  1. He hasn’t by now, so what do you think the odds are that he will?
  2. The Jerk Sox win via pythag.
  3. Tough day. I wonder, had he not gone to retake the runner on the stolen base (Bliss?), does Seattle challenge? It turned out to be nothing in the end, so, ok, big deal. Then when he was out at the plate, he clearly ran inside the running lane. If the throw hits him, is he automatically called out? And if not, can the play be challenged?
  4. Tony Gwynn had 434 SOs in 20 MLB seasons. Tony Gywnn had 596 assists in 4 NCAA basketball seasons.
  5. Pull Sunday's game up to Saturday due to the oncoming monsoons?
  6. Probably Skubal.
  7. Yeah, but I can do without Stewart’s technicals and Reed’s three point attempts.
  8. I am the walrus. Coo coo, ca choo.
  9. Actually what had happened was the Tigers won 2 of the 3 game, but the gestapos in MLB used AI to broadcast a Dodgers sweep. We are now in an alternate universe, but we’ll be linked back up to reality in a few weeks. Look, if you’re going to go half baked drama queen conspiracy theory, don’t half ass it. Step into it full throttle.
  10. Perhaps if either were running for Margot that run in game 2 counts because of better baserunning and the game doesn't go into extras. But that's possibly too much assumption for one play. I don't think OF defense in their absences was an issue, so there's that. I guess on the flip side it could be said that their injuries allowed Torkelson to be with the team. Difficult to assume either or both of Vierling/Meadows would have matched Torkelson's 1.532 OPS in the series.
  11. They couldn't get him an Angels' or a Saints' jacket from Starter?
  12. Swept in the series, but they were definitely in the first two games. Not being able to capitalize with runners in scoring position has been an issue, and I dare say game three might have been different had Sasaki been justifiably booked with a few more runs before his short night was over. On to Seattle.
  13. While everyone is complaining about the Dodgers operating within the rules, some of said behavior which was also enacted by a previous Tiger owner, I will say the salary deferrals irritate me. I think it’s been pointed out that they count in the luxury tax equation, which is one thing. But it seems like bad practice to me, kind of like giving a 15 year old a credit card.
  14. Dan Gilmore always brings 110% to his posts.
  15. That’s an inflationary of only 1.5%. I’m in a completely different industry, but we use 3.5% year over year for labor (wages and salary) if we don’t have precise numbers to use for budgeting/forecasting purposes.
  16. Should the Dodgers send Betts back to Boston since it was a lopsided trade in their favor? The Tigers traded away Flaherty, got a couple of promising prospects, and then reacquired Flaherty. Should that be allowed?
  17. You had it right back when Mike Ilitch was spending like a drunken sailor and you thought there needed to be a salary cap back then.
  18. True. The problem is it wasn’t enough of a stumble to where he knew he needed to retreat. Fan interference and faulty feet. 0-2 start, but they’ve not been outclassed by the Dodgers.
  19. This is a more tolerable out than Torkelson’s TOOTBLAN in the first game.
  20. According to my exhaustive research on bbref, Keith will have made $6.66M after this season. Maybe that means he’ll start hitting like a beast next season?
  21. I get he’s only 23. I’m just not all that impressed by him and I thought the extension was a reach.
  22. Hold on, autocorrect typed in “Freddie Patek”. Who were you actually typing in there?
  23. Did anyone else find themselves tapping the top of their head after a few pitches tonight or was it just me doing that?
