1984Echoes

We won't really be able to determine if people (in general) have had enough of Trump until the 2024 election ballots are all in and counted.

That's how I would look at it too...

That could just be the "trendy" or "cool" pick in the current polls but doesn't reflect voting booth reality. IMO. Basically same thing chas is sayin'....

Well he definitely left us with a lot of decent players/ prospects... But we don't know where those guys get us or if Harris can fix the holes/ get better talent/ develop them better/ etc... to build us into an actual contender.

We were discussing this earlier... Specifically because it looks like he Tigers are going to end up with quite a few of them. Faedo, Holton, Brieske, Wentz, Alexander (before he left). May have more than that too, counting AAA... "Failed starters" or "middle-relievers" or "good-only-1-time-thru-the-batting-order" guys... whatever we want to call them... I'd rather have 5 starters go 5 innings (or if it's a tandem to keep innings low then Mize/Manning can alternate 5 inning starts and 4 inning "closes")... And 3 or 4 middle relievers that can go 2-3 innings, and have those guys get us to the 8th/ 9th inning 1-inning-guys rather than go through 4 or 5 relievers every single game. That drops it to 2 relievers often, 3 relievers occasionally, and more than that infrequently.

And he just passed away... Loved his acting...

This reminds me of Industrial from the late 80's: Nitzer Ebb Front 242 Front Line Assembly Ministry Nine Inch Nails... especially when Reznor really started to get into sound experimentation...

I saw them in '83 when I was at Fort Bragg... Metalhead days...

All the Young Dudes seem to be blossoming nicely...

Freakin' OUTSTANDING...!!!

And 1st downs are better than 3 plunges for 2 yards each into the line...!

Run that damn clock off!!!

The replay showed his eyes up on the ball tracking it so he didn't see Raymond's fair catch signal which... that signal was pretty minimal to be honest...

"injured while sliding awkwardly" hopefully just means a groin pull or something like that...

Yes. But... we'll take it!!!

I agree with the announcers... The ball looked like it broke the plane twice before they got backed up with that offsides... Nice goal line stand but I think they escaped there as well with some beneficial ball placement....

What happened to Lyon that he got knocked out of the game mid-2nd period...? Anyone see that...?

It looks to me like Melifonwu is having a really nice game...

Even with Stroud hurt he's already thrown for over 3,600 yards 20 TD's and 5 INT's... Hard numbers for a TE, as good as LaPorta's been... to out-glossy.

I heard of a new invention that they are calling "The Mute Button".... Anyone else heard of that?

It was. Vikings again lucky... This time with a non-flag...

In other words... Absolutely nothing.

That's what I thought... So... I don't see any reason, whatsoever, for folks to be complaining about letting him go since the Tigers didn't let him go. He player-opted out.

Chafin opted out last year. Was it a mutual option or player-only? I can't seem to find that...

The "should do well" part could have a pretty wide variation though... The high upside is if our pitching "whisperers" can really coax the max ability/ velocity/ pitchability out of him... With their track record... that's a major reason why I think Flaherty chose us and went with the 1-year bet on himself. For Detroit... It's all good, nothing but upside potential. The downside is he's a 5th starter innings eater which, as you've pointed out, we needed anyways.
