The fund's portfolio will have a core focus on multifamily development in urban locations. Bernstein Cos., which among other activities is currently in the process of building the new global headquarters for Marriott International here, is partnering with OPZ Capital, an Opportunity Zone Fund manager, to launch OPZ Bernstein.
The Bernstein Companies and OPZ Capital join forces to create OPZ Bernstein, a real estate private equity fund focused exclusively on making Opportunity Zone Fund investments. The Opportunity Zone legislation is a bipartisan economic stimulus plan to promote sustainable growth and long-term capital investment in low income communities across the Nation.
One of downtown's last prominent, dormant historic buildings, the 23-story Mark Twain Tower, is slated to be redeveloped as a 202-unit apartment project following approval of incentives Wednesday.
The Bernstein Companies plan to create about 200 apartments with rents around $1,500 for one-bedroom units and $2,100 for two-bedroom apartments in the Mark Twain tower.
The Bernstein Companies and its joint venture partner Boston Properties marked a significant milestone today as they broke ground on the future Marriott International headquarters and Marriott Hotel in downtown Bethesda, Maryland.
Bernstein Cos. landed the biggest win in recent Montgomery County history last year when Marriott International chose Bernstein's Downtown Bethesda site for its new corporate headquarters. The selection process lasted a matter of months, but Bernstein had been assembling and planning the site, at 7750 Wisconsin Ave., for decades.
The Bernstein Companies announced today that, in partnership with Boston Properties, it has officially signed a lease with Marriott International for the development of its new corporate headquarters in downtown Bethesda. The site will also incorporate a flagship Marriott Hotel, developed and owned by The Bernstein Companies.
Hotel giant Marriott International Inc.'s decision to announce its pick for a new downtown Bethesda headquarters on Friday might have seemed ill-timed to seasoned real estate experts — and not just because it coincided with the presidential inauguration.
After months of anticipation, Marriott International announced today it has signed a letter of intent with Boston Properties and The Bernstein Cos to develop its new downtown Bethesda HQ.
In a hotly anticipated announcement, Marriott International Inc. on Friday said the company is moving its headquarters near Woodmont Triangle at the corner of Wisconsin and Norfolk avenues in downtown Bethesda.
Marriott International Inc. has tapped Boston Properties Inc. and The Bernstein Cos. to build its new home at a site just north of the Bethesda Metro station, capping one of the most highly watched corporate headquarters searches in Greater Washington.
Thirteen B-shaped aluminum sculptures have been placed throughout downtown Bethesda to brand the community as an arts and entertainment district.
The Bernstein Companies (TBC) announced today that it acquired The DoubleTree Bethesda for $50.1 million. TBC has also taken over as Manager of the 270 room upscale, full-service hotel and will continue to operate the hotel pursuant to a franchise agreement with DoubleTree, a subsidiary of Hilton Worldwide.
The Bernstein Companies announces the commencement of construction on 301 M Street, SW ("301 M"). This 187-unit luxury apartment building is an eleven storied development designed by Maurice Walters Architect, Inc.
With plates of sesame seared ahi tuna and sticks of liquid nitrogen Cracker Jack lollipops making the rounds around the room, the owners of the new AloftRaleigh hotel celebrated Thursday night with a big party on Hillsborough Street.
ECHO Realty, LP and its partner The Bernstein Companies are pleased to announce the commencement of construction of The Gateway at University Town Center, located at the intersection of East-West Highway (Maryland Route 410) and America Boulevard, in Hyattsville, Prince George's County, Maryland.
The developers of the planned Aloft hotel on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh have secured their construction loan, and work crews are already preparing the site for the seven-story building.
The Bernstein Companies is now planning to build the luxury Westin Hotel before a planned Class A office building on a two acre site between Wisconsin and Woodmont Avenues currently home to the Bethesda Court Hotel.
The owners of the Aloft hotel chain have confirmed plans to open a second Aloft hotel in the Triangle in 2015, this one at the Bell View property across from N.C. State University's iconic bell tower monument on Hillsborough Street.
The developers of two hotel projects in downtown Durham and another near downtown Raleigh are close to securing a commitment from the parent company of Aloft hotels to place the urban-influenced brand on their buildings.

Pathologizing Language
November 6, 2013 PostsCrisis Hotlines, Drawings, ThoughtsHollis Easter
Pathologized honey badger (c) Hollis Easter
Most of you have seen the video about the Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger, with narration by Randall, somewhere in your travels around the internet. I delight in using the honey badgers to teach about crisis hotlines; we're using the honey badger in our initial training to talk about inappropriate sexual callers, frequent callers, the virtues of directness, etc.
Today I'd like to talk about language. At one point, Randall says "Oh, the honey badgers are just crazy!". There could hardly be any moment more germane to start our discussion of pathologizing language.
What is pathologizing language?
I'm thrilled that you asked. It's judgmental language that examines someone's behavior and ascribes a pathological cause to it. In plainer English, pathologizing language assumes that others are the way they are because they're sick, and (by inference) makes the sickness seem like the most important thing about the person.
"The honey badgers are just crazy!" labels the honey badger with a mental illness and basically says that you don't need to know anything else about them–they're just crazy; what else is there to know? It's a label that puts the honey badger in a box and assumes that we, the outside observers, are capable of knowing exactly what is going on for the honey badger and why it behaves the way it does.
We might just as fairly say that honey badgers are highly adapted predators with little fear of pain. They're courageous and resourceful, fierce and dangerous. They're really good at doing what comes naturally for them: being total badass predators you would not want to meet in a dark alley.
But that's not the same as being crazy. When we call them crazy, we're using a stigmatizing term from our experience that makes their natural behavior (badass predator mode) seem like an illness or like there's something wrong with them. That's pathologizing language.
Examples of pathologizing language
People often use pathologizing language as part of an ad hominem attack designed to undermine a person's credibility or standing. By associating another person with something we find undesirable or sick, we subtly damage the other person. Often we include minimizers like "just" or "only" to help the knife sink even deeper.
"She's just a crazy person"
"Yeah, he's an alcoholic, what do you expect?"
"Oh, she's PMSing again, it's always like this around this time of the month"
"Stop acting so gay"
"Just another entitled homeschooler"
"You're just suicidal"
"Of course he has health problems… he's fat"
"I mean, she's an engineer. Why were you expecting empathy?"
"She's such a drama queen"
"We got another whiny schizophrenic on line 2"
In each case, we're applying a label and using it to minimize and disrespect how the other person is feeling. We also make it seem as though the person's behaviors and feelings are due to some problem that we've identified. We're assuming that we know why the person is doing what they do, and are therefore writing it off. That's the real problem with pathologizing language: it covers up disrespect and allows us to pigeonhole people and forget about them.
What if there really is a problem we need to discuss?
Non-pathologized honey badger (c) Hollis Easter
Sometimes we still have to talk about stuff, and sometimes people really do have mental illnesses, suffer from addictions, or behave in ways that society has decided are inappropriate. When that's the case, use non-pathologizing language wherever possible.
What's non-pathologizing language? It's not making assumptions about what causes a person's behavior, not pigeonholing them, and not claiming that you can know everything about a person just because you know some labels for them.
This can be subtle; here are some examples:
The honey badgers are just crazy. (pathologizing and belittling)
The honey badgers are mentally ill. (pathologizing; defines what the HBs are)
The honey badgers have mental illnesses. (less pathologizing; reports the fact but not as the only thing about them)
The honey badgers are living with mental illness. (less pathologizing; reports the fact but draws attention away from it)
The honey badgers suffer from compulsive behaviors. (even less pathologizing; reports what they do, in a compassionate way)
The honey badgers hunt cobras even when they aren't hungry, and they seem unable to stop. (even less pathologizing; focuses almost totally on what they do.)
Mrs Honey Badger is PMSing again. (pathologizing)
Mrs Honey Badger seems very angry today. (non-pathologizing)
I wish Mr Honey Badger would stop acting gay all the time. (pathologizing)
I get confused and uncomfortable when I see Mr Honey Badger looking for new cobra recipes in cooking magazines. (non-pathologizing; gets at the root of the speaker's concern)
We could go on, but in general:
Describe what you see, not what you think it means. If someone is talking to people who aren't visible to you, say that–there's no need to say it's because they're crazy or because they're schizophrenic.
Talk about behavior, not what you think caused it.
Beware of using language that minimizes other people's experiences or encourages them to be silent.
Recognize that what you think is aberrant and sick may just be normal behavior for other people. Stay open to that possibility.
The honey badgers get sad when people call them crazy. They're just trying to be themselves, working their way through a confusing and changing world that's full of cobras and jackals that steal their mice and call them stupid.

Can I skip sessions in the pack?
Packs have been designed with a certain sequence of instructions. We believe that when one is learning to meditate it's really important that they stick with this sequence so that the experience is meaningful and most effective. Hence skipping of sessions isn't permitted.

Blend together water, oil, miso, and algal oil. Pour over mushrooms and marinate in a bag or sealable container for 4-8 hours.
Preheat over to 350°F. Roast mushrooms uncovered in a non stick or cast iron pan for 35-40 minutes, turning half way through.
Let mushrooms cool until they are able to be handled. Slice about 2 inches up from the bottom of each mushrooms, then slice 1/4 inch circles all the way to the cap. Cut the bottom pieces into long quarters.
Use a small sharp knife to cut centers out of the circles, set aside or toss if you would like. Using a fork, gently shred the bottom half of each quartered section.
Fill a bag or container with the batter ingredients. Mushrooms will be quite wet, so just toss them in the flour and shake to coat throughly.
Add about 1/2 inch of oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. When oil is hot, add breaded mushroom pieces. Turn after about 3-4 minutes, or when pieces start to brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and tarter sauce.
You make the best stuff; these sound fantastic!!

Fair Pittsburgh Pirates Coverage
Pirates Outlast The Padres
Posted byCraig W. Toth April 13, 2021 April 13, 2021 Posted inOpinion & AnalysisTags:Baseball, MLB, Pirates, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Pirates
In a first inning pitcher's duel Chad Kuhl prevailed by only allowing two runs, on a leadoff home run and a bases loaded walk; while Blake Snell was chased by the Pirates thanks to some two out magic from back to back doubles off the bats of Jacob Stallings and Erik Gonzalez. Unfortunately he wasn't unable to qualify for the win as he only made it through 3.2 innings after a throwing error, a wild pitch, five more walks two more earned runs.
Luckily for Pittsburgh their hitters arrived to salvage the win, or at least most of them did. Kevin Newman collected two hits in the leadoff spot, Bryan Reynolds added two of his own and the aforementioned tandem of Stallings and Gonzalez had three a piece. Even Colin Moran got in on the action with a pinch hit RBI single. On the opposite end of the spectrum Wilmer Difo and Anthony Alford-both potential DFA candidates when Ke'Bryan Hayes returns from the IL-combined for seven strikeouts in nine at bats.
As far as the Pirates bullpen was concerned they also outperformed the Padres, although it wasn't always pretty outside of the 14 pitch two strikeout performance from Chris Stratton; who earned the win in Pittsburgh's 8-4, 4 hour and 7 minute victory over the Padres.
Jacob Stallings has been a pretty clutch over the past couple of seasons; hitting .472 with 19 RBIs in 35 opportunities with runners in scoring position.
The Pirates pitchers combined for 13 walks and 6 strikeouts. On any level that is cause for concern.
There were seven hit batsmen between the two ball clubs; including Phillip Evans and Jorge Mateo were both hit twice.
Kevin looked a lot more comfortable hitting in the leadoff spot. I would consider keeping him there, even when they are not facing a lefty.
I realize RichRod has only pitched 4.1 innings this year, but in this limited work he has looked extremely competent; allowing only two base runners and striking out five.
The Pirates and Padres are halfway through the four game series, as Joe Musgrove (2-0, 0.00 ERA) officially return to PNC Park, fresh off his no-hitter, to take on Tyler Anderson (0-0, 5.23 ERA) at 6:35 PM EST.

This passage, like some of Revelation, is concerned with judgement. We know that the book of Revelation contains many word pictures, prophecies, "fantastic" things. I turned to writer and poet Eugene Peterson to help me understand Revelation. I love the introductions he has written to each book of the Bible in the paraphrase Bible The Message.
In his introduction to Revelation he writes about worship, "Our times are not propitious for worship. The times never are. The world is hostile to worship. The devil hates worship…" As we see the majesty and power of Christ in these verses we can worship our Lord, who will judge and rule. Verses 6:15ff describe how everyone, rich and poor will be afraid of the power of Christ.
In Rev. 1:17 when John sees a vision of Jesus he "fell at his feet as though dead." Jesus reassures him, "Do not be afraid… I am the living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever." To me, Jesus says in these verses, I rule over death and I will rule over the earth forever.
Time is just about up. (Rev. 1:3, The Message). (That simple phrase is set apart).
So it seems to say to us, who are about to begin our day this Friday, set aside some time to think about how Jesus is worthy of our worship, and , "time is just about up;" Jesus will redeem the earth and make it new and we worship Him.

"We seek to continue perfecting the referees and give them tools so that they can fulfill their role in the best possible way," said Diego Uranga, Director of the CEAR, Referee Training and Update Center. "We have to work hard on the team spirit, move and develop as such," he concluded.
For his part, the Sports Director and the Area of Referees of the AAP, Marcos Aldao, emphasized that "Unifying criteria continues to be one of our priorities, it is a long work and requires a lot of dedication on the part of all involved".
On this occasion, a joint work was carried out on different plays and their different evaluations. "We care that the referees are the ones who evaluate their work and from the talk they can have a common criterion," said Aldao. "Not only do we have to focus on the game and its rules, we also want to know how they prepare for each match, we look for a work methodology for before, during and after each match, all to improve the sport and the show" .

A breakthrough in China,
another blow for Sudbury
Molten nickel pig iron is removed from a massive bucket at a plant in Huaibei, China.
Andy Hoffman/The Globe and Mail
Andy Hoffman
Asia-Pacific Reporter,
Xuzhou, China
Ask Li Guang about the prospects for his business and a self-assured grin creeps across the young executive's face. It's a smile that means trouble for Canada's nickel-mining capital of Sudbury, Ont., more than 11,000 kilometres away from Mr. Li's office in eastern China.
"Our production has quite a lot of advantages compared to refined nickel," says the budding metals titan, who is all of 30 years old and dressed in a short-sleeve dress shirt and black jeans. "Now, in China, many other enterprises are going to enter this market. Gradually they will take over a lot of the share of refined nickel."
Mr. Li and his company, Jiangsu Mingzhu, are among the many Chinese manufacturers churning out a revolutionary product known as nickel pig iron or NPI. Despite its prosaic name, the alloy has set the global nickel industry on its ear by providing a low-cost alternative to the refined nickel that has typically been used to make stainless steel. Cheap NPI threatens to squelch demand for the refined metal, which is produced in places like Sudbury, as well as in Russia and Australia.
In less than five years, NPI has reshaped the world nickel industry, marking a new stage in China's capitalist evolution. Since it opened itself to trade in the late 1970s, the Asian nation has become famous for two things – lowering the price of manufactured products with its cheap labour costs, and driving up the price of commodities with its aggressive demand. Now it is altering the fundamentals of a vital industrial sector with a homespun innovation.
NPI, a material produced in low-tech Chinese factories, already accounts for as much as 10 per cent of the world's $21-billion-a-year nickel market, more than all the nickel that can be produced annually in Sudbury. Some analysts expect China's NPI producers to double their output this year.
The booming supply of the new product hits hard at traditional nickel miners. Until recently, the world's largest mining firms believed that surging Chinese demand for the metal would last for decades. As a result, fevered takeover battles erupted in 2006 and 2007 for Canada's two nickel giants, Inco and Falconbridge.
But the days of $24 (U.S.) a pound nickel, last witnessed in 2007, are unlikely to ever return. The average Chinese producer of NPI can now be profitable at nickel prices of about $8.50 a pound – just about exactly where prices stand right now. If nickel prices were to surge, China's NPI producers could quickly flood the market with their lower-cost alternative.
"It does put a cap on world nickel prices. If not in practical terms, at least in psychological terms," concedes David Constable, vice-president of investor relations at Quadra FNX Mining Ltd., a Canadian company that began as a Sudbury nickel producer but has diversified its production to focus primarily on copper.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining firm, has already turned bearish on nickel and sold some of its mines. The emergence of NPI was a key factor in the decision, analysts say. They expect the Chinese product's impact to only get larger with time, as more producers enter the fray.
In a worst-case scenario, NPI could usurp all of China's demand for traditional nickel, reducing the global market for the metal and creating a nightmare for firms that paid top dollar for nickel assets at the height of the market. Among the firms that invested heavily were Vale SA, the Brazilian iron ore giant that paid $19.4-billion in 2006 to win control of Inco's Sudbury operations, and Xstrata PLC, the Anglo-Swiss metals conglomerate that scooped up Falconbridge and its Sudbury nickel assets at a price that valued the company at more than $22-billion. (Both Vale and Xstrata declined comment for this story.) Vale's nickel production in Sudbury and Voisey's Bay, Newfoundland, has been crippled for nearly a year by a bitter strike over workers' wages and benefits. If and when production resumes, the company's commitment to exploration and expansion in Canada will have to be made with the threat of NPI looming large.
How did a low-profile collection of Chinese manufacturers upset the plans of the world's mining giants? It's a story about ingenuity born out of necessity. It's also a story about China's emerging entrepreneurial class and its growing impact on the global economy.
Cost advantage
The heart of Mr. Li's burgeoning metals empire is hardly a high-tech showpiece. The plant where Jiangsu Mingzhu produces NPI in the city of Huaibei in China's Anhui province belches smoke. A stray dog picks at a pile of rubbish, while a worker sits atop a hill of nickel ore, spraying it down with a hose to keep it from turning to dust and blowing away in the wind.
The NPI plant sits right beside its electricity source – a coal-fired plant. "We spend 160,000 yuan [about $24,300 Canadian]on electricity per day," boasts Wu Jinduo, the plant's sales and supply director.
Workers begin the NPI process by mixing together three ingredients – coking coal, nickel ore from Indonesia, and a mix of gravel and sand known as aggregate or flux. The mix goes into one of the factory's three furnaces, where it's blasted with high heat, reduced and concentrated. The molten material is then poured into moulds to make bars of nickel pig iron. Workers use long metal rakes to scrape the remnants of the metal liquid from the container.
The process is dirty, dangerous and rudimentary. But it contains some vital advantages.
Foremost among those advantages is the factory's ability to capitalize on several low-cost materials – cheap power, a small amount of coking coal, and, most important, low-grade Indonesian ore.
The ore contains less than 2 per cent nickel, making it unsuitable for traditional nickel production. But it is nearly half iron. Thanks to that high iron content, the NPI that emerges from this plant contains a generous amount of nickel – 10 to 12 per cent – mixed into a base that is nearly all iron.
For China's thousands of stainless steel producers, the combination of nickel and iron is hugely attractive. They pay NPI producers the same price (or slightly less) as they would pay traditional producers to get the nickel content they need to make stainless steel. They get a bonus of iron – another ingredient needed to make steel – for free.
Exactly who invented the NPI process is unknown. Industry executives say Chinese producers took their first faltering steps with the product around 2005. The early batches of NPI were prohibitively expensive and low grade, containing only about 4 per cent nickel or less. The world's big nickel producers took little note.
Development went into fast forward when nickel prices spiked in 2007 and China's stainless steel producers were forced to look for alternatives. As nickel soared to $24 (U.S.) a pound from $10, the economics of NPI suddenly looked more attractive. Many Chinese smelters along the country's east coast switched from producing other metals to making NPI, a shift that led to major improvements in smelting techniques.
In Xuzhou, Mr. Li's company was among the most important innovators. Mr. Li's father had founded Jiangsu in the 1980s to produce metal alloys, but by 2006, the company had moved into producing NPI. It soon figured out a way to enhance the quality of the material. "We were the first enterprise in China to smelt pig iron by electric furnace," Mr. Li says.
By switching from blast furnaces to electric furnaces, Chinese NPI producers can now make material containing between 8 and 15 per cent nickel. Similar in quality to ferronickel produced by nickel giants such as Vale, the Chinese NPI production can be used to make high-end "300 Series" stainless steel.
By 2009, the top NPI producers had reduced production costs to between $7 and $8 a pound, according to analysts. By December of last year, approximately 70 Chinese firms were producing NPI, says Celia Wang, an analyst at Shanghai Metals Market, a unit of research firm CBI China, and an expert in the NPI industry.
Ms. Wang estimates that NPI production hit 44,000 tonnes of nickel in the first quarter and she expects output to break records this year, reaching between 160,000 tonnes and 180,000 tonnes of nickel – production that otherwise would have come from traditional refined nickel miners.
China is expected to gobble even more NPI in the future. Until now, demand has been driven by small private manufacturers of stainless steel. The country's largest steel producers, the state-owned enterprises (SOEs), have yet to begin using NPI on a wide scale.
Mr. Li says it's only a matter of time before the big producers, which make about 40 per cent of China's stainless steel, turn to NPI. "They sell their products in the higher end of the market so they can afford refined nickel, right now," he says during an interview in his spacious office in Xuzhou. He predicts that within two years the SOEs will diversity their sources of supply. If so, that will take another big bite out of global demand for refined nickel.
Environmental worries
The question is whether NPI will become more than a Chinese phenomenon. Because of steep duties, it's not economical for Chinese NPI producers to export their product to stainless steel producers outside of China. However, Jiangsu Mingzhu is planning to build an NPI plant in the Philippines; it is also looking at constructing another offshore plant in Indonesia.
Jim Lennon, an analyst with Macquarie Group based in London, isn't ready to write off the traditional nickel industry just yet. He points out that NPI requires not only cheap nickel ore, but also coking coal and inexpensive electricity – a combination that is hard to find outside of China. Still, Mr. Lennon expects that NPI production in China could reach 200,000 tonnes of nickel this year, or about a third of Chinese demand.
What could stop China's NPI boom? One threat is growing environmental concerns. China has already moved to shut scores of high-polluting coal plants and could set its sights on smelters used to produce NPI. As well, if China allows its currency to appreciate, NPI producers could feel the pinch.
But Mr. Li, the young chief of Jiangsui Mingzhu, doesn't seem to be worried. With five plants in China, Jiangsu is now the country's second-largest NPI producer. Mr. Li plans to take his company public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange within the next two years. He has plenty of reason to grin – and Sudbury has plenty of reason to worry.
Everything you ever wanted to know about nickel pig iron but were afraid to ask
Nickel pig iron (NPI) is a material produced in China that is used as a substitute for traditional refined nickel in the production of stainless steel. Nickel is the key ingredient that makes stainless steel shiny and corrosion resistant.
Is it new?
Yes. NPI was first made in China in 2005 and only produced in large quantities beginning in 2007.
The key ingredient in NPI is low-grade ore, usually imported from Indonesia or the Philippines. The ore, which generally contains less than 2 per cent nickel, is unsuitable for traditional nickel production. NPI manufacturers mix the ore with coking coal and aggregate or gravel, then transfer it to a furnace, which smelts it. NPI producers originally used blast furnaces powered by coal, but a new generation of producers rely upon electric furnaces, which produce NPI with a higher nickel content.
What does NPI consist of?
NPI consists of 4 to 15 per cent nickel. The rest of the material is pig iron – an important advantage since iron is also needed to produce stainless steel.
How is this different from traditional nickel from Sudbury?
Traditional nickel begins with higher-grade ore, with a nickel content typically above 2 per cent. The ore is crushed and smelted to remove many impurities. The smelted material goes to a refinery where it is processed into pure nickel.
Is NPI cheaper to produce than refined nickel?
It depends upon how you do your accounting. Innovation and improved technologies have reduced the cost to between $7 (U.S.) and $8 a pound of nickel. In comparison, the cost of producing a nickel in Sudbury is thought to be about $5 a pound. However, the cost of building a traditional nickel mine, smelter and refinery are massive compared to the cost of building an NPI factory.
Why do Chinese stainless steel producers use NPI?
For two reasons. One, they can often buy the nickel content in NPI for slightly less than buying the equivalent amount of pure nickel. Two, they get the pig iron in NPI – which they need to produce stainless steel anyway – for free.
Why is NPI used only by Chinese stainless steel producers?
China levies a steep export duty on NPI that makes it cost prohibitive to ship the product outside of the country. To avoid the duty, some Chinese companies are planning to build NPI plants in the Philippines or Indonesia.

Dodgers News: X-Rays Negative on Chris Taylor's Left Wrist; May Be Heading to IL
Taylor exited the game after playing another inning on defense.
by Clint Pasillas 07/14/2019, 10:30 PM
Dodgers shortstop Chris Taylor exited the game on Sunday after being hit on the left wrist by a 92.4 mph fastball in the 11th inning of a 12 inning 7-4 Los Angeles win.
He stayed in the game through the bottom of the 11th inning and made a game saving diving catch up the middle. However, he was replaced by pinch hitter Austin Barnes in the 12th inning as he went for x-rays.
Thankfully Bill Plunkett hit us with the update (apologies for the bad play on words).
#Dodgers Chris Taylor has X-rays on left wrist. Negative but "still in a lot of pain" Dave Roberts said
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) July 15, 2019
Ken Gurnick offered this from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts,
For Chris to come out of a game, you know it had to be hurting him," said Roberts, who was forced to lose the designated hitter to cover for Taylor's removal. "He's still in a lot of pain.
X-rays on Taylor's wrist came back negative, but he remained in a "lot of pain". So much so, he struggled putting on his shoes after the game. "I'm hoping it's just a bad bone bruise," Taylor said. "It's just stiff."
#Dodgers Chris Taylor was putting on his shoes without using his left hand when he said the X-rays were done by "kind of an old machine." He's not in the clear yet but "I'm hoping it's just a bad bone bruise."
Roberts said the team will continue to monitor Taylor's wrist and didn't rule out a roster move happening during or before the series in Philadelphia.
Taylor said his wrist is very sore and it will monitor it tomorrow. Roberts didn't rule out a roster move.
— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) July 15, 2019
Further tests are expected to be taken on Monday in Philly.
As noted by our Daniel Preciado, CT3 had been hot, having went in to Sunday's matchup batting .391 over his previous 25 games.
If he does hit the Injured List, Matt Beaty may return to the active roster, or the organization can recall catcher Will Smith and have Austin Barnes backup at second base.

Wayne Riddle says:
This would be a blow to us since Chris has been raking the last month. Hopefully a couple days will take care of it.
Howard32 says:
Hopefully it's only a bruise. Call up Beaty if necessary. Muncy at second Beaty at 1st or Pederson. Both can play outfield also. Barnes looks confused when at bat.


Prum Chea, who was convicted earlier this year in connection with an protest against alleged Vietnamese border encroachments, is escorted from the Cambodian Appeal Court.
The Kingdom's Appeal Court has heard the case of opposition leader Sam Rainsy and two villagers from Svay Rieng province who were convicted earlier this year in connection with a protest against alleged Vietnamese encroachment on Cambodian territory.
Judge Kun Leang Meng said the verdict had been delayed until next Wednesday due to limited time and the "complicated" nature of the case.
In January, Svay Rieng provincial court sentenced Sam Rainsy to two years in prison for racial incitement and destruction of public property after a protest last year in which he allegedly led villagers in uprooting Vietnamese border posts.
Meas Srey, 40, and Prum Chea, 41, received one year in jail each for their alleged roles in the incident. During a hearing of roughly four hours at the Appeal Court, both villagers denied playing a direct role in uprooting the posts.
Under questioning from government lawyer Chan Sok Yeang, Prum Chea said he was unaware of the official status of the border posts.
"I only know that the posts were on my land," he said.
Choung Choungy, Sam Rainsy's lawyer, said the opposition leader had only been doing his duty as a parliamentarian in bringing attention to the border issue.
"My client had only two aims: to respect the people's rights and defend territorial integrity," Choung Choungy said. Chan Sok Yeang said, however, that Sam Rainsy's protest last year was an attempt at unlawful incitement that came as the government was preoccupied with its dealings with Thailand.
"The government has been worrying about the western border, but he has made problems at the eastern border with Vietnam," Chan Sok Yeang said.
Sam Rainsy fled abroad last year to avoid prosecution in the case. In a series of video press conferences and postings on the Sam Rainsy Party's website, however, he produced maps that he said proved his claims of Vietnamese encroachment.
In connection with these attempts at vindication, Sam Rainsy was convicted by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court last month for disinformation and falsification of public documents, receiving a 10-year prison term in addition to the two years he received from the Svay Rieng court in January.
Khim Ponnapan, a member of the government's border committee who appeared as a witness, said the placement of the border post Sam Rainsy allegedly uprooted had not been finalised.
Ponnapan had declined to disclose the final location of the border post in question.
"My only crime was to expose the government's mistakes before they were willing to recognise them themselves," Sam Rainsy said.

Abbey of Saint-Hilaire
The Benedictine abbey of Saint-Hilaire was built on the site of the chapel built at the request of Saint-Hilaire, first bishop of Carcassonne, in the 6th century, which was buried in its oratory. In the 8th century, this chapel was replaced by a church built by the founding monks of the abbey.
The abbey was initially placed under the name Saint-Saturnin, or Saint-Sernin, the first bishop of Toulouse. The abbey passed under the patronage of Saint-Hilaire during the discovery of the sacred remains of his body made in the abbey church on 22 February 970, at the request of Roger I, Earl of Carcassonne and his wife Adelaide. They took the rule of Saint Benedict, became the great benefactors of the abbey and were buried about 1012, in the sanctuary of the abbey church.
From the 11th to the 13th centuries, the abbey gained considerable importance and influence throughout the region.
The monastery of Saint-Hilaire was devastated by the Crusaders, which led to the restoration work carried out by Guillaume, abbot from 1237 to 1260. The cloister was built under the abbey of Bertrand de Touron (1323-1340).
The second half of the fourteenth century experienced the devastation caused by the epidemic of the Black Death and great insecurity during the Hundred Years War. The monastery developed and maintained its fortifications, resulting in additional expenses. In 1741, the property of the abbey was alienated or possessed by private individuals. There were only seven religious left. In 1748, the Bishop of Carcassonne enacted a decree for the extinction and suppression of the claustral offices and monastic squares of the abbey of Saint-Hilaire.
The abbey church became the parish church in 1758. The current bell tower was erected in 1898.
It should be noted that the "Blanquette de Limoux" was invented in 1531 by the monks of the abbey of Saint-Hilaire. It is the oldest effervescent wine in the world.
