If Sweeney is capable as the LH'ed starter at SS in 2025... Than Baez can be the short side of a platoon and a defensive replacement, if needed. He can also play other positions, so he could conceivably end up as a utility guy in 2025. A very expensive one though. But I'd rather they move on and look to the future. The exact same position can be filled by Kreidler or Workman, just to see if one of them can stick. But they'd have to be good enough defensively at SS, and I don't know if Kreidler is, or if Workman is ready for MLB just yet... I'm just sayin'...

Same with CJ Weins, the pitcher we got from the Red Sox for Trey Wingenter. PS: 1 inning tonight... nothing except 2 K's.

I think the Tigers stealing a Wild Card spot this year would be crazy exciting...! We weren't even dreaming of this a couple weeks ago... And now... All of a sudden...? Heck... YEAH!!!

Sweeney in September: 1.013 OPS 😁

Walker Buehler could be next year's Flaherty. At least I believe he's a FA this year? And Flaherty could easily be in his ear: "Dude, go to Detroit for a year! I swear to you!"

SO many encouraging signs for 2025!!! This offseason will be SO closely watched!!!

They also have a reliever who misses bats nicely in Andrew Nardi so I would chase those two guys together from the Marlins.

So... You're projecting only your LOCAL knowledge, and LOCAL ONLY... onto the entire nation. Much, much, much, too narrow-minded to be actually making a valid point. Sorry but... wrong answer.

I would prefer to see that 90-60 Dems versus 80-70...

I don't see how this could be "net neutral" or "net negative". Dem's could give a rat's ass what **** Cheney says. Right-leaning Indies and the few responsible Republicans left in America will think "Damn! Cheney? I guess it IS OK to vote for Harris this cycle. Hmmm... Maybe it IS important to preserve our Democracy after all...!" I see no possibility whatsoever that this is "neutral" or "negative". Why would you think this?

Or... to put it more bluntly: You're a sideshow at this point.

Side show. Nothing but a sideshow at this point.

At 13 right now we don't have a "0" chance at a top 6 pick... it's actually roughly 8% per TJ's chart... Not that I'm counting on that or anything...

Which SUCKS for us... Twice!

This was what I remember most about him... A splitter yes and a 98 mph FB yes but the constant drumbeat was about his insane command. 84 = SUCKER!!! (Or sucked in?) But I'm with papa... I'm still hoping there's a mid-rotation guy in there somewhere. I think 2025 will be the final judgement year on what exactly we got with him...

Jobe is going to be on the Opening Day roster 2025. Book it.

DAMMIT! This team is FUN!!! Forget the record this year... or for the remaining month. Forget all the growing pains and learning curves still yet to come... This team is FUN! Right NOW!!!

I was BEGGING to SHORT this stock when it went over $70, but the message I got was: "Shares not available to short sale". Damn. Has it gone under a $1 yet? That's it's true value. As close to $0 as is possible.

Why? Trump looks WORSE!!! (I know what you're saying though... They need to put Nikki's numbers up there. That would definitely cause a Trump Kneejerk Reaction...!)

So... Since we're into the final stretch here (last month, plus a few games in October...) We're sitting at 14th. We could conceivably move up several spots in the draft, or we could fall even further, although I don't believe we're falling any farther than the 18th spot... and that's if we continue winning apace... I'm pretty certain everyone here would prefer to continue winning so... (right? RIGHT?!) Since this is the "Last Chance Saloon", hopefully from here on out we're picking no earlier than the low 20's, starting next year... Let's see if that works for us. PS: At the lower lottery spots (12-18 range) ... how high exactly do we have a realistic chance of moving up to? Just wondering...

Hmmmm... Why did Jobe get pulled at less than 2 innings? 47 pitches... is he on a 50-pitch count per game limit for the rest of the season...?

First game is 10 days away... That week, prior to gameday when they set their roster for that game... THAT's when they will decide WHICH X-receiver will be called up as the 5th WR... It WILL be one of them (I'm just guessing here... but I firmly believe on gameday it'll be 5 WR's and they're just biding time until they need to make that decision...), IMO. My guess is Allen Robinson will start off as the gameday X. Veteran, should pick up the play book quickly. They only need him as a blocking WR and as a dump-off for a few passes and maybe a 1st down or end-zone "my WR is bigger than your 5'8" CB" catch or two. I'm confidant AR II can do what's needed as a stopgap. Is DPJ injured, or hiding an injury? Why was he so ineffective in the preseason games? He, actually, STILL has a shot with this team/ coaching staff...? Things that make me go hmmm, I have to think about that! I think Tim Patrick, once he gets up to playbook and Goff-is-comfy-with-him speed will be the guy. But if I'm thinking about it... that's why we still have DPJ and signed AR II. If Patrick gets nicked up again, for one game or many, these two are fallback options.

It should be under a $1. It's a Penny Stock. Nothing more. Completely worthless. As is the company. As is the namesake.

I was looking St. Clair Shores, Harrison Township, and Chesterfield... That's pretty much going northwards from Grosse Pointe... So I'm going to need to keep my radar on high to distinguish friend from fascist... yes? PS: Isn't Shelby on the west side of Michigan? My dad had 20 acres near Hart/ Shelby where we did camping and deer hunting... Went to Lake Michigan beaches (Ludington) and Silver Lake Sand Dunes a lot as a kid...
