1984Echoes

Pistons are winning BTW... at halftime. Cade not doing a whole lot either... Bey and Grant are holding the fort, and even Luke Garza is contributing.

But how long ago was he on the old forum? I vaguely remember him but wasn't that like 5 or 6 years ago?

If we're making a major push towards EV's, the SOR should be drawn down on a gradual basis.

I think he's a 15 year old. Not a retread. Limited vocabulary. Limited IQ. Spouting white trash racist memes.

FTFY: More of that BLATANT voter suppression Republicans like.

Alex Wood was a guy I wanted. After signing Eduardo though... I'm looking for a short-term signing to fill in at the back end... So I'm still not interested in Matz; who will get too many years and too much $$$. What.. he's going to take a rotation spot from Spencer Turnbull in 2023? I'm not on board. Give me Collin McHugh for 2 years, throws gas, keeps runners off the bases with a career 1.23 WHIP, and can operate either out of the BP or as a starter, similar to Alexander. McHugh can spot start/ 5th starter, or flip to the BP, as needed. But that's just me.

Isn't that illegal? Not that Trump gives a Flying F about anything illegal...

Also... If you watch Archie Bunker every single night... you will get the whole truth and nothing but the truth about how this world actually works....

Donald Trump.

Why would we be interested in Matz? We already have the exact same pitcher in Tyler Alexander.

Militant 'Merica. Locked and Loaded, like the Wild West, where EVERYONE is ready for a shootout and multiple deaths. Because... 'Merica.

That was my thought... it was a little over the top. I don't mind the toughness but... yeah.

Cade's triple double looks better if he's 3-8 from 3 rather than 1-8.

Cade needs to make a few more of those 3's that he's taking...

Stew taking on Lebron James...

Pistons bench going off again. Particularly Diallo... And Frank Jackson... again.

Why would he hang out there? It seems like an enticement would be in order... Catnip, anyone?

Especially if you're targeting Correa as your #1 option. His agent can string all these teams along trying to get that bidding war going...

I would prefer doing the opposite: No opt outs, and make the last 3 years contingent on games played. If he plays 140 game or more in year 6, or 260 games in years 5 & 6, the next year vests. If he plays less games than required, the team can buy out the last 3 years at $8mm per. So $24 Mill if the contract has become an albatross. Same conditions for each following year (and declining # of buyout years). That protects the back end of the contract against injury. The frontloading is fine... In fact, pay $35 Mill the next three years, and then decline the remaining 7. Pay less for older years. Pay less when Mize-Skubal-Manning-Tork-Greene are all under consideration for expensive contract extensions (provided they perform over the next 4 or so years as desired...). I don't want him to opt out. I want him at SS. If he slows down and gets pushed to 2B because we have some hot prospect coming up... fine by me. And if he gets injured too often... we have the last 3 years we can get out of if needed...

Well... let me rephrase what I said above: 1) Correa or BUST! 2) Well, not really. If we can't get Correa, I want Story. 3) Those guys are #1 and #2 on my list. And no one else is close. But yeah, I'll take any upgrade over our current situation, even if that means Taylor, Semien, Baez, whomever.... But I'm not really happy that we couldn't land a top 2 choice for this team. Glad for the upgrade, but disappointed in the team's chair (musical chairs) that they end up with. Until that is... whomever is playing SS for us next year gets us on a real nice winning streak because of defense and some O... But really, I'd like Correa #1. And Story #2. Those are my two "I want" guys versus the other "consolation prize" guys.

And both of those goals were short-handed? Yuck!

Well that was a disappointing ending....

That's my board too. 1) Correa 2) Story After those two... I would struggle with any other choice (happy we got a good SS but unhappy with all the peripheral/ aging/ etc... issues.) It's pretty simple for me. Correa. And if not Correa, Story.

Yes, that's what I said.
