CR gas is a lachrymatory agent (LA), exerting its effects through activation of the TRPA1 channel. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Its effects are approximately 6 to 10 times more powerful than those of CS gas . CR causes intense skin irritation, in particular around moist areas; blepharospasm , causing temporary blindness; and coughing, gasping for breath ...
Leibrandt was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth round of the 1978 free agent draft. He made his debut in Major League Baseball on September 17, 1979, in a Cincinnati Reds uniform. A few weeks later, he made his first post-season appearance in the 1979 National League Championship Series , recording an out of the only batter he faced ...
The idea is simple. Once a game, a manager gets to put his best batter at the plate regardless of where the batting order stands. So imagine, as a pitcher facing the Dodgers, you get Shohei Ohtani ...
