  1. Lange gives up a single, a force out, and a walk. 2 on, 1 out.
  2. Foley only threw 13 pitches there, but Lange will pitch the 9th no doubt.
  3. Baddoo has been on base 6 times in 7 PAs on the weekend...and gets pulled for a pinch hitter.
  4. Why is Nevin stealing bases? The Tigers have given away 2 outs on the bases in the first 3 innings.
  5. Kopech has walked 4 of the 6 hitters he has faced.
  6. Biden you POS, why won't you meet with DeSantis when he refuses to meet with you?
  7. Here's something that we have to be careful about though, moving forward, and it is this...Joey Wentz is just freaking awful. It's an important consideration.
  8. Get rid of David Chadd...A++++. Get rid of Kevin Rand...A++. Get rid of Willi and Harold, A. Sign Lorenzen and flip him, A+. Acquire an on-base freak like Malloy, A. Draft the 2023 Tigers draft, A.
  9. Screw that, the heavy bomber thread. The Lancaster, with 4 Rolls-Royce Merlins.
  10. Yes, he is a good-field, no-hit shortstop, lots of teams have those. Forget about the money, it's gone.
  11. Absolutely right, he and Vierling are good baseball players, miles and miles better than Harold and Willi, whose roles they should take. They aren't starters.
  12. That's a d*** move, claiming a guy and then releasing him before the ink is dry. Come on Harris, go ahead and dumpster dive but don't be a d***
  13. The smell of urine should'of given you a clue.
  14. 20 home runs for Malloy, with a .423 OBP.
  15. Ha ha I used to love Don Martin.
  16. Hinch can't play the same 8 players every day because he doesn't have 8 good players.
  17. Breaching is good unless you then get flanked, correct? What is your sense of whether this is a sustainable breakthrough?
  18. I am cheerfully disagreeing! I want to be like the Braves, they roll out the same 8 guys, plus a catcher, every night and they don't give a crap about defensive versatility or L/R matchups. They accomplished this by finding good players, not chess pieces. What has changed, for us long time fans, is that the best athletes don't play baseball anymore. They play point guard, or read option quarterback. And that makes the Braves' accomplishment so much more impressive, and of course the best Caribbean or Venezuelan athletes don't play point guard or read option quarterback so maybe that's a clue. That's what I'm hoping for, a drafting/developing regime that produces good every day players, like the Braves did, and a regime that doesn't behave as though platooning is an objective and not a compromise.
  19. Yes the outfield is set - Greene, Meadows and Carpenter. 600 PA's each, unless some or all of them screw up the first 200. There is a need for 2 more OF/DH types, that's Malloy and Baddoo. The bench is Vierling, McKinstry, whichever OF/DH isn't playing, and a catcher. Baez and Torkelson play every day, and Rogers catches 120 games. There are big holes at 3B and 2B...can Keith play one? Can Eddys Leonard play the other? It seems like if Harris can find an MLB regular in trade to improve the lineup it should be an every day player at 3B or 2B.
  20. That would be the time to call in an air strike.
  21. "Far left" implies that someone is talking about nationalizing industries, capping CEO compensation, instituting guaranteed incomes, and so on. Taking a compassionate position on human rights issues isn't in the same area code. It's more like "leans left".
  22. Walter would have kicked his ass all over that backyard skating rink, he would have been horrified at the notion that Wayne didn't have enough money yet and needed to shill for bookies. He was a legendary fundraiser and community volunteer, and all these years after his death he still has a reserved parking space at Brantford Arena, that's how much they think of him. Wayne is a tremendous disappointment.
  23. He wrote some kickass marching band tunes.
  24. As of February 2024, there will be no more athletes or other celebrities in gambling ads in Ontario. Up your ass Gretzky.
