games and has done so on the back of top-to-bottom excellent pitching performances I thought about awarding the entire pitching staff But for the last week of April I’ve got to award it to one pitcher in particular: Seth Lugo Lugo started two games over the last week—yesterday against the Tampa Bay Rays and April 25 against the Houston Astros Lugo had maybe the best game of his career: 8 shutout innings with only four baserunners allowed Lugo went 6 strong innings with two earned runs and five strikeouts against zero walks He debuted as a 26-year-old for the New York Mets in 2016 where he started some games and pitched out of the pen for the rest when he threw 146.1 innings for the Padres Kansas City saw even more late-blooming potential and a sweet spot in the free agent market and signed him to a two-year deal with a player option Lugo was selected to his first All-Star Game and was the Cy Young runner up One of the things I’m trying to do more of this year is to sit back and enjoy the good baseball is going to end up an all-time great and is at the height of his powers especially since Royals fans sat through so much bad pitching over the years and against the Rays Statcast picked up 10 different pitch types from him only two of which were used more than one fifth of the time Lugo is central to the Royals’ hope of winning the AL Central and going back to the playoffs And who knows—maybe he’ll even win the Cy Young this year Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInERIE PA (WBNG) -- After opening the series at Erie

the Royals’ 2-0 victory over the Astros in the series opener at Kauffman Stadium walked one and needed just 94 pitches to record 24 outs Lugo’s effectiveness resulted in a one hour that was probably the best game I’ve seen him pitch Right from the get-go it looked like he was incredibly sharp they made him work a little bit there towards the end and needed some good defense there to get out of that but the crispness of his pitches and efficiency he was working with was incredible.” Lugo worked his nine-pitch mix to his advantage once again attacking all parts of the zone with varying speeds and movement He recorded two strikeouts with his cutter I would always look back at the scoreboard and see what pitch he was throwing,” said Drew Waters he’s got like 13 pitches to keep guys off-balance so any time you get to watch a guy like that pitch The only trouble Lugo faced was in the sixth when Cam Smith worked a leadoff walk before advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt with

center of Roberto Lugo’s “Orange and Black” exhibition at the Princeton University Art Museum’s Art@Bainbridge gallery I attended Lugo’s artist and curator conversation at Bainbridge.  The exhibition centers pottery’s inherent capacity for storytelling and bridging connections between the past and present and college students have been inspired by the collection’s ability to blend traditional Greek pottery with modern storytelling using Lugo’s work as examples for their classes.  Lugo spoke about his resonance with the colors orange and black They didn’t represent the Princeton Tigers Growing up in a North Philadelphia neighborhood where many friends and family members were impacted by incarceration And something else: ancient Greek pottery.  this blend of passion for social injustice and interest in the traditions of ancient Greek ceramics offers a glimpse into his childhood This artistic transparency was most evident in “What Had Happened Was: The Path.” In this work of storytelling abolitionist Harriet Tubman is pictured leading a group of enslaved people around the entire vase symbolizing the often circular struggle for freedom compelling them to confront the work and its message Lugo honors previous and current generations that have fought for freedom.  Visually tracing the figures running across the vase While the vase’s spherical shape celebrates the perseverance of abolitionists it also evokes the idea that resistance and the pursuit of freedom are a perpetual struggle As one traces their eyes across the pottery the forward movement takes on a certain stillness forcing the observer to grapple with the complex and often uncertain nature of progress and change.   Lugo further highlights African American resilience in his piece “What Had Happened Was: Ruby Bridges,” which depicts a young Ruby Bridges being escorted by her mother and U.S marshals to her first day at a desegregated elementary school taking advantage of the physical advantages of pottery Lugo portrays a turbulent path across the vase through protesters angrily opposing desegregation and holding degrading signs.  the moderator of the conversation with Lugo “the focus is primarily on Ruby’s body” and “what constitutes her own personhood and experience of the world as a person of color.” Lugo finds imaginative ways to weave his memories and values into his works In “The Life and Times of Dragon Clemente,” Lugo transforms the association of graffiti art with vandalism then maybe offer more art classes in the area for people to have access to express themselves in a way that they’re doing through graffiti.” He then added “If people are fed up with discussions on race and racism then let’s create a more just world … if you don’t like it you have to actually do something about it You can’t just bitch about the fact that it exists Lugo’s work remolds art into community healing and an instrument of social change pick up some violins … See because those who draw good Lugo’s work innovates modern ceramics by tapping into its ancient purpose as a receptacle for human history Lugo’s ceramics’ overarching themes of social justice and resonating depictions of everyday life record stories simultaneously educating and confronting the observer.  After visiting Lugo’s “Orange and Black” exhibition I’ve found myself paying more attention to the objects that interact with daily life contemplating the essential role art plays in relationships Introduced to an entirely new form of creative expression Lugo has also inspired me to think beyond the functionality of our cups Lugo stands out not only for his impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail but also for the meanings intertwined with every emblem and character painted and shaped onto his works.  seeing each vase not as a product of the old or the new but instead as the human qualities Lugo’s deft weaving of ancient Greek history with contemporary examples of oppression and change demands both artistic reflection and a personal transformation from the viewer.  “Orange and Black” is currently on view for free at Art@Bainbridge on Nassau Street until July 6 Irene Kim is a

These, in turn, are accentuated with a subtle metal claw and horsehair, creating a dialogue between softness and hardness. The side table employs a similar design language with a depression in one of the wooden membranes meant to hold incense as it burns The table tangibly illustrates the question at the heart of the Anachron collection as stated in the official release: "How might ancient wisdom manifest in contemporary objects?" These seats are upholstered with Kutnu fabric, especially woven by Kutnia Crafted Fabrics. Their characteristic stripes and sheen add an ornateness to the collection's narrative while subtly referencing traditional headscarves—an indispensable accessory of Anatolian women.
