  1. Manfred will love this because Americans love brackets!!! This is not a farfetched plan at all. It's inevitable.
  2. The slogan makes it sound like he shoots babies.
  3. Zach Short was not a good fielder for the Tigers last year. The Tigers should bring up Kreidler when the feel he is ready. They shouldn't bring him up because Schoop is in a slump.
  4. Extrapolation of past stats is not perfect, but it works better than pulling stuff out of your rear.
  5. There you go again! I've heard all this before.
  6. Over the past 25 years on the internet, I have heard every possible anti baseball stat argument there is. Don't waste your time. You guys lost.
  7. I haven't watched it for years. I watched it for a while when I heard how bad it was. I figured it was an exaggeration, but it wasjust as bad as advertised. It sounded like a parody, except it wasn't.
  8. You still can't expect it. But they did it.
  9. Shep thought it was Neifi Perez.
  10. I am probably late to the party, but I just learned that Lenny Faedo - a crappy utility infielder for the early 80s Twins - is Alex's uncle.
  11. I understand what you are saying, but I think Martinez was signed the second time because Mike Ilitch liked him and he wasn't necessarily going to spend the money elsewhere.
  12. Yup, there are jokes that are totally OK among friends that don't work for outsiders and this seems like one of them.
  13. Expansion teams usually annoy me for several years, but for some reason I accepted the Blue Jays pretty quickly. I still don't like the Mariners.
  14. Also, Kreidler is still injured. He may be back sooner than expected, but even then he'll need to play some games before they consider promoting him.
  15. I'd rather see Schoop's strong defense at second over any of the alternatives. Their offense is terrible and the pitching is shot, but having strong defense up the middle at least gives their pitching staff a chance.
  16. But that's not the fan's problem. As a fan, I hope the Tigers will increase their budget, so when I see them trying to cut costs I view it as a negative. Regardless, performance bonuses are in the budget.
  17. I think he was talking about bringing anti-racism to the next level, but it was an odd thing to say. Still, Donaldson probably wasn't the right person to throw it back at him.
  18. The only other time was the epic battle between the Underwood brothers. That is a game I'll never forget. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TOR197905310.shtml
  19. I definitely agree with that, but I think Tenacious was just kidding.
  20. They also need his defense. He leads the league in Outs Above Average: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/outs_above_average
  21. It probably depends on the context, but it sounds like both of them are just dumb players, so who cares? The woke sabers on my feed are freaking out over it. There is a lot of racism in this country and people are getting more open about it, but this incident is not worth getting upset about.
  22. He was playing APBA, but he injured his elbow rolling the dice.
  23. Yes, he does report before others do sometimes especially with regards to the minor leagues. It is just sometimes difficult to distinguish between his factual reporting and opinion.
