Probably. I usually listen on the radio and when I watch on TV, I often have the sound down or I jump around from game to game. Plus, I rarely watch the Tigers feed.

Not surprisingly, it was a commercial for some gambling casino.

I just turned on the Blue Jays game for a minute and they showed a commercial in the middle of an at bat? They are losing me man.

That could very well be. There are varying degrees of anxiety, but when you are a professional athlete, I would think that even periodic episodes of anxiety could throw off your performance to the point where you can't do your job. I think most jobs are not quite like that.

I have a loose fibula on which I've been running for 20 years. Just rub some dirt on it.

Getting Trump out of there was addition by subtraction. He was the worst President and human being of my lifetime and it's not even close.

I do think a certain percentage of people who voted against him before could stay home this time. They voted for Biden and things got no better for them, so they'll just throw up their hands and say they they all suck, so why bother.

Why not?

Trump could very easily win again. I don't think it's even a longshot.

That's because all you do is watch the mainstream media. They don't give you the real news.

I have the same (over?)reaction. Is he going to be one of those players who gets injured every year?

I would be willing to take the loss on the plan for a period of time. It is hard to go off track record with Baddoo, because he has had an unusual development path and may not have had a fair opportunity to learn to hit lefties. I also am wiling to accept that, through analysis and scouting, they have already identified him as someone who is not likely to reduce his platoon split.

The Rays have had remarkable success doing what they do with a limited payroll. Have other teams had sustained success operating like them? Do they operate that way to save money or because it works better than the traditional way? I'd love to see the Tigers manage their roster the Sparky way, but I am leery of them imitating the extreme model of the Rays.

Platoons are great. That's what I grew up with and it wasn't just Sparky Anderson. Earl Weaver was famous for platoons too and it seems that many teams had a platoon or two going on. It would work better if they expanded rosters while keeping the 13 pitcher requirement. It is easier to platoon with 15 players than 13. Is their proof that giving players reps helps eliminate platoon splits? Platoons aside, young players often get better with reps so it would stand to reason that some players could get better from the side of the plate that gives them trouble. I imagine it's a coaching/scouting thing where an experienced eye is able to identify which ones can and can't overcome the splits.

You have to ask yourself if they are doing something wrong.

Monroe is horrible. He is like a parody of an over excited analyst homer.

The reason is he hasn't hit them. He is still young though, so it would good to see if he can figure them out. Or have they given up already?

Marisnick used to be a good field no hit outfielder. I don't think he does much of either anymore. He was getting on base for Charlotte at least.

I said I HOPE he is not out long. I always expect something bad when a pitcher gets injured. The latest doesn't sound good.

The Tigers have been playing well, but they don't have the kind of roster that can overcome injuries. Hopefully, the Rodriguez injury doesn't keep him out long.

I have heard it called the Texas of Canada. I don't know that it has a terrible reputation, but I was surprised to see them #1 on this list.

Yes, that too. It was a very poor AI depiction.

You are thinking too much! They have to use guys like Ibanez because they suck and nobody good wants to play in Detroit but they can't drop him because it will make it look like an unattractive place to play!

****Alberta. Where the **** is that? We are way more ******* developed than ******* Alberta.

They look a lot tougher than the real Tigers.
