<mask> throws four pitches for strikes: a fastball, a curve, a changeup and a slider. His fastball sits in the 89-92 mph range and he offers a two-seam variety in addition to the traditional four-seam version. His best pitch is the slider, a two-plane breaking ball he can paint on the corner versus right-handed batters and sweep away from lefties in the 79-81 mph range. His low-to-mid 70s curveball is a weapon in any count and his 82-84 mph changeup has shown the most improvement as <mask> has fought his way through injuries.Over the course of his career, <mask>'s arm slot has lowered slightly, dropping from high three-quarters to true three-quarters. He's athletic and repeats his mechanics, aiding in his ability to command his entire arsenal. <mask> is considered an "extreme ground ball pitcher" with a ground ball rate of 58.2% -- second highest of all starting pitchers, since his career began in 2009.

<mask> (5 November 1715 – 23 September 1766) was an English Anglican priest, playwright and essayist. Life
He was born in 1715 at Rothbury, Northumberland, the son of the Rev. <mask> (1677–1763), vicar of Wigton from that year, and his wife Eleanor Troutbeck, née Potts. He matriculated at St John's College, Cambridge in 1732, graduating B.A. 1736, and M.A. 1739; he became D.D. in 1755.Graduating as senior wrangler, <mask> took holy orders, and was appointed minor canon and lecturer at Carlisle. In the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion he took part in the defence of Carlisle as a volunteer, and in 1747 was appointed chaplain to Richard Osbaldiston, on his appointment to the bishopric of Carlisle. In 1756 <mask> was promoted by the Earl of Hardwicke to the living of Great Horkesley in Essex. In 1760 he was made vicar of St Nicholas Church, Newcastle upon Tyne. <mask> was consulted, through Daniel Dumaresq, about a scheme of education which Catherine II of Russia wanted to introduce into her dominions. A memorandum on the subject by <mask> led to an offer on her part to entertain him at St Petersburg as her adviser on the subject. He had bought a postchaise and various other things for the journey, when he was persuaded to relinquish the design on account of his gout.He had been subject to fits of melancholy, and, influenced perhaps by disappointment, he committed suicide on 23 September 1766. There is a detailed account of <mask> by Andrew Kippis in Biographia (1780), containing the text of the negotiations for his journey to Russia. Man of letters
The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and The Machiavellian Moment agree that <mask> was a writer influenced by Machiavelli, Bolingbroke, and Montesquieu. To these the ODNB adds <mask>; and Pocock Cato, i.e. Cato's Letters. He made his way as a man of letters as a

 younger member of the "Warburtonian circle": the followers of the cleric William Warburton. Rise of an essayist
<mask> published Honour (1743), a poem, through Robert Dodsley.It was followed by An Essay on Satire Occasion'd by the Death of Mr Pope (1745), which <mask> at Carlisle published through Dodsley in London. This work gained for him the friendship of William Warburton. Warburton introduced him to Ralph Allen. At Warburton's suggestion, <mask> expanded the Essay on Satire, to an Essay (1751) on the Characteristicks of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury. It is considered to have skewered Shaftesbury's deism and moral sense theory. The "test of ridicule" was supposed to be a key part of Shaftesbury's doctrine; Warburton wanted it undermined, and gave <mask> the task. The Essay was dedicated to Allen, also a supporter of Anglican orthodoxy, and opponent of Shaftesbury.It contains a defence of a utilitarian philosophy, praised later by <mask> Mill. The work was attacked, and Shaftesbury defended, in pamphlets by Charles Bulkley. <mask>'s theoretical argument, that ridicule was a type of valuation incompatible with a role as truth value, was taken up by William Preston. <mask> was interested in drama, but it earned him the disapproval of Warburton and Richard Hurd. He wrote Barbarossa (1754) and Athelstane (1756), both performed; David Garrick and Mrs Cibber played in both, and the first was a success. Later, <mask>'s 1765 revision of Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair was rejected for production by Garrick. "Estimate" <mask>

<mask>'s major popular success was the Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the Times (2 vols., 1757–1758), a bitter satire.It struck a chord after the Battle of Minorca (1756), a British reverse at the outset of the Seven Years' War. Edmund Burke, in a review for

 The Annual Register for 1758, rejected <mask>'s analysis as far as it depended on charges of "effeminacy" in the British nation and aesthetic. Thomas Sheridan believed the fundamental issue was selfishness, and the solution better oratory. Robert Wallace replied with The Characteristics of the Present Political State of Great Britain (1758). In it he defended British culture and the current constitution. <mask>'s An Explanatory Defence of the Estimate (1758) claimed he had acted out to duty to country. Having earned the name "Estimate" <mask>, he was prepared to notice Wallace, out of all his critics.When Charles Hanbury Williams gave <mask> notice that he had written a reply to the first volume of the Estimate, a complex row dragging in Dodsley ensued, ending with <mask> sending a curt message "Footman's language I never return." A sequel on the politics of the Seven Years' War was Additional Dialogue of the Dead between Pericles and Cosmo (1760), in vindication of William Pitt the elder's policy. Aesthetics
<mask> knew Charles Avison, the Newcastle organist and composer, who published in 1752 An Essay on Musical Expression. The following year William Hayes defended Handel against Avison in a pamphlet, and stated that his Essay had been written for him by a "Junto". <mask> had certainly contributed to it, with a number of others including William Mason. He went on to write A dissertation on the rise, union, and power, the progressions, separations and corruptions of poetry and music (1763). Avison's work prompted other such British aesthetic syntheses, from James Beattie, Thomas Twining and Daniel Webb; and the theme was picked up by German writers.<mask>'s work has been identified as belonging to conjectural history; he described in a 1761 letter to Garrick his stadial method of "deducing things from

The Cure of Saul: a Sacred Ode, a poem on the nature of music, was also from 1763, and was reprinted with the Dissertation. It was twice performed as an oratorio at Covent Garden Theatre that year, and once more in 1767. Handel had died, in 1759, and at Covent Garden the oratorio season was now run by <mask> Smith and <mask>. The associated monograph of oratorio criticism, An Examination of the Oratorios which have been performed this Season, at Covent-Garden Theatre (1763) was published within weeks. It contained barely veiled criticism of Smith. <mask> was defending his oratorio, and promoting a post-Handel reform agenda; The Critical Review had belittled him and his efforts, supporting as it did the Earl of Bute, the Prime Minister, while <mask> backed William Pitt.<mask> is also associated with the rise of the picturesque, and appreciation of the landscape of the Lake District. He was a family friend of William Gilpin. He wrote on the subject to George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton, around 1753. This letter has been identified as the first documentation of the "classicising" of the Lake District. It was published, in part, in 1766, in the London Chronicle; and then as a pamphlet. References

She is the inaugural Distinguished Whitlam Fellow with the Whitlam Institute at Western Sydney University, Emeritus Professor at Monash University, and former Director of the National Centre for Australian Studies at Monash University. Her work is in two key areas, counter-terrorism and Australian political biography. In both areas she explores Australian democratic practice, the relationship between the arms of government, and aspects of Australian political history. Her research into the life of former Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam uncovered significant new material on the role of High Court justice Sir Anthony Mason in the dismissal of the Whitlam government. This has been described as "a discovery of historical importance". Since 2001 <mask> has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Lionel Murphy Foundation.In 2010 <mask> was elected a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.

Palace letters campaign

In 2016 <mask> commenced proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia against the National Archives of Australia seeking the release of secret correspondence between the governor-general, Sir John Kerr, and the Queen regarding the dismissal of the Whitlam government. These 'Palace letters' were held by the Archives and were under the embargo of the Queen, potentially indefinitely. The case was unsuccessful in the Federal Court and in February 2019 an appeal to the Full Court of the Federal Court was rejected by a majority. However, in May 2020 <mask>'s appeal to the High Court succeeded: in an emphatic 6:1 decision the High Court found that the Palace letters are "Commonwealth records" (not personal property) and instructed the Director-General of the National Archives to reconsider <mask>'s request for access to the letters, as well as to pay all of <mask>'s considerable legal costs. The letters were released in full and online on 14 July 2020. Reaction to <mask>'s research on Whitlam

As a consequence of the importance of Gough Whitlam in Australia's political history, <mask>'s books about him, and featuring him, have received considerable attention from public commentators, academics and politicians. Overall, the response has been positive.According to the judges of the Barbara Ramsden Award, the Whitlam biography was recognised as "an unusually thorough treatment and ... a monumental project ... reminiscent of the glory days of publishing". Its quality was also highly praised:

Neal Blewett stated that "There is no better account of how the triumph of 1972 turned into the catastrophe of 1975." At the launching of the book, former Labor Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd says that "it lets us see who Gough Whitlam the person was before he became Gough Whitlam the politician". Former premier of Western Australia, Carmen Lawrence, wrote: "It is a testament to <mask>’s research, her eye for the apt example, and her scholarship that she is able to expand our understanding of the man, and the influences that shaped such a significant Australia figure."

Transport Study in Britain

On 1 December 2006, <mask> published a UK government-sponsored report into the future of Britain's transport infrastructure. The Eddington Transport Study set out the case for action to improve road and rail networks, as a "crucial enabler of sustained productivity and competitiveness". The report's main conclusions were that Britain has transport networks that provide the right connections, in the right places, to support the journeys that matter to economic performance. But roads in particular were in serious danger of becoming so congested, the economy would suffer.At the launch of the report <mask> told journalists and transport industry representatives introducing road pricing to encourage drivers to drive less was an "economic no-brainer". There was, he said "no attractive alternative". It would cut congestion by half by 2025, and bring benefits to the British economy totalling £28b. The report also called for a programme of improvements to existing road and rail networks, the expansion of key airports, and adoption of the general principle that travellers should pay for the external costs of the pollution and congestion their journeys cause. Transport Study in Victoria, Australia

<mask> has since delivered a report to the Victorian Government of Australia, the East West Link Needs Assessment report, which was met with mixed reactions. Economic commentators criticised the cost-benefit ratios of <mask>'s proposals, which on <mask>'s own analysis were marginal at best. Honours

 Series (now the Xfinity Series) to build his NASCAR career, Petty told <mask> he was "wasting his time" and advised that <mask> should immediately go for the Cup Series ride. <mask>'s stock-car career got off the ground in 1981, when he captured the Mini-Modified division track championship at Kentucky Motor Speedway. A year later, <mask> entered the Goody's Dash Series, where he won the series championship in 1983 and was voted the circuit's most popular driver in 1983 and 1984. <mask> made his Cup debut in 1985 in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte driving for Dick Bahre. He finished 28th in that race and finished 57th in the series standings after just 5 starts. His brother Darrell won the race.At the same time, <mask> got confronted by Earnhardt, who questioned a previous move early in the race in which <mask> nudged him out of the way and Dale responded by flipping the bird. Despite this incident, Earnhardt and <mask> agreed to disagree over the move and remained friends. 1986–90

In 1986, driving the No. 23 car for Bahari Racing, <mask> finished second in the Rookie of the Year standings to Alan Kulwicki on the strength of a pair of 11th-place finishes at Martinsville and Pocono. The following season, he posted his first career Top 10 finish when he ended up 10th in Martinsville's spring race. In 1988, <mask> began running Busch Series events, making 5 starts for his brother's team. He took the checkered flag for the first time at Dover in his 4th start.In 1989, he had his first top-five finish in the No. 30 Country Time Lemonade/Kool-Aid-sponsored Pontiac.

 for a horrific crash at Bristol in the spring on the 170th lap of the Budweiser 250, where he destroyed his Busch Series Pontiac Grand Prix. After making contact with Robert Pressley in the No. 59, he hit a gate that was in the outside wall at the exit of turn two. The gate was used to allow vehicles in and out of the infield because the track did not have a tunnel. The impact broke the gate, and <mask> went head-on into the end of the wall, disintegrating the car on impact and collapsing the car into itself.Onlookers were sure that <mask> was severely injured, perhaps fatally, because of how massive the impact was and his brother Darrell rushed to the wreck fearing the worst. Amazingly, <mask> survived the accident and he only suffered cuts, soreness, and bruises in the wreck. After Mike Harmon had an almost identical impact several years later (and also amazingly walked away), the gate was moved down to just before the entrance of Turn 3, thus lessening the chance of a car hitting it because cars are diving away from the wall at that point. Later, when asked about the crash by Ken Squier, he replied saying he had "some contusions and a little bit of confusion" and ended with "Hope we did a good job for Kool-Aid." Years later, <mask> said that at first, he thought that Pressley wrecked him on purpose, and thought about fighting him after the incident before thinking better of it. 1991–2000
In early race lineups, <mask> was referred to by broadcasters as "<mask>" or Darrell's little brother. It wasn't until 1991 that he began being referred to in racing lineups as <mask> (<mask>).In 1991, he gained new sponsorship from

He came close to winning the 1991 TranSouth 500 at Darlington, but a jammed air hose on his final visit to the pits caused his stop to last 37.4 seconds, costing him the victory. He stayed with the Bahari team until the end of 1995 when he was replaced by rookie Johnny Benson. He joined Wood Brothers Racing to drive their No. 21 Citgo-sponsored Ford. He won the 1996 edition of The Winston after capturing the last transfer spot in The Winston Open. After posting one top-five finish over three years, and missing his first race since 1986 at the 1998 Dura Lube/Kmart 500, <mask> departed the Wood Brothers at the end of 1998 to drive the No.7 Philips-sponsored Chevrolet for Mattei Motorsports, posting three Top 10 finishes and ending that season 29th in points. However, mid-season the ownership of the team transferred from Mattei to Ultra Motorsports and Jim Smith. The next season, Nations Rent replaced Philips as the sponsor & <mask> moved up to 27th in points but only finished in the Top 5 once, causing him and the team to part ways at the end of the season. <mask> would later say in his 2011 book, In the Blink of an Eye, that 1999 and 2000 were the most disappointing years of his racing career and he began to lose hope that he would ever win a Cup Series race. 2001–05

However, the win itself was largely overshadowed by Earnhardt, Sr.'s fatal crash on the last lap. In the movie The Day: Remembering Dale Earnhardt, <mask> said that Earnhardt let him in line late in the race, which allowed him to take the lead, noting that Earnhardt "never let anyone in line". This presumably is because Earnhardt wanted <mask> and Earnhardt Jr. to finish in the Top 2 spots, as both were members of his team. <mask> was not aware of the severity of Earnhardt's crash until over 30 minutes after the end of the race when he was celebrating in victory lane. Ken Schrader, after having been treated and released from the infield care center following the crash (his car hit Earnhardt's car during the crash), informed <mask> that Earnhardt had been taken to Halifax Medical Center,  from the speedway, where Earnhardt was pronounced dead at 5:16 PM EST. <mask> would later say in his book, and a 2019 podcast episode with Earnhardt Jr., that in the aftermath of the tragedy, he and the No.15 team pushed forward to continue Earnhardt's legacy, "Because we knew we had to." However, his results slumped in the aftermath of the disaster, and he realized after 6 races that he was "not in a good place." By June 2001, his crew chief, Scott Eggleston, departed the team and was replaced by longtime DEI director Steve Hmiel. <mask> did not have another Top 10 finish that season until returning to Daytona in July in the Pepsi 400, where he finished 2nd while holding off the field as teammate

Earnhardt Jr.'s Pepsi 400 finish was emotional to the entire DEI team and when Earnhardt Jr. did his burnout on the infield grass, <mask> pulled up alongside him. <mask> would later say to Kenny Wallace on his podcast in 2021, that the moment with Earnhardt Jr. in the infield was "even bigger than any races I've won, and I didn't even win." <mask> would also have a second-place finish at Homestead with Bill Elliott winning and finished 24th in the standings.The next season, <mask> won the second Gatorade Duel. His next top ten finish would be a second-place finish at Talladega, where he and Earnhardt Jr. combined to lead more than two-thirds of the race, with Earnhardt Jr. taking home his second of four straight wins at Talladega. The following week, <mask> finished tenth at Auto Club. He had eighth-place finishes in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte and the first Pocono race, and fourth place in the first Michigan race. He picked up his second career win at the Pepsi 400 at Daytona. After a ninth-place finish at Watkins Glen, and eighth-place finishes at New Hampshire and Talladega, <mask> finished 14th in the points standings. In 2003, <mask> won a rain-shortened Daytona 500 and also took victory at the EA Sports 500 at Talladega (his only non-Daytona win), while running in the top-five for most of the season before falling back to 15th in points.Of trivial note, <mask> won the first three NASCAR on Fox races at Daytona (2001 and 2003 Daytona 500s, and the 2002 Pepsi 400) with <mask>'s brother Darrell in the broadcast booth.

Gordon however was fined $50,000 and put on probation for the rest of the year after he was discovered to have said "You know everybody thinks <mask> is this good guy. He's not the guy he acts he is. The caution was out, and he wrecked me, and he's a piece of shit." <mask> and Gordon conferred later on, apologized, and continued their careers.After the 2005 season, <mask> left DEI for Bill Davis Racing. 2006–present

2006

On January 20, 2006, <mask> and Doug Bawel, who owned Penske Racing's No. 77 car in 2005, announced the forming of Waltrip-Jasper Racing. Because <mask> was under contract with Bill Davis Racing, they reached a deal with BDR to oversee and supply the new team.

Bawel had a guaranteed starting spot in the first five races of 2006 by the No.77 finishing 34th in the 2005 owner points, although Bawel was shutting down his team and needed a driver to pick up his team's owner points. This arrangement enabled <mask> to make the first five races in 2006 without qualifying on time. After the first five races, this was unnecessary. <mask> failed to qualify for the first time since 1998 at the Coca-Cola 600. He bought a slot from the No. 74 McGlynn Racing Dodge from Derrike Cope to drive in the race and to keep his streak of 262 consecutive races. <mask> ended up missing three races total in 2006 and did not have a top-ten finish.This was attributable to BDR's lawsuit with Dodge, which meant the team did not receive manufacturer support for <mask> or teammate Dave Blaney. <mask> left Bill Davis Racing to form his own Nextel Cup team in 2007. 2007
<mask> moved his Busch Series team, Michael Waltrip Racing, to the Cup Series full-time for the 2007 season. He hired Dale Jarrett and David Reutimann to race in the three-car operation.

After the first round of qualifying for the 2007 Daytona 500, NASCAR inspectors found evidence in the engine intake manifold that <mask>, Reutimann, and Jarrett's teams had used an illegal unspecified oxygenate fuel additive to increase performance.
