  1. I bought everything he said at the time. I think I fnally figured out it was BS when he said the same stuff about Lovullo.
  2. Yeah, it's been fun, but he just wants to declare victory and then move onto his next drama. He has no long term plan for anything.
  3. I remember that one. The Tigers got off to a strong start the first week and I was thinking: "This is going to be just like 1984". What a disappointment that turned out to be. The best one that I don't remember was Billy Bean: 4 hits, including 2 doubles just like McGonigle. I remember him doing well initially, but I don't specifically remember that game.
  4. I am not expecting much from him given his age and MLB track record. Any success he has will be considered a bonus.
  5. I hope he's more like McCovey than the others! I didn't know Billy Bean had 4 hits in his debut. I don't remember it being a huge deal at the time. He wasn't a big prospect like McGonigle, so the anticipation was not there I guess.
  6. There is no turning back for me. I dumped two ugly satellite dishes over the past two years. If I shift back to something convenient, it will be cable. By the way, speaking of baseball on tv/radio, what kind of satellite radio set up do you have? If I get it again, I want something as simple as possible.
  7. It's more expensive, but a lot easier. It wasn't seamless for me for various reasons, but much better that my roku/youtube combo. I had the combo last year too and it's hit or miss. Sometimes, the voice control gets me there fast. Other times, I go in circles.
  8. Despite all my bitching about modern TV, I appreciate what an amazing opening day that was. Historic game for McGonigle, 2 hits and a home run for Dingler, 2 hits for Keith, 6 SHO innings for Skubal. You can not ask for much more than that.
  9. That is exactly why it's so absurd. We have all this technology which allows us to watch so many games, but they've made it so hard to use.
  10. I remember when I was a kid - I could just press a button amd the game was on. Boy, that was something! No passwords or voice prompts or overlays or replays. Just press a button and start watching! Those were the days.
  11. It took me 25 minutes. They won't do anything for the rest of the game now. Sorry. I hope mlb remembers my password.
  12. Sounds like a good game though!
  13. I spent the five minutes trying find the telecast and then log-in. So far no luck. Modern TV sucks.
  14. yeah, I expect a lot of that kind of platooning. Another thing to watch for is what they do with Valdez on the mound with his extreme ground ball tendencies. I think this kind of thing can be overdone, but I mostly trust Hinch to have enough knowledge of his players to keep a balance
  15. This is the line-up I expected. As a big proponent of defense, I like having Baez in the line-up. If he hits more like 2024 than 2025, then go to another plan. Same with Meadows except you hopes it's more 2024 than 2025.
  16. George Cooney is not a ball player!
  17. McGonigle has a good face for a ballplayer.
  18. Is was refreshing listening to Mattis. Hegseth (and pretty much everyone else curently surrounding Trump) is an infant compared to him.
  19. I would say average and average has value, but impact is typically used for someone better than average.
  20. When I get something wrong it work, it tells me something like: "You are thinking about this the right way and you are very close. Here is what you did right.... You just need to make these changes...
  21. wRC+ looks at his hitting ability as a whole, so it does include power. He is 9% better than the average hitter. It is correct to say that it doesn't consider defense.
  22. Even Jason Beck said DFAing Smith was a surprise move. He hasn't questioned anything in three decades.
  23. Dylan Smith DFA per Woodberry. That is a bit surprising since I thought he was an OK prospect. I am guessing it will be a small trade for a lower level guy. I am sure Edman is going to tell me why they can't do that. 😄
  24. This must not have been ChatGPT. GPT makes me feel good about all my ideas, even my bad ones.
