1984Echoes

PS: I hate the 3-4. Where's my 4-3? Then we could fit either of them on the Lions. Or better yet, both. (Obviously we can't get both but... yeah, we definitely could use both...)

The other thing is... If the Lions stick with the 3-4, Hutch may be the better fit. He'll need to add 10-20 pounds of muscle... Thibs might be caught as a 'tweener that they don't use effectively (too big for Outside LB'er and terrible in coverage, not big enough to set the edge or hold his ground in a 3-4). Maybe he'd be a situational pass-rusher in the Lions' scheme? But is that what we want at 1-1? Better hope that Hutch is the 2nd coming of J.J. Watts...

To all those preferring Baez on the shorter deal... No thank you. I'd rather Correa at 10 years/$340 mill than Baez at 5 years/ $125 mill. If it's Story I would be interested, but not Baez.

Is Greiss tending this game or is Blashill going with "Hot Hand Ned"?

Jimmy Carter's was real. Jared Kushner's was Fake. Or in MAGA-speak: FAKE NEWS.

I looked into my Magic 8-Ball and asked what Carlos Correa's next 8 years looked like and it said: "3 World Series Championships."

And as we all know, past results are not a guarantee of future results. I looked into my Magic 8-Ball and asked what does the future look like for Javy Baez in the next 5 years, and the answer was: "2nd Base = Grim."

I just learned that I am now "Experienced". I wonder what Jimi Hendrix would think of that...

Triple dogged? Or triple dog dared?

I would jump on that for Story...

But that's Archie Bunker's specialty.

That's all they have left at this point. Nothing but lies and liars.

Buffalo Sabres, 7-10-2, 2-5-1 AWAY ESPN+ 11/27 7:00 PM Detroit Red Wings, 9-9-3, 6-2-2 HOME

Story is my "Grossman" signing. I would be extremely pleased with a signing of Story as our SS for at least the next 2 years (please no "1 and done" opt-out... at least 2 years before opt-outs come into play, please...).

I don't think at 34 next year that Cobb gets the same term. A 1 or 2 year deal for him would be a nice stopgap for the Tigers...

I'll sign on to this and be thankful for the same...!

I wasn't even thinking about Eduardo... But I am hugely, pleasantly pleased that AA "salvaged" him over to the Tigers. I'm also very pleased that he salvaged Haase, Baddoo, Candelario, Grossman, and others. That bad vibe is entirely inside your head, of your own making.

I'll take a Lions win please. And Happy Thanksgiving to all...!!! (Staying home with my daughter for a quiet, uneventful day...)

Does that take park effects into account? Because Eduardo played his entire career at Fenway. He's going to get a good boost by switching over to Comerica. Matz played his career at NY Mets, and Toronto... Eduardo: avg 2.6 WAR per year, and 1.29 WHIP average prior to last year. Last year he was a bit worse (1st year he allowed more hits than innings, 1.39 WHIP instead of his 1.29-ish...). And 29 versus 31 (to start next season). He's not an ace. He's an innings eating workhorse that slots in at #3 or 4 in a rotation and provides huge stability and above average pitching. I think Matz is a more than a minor drop-off from that and, at 31 to start next year, I'll take the Eduardo deals hands-over-fist over this Matz deal.

Fabbri!!!

I'm not ready yet for that kind of self-inflicted punishment...

Shush...

Or... he just needs to step up. But... I thought Hronek was playing a bit better this year? He doesn't have that horrendous +/- he usually has... Or he's being protected somehow by Blashill....?

Maybe we just give it some more time and Suter's line starts hitting net instead of posts... But... We'll see.

Man... we need a second line center that can actually make that 2nd line workable...
