Since returning from the minors, Bassitt has been a very reliable starter, so it’s time to take him more seriously as a Fantasy asset. On Thursday, he hurled a season high 7 2/3 IP, matching his season high with nine Ks. Homers have been an issue for Bassitt this year, but after looking pretty good last season, he’s really opening some eyes in 2019. A 16th round pick in 2011 by the White Sox, he may finally be ready stick as a big league starter.

To its credit, the game offers up a robust tutorial system that starts with the basics and keeps adding more layers to what you can do. If you’re struggling with timing or execution it’s a great place to go and clean up your technique — the option to view a demo of any move, including how to time your inputs, can be very helpful. In addition to the general tutorials, there’s also character-specific ones available to help you learn individual moves.

Blu-ray Review: The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

/ Movie Reviews

If you ever played with LEGOs as a kid it’s hard not to enjoy the incredibly inventive way all the structures have been brought to life. The way it switches between slick animation and silly, ultra-cheap stuff is fun, too. Beyond the cleverness of the world, there are many fun cameos and little winks and nods to other film series and Warner Brothers properties, though it does feel scaled back relative to the original.

The Wire Troll: Danny Duffy Deserves Attention

/ Baseball, The Wire Troll

Santana looked like he had pretty much hit rock bottom, appearing in just 15 games for the Braves last year while batting a mere .179. But he’s been a real revelation for the Rangers, coming through again on Thursday with two hits, including a double and a homer, two RBI and a walk. Santana has never shown extra-base sock like this, and he’s back to being a legitimate stolen base threat. The switch hitter was once an extremely exciting prospect in the Twins’ organization, but really went downhill after his huge rookie season. Now, Santana looks better than ever, so grab him while you can.

Video Game Review: The Caligula Effect: Overdose

/ Video Game Reviews

There are three core elements at work: exploration (read: dungeon crawling), social interaction and combat. Those dungeons take the form of a city as you run through hallways and streets, encountering “digiheads” (your fellow Mobius residents whose minds remain closed to the truth — more on that below) that you’ll battle with. The transition to these fights sees the world melt away, exposing an arena-like setting.
