers and I don’t think he’s a long-term shortstop

Ben: Are you on the Newsom train? As in, his holding a mirror to trump’s whiny and threatening posts?
Keith Law: He’s been very quick to throw trans rights out the window. I won’t support anyone who does that.

Ryan: Arizona has a really nice position player core (3 of the top 20 in fWAR!!) but it seems like everything they touch pitching-wise turns to ash – can’t really develop anyone and every signing they make goes pretty much worst-case scenario instantly. Are major front-office type changes needed there? Or what do they need to do?
Keith Law: Gallen took off when he got there. Ryne Nelson’s had a modest breakout year. Burnes blowing out his elbow is just part of the risk of signing free agents. They haven’t used a lot of prospect opportunities (high picks, trades) to bring in pitching, so I don’t see your point about them not developing guys … Pfaadt’s been a disappointment in the majors, but he was also a money-saver in the last round of the 2020 draft out of Bellarmine, so in that context he’s a wild success.

Justin: Cobb Hightower was a really buzzy name after the bridge league last fall, someone who seemed like a good bet to get into the top 100 if that momentum continued. He hasn’t hit at all this year, and San Diego shipped him off to Baltimore. Is the glow completely off Hightower now? Really disappointing season.
Keith Law: It’s been one year.

K: Esteban Mejia finishing an 18 year old season in Low A. Is he a guy?
Keith Law: He throws hard and it’s a good delivery. I believe he’s been shut down, though – hasn’t pitched in a week and a half.

Oz: If you were named GM of the Pirates and the owner said you could spend up to the tax threshold, but you have to make the playoffs next year to keep your job, who would you sign to turn that team into a winner?
Keith Law: I’d go sign some power bats. If money is really just no object, sign Tucker, sign Schwarber. Get another 60+ homers into that lineup.

Mike: Should the M’s have converted Hancock to the bullpen a while ago?
Keith Law: Yes.

Nick: Seems like the Mets have a lot of arms having great years in the minors.  Got to love the work the scouting department is doing in conjunction with their pitching lab.  Would love to get your opinion on these guys – Santucci, Wenninger, Watson, Thornton, RJ Gordon, Lambert, Girton?
Keith Law: That’s the sort of thing that has to wait for the org report this winter, sorry.

Jonathan: Do you think JJ Wetherholt makes his debut this year once he can’t lose rookie eligibility like Winn did?
Keith Law: That date has already passed. I’d love to see him called up, just to get him a little bit acclimated to MLB pitching, but I don’t know their plans.

PW: Trevor Rogers is definitely someone you consider extending if your the O’s, or would his career before the previous two months really hesitate you?
Keith Law: He looks a lot like the Rogers from the breakout year. I’m buying it, completely.

Michael: With the understanding that things could turn around, it does feel like the US as we knew it is gone forever. Does a national divorce actually make sense? How long should CA, NY, IL,MA, etc. support the red states financially and allow them to cause such havoc and harm? Is there a way to have a shared military and not much else?
Keith Law: I don’t see how that’s remotely feasible – even though, yes, blue states paying for red states to turn around and try to legislate blue state residents’ rights away is a broken system.

Kevin: Enrique Bradfield has had some hamstring problems, but an .800 OPS with excellent defense in AA this season. Should O’s fans be happy with Chandler Simpson, or expect more?
Keith Law: He’s better than that, a lot better.

Guest: Outside of the absurdity of media members influencing player contracts through end-of-year awards, do you see Roman Anthony finishing top two in the AL ROY race, which would seemingly make the contract look even better?
Keith Law: It’s Kurtz 1, clearly. I’d probably put Anthony 2 if I had that ballot. (I have NL ROY.)

Aaron: Cubs ownership has been openly political/bigoted for years. This year they are likely to get only 250-300 PAs and 150-200 IP from Latino players. Their top draft picks and 18 of 20 total this year are white. They’ve traded away many of their best Black and Latino prospects. And now they have Charlie Kirk on the field posing with players.
Keith Law: College baseball skews heavily white. If you draft college guys, you’re drafting mostly white guys. I have no kind words for the Ricketts family but this is a stretch.

AJ: George Valera was a popular name in the prospect world a few years ago then faded away after he didn’t perform. He’s now gotten really hot in AAA – small sample noise, or is he someone worth paying attention to again?
Keith Law: 25 games in his third year with time at the level.

TomS: Hi Keith. Thanks for the chats. Do you have any plans to write another book?
Keith Law: Nothing specific. The idea has to be there – it’s a lot of work and I don’t want to commit to that unless I feel compelled to write about it.

Ryan: On a non-baseball related note, I love Wingspan but have never tried Wyrmspan, nor do I know anyone who has. Have you? Is it worthwhile?
Keith Law: I reviewed it last spring. It’s excellent, but a bit more complex.

Nice: Jakob Marsee wasn’t heralded as a prospect, but he’s been incredible so far and the underlying data looks very promising. What are your impressions of him so far and what’s your long-term outlook on him?
Keith Law: Small sample.
Keith Law: I don’t think he’s an everyday guy.

Kevin: Went to San Diego for first time last week. Had Juniper and Ivy, which is thought was exceptional. The Yodel was divine.
Keith Law: Still my favorite restaurant in the country.

Justin crawford: What the heck do you make of a guy like Justin Crawford? Everyone says that the way he hits won’t translate to the mlb because of the underlying metrics, but he’s hitting .330 in AAA and above .300 in every league since being drafted. What are your thoughts?
Keith Law: I’m sorry, who is ‘everyone?’ The issue is not that he won’t hit, but that he won’t drive the ball or get to power.

Kyle: As a Canadian who used to travel to US frequently for pleasure but hasn’t for some time now, I’m not sure what the “proper” stance should be given everything going on. Is there an argument that US travel is still ‘acceptable’ as you’re supporting the local people wherever you go, or should it be off the table as a gesture to the bigger picture? Have you cut travel to any locales you don’t support politically?
Keith Law: That hasn’t really come up … like, I wouldn’t travel to Hungary right now, but if we take another international trip that’s not high on our list anyway, so claiming I’m boycotting it for political reasons would be misleading. Travel to the US is down right now and we deserve it.

James: Hey Keith why do you not post on X as much as you used to? Cooking, baseball, life events seemed much more commonplace on my timeline and it’s missed!!
Keith Law: Because it’s a cesspool of hate and misinformation. I have only posted links there since November. I’m active on Bluesky now.

Jim: Personally, I think that people are the greatest fun.  I had a mix of the two versions I loved, but the tape was in a stereo that was stolen.
Keith Law: I worried that quote might be too deep a cut!

Frank: At this point does Henry Davis need a change of scenery and a fresh start with another organization?
Keith Law: Hard to separate whatever his issue is from the team-wide hitting issues.

James: Has Jacob Wilson impressed you more as the year has gone on? Or still relatively down on him?
Keith Law: No, he was tapering off hard when he got hurt.

Alek: Are you conerned about this 2024 nats draft class like i am? King, dickerson, lomavita bazzell, all have been disappointing (dickersons young sure, but Bonemer has outperformed him and was taken right around him if i recall)
Keith Law: Concerned that several of those guys have seemed to go backwards, notably King and Bazzell, with what look like changes to their swings. Dickerson’s 19, has shown some hard contact skills, wouldn’t compare him 1:1 to Bonemer or any other single player because there’s so much development left ahead of them both. But King’s been bad in AA and I’ve seen it – he’s not the same guy.

Michael: Any thoughts on why Brujan ended up being a bust. I know you were high on him at one point.
Keith Law: I think some of it is just the contact didn’t hold up because he wasn’t able to hit it hard enough. He’s also never gotten an extended look, though. Atlanta should give him regular PT in September to see if there’s anything left there … he could always run and had bat-to-ball skills, and he’s at least flashed harder top-end contact this year.

Kevin W.: Still play guitar?
Keith Law: Almost every day.

Patrick (WI): Cuisine world tour question…if you could travel someplace you haven’t been to sample delicacies, top of your list?
Keith Law: West Africa.

addoeh: If you’re Carter Hawkins, why are you worried about the 2032 Cubs?  If you do really well between now and then, you’ll get promoted, probably at another club.  If you don’t do well, you’ll be let go.  Why focus on something you may not be around to see?
Keith Law: Why worry about 2032 when it’s not clear we’ll have a functioning country at that point?
Keith Law: I don’t understand any GM thinking about 7 years down the road. Even if you’re rebuilding you have to have a shorter time horizon than that.

Colin: Luis Arraez…why is everyone giving him so much guff when he is a 3 time batting champ?
Keith Law: Batting average champ.

James: Who do you think has the best chain delivery pizza? Pizza Hut, Dominoes, etc
Keith Law: No.

James: Do you think AL MVP is Raleigh or Judge?
Keith Law: Judge and it’s not close.

Ben: Regarding Michael’s question earlier about a union split – speaking as a Brit who’s lived through Brexit – you are stronger as a union than split.
Keith Law: Fair point.

Ryan: wrt Arizona, it’s not just Burnes – Montgomery, E-Rod, even going back to Bumgarner have all been awful since day 1. I guess what I’m getting at is, what do they need to do to ensure they’re not wasting this position player core they’ve built?
Keith Law: Montgomery was probably hurt the moment he started pitching. Bumgarner was a bad signing, period – he was already showing signs of decline before the deal. Burnes was the right call, though, and it just didn’t work out because all pitchers have that injury risk at this point. I wouldn’t let Burnes deter me from trying it again.
Keith Law: They have to go add a pitcher somewhere this winter, trade or signing.

Jack W.: If you’re the White Sox, do you look to trade one of Quero and Teel in the offseason?  Seems like a misuse of resources to have two relatively promising young catchers platooning this much when there are so many other holes on the roster
Keith Law: Yes, but I’m not sure who I’d rather trade. They’re both really good.

John Olerud: Just curious, do you think there’s any validity in the perspective that Harry Ford may have become a bit underrated as a prospect overall? Maybe it’s a leading question from an Ms fan like me, but all he seems to do is get better at the things that MLB teams seem to want players to get better at, especially a prospect with his his (and OBP) tools who seems to have done what he needs to do to be a capable MLB catcher.
Keith Law: I don’t, because of the lack of a position. You could argue that as a player who defies the typical categorization, he’s undervalued, but that also means (to me) that he’ll have a hard time fitting on a typical roster.
Keith Law: you need a team that’s unusually flexible in how they think about using/deploying players.

TomS: How has AI been incorporated into team front offices re: player evaluation’s
and do you think there will be AI scouting some day?
Keith Law: I have not heard of anyone using AI in that way and given what AI is doing to the planet I don’t want to see it used anywhere.
Keith Law: AI sucks. Maybe it will be useful some day. It’s just the latest tech bubble, breathlessly reported by a technologically illiterate media base. It’s also a great case study in negative externalities.

Ken: he has a BWAR of 65.9, should Willie Randolph have been a HOFER?
Keith Law: I thought he was borderline at the time, but given the lowering of the bar in recent years, I think he belongs. Speaking of which, I believe both Lou Whitaker and Dale Murphy, both of whom should be in the Hall, are eligible this year via one of the super-secret committees.

James: Condon or Dylan Crews?
Keith Law: Leaning Condon now. He has made some promising adjustments in AA, still whiffing on breaking stuff too often but bringing that down as he gets more reps.

Chuck: Do you f*ck with electronic music much? Saw Jamie xx recently and it’s got me into a run with some other DJs: Takuya Nakamura, Four Tet, etc.
Keith Law: It’s song by song. I’ve loved some Jamie xx stuff (“Loud Places”, “See Saw”) but the latest album left me cold.

Fernando: Do you have a best cheesesteak list ?
Keith Law: I don’t eat cow, sorry.
Keith Law: My wife would tell you Jim’s on South St is the best. She’s a native to the area.

Colin: Do you not think the 3 time batting average champ deserves to hit in the 2 spot? Everyone in San Diego seems to want him moved either to the 9 spot or out of the lineup
Keith Law: No, I do not think that that makes someone the best fit for the 2 spot. Arraez has a .316 OBP this year. Putting all of those outs in the 2 spot would be irresponsible.

James: Since when do you not eat cow?
Keith Law: Over 7 years now.

Ken: thoughts on Kjerstad – obviosuly his career isnt over by any stretch but is there any legit hope of him still being a 20+ hr .260 hitting .800 OPS type player?
Keith Law: I’m inclined to say no, unfortunately, but I would at least like to see him get a chance somewhere else. I didn’t love the pick at the time, but he did show more than enough in the minors to make me think he could be a regular with the sort of power you describe.

Michael: Respectfully to Ben, Brexit has not much to do with us. Our country’s size in population and geography means we will always have differences, but these are differences that are killing people and destroying families. And no matter what side of the aisle you are on, defunding medical research will kill someone you love or you whether you realize it or not.
Keith Law: The problem I see there is that we’re not really that split blue state/red state. We’ve disenfranchised huge swaths of the populations of red states, and splitting the country just leaves tens of millions of people who don’t support the hate and violence and anti-science preached by one party under a sort of gerrymander-powered minority rule.

David: Are we resigned to expansion (probably inevitable) and geographic realignment (please a thousand times no) or is this just a leverage ploy for new stadiums in certain MLB cities?
Keith Law: Both. There will be further extortion, and we will get to 32 teams before I retire.

Ben: Who’s the best choice for Dem nominee if you had to pick? Wes Moore, perhaps?
Keith Law: I don’t know enough about the possible candidates for that to say. I just don’t think throwing away the rights of one vulnerable minority is the way to mount a viable opposition to Trump running for a third term (do not dismiss this possibility) or to whatever stooge they nominate to replace him. You don’t beat the “nobody has rights but straight white men” party with a platform of “some people have rights too.” Everyone matters, every race, every gender, every orientation, every religion or non-religion, everybody. You can’t fight exclusion with selective exclusion. You fight it by being the party of equal rights for everyone, period.
Keith Law: That’s all for today – thanks so much for reading and for all of the questions. I’m hoping to get to a game in the next couple of days and will have a new scouting notebook from there. Go call your reps and senators and make your voices heard.
