Right, it all started with big pharma and physicians way over prescibing opioids. They got everyone addicted and that created a huge market. If the Mexican cartels get defeated, then people in the US will step in and profit from the addiction and you can bet that big pharma will be right there. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try to stop the cartels from getting drugs up here. It just means that it won't solve the crisis.

Seattle and Tampa Bay have worse BP factors than Detroit and both were able to score runs last year. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/statcast-park-factors?type=year&year=2023&batSide=&stat=index_wOBA&condition=All&rolling=&sort=3&sortDir=desc

What is the real reason wealthy dudes want to break up NATO? I know it's not some America First BS.

I think if they find a cheap shortstop who is better than Baez, they'll replace him. I can't see them replacing him with Kreidler who hasn't hit at all in the majors, wasn't even that great even in the minors and is 26.

They may seem like a part of the decision if they agree with the behind the scenes analysis

I'd rather see Kreidler at SS than Baez just because I don't like them being stuck with Baez for four years. However, I have no more confidnce in Kreidler than I do in Baez as a regular over a full season.

They should have offered him MotorCityCasino.

How is anyone going to take them seriously if they forbid gambling and promote it at the same time? Let's see if they make a serious investigation of Ohtani or just sweep it under the rug to protect themselves. How do you take them seriously if they do that? They have done a good job punishing wife beaters and sexual predators, but that's only because they don't profit off those activities.

yes, We go through this every year. The Spring stats will be forgotten by the end of the first inning of opening day. There is reason to be concerned about the offense, but it's not because of sprining training performance.

So, Butthead is the smart one?

That works and MTG is butthead.

I used to be dead set against Rose going into the Hall of Fame. Given, how incredibly hypocritical MLB is about gambling though, I really don't care anymore about whether he gets in or not.

I am always skeptical of thst sort of thing, but the team talked about him that when he was in Boston.

Come on mtutiger, enough with your sensible analysis. Let's hear a specific bold prediction.

Kenta Maeda will lead Tigers pitchers in WAR

All Scott Harris.

It sucks having Baez on the roster the next four years, but Kreidler has a .429 career OPS so far. His upside is probably utility infielder.

You didn't like Matt Anderson and Eric Munson?

Randy Smith, for one, found it very hard to find success with high draft picks.

Bringing Olson north is the right move. He pitched better than Manning last year. I felt it was between Mize and Manning all along. They will all be needed eventually.

Same here. There is no wiggle room at all.

So, they are allowed to keep the documents forever? As I said before, it is very obvious that the lower level people don't have access to these documents. I (and I think eswieg) was arguing that they have access to other documents which they are are not allow to share or maintain and probably have less leeway than higher level people.

Who was Avila's choice?

So, if it wasn't for Trump, they probably would still have them now. I am in no way comparing them to Trump. I am just saying that they broke rules that lower level people probably wouldn't have gotten away with.

I dislike and distrust Trump so much, I consider Pence more on my side than Trump's side.
