  1. It looked like he belonged as a role player at the time they acquired him. He's been terrible this year, but I couldn't fault the acquistion at the time.
  2. I didn't want Castro back, but I did want Candelario. I was also OK with Maton as a role player with a chance to do more. McKinstry and Vierling have worked out so far, but not Maton.
  3. So, the Republicans were right about something.
  4. I noticed Farmer was available in my fantasy league when I needed to stream a random reliever recently. I decided against adding him because I figured he'd give up 4 runs in one inning if I did.
  5. The GOP definitely are not the ones complaining abot the electoral college. They love it!
  6. Yeah, that was one of the anecdotes, although it didn't have much of an impact on me at the time he was coaching. My interest in the history of Blacks in baseball is more recent. I don't know if he identified himself as "Black", but he surely faced all the same prejudices at the time.
  7. Ozzie Virgil was one of those guys who did nothing of value during his playing career, but I heard about him forever because he was a coach for 19 years. Because I heard his name as a coach and many anecdotes about his playing days, I thought he must have been a decent player, but accumulated negative WAR over a span of 14 years. On top of that, his son Ozzie Jr played 11 seasons and actually was decent which confused things even more.
  8. He doesn't even need to campaign. His fans adore him unconditionally.
  9. It won't matter. Trump will just call him fatty and humiliate him and if that doesn't work he'll probably have someone come up was some dirt on him. All he has to do is say that Christie is a child sex trafficker or something and his supporters will all believe him. Maybe if a large number of high profile GOP leaders find some balls and go after him relently en masse, they might start peeling away some Trump voters at the fringes. It can't be just one guy here and there.
  10. Same here in Massachusetts. I am just going to do my part in saving America from Trump.
  11. The moment I looked up his stats on B-ref and saw his high k ratios. After that, I pretty much forgot about him.
  12. Unenrolled voters can vote in either primary in Massachusetts and I intend to vote in the Republican primary for the candidate with the best chance of beating Trump and DeSantis.
  13. The Tigers signed Johan Camargo to a minor league contract. only 5 Tigers position players have a higher career WAR than Camargo.
  14. Go Detroit Tigers, Inc! Kick some Minnestota Twins, LLC ass! The Phillies definitely have the coolest legal name.
  15. I remember when everyone was using that. I know it was just slang but it never made sense to me. Pitchers don't shove the ball. They fire it. They throw smoke. Even "dealing" makes some sense because is suggests smart pitching.
  16. You almost have to have a couple of power hitters to win now. I don't think it matters what position.
  17. I think it would get lots of attention, much like Cabrera's Triple Crown. The .400 chase I remember the most is George Brett in 1980.
  18. Always draft the best player available. I personally have a strong bias for drafting hitters over pitchers with early picks, but I really doubt any GM is worried about positional value.
  19. The ignore feature would work better if there was an option to not even know when they posted. Just make them go away altogether.
  20. I told you guys that the partnership with gambling organizations was going to be a problem.
  21. It's just a way for the ruling class to control the wages of the serfs.
  22. But they've never been shutout in games in which Rogers hits a homer.
  23. Nothing is going to happen to him. He'll just get the signal that he can continue to do anything he wants and he'll do something bolder the next time. Hopefully, it will be after an election loss rather than a win.
