Hey, they got one of those pitchers back.

I heard this comment on a podcast last week and I wanted to ignore it. But, it sure seems like its more true than I want it to be.

Welcome back, Gary Jones. Not mentioned, but I thought he was to lead the Mud Hens a few years ago but ended up leaving Lakeland with the Tigers. I don't recall how that would have worked out that way.

The Yankees were never forced into the ****ty Editions.

The answer to all your questions is money.

You think he's going to reply to this? Well bless your heart....

I tend to agree whoever wins game 5 wins the series. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see the opposite occur. I guess the only thing that would surprise me is 3 lopsided games to finish this series out.

Whoever posts it, it wasn't done on a Trump phone.

But how many pitches on the home run?

My left knee was a little sore this morning.

Oh, I forgot, this game is on Peacock because professional sports has to suck every damn nickel out of people that they can. I remember when all of these streaming services were going to benefit the consumer and cost less in the end. Ha!

Major Benjamin Franklin Stickney, participant of the infamous Toledo War, named his sons One and Two. So, been there, done that.

This team needs a hug from Mom. And maybe some spaghetti.

Or maybe it’s move Duren in a sign and trade if some team (hopefully with lots of assets) offers him max?

It’s too bad Stewart couldn’t become more of a 3 point threat and/or Duren didn’t have to be in the paint on offense. Finding Reed minutes at C wouldn’t be so difficult. That’s probably got to be top of the to do list this offseason? Thompon’s offense overall and maybe back to the drawing board for Stewart on the arc?

Bah, damnit!! Didn’t think they would sweep them, but they got close to 3-0.

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.

Grumpfart.

You can’t stop him. You can only hope to contain him.

At halftime all I wanted was a single digit deficit after the 3rd. Now I want to completely steal this game.

I don’t disagree. But they seem hell bent on keeping him around despite the slim skill set he has. Actually, I wonder if there’s too much pride in keeping players of his ilk around too long. He was successful in his role as DH vs LHP last season. Great. In the grand scheme of roster build, how valuable is that given other concerns with the roster? What are the odds of a duplicate season?

No, they don’t have to hide Harden’s bad defense. 😆 I do wonder if he’s just at the point in his career where he is going to show wear and tear on both sides of the ball in the playoffs. Give him some credit, he’s played 70+ games the last three regular seasons and playoffs on top of that. But if it’s going to lead to him being ineffective on the offensive side, then there’s nothing for Cleveland to do with him but run the offense through other guys and use him as an alternative option. Probably not what they were hoping for when they traded for him. Hopefully the Piston defense travels. It’s just so damn glorious to watch it when it’s clicking. I’m a defense first fan, I find it more fascinating to watch. And seeing Thompson flying all over the place in this playoffs has been an absolute joy. Seeing that translate to other Pistons at times has been fun to see, too. And Holland and his bit of havoc off of the bench. Sure, this team is going to be heavily dependent upon Cunningham. But grind the opponent down along the way. Make them struggle to score, force them to use energy on both sides of the court.
