Go back a year. I tell you people are suggesting that the Pistons need to make a deal and go for it. Also, the Indiana Hoosiers have just gone undefeated and won the NCAAF title. After you’re done (justifiably) mocking me, pick which one dropping your life savings on.

Pitchers and catchers report soon. We’re almost there.

I was trying to remember if Imperial was at Central & Reynolds. Long gone. When they closed, the annual PBA stop moved to Southwyck. Southwyck is still open, but somewhere along the line Toledo lost its bid as an annual stop for the PBA. Maybe they don’t do weekly stops like they used to, I have no idea.

Just think of it this way. James is an injury replacement for Leonard.
-
It must be on his BR page somewhere, but I couldn’t find how many gift baskets he gave out.
-
I think the lane conditions were a factor. He rolled it during “open bowl” conditions and outside of the construct of the normal league night and lane conditions. That was the story he was given. This specific occurrence had to be, gosh, over 30 years ago. I’m pretty sure he has at least one ring for his endeavors. Name on the wall at the place of this league. The place eventually burned down, so, so much for that notoriety.

He’s going to get himself unqualified for season accolades if he keeps missing games.

Those kids behind the dugouts surely got a vocabulary lesson that night.

Was in a bowling league with a friend. We prebowled one week because we weren’t going to make it for league night. Friend rolled a 300. It counted as far as the score goes, but because we prebowled, it wasn’t an official 300. I guess they put an asterisk on it. Meh, whatever, he’s had a few official 300s besides the asterisked one.

I still think a guy like P Chris Bassitt would help the pitching depth. I don’t think there’s much more that will be done with the hitting for now, and I think I’m fine with that. But I think the pitching could use a bit more depth.
-
Exactly. They shot him when he clearly wasn’t a threat. I think it’s fair to assume everybody at the January 6 picnic wasn’t carrying legally. But that event gets glossed over.

The only thing I expect for the 2026-27 offseason is that no baseball fan will be happy.

That’d be the best thing to happen right now.

Interesting. I thought Baltimore had serious interest in Whitaker and Cleveland had serious interest in Trammell in their final years. I don’t recall the Whitaker and Atlanta tango.

Not in spotting distance of the top of the list?

Vina. That’s an awesome pull.

I understand what you’re saying about extra seasons tacking on WAR. JAWS is a measure of the best 7 seasons of a players WAR, so by that measure it ignores the “hanging on” effect. Whitaker is at 56 and Kent is at 46. And I don’t mean to be critical of a guy playing an extra season. If a guy can do it, by all means do it. Ichiro Suzuki couldn’t pull himself way from the game. He ended up as a 5th OF with the Marlins. So what? He’s still a hall of fame player. One of my favorite players to watch in his prime.

Whitaker hit leadoff. Not a lot of RBI opportunities there.
-
I have a feeling he’s going to age not gracefully. I’m certainly no expert. I just think his value won’t be higher given his age, production, and contract. They could find another corner OF if need be, maybe even in the same deal. I’ll admit this is probably contrary to my opinion of keeping Skubal and getting into the playoffs this season. But I think it’d be easier to replace Greene’s production than it would be to replace Skubal’s production.

Who’s your educational establishment linked minor league pro team of choice?

It was only a matter of time. MLB and NBA have done this. I don’t find those patches bothersome right now. The Tigers, in particular, have at least gotten the Meijer patches to blend in with the jerseys as far as color pattern is concerned. I suppose that helps. On the other hand, if I’m marketing and I dole cash over to a team, I don’t necessarily want the patch to be “invisible”.
-
Yeah. I hope this characteristic doesn’t leak outside of college football coaching into other aspects of life.
-
If the Tigers were looking to shop someone for prospects, Greene might be the best that the Tigers can offer in order to bring back talent. I wouldn’t want any part of extending him beyond his controllable years.

It boosted his ego. And it took focus off of things like the Epstein files, flagging economy and militarization of the state.
