It's great to have a system for young players, but that doesn't always work so well for vets. I guess if the vet is performing you can let him get away with certain things. If he's not, then it's a problem. Torres only wants to play second base. He's having a good season. so it's fine. It might be a problem if he wasn't.

That's something else that needs to change, but I know it won't especially not under this administration. Their only "solution" to every problem is punishing people.

Yes, I don't know how to make the determination, but there are many foods available that are pure junk. We would all be better off if they were greatly reduced as smoking has been.

To be fair, he has said that he wants to ban a lot of processed foods. I don't know what his plan is for that.

Rand Paul is a bleeding heart liberal. Don't listen to him.

I am not happy that I don't qualify for a vaccine. I have had Covid before and it was no big deal for me, but I will be teaching for the next 8 months and if I get Covid I am supposed to stay at home. That means remote teaching for a week which isn't good. The lecture is OK, but doing computer labs in breakout rooms is not a good way to learn.

Because the military never makes a mistake.

The number of people with diabetes has doubled (surprisingly he got that right), but that is a little misleading. Some of it is because we are now better able to diagnose and treat diabetes and also because because people are living longer in general. It is a big problem though which brings us to your point about his funding cuts for diabetes research.

Galarraga is short sighted. The current administration is awful.

Can you prove that they were all drug smugglers, adults and willing participants? It's not about one incident though. It's the principle. We have a convicted felon in the oval office because there are too many scared bigoted people in this country who believe everything he tells them. The fact is undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes than native born Americans. Yes, we need to arrest and punish violators, but I don't want us diverting resources from more pressing matters.

Whether or not someone gets the death penalty also requires due process. The only way this incident can be justified is if they knew for certain that this group was an immediate threat to lives of Americans. Possession of drugs or trying to get people into the country illegally is not justification for this.

I don't defend criminals. I want due process for all. I also don't want my tax dollars wasted on a Trump tough guy show which is what most of this is about.

Flaherty is not likely to get 20 million but he got 14 million from the Tigers in 2024 and he is probably worth a little more now than he was then. He might be able to get a worthwhile two-year deal somewhere. I agree that he probably won't opt out though unless he surges down the stretch and in the playoffs.

Only if they are brown and/or poor.

I also don't care for Scales for the same reasons. His commentary is fine but I find his voice to be a distraction.

I think the hoax theory isn't going to work for him since his supporters and those around him are the ones who pushed the story the hardest. Connecting the dots, I think there is a good chance he was involved in some horrible things. At the very least, I think he knew what was happening and is covering it up. I also think we'll never know what happened. Wealthy powerful people pretty much always get away with everything. Even if the women revealed names, they'd be called liars and maybe intimidated or bribed into changing their stories. Keeping the story in the news and hurting Trump politically and legacy-wise is probably the maximun we could hope for.

I believe Meadows in centerfield and Baez playing more shortstop would help the pitching staff.

Right, that is the only good part. But how long will it last? The talk died for a few weeks until today.

Oh know, Tigeraholic had the same exact thought. 😲

As expected.

He makes everyone on the team a better player.

Skubal has the big strikeout total and the low ERA and all the fancy advanced stats, but Mize has something he doesn't. He just knows how to win AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T TEACH.

The great thing about that is that they were all complete game shutouts.

I agree. If you want to honor a player who has retired, just have a day for him. The Tigers signed Al Cicotte to a six-day contract in 1977 long after he retired, so he could qualify for a pension. He was in poor health and was having financial problems. In that case, it was a nice gesture.
