    I think they all used to "pitch to the score". It's a different game today with practically every hitter being a home run threat. It's all about maximum effort the whole game now.

    I don't agree he is only a ninth inning pitcher. His splits suggest he does well in 7th and 8th as well. If he really is a 9th inning only pitcher though, then he's not a good fit for a Hinch managed team.

    Damn, I thought it was safe to go to bed after 6 innings. I am glad I did though.

    Mize and Flaherty have a lot of blue too. The predictive value of Statcast pitching numbers is overrated. It's better than ERA, but still not that predictive. I am concerned about Verlander mostly because of his age.

    Maybe not long-term, but this year is really important and Greene, Torkelson and Carpenter need to be reasonably productive for them to have enough offense to support the pitching.

    Carpenter leading off is not a new thing. He led off in 41 games last year and batted .254 which is pretty much the same as his overall average (.252). He is definiely anusual choice to bad leadoff but I don't think that's why he hasn't hit yet.

    Trump is bored of this show. He wants to flip to a new channel.
  8. Tiger337
    I don't think Trump ever distinguishes between right and wrong. What is right to him is whatever helps himself personally. Sometimes those things might also be good for some of us, but what's good for us is not how he sees right or wrong.

    Not to get ahead of ourselves, but If they are both hitting, then let them both play. It would be a fantistic defensive outfield!

    It never got really bad. At my school, if you ignored the punks, they eventually moved onto somebody else and I never gave them the reaction they wanted. There was some good and bad in high school, but yeah I didn't miss it once I was done.

    That is my recollection. I didn't pay a lot of attention to politics back then, but he was widely criticized for his handling of the hostage situation. I also remember being mocked for looking like an Iranian. There was this big dumb kid on the wrestling team who used to yell here comes the Iranian every time he saw me and his friends thought it was hilarious.

    OK, Thanks. I am not good at distinguishing between stances and swings. I was looking at faces. Who is behind Cochrane? Is that Cabrera?
  13. Tiger337
    It was, but they got Jefrys later. I just enjoy mocking him.

    Who is the batter between Fidrych and Greenberg? I originally thought it was Horton. It's too skinny, but I thought it was maybe a weird angle. Is it Leflore?
  15. Tiger337
    He originally went to Indiana, but left because it was too far away from home and he was overwhelmed by the size of the campus.
  16. Tiger337
    Only Sheldon.
  17. Tiger337
    It was OK though. They got Greg Jeffreys (deliberately misspelled) to replace him.

    I still maintain that the rapid expansion, which diluted pitching staffs, and the introduction of juiced balls to recover from the strike were just as responsible for the offensive anomalies of that period as PEDs.

    This proves it. Half of them were there just to get their photo on Motown Forums.
  20. Tiger337
    Except that he never actually existed. 😉 Wonderful picture though.
  21. Tiger337
    I think Greenberg is already there. Heilmann is a good choice. Hal Newhouser too.
  22. Tiger337
    I agree with this. I see very few people switching from MAGA to Dem, but I can see a lot more no shows especially after Trump is no longer eligible.
  23. Tiger337
    I hope they eventually change the challenge thing to an elctronic strike zone on every pitch. If the challenges are accurate, why not just do it automatically? If they are not accurate don't use it at all. Why make a game of timing the challenges?

    So? Nobody cared about the Stormy Daniels affair. That was like a speeding ticket compared to other stuff he has done. All anybody cared about was inflation, so they voted against the "inflation party". In 2020, the voted against the "Covid party". Short memories. If they had a vote today now that Trump his displaying his abject stupidy 24/7, he would lose.
  25. Tiger337
    Yeah, I think most of them care a lot. Nobody is going to give up their free time to go to a boring protest unless it means a lot to them.
