That's a pretty silly stat considering that she lost. The recent high vote totals don't indicate popularity. A lot of people have voted in the last two elections because of mail-in voting.

I just think the imitation up Trump thing is kind of lame. That isn't going to work. Clinton actually was slick whereas I think Newsome tries too hard.

He's hitting pretty well right now. I just looked him up and was surprised by his numbers.

The betting markets are heavily favoring Newsome. I hope not. He seems very unserious. They need somebody who will run on something other than anti-Trump. That's the mistake Harris made.

I think Hinch will do lot of rotating - Perez, Vierling, Baez. Baez's numbers are surprisingly good this year. He might be primed for another good half season like last year. Or not. You never know what you'll get from him.

Very good and he might be able to hit as well as Meadows even he has rookie struggles. I have no idea if they think he's ready. I know he's off to a hot start, but he seemed to be struggling this Spring.

I'll still be your friend!

Meadows gets a lot of criticism, but they'll miss his defense. The Meadows brothers sure do have a lot of bad luck.

That does not surprise. He performed well for the first three years, but I never got the impression that he really liked playing for the Tigers. He seemed to be disrespectful of Trammell which definitely turned me off. I don't like to say this about players, but he appeared to quit on the team at times.

Valdez was 8th in the MLB in FanGraphs WAR and 10th in xFIP from 23-25. He was a very significant signing by the Tigers

Not as good as Phillips.

Yes, I don't like small sample sizes. The pitching should get better. I just see everyone blaming the offense and I think the slow start from the pitching staff and sloppy defense is the bigger problem. I think the hitting will a little better in terms of power but they aren't going to win the division with offense. It is going to have to be pitching.

I always assumed the bankers were part of the Big Club! I don't really know though.

What statistic are you using to say that the Tigers pitching staff is near the top of the league? They are right around 20th on the major pitching metrics. Yes, they should be better, but they are not so far. They NEED to be near the top of the league and they are instead closer to the bottom. Perez has never boosted an offense by himself. He's a fourth outfielder.

Political parties are always on campaigns of disinformatilon. That is what they do! The right is taking it to a whole other scary level. The problem is when the left does it now (like all the Catholic persecution stuff) the right is going to point to them and use it to justify all the lies of the right.

Right, Fielder was a good home run hitter, but he got more credit than he should have for all his RBI. Whitaker and Phillips were on base all the time.

The Phillips/Tettleton/Fielder era was when I was really starting to get into sabermetrics and I saw how underrated Phillips and Tettleton were compared to Fielder. Nobody cared about Phillps's on base skills or defensive versatilty. He should have been playing today.

Phillips was overshadowed by Fielder, but Phillips was a better player. After Fielder's first year with the Tigers, Bill James said he was overrated - just a big fat guy that hit homers and struck out a lot and he'd never repeat his 1990 season. That made me angry at the time, but it turned out to be right. Tettleton was better too (although not a free agent)

I honestly don't know how it all works, but it's been pretty clear to me for a long time that the wealthiest people on the planet control everything. All the money goes to them eventually and they control with their wealth. I know they don't give a **** about the rest of us, but I also figure that their lives will be a lot less satisfying and safe if the world goes to hell. They will do what they can to make sure that doesn't happen. That's not a nice thing to be banking on (pun intended) but it helps keep me sane.

I was at school living in a dorm with no tv and very poor radio reception. I was talking to my father on the phone and he told me what Gammons had said about Phillips. They also signed Moseby that same week. I knew they would both starting for the Tigers, but I had no idea how good Phillips would be. They also signed Fielder later in the off-season. The next year they traded for Tettleton. That was an amazing group of acquisitions in a short time. Too bad they had no pitching.

The Tigers offense is not great, but they are a lot closer to performing at their expectation as a group than their pitching. Their pitching was supposed to be a top five staff in baseball and it's been crap, yet all I see is people complaning about the bats. Wenceel Perez is not going to fix their staff.

Phillips and Zimmermann.

You growed up.

Nobody is saying it's on the same scale.

7 days, but he is appealing. I acquired him for my fantasy team shortly before he charged the mound.
