Is Kreidler really that good of a prospect? They've got a bunch of lower level prospects with more upside - Jung, Graham, Santanta, Pacheco, etc.

He didn't win largely because of his association with Covid. If Covid never happened, I believe he'd be President now. Most people are disgusted with Trump personally, but might think there are economic benefits to his being president. I remembers polls during his presidency showing that even a fairly large percentage of independents though he did a good job on the economy. I don't think Presidents impact the economy much, but it doesn't matter what I think.

The only tolerable Republican who has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate is Governor Sununu of NH. He is very middle of the road. His state also handled Covid about as well as any state. They were pretty strict and had low incidence and death rates despite bordering Massachusetts which was ravaged by Covid. I also loved his line about Trump: "He is not crazy enough where he would be sent to a mental institution, but if he gets in there, he's not getting out." On the negative side, NH has some of the most lenient gun laws in the country.

I make so many typos now. I think it's an age thing.

He gives 110% on every play.

If we go into a deep recession or if inflatuion is still high, it will be blamed on Biden and his opponet could win.

Musk could absolutely win if he were eligibile. Trump even more so. Triump made a fool of himself for 4 years and still got a huge number number of votes in 2020. He could also win again and I don't get the general feeling here that he couldn't. Maybe my faith in humanity is not strong enough.

We have statcast numbers now too which go beyond the boxscore, although sometimes they get over used. I agree that at some point they need good box score results or they just won't be good hitters.

I think criticism of and concern about Greene and Torkelson are warranted. Greene was OK for a rookie last year, but is bad so far this year. Torkelson has not gotten results either year. Sure, he hits the ball hard, but until he starts getting results, it is concerning.

Yes, the 9 players in the line-up all have a good chance to make significanr contributions beyond in the future. The other four really don't.

Seriously, not hearing about him every five minutes is the best part of his presidency to me.

When the starting pitcher doesn't pitch enough innings. they usually give the win to the next guy if he keeps the lead. However, they don't have to do so. It's a scorer's decision. I'd like to know how often it happens that way though because it seems pretty rare.

If inflation doesn't come down enough and we get a worse than expected recession, Biden will be blamed for it and he could be in trouble. They won't stay home because he's too old though. Educated women and young people hate Trump like no candidate ever.

Nice job by Mason Eggbert and Foley.

Torkelson hits it well again.

I see that Candace Owens is trending again. I am not going to see what it's about. I don't get the appeal of her at all. She's an idiot and an obvious phony and MAGAs talk about her like she's a genius. Is it just because she's Black and they think that they are owning the liberals because they have a Black woman on their side?

Most of the people that can do anything about it do not care because they they will always have access.

That would be a clean-up hitter for the Tigers.

I don't remember. I thought it was an abbreviation, but that could have just been what people called him.

yeah, I did wonder if QSlvr was Nate Silver. That was before Nate was famous and they were very similar. I remember Q used to debate with Jake a lot which was entertaining.

The Tigers have too many white guys who grew up in middle class suburban families and played for travel teams. They never had to work for anything. Too soft.

Cold weather does affect hitting, but the Tigers don't hit well in any weather.

He could be protecting Rogers' arm by limiting his playing time early in the year.

Interesting. My impression was that he was just an entertainer who didn't really believe all the stuff he said. What I'm reading the lst day or two suggests otherwise. I have never really watched him closesly, just clips here and there.
