  1. Yep, Meadows seems to have hit his fair share of long fly balls that would've been HRs under the old ball which makes me wonder if the Rays realized that a bunch of his HRs were aided by the rabbit ball and wouldn't translate to the new ball.
  2. It's frustrating as hell but short of making small moves like calling up Clemens I really don't know what we can do. Yeah we could fire Avila but that isn't going to fix the team right now. Aside from Skubal any of our potential trade assets we'd be selling low so we can't do that, really it seems all we can do is just ride it out and hope that the guys start hitting.
  3. Wentz down Jason Foley up according to Beck.
  4. We got to play at Lambeau early last year but it seems like that was the outlier, if feels like it's always at the end of the season and this coming year is no exception.
  5. I can't believe I'm saying this but Reyes hit a bomb today in his rehab assignment, maybe he can provide a spark when he comes back.
  6. It was only 85 degrees today, don't worry once it gets into the 100s the guys will start hitting.
  7. Barring a little 9th inning rally this will be the 7th time in our last 14 games we've scored 1 run or less, plus another 4 times we scored only 2 runs so in total 11 out of the last 14 we've could've had prime Koufax on the mound and chances are we would've lost or best case went to extra innings.
  8. I always got a kick out of how George Blaha would say Chicago, he'd pronounce like Chi-caw-go or sometimes even Chi-call-go.
  9. Also its not uncommon for even the best prospects to struggle out of the gate in the big leagues. Iirc Trout didnt exactly light the world on fire in his first stint in 2011.
  10. Nate maybe remembered more as a Viking but I think he sees himself as a Lion cause he would often openly cheer for them and say things like "my Lions".
  11. Gotta wonder if part of that is to just entertain the crowd that stuck around in the blowout or to lighten the mood for the team that just got blownout cause like others have said with all the pitchers teams carry nowadays youd think it they wouldn't need to do that except for the most extreme and rare exceptions.
  12. In a year where offense is way down Mike Trout hit 2 more HRs today to give him 9 on the year and raised his OPS to about 1.200. The greatest player of this generation just keeps getting better and finally for him it appears the Angels are too, the win today moves them to 21-12 on the season.
  13. If there is one good thing to come so far from this dumpster fire of a season is seeing guys like Brieske and Faedo look half way decent up here. Its only been like a handful of starts between them so tiny sample size but if they do turn out to be legit mid level starters that could be big for us. That could allow to perhaps trade a Mize and/or Manning for a bat if/when they regain their trade value.
  14. Yup, 37 million a year for probably 20 games a year so damn near 2 million a game. Im pretty sure that's more than most Americans will make in their lifetimes.
  15. Meadows seemingly has had a few of those type of balls this year. I have a feeling he's gonna start a little HR hot streak coming up.
  16. The As are getting shutout cause the Comerica scoreboard is prepared to have a bunch of zeroes for the home team.
  17. Somebody needs to do a wellness check on Montas and the rest of the As pitchers for atleast the next couple days. Giving up runs to this team is the type of thing that makes you question your existence.
  18. OSU got a commitment from 2024 5* and number 1 qb overall Dylan Raiola. And yes that is former Lions Dominic Railoa's son.
  19. Clicked on the mlb app and saw the 2 next to our name and I instantly heard Al Michaels scream "Do you believe in miracles....yes!"
  20. Id say he is our only chance!
  21. Brady signed a 10 year 375 million dollar deal with Fox to call games once he retires. Just insane! Of course at the rate he is going that may be 20 years from now so the money may not seem as crazy.
  22. Find you somebody that loves you the way Al and AJ love Willi.
  23. Is the over/ under on hits really only 4.5? Lol if so that is crazy.
  24. Ive heard that it can be more difficult gauging flyballs in mlb parks due to the upper levels of seating so maybe Ill give him some leeway there but still it baffles me how a big league player isn't capable of tracking flyballs correctly. I only played through HS and by JV level virtually everybody I played with or against could do it, by Varsity you very rarely ever seen somebody not track one right yet a major leaguer who is supposed to be the best of the best can't do it. It's crazy to me.
