If Verlander could even be a good 5th starter, I'd like to see him back. Other than Granderson, he was probably my favorite Tiger from that period.

If they want to get young people interested, then AOC is the way to go. College students love her.

I think he'll have to have an OPS in the high 700s to valuable without a glove. He's not there yet, but it's too early to say that he'll never get there.

Most players are that way. I don't have any problems with Verlander as a person. He doesn't hurt his teams as long as he is healthy. The problem he isn't healthy anymore.

Only if they work. Would you want Cabrera back next year now that they have legit prospects at most posiions?

The bar is low.

The Nazis figured out that he courts their vote, but doesn't really care about them. Just like he treats everybody else.

I think our tipping culture is weird.

He doesn't seem to have a problem changing eveything else about the game. I agree.

I don't want either one of them at this point. As much as I would have liked Verlander to finish his career as a Tiger, they don't need another pitcher who will spend most of the season on the IL.

I am never sure about the tip jars. I usually give them something if they are pleasant. I do not know what is expected though. Are they like waiters and waitresses who are paid low wages and are expected to make money on tips? For me, that is main reason to give tips. Thus, I always give them 20% plus to servers regardless of the quality of service. Frankly, it's often easier to order standing up rather than waiting for a waiter to to take my order and then waiting again at the end of my meal to get a bill. I appreciate the work that they do, but they aren't really performing a necessary service for me and I only pay them because they need the money. I don't eat out that much and when I do it's often because I'm in a hurry after a long day of work and I don't feel like preparing a meal. I'd rather tip the cook and dish washer.

I think it's pretty impressive that he has done what she has politically at her age against a bunch of connected and experienced old farts. She gets a lot of attention (both negative and positive) because she is young and attractive and outspoken, but I believe she is smart.

yeah, I think it's not a good idea for her to make that her number one policy issue.

Alex Avila explained that he did slide to the inside, but his hand seemed to not extend because his batting glove got stuck in the dirt, so then he reached to the outside. It was a weird slide, but it looked that way to me too.

Not obvious at this point, but if he is relegated to the bench while they evaluate the young players down the stretch, it could be a sign.

NY Times/ Siena poll Harris +5 in AZ Harris +2 in NC Trump +4 in GA Trump +1 in NV. That's the second poll this week where Harris is ahead in NC which is a state I hadn't really thought was one they could win. I don't know which polls are most accurate, but Harris has been gaining on almost every poll the last couple of weeks which is really all you can look for with the polling data at this point. https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/election

I have no idea how that clown ever got any relevance. I have him blocked.

Urshela DFA. The only remaining free agent on the roster is Shelby Miller.

I think it's due to more and more off days during the regular season.

I really hope it means that the media has finally tired of him.

Yeah, news cycles are short lived now.

True, but I was deliberately giving the shallow interpretation of her plan there. That is what we'll be hearing for days. I mean going after gross price gouging is good, but that's not the primay, secondary or tertiary reason for inflation. It seems to have low practical upside utility and high image risk.

The price gouging ban might play well to her populist base, but it opens her up to more accusations of communism. It's unrealistic and shouldn't be #1 on her economic plan.

First game on February 22? Wow, that's early.
