  1. I think the OF situation is Grossman-Haase-Baddoo-Reyes. Other than Haase the other guys can all play more than one position, which is a great benefit to the team for now - and Harold Castro can play out there too. As far as Cameron. I am not sure how many call ups he has left before he has to go on waivers. That might be a reason they don't want to use him right now. AJ said he wasn't quite ready and maybe they don't want to waste a callup if he's not ready. This is the year he has to prove himself, and maybe they want him to do that starting at Toledo. If they call up anyone it would probably be Jake Robson first. They have a little bit of Roster Bingo they have to play to fit someone else in. I expect Zack Short to be cut from the roster as soon as Torkelson is added, I kind of expect Miguel Del Pozo and Bryan Garcia to be cut candidates too because I do think they will add one or two non-roster pitchers to the opening day squad, or maybe pick up someone cut from another team. It looks like Will Vest and Jacob Barnes are coming north. What if Alexander is really really good in his first 3 starts and then Pineda comes back? Pineda to the pen, or Manning to the minors? Oh wait, I am sure an injury will solve that dilemma first. Oh, and why the f won't it get warm? Why is it so damn grey and cold still? This is unacceptable.
  2. boy, the wheels really came off.
  3. To me, Duke, UNC, Kansas and Villanova is the most boring Final Four ever. But thank you UNC. I lived in Chapel Hill briefly in 1994 and I loved it there. Our little radio station was really starting to do well, but the station owner (incredibly nice guy) hadn't paid his taxes and the station was seized and put into the hands of a religious nut - needless to say there wasn't going to be alternative rock on his station. He fired us all and went uber right-wing religious.......the station was dark in less than a year.
  4. What's that like? Blue sky? I hear it's amazing. We don't get that here. Ever.
  5. RFK stadium has been vacant for what, a decade, and it would be better than their current pile of junk they have. There are many slimeball owners in the NFL and he's the slimiest.
  6. How the fuck is Daniel Snyder still allowed to own an NFL team? Force him out like the NBA forced out Sterling. Scandal after Scandal after Scandal, and a stadium that is literally falling apart (it's only 25 years old). Come on, man, get this bastard out. Hell, he'll make a fortune, as even the worst NFL team is worth a billion. He could sell it for 2 billion (more than double what he paid). Come on, get him out. Long overdue. He makes Irsay look like a Boy Scout. This sums up what has happened to Washington football fans in the Snyder era.
  7. Foot fracture can actually be minor, and better than a sprain or tendon injury. I fractured the side of my foot when I hit it on a furniture leg. It was barely noticeable on the x-ray and even though it hurt for a few days, I was walking fine within a week. Now, I am obviously not an athlete and I don't have to rely on running, but I was able to recover fairly quickly and didn't have to wear a boot, I just wore a special type of sandal that extended out beyond the side of my foot I wouldn't hit it again. So maybe he's back by Mid-May. Then they have him rehab in the minors and we see him in June.
  8. Well, at least we'll get an extra year of service time.
  9. The silence is concerning. And strange.
  10. He ran out a triple, stayed in the game for 10 more minutes. The walking boot is a precaution.
  11. Seriously, I totally expect to wake up and the morning and hear Broken Foot, out 4-6 months. And it's cold and grey And this all fucking sucks.
  12. It's bad. It's really bad. You guys wanna get high?
  13. Well, they got a $43 million insurance policy with one blue eye and one brown eye.
  14. He did leg out a triple and scored 3 batters later.............that makes me worry a little less.
  15. Tigers doctors say Riley Greene should be ready to play again, coincidently, right about the time his service time exception expires.
  16. Well, Cabrera is in GREAT shape this spring. Toned up in the off season. I also understand Bonderman is really developing a change up this year.
  17. Yep.....probably broken. 4-6 months out. You know, the whole "can't have nice things" thing. In other news an anvil made by the ACME company has fallen on Spencer Torkelson's head.......
  18. Great, Riley Greene - probably a career-ending injury............probably an amputation coming. We can't have nice things here. And the weather has regressed to February. Make it stop.
  19. Well played Heardle.com.................Well played. Ya got me. Much respect today.
  20. I love this video. Dude has me cracking up. PITCH CLOCK/BATTING BOX CLOCK.............PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
  21. Dont even know where they will play yet...........if the league survives to a 2nd year or even an entire 1st. The Fords own Fords Field and you can put them in a 60,000 seat venue even if they did allow it, that would be embarrassing to see 6,000 people in a place that big. . The old Tiger Stadium spot would need a huge increase in seating, but that is a candidate The field where DCFC plays is a candidate but soccer fans will throw a fit. Seems like Wayne State's football field, with some added seating would be a good candidate, and really, they are the MICHIGAN Panthers, so maybe they could play around the state, a game in Lansing, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Ypsi, Traverse City...........that might get expensive, though.
  22. I hope you're right, but I am extremely worried that as long as Chris Illitch owns this team, we're not really anything but something to do to pass the time in the Summer. And I'm even talking about the Carlos Correa thing. I think he used the Tigers and Hinch as leverage and was never coming here. Fine. There is just as much a chance that Minnesota regrets the signing than celebrates division titles. He was the best of the bunch at a position of need, but 35 million a year for that guy? I've seen his numbers and he's good, but he's not a superstar.
  23. You aren't the only one. I really didn't like their disco phase.
  24. It feels like if Torklegreene flops, we might be in the shitter for another 5-7 years. Empty suit ain't gonna really spend.
