Phillies' Matt Strahm Claps Back at Fan on Social Media, 'Let Me do My Job'
Phillies' Matt Strahm Claps Back at Fan on Social Media, 'Let Me do My Job' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the Philadelphia Phillies' bullpen in a precarious state, as players underperform and Jose Alvarado is suspended, any hiccup is heightened. After the Phillies' latest game against the Miami Marlins, Matt Strahm had his issues on the mound, but got out of it and secured the win. Advertisement After the game, Strahm took to Twitter/X and commented on a post from Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy. In a response to Strahm's post, a fan of the team called for Strahm to "get his priorities straight" due to Strahm's recent struggles on the mound. Three minutes later, Strahm clapped back at the fan. "Like tom said." Strahm wrote, "🤫 and let me do my job. Feel free to clap your hands together the other times I pitch, too 🤙🏻" Strahm told the fan to be quiet and let him do his job. He also clapped back, saying that the fan should still clap his hands and cheer whenever Strahm pitches well. His response isn't the first time Strahm has called out fans on Twitter/X over their complaints about him or his teammates. He previously defended Orion Kerkering early in the season, and now Kerkering is the team's best reliever. Advertisement This time, he's defending himself. There's a good reason he has to defend himself, though. His recent outings have been a little shaky. In three of his last four outings, Strahm has allowed one earned run. Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm (25) throws a pitch during the eighth inning against the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Hartline-Imagn Images Fortunately for the Phillies, none of those outings cost the team the game, and they won each one. Against the Chicago Cubs, Strahm allowed one run on one hit in the eighth inning in a 3-2 victory. He also allowed a run on two hits against the Marlins earlier in the week, but the Phillies still won 5-2. But his most recent one nearly ended in disaster. He allowed one run on three hits. With the winning run at the plate, Strahm allowed a long fly ball, which was caught against the wall by Nick Castellanos. Advertisement It was the third outing in his last four where he almost blew it for the Phillies. But he held strong and helped secure a win for the team, and afterwards, he clapped back at a fan calling him out for his recent struggles. Strahm has a 3.86 ERA and won't make the All-Star team like he did a year ago. But he's still one of the best relievers on the team, and with the issues in the bullpen, his role going forward is going to be a massive one.

SuperCoach AFL 2025 round 15 trade guide: Best rookies, bargain buys
What rookie crisis? It might have taken 14 rounds, but all of a sudden there is a bounty of cheapies to pick from in SuperCoach. Tom McCarthy is already one of the most traded players despite playing just one game and West Coats having a bye this week. His bargain basement $99k price tag frees up money for other moves, but there a handful of cheapies already on the bubble who will provide an extra green dot in round 15. There are also some standout bargain options to finish your team without breaking the bank. Here are my top picks. ROOKIES Nick Madden could be competing with Kieren Briggs for a spot in the GWS team. GWS ruckman has the lowest Break Even of any player available this week after posting scores of 81 and 78 filling in as the Giants' No.1 ruck the past two rounds. Cheap rucks have proved to be excellent scorers and money makers in SuperCoach in the past, the issue here is Kieren Briggs might only be a week or two away. Young GWS ruckman Nicholas Madden. Picture:Data strip for SuperCoach AFL 2025 Another Giant who played seven games in 2023 and none last year, returning to the senior side in round 11 this season. He scored three points as the sub in the game and was dropped the next week, but returned on the weekend and was a key part of the centre bounce mix, picking up 18 disposals and six tackles. Hard to trust the role will hold, but if it does there should be some more good scores. Sam Butler had six tackles against the Crows. Played 19 games from 2022-2024 as a small forward, but has been playing as a midfielder in the VFL this year – racking up 42 disposals in one game. His numbers at AFL level haven't been that prolific – 19 and 14 touches in his two senior appearances – but his pressure (11 tackles) has been crucial. And the Hawks have won their past two. He's $25k cheaper than Martin in the forward line. Sam Butler is part of a winning Hawthorn formula. Picture:Is Jack Martin the new Tyson Stengle? Never thought we would consider one of the most injury-prone players in the AFL as a SuperCoach option, but that's the magic of Geelong's recruiting and conditioning departments. Martin hasn't played more than 11 games in a season since 2020, and only broke into the Cats' line-up two weeks ago. But the former forward has landed a plum role in defence, taking 10 marks on his way to 79 SuperCoach points. If you need a cheapie to play on field for a while, he could be the best bet. Just keep a trade up your sleeve in case the injury curse strikes again. AL'S ROOKIE RANKINGS 1. Sam Butler 2. Jack Martin 3. Harry Rowston 4. Nick Madden CUT-PRICE PREMIUMS Callum Mills could be one of the bargains of the season. We had to wait until after Sydney's bye to snap up the captain at a bargain price, but the timing couldn't be better – hopefully Mills will play every week from here until round 24. And his price is yet to move. It's hard to read too much into the Swans' big win over a barely competitive Richmond, but Mills moved well and had a great role across half-back and through the midfield. And we know what he can do (career-best average 116 in 2022. With a projected $23k price rise after a tough match-up against Port Adelaide you could afford to wait a week, but who has that spare cash lying around – and no need for an extra green dot in a tricky bye round. Callum Mills is on the bubble. Picture: Phil Hillyard Key forwards are usually avoided in SuperCoach, but Sam Darcy could be the exception. Dropped $35k after returning from a knee injury with a huge Break Even, and should be a little bit cheaper again next week. But that's no guarantee with a match-up this week against Richmond under the roof on Sunday. This is the sort of game the Dogs could run up the score, with Darcy looking ominous against the Saints as he warmed back into senior AFL action. He even had a hitout to advantage to help boost his SuperCoach numbers. Jason Horne-Francis made a spectacular return against Melbourne, JHF was supposed to be dirt cheap in the next week or two but that now seems like a pipedream after he also blitzed his return game last round. He was everywhere against the Demons early, and only inaccuracy in front of goal (1.3) and a shoulder stinger than kept him off the ground for most of the last quarter prevented a much bigger score. Watch injury news and teams this week, but Port expects him to line up against the Swans. Dion Prestia was in brilliant form before Richmond's bye. He's cheap and he's scoring a lot of points (132, 121 in his two games). He also has a very low Break Even, which does provide some cover if he breaks down again. But sadly with Prestia that feels like a matter of when, not if, and it would be a huge roll of the dice to gamble on him playing out the season – we don't want to be bringing in stepping stones at this stage of the season. Still, stranger things have happened. Dion Prestia is a very tempting price. Picture: Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images George Hewett is flying under the radar. Looking for a point of difference in the midfield? Hewett is owned by just 7 per cent of teams despite scoring the sixth-most SuperCoach points in the midfield in 2025. After scoring 94 in round 1 he has only missed the ton once in the next 11 games, with six of those above 120. He's bye-free, available for a very reasonable price and an injury to Sam Walsh opened the door for Hewett to increase his centre bounce numbers. This week he will be a prime mover against North Melbourne. The last time these teams met, in round 6 this year, he scored 171 SuperCoach points. AL'S TOP TARGETS 1. Callum Mills 2. Sam Darcy 3.

New development wave begins at Cork's Jacob's Island
The €750m development of Jacob's Island into a neighbourhood-scale Cork city suburban destination picked up pace this week as work got underway to build 149 apartments. The latest phase in the ambitious multi-phase Mahon peninsula project follows on from the official opening last month of the Crawford Centre, an apartment block that delivered 69 social homes, a creche and three ground-floor retail units. Virtual image of what Jacob's Island could look like when completed. The homes, built by OBR Construction on behalf of McCarthy Developments and approved housing body Respond, are already home to up to 200 tenants. Respond is also partnering on the 149-unit cost-rental scheme, which is expected to be completed in 27-31 months. It will bring the total number of homes on Jacob's Island up to about 650. However, plans for an additional 489 homes with another creche and 4,000sq m of office space were shot down in January when An Bord Pleanála went against its own inspector's recommendation and refused to give the go ahead, citing traffic concerns and concerns about dwelling mix. Speaking to the Irish Examiner, McCarthy Developments managing director Tom McCarthy said they have brought a judicial review against the board's decision. The masterplan for the Mahon peninsula area, driven by McCarthy Developments for more than two decades, aims to deliver 1,270 homes in the long term, housing 5,000 people. To date, c 440 homes have been built and all are occupied. The masterplan also proposes 20,000sq m of office space, as well as 595sq m of retail space (three retail units have just been completed); a 165-bed hotel, and a landmark 25-storey residential tower. 149 cost rental apartments are now under construction by OBR Construction Group and McCarthy Developments at Jacobs Island, Mahon. Picture Larry Cummins Permission was granted in 2023 for the hotel and 10,000sq m of office space, with a capital value of €100m. Mr McCarthy said they are awaiting greater certainty on the future of the 6,000-seater event centre, planned for the centre of Cork City, before starting work on the hotel. 'Everyone is waiting for the event centre. That will be the catalyst for the hotel to be built,' Mr McCarthy said. Permission for the landmark 25-storey tower with 220 units across two stepped blocks was granted in 2018 and has three years to run. Mr McCarthy said the introduction of government-backed schemes such as Croí Cónaithe and cost-rental will make the tower proposal more viable. The Croí Cónaithe (Cities) scheme - a fund to support the building of apartments - aims to bridge the viability gap between the build costs and the market sale price; cost-rental aims to make properties available for rent at about 25% below the local market rent. Both schemes are part of ongoing Government efforts to boost the supply of affordable housing at a time of severe housing shortages and growing numbers of homeless. Mr McCarthy said the market was crying out for more cost-rental schemes. Just one has been delivered to date in Cork City, at Lancaster Quay, where O'Callaghan Properties developed apartments on behalf of Clúid Housing. More cost-rental apartments are planned at Horgan's Quay, in a collaboration between developers BAM/Clarendon and the Land Development Agency, who is forward-funding the project. The LDA is also involved in a cost rental scheme in the Marina Quarter, where Glenveagh Properties are due to deliver 337 units in 2027. Mr McCarthy said Jacob's Island 'can be part of a solution to deliver more than 700 additional apartments' as it is set on 50 acres. The developer said Jacob's Island 'has the potential to be Cork's ultimate suburb'. 'It's one of the few Cork sites completely on the waterfront, with magnificent views. 'We have waterfront walkways, an 18-acre public park, easy access to major retail parks at Mahon Point, several significant employers in the area, super public transport, access to greenways, and brilliant connectivity,' Mr McCarthy said. The location is next to the N40, by the Jack Lynch Tunnel and close to the Dunkettle Interchange. Mr McCarthy said the scale and ambition for Jacob's Island 'should be realised through more efficient planning', 'so that new high-quality homes in this waterfront setting can provide Cork with a strong pipeline of talent to fuel industry, housing for cost-rental and social schemes, as well as bars, restaurants, a new hotel and several other amenities and services'.

Wisconsin withholds aid from Milwaukee Public Schools; deadline missed
The Brief Wisconsin is withholding new aid to Milwaukee Public Schools. The money is being withheld because the school district has not submitted its audited financial report to the state, as required by law. Officials said, "Because of that, we will continue to withhold the $16.6 million from the prior year and begin withholding new aid for this year." MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin is withholding new aid to Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) after missing yet another deadline to turn in its financial reports to the state. What we know MPS' 2024 audited financial report had until Friday, May 30 to turn in those financial reports with millions of dollars on the line. But that deadline passed and was not met. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android The district was originally supposed to turn in that report in December, but again, that deadline was missed. What they're saying In a statement, DPI Deputy State Superintendent Tom McCarthy issued the following: "Withholding funding is a last resort and comes after countless hours spent supporting MPS. We've seen real progress in recent months under the leadership of Dr. Brenda Cassellius, and we recognize and appreciate the hard work that has gone into those efforts. Meeting key deadlines is critical to ensure the DPI can accurately and efficiently calculate general aid estimates for school districts across Wisconsin. "MPS continues to work tirelessly to complete its required tasks. At this point, there are still some required priority actions which were needed by the May 16 and May 30 deadlines. Because of that, we will continue to withhold the $16.6 million from the prior year and begin withholding new aid for this year. More information will be provided in a formal notice to the district, which includes exact amounts and steps to recover the funds. We expect that to come later this week."
