I was just reading about him and he sounds like a Democrat - environmentalist, indigenous rights, etc. It's just the anti-vax thing that doesn't fit

I wouldn't be so hard on Cabrera if it was one bad year after a great career, but he's been a replacement level career for 7 years (after a great career). Like I said, I understand why he has to play, but I am not enjoying it.

I had assumed Kennedy was a Republican because of his anti-vax stance. Can't they get some candidates that aren't either ancient or nut jobs or both?

They would be giving 350 at bats of experience to players who who might be able to help them in the future. They would find out more about their young players for their future planning. I understand why he has to be play, but I'm not going to pretend it doesn't matter.

I think it's being done out of respect more than marketing. Even if they were a contender, they'd be stuck with him.

I don't know how serious these crimes are to students of law, but the fact that he is a former president running for office again has nothing to do with whether or not he should be prosecuted. We are supposed to be equal before the law. Of course, we aren't. This clown is still getting secret service protection, living a life of luxury and collecting millions in "campaign funds" while spouting anti-American BS like "defunding the FBI and DOJ"

What matters is that the Tigers won the series!

Unless there wave been recent updates, I don't think WAR takes base out state into consideration. You could get that if you plugged WPA into the formula as the offensive component.

So, is Weismann suggesting that Trump is not being a proper mob boss?

The Clintons have been planning it for years.

I wish I could share your optimism, but I still expect him to get away with everything as he has his entire life. My only hope is that everyone gets so sick of hearing about him that he can't win the election.

Just a typical day in New York City! MGT couldn't handle it for 3 minutes.

I have always wondered whether being streaky decreases value. I don't know it's been researched. Crudely, let's say player A is a 6-WAR player. He is 3-WAR in April and 3-WAR in July and is replacement level the rest of the year. Player B is 6-WAR, but he is 1 WAR each month. Which one has more value? Is it about timing? If player A gets hot when the team happens to be involved in a lot of close games, then his hot streaks will become more valuable than his WAR suggests. On the other hand, he may get hot during blowouts.

Trump isn't the first. President Ulysses Grant was arrested for speeding...in a horse drawn carriage https://www.npr.org/2023/03/31/1167321065/first-president-arrested-trump-grant

Vierling has not hit right handers well so far, but I am in favor of giving more at bats to anyone who shows a pulse on this team.

Too quick to jump the gun on McKinstry in what way? Are you seeing him as a prospective starter or utility player? I think he's fine in the utility role, but I am not seeing anything in the numbers that excites me and he's going to be 28 this month.

I agree with that.

Good game, but I don't watch extra inning games. Good luck Tigers!

While I generally agree with Mary Trump, I don't really trust her. I think she is still upset because her father (Dump's brother) didn't get any money when Trump Sr died. I read her book and the whole family sounds miserable. It sounds like they all hate each other. But MTG is a creep and Stahl is an opportunist, so whatever.

This is my thought as well.

I think they lack talent and are loaded with question marks. If anything, I might argue that the organization has gotten a lot out of their pitching staff, especially the bullpen, the last two years.

yes, the 7-year farewell tour is coming to and end.

The Tigers offense is always bad when there is a delay.
