  1. Garrett Hill is old (26), was a 26th rounder and doesn't throw that hard, but he continues to put up good numbers at each level. His 14.6 k/9ip rate in AA this year is very impressive. I imagine he's a future reliever, but could he be a late bloomer?
  2. You are getting closer now. If you take 27 year old Neifi Perez's defense and 39 year old Sheffield's offense, you get something closer to 29-year old Javier Baez.
  3. And he enjoys the response he is getting.
  4. You said you thought he was like Neifi Perez as soon as they signed him. Since you don't care what anybody did before they came to the Tigers, did you also think that Correa, Seager and Story were just like Neifi Perez?
  5. You absolutely have that right and we have the right to say that your point of view on this issue is terrible.
  6. I get the feeling that Useful Idiot is a poster from the old site who is messing with us.
  7. He's already proved it his whole career. He has had five seasons that were better than any season Perez ever had.
  8. I was not a big fan of Baez when looking at the free agent list last fall, but to compare him to Neifi Perez makes no sense at all.
  9. If MLB wanted to make the regular season more interesting for losing teams, they could do this! It's a lot more exciting than a lottery pick or seeing how much money your favorite team can save. Yeah, I know we don't know how to do that in America and it will never happen.
  10. Skubal, Faedo and Peralta get regular starts. Then you have two bullpen games where 3 pitchers pitch 3 innings apiece. Isn't this where baseball is headed anyway? That's what the Rays might do in this situation.
  11. I know. They are now down only 7% for the year, although they are doing poorly again today.
  12. Not all churches are scams. Churches are like other businesses. Some are good. Some are scams.
  13. That is probably the most cynical view of treligion I have ever heard! I don't think religion began with that intention, but there is no doubt that rich expolit it to take advantage of the poor.
  14. The consumer staples sector fund (VDC) got crushed yesterday, more than 6% loss. I started investing in that fund in Februrary because consumer staples as a group tend not to have big highs and lows. It had been working great up until yesterday.
  15. The problem is when that certain group of people includes politicians.
  16. That's not how it works in cowboy movies.
  17. Jim Adduci shaking his head. The key is not to get caught. https://nypost.com/2022/05/18/yankees-cut-prospect-jake-sanford-for-allegedly-stealing-equipment/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&sr_share=twitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPSportsTwitter "According to a source, the 24-year-old outfielder was released last week after a team investigation found Sanford had stolen from teammates, including equipment that he would then try to sell online, as first reported by NJ Advance Media. Additionally, a source said Sanford, who played college baseball at Western Kentucky, also accepted money from prospective buyers for the equipment then failed to deliver the products. "
  18. Yeah, not everyone has the time or resources or knows how to interpret journal articles the right way. That's why most people should find a doctor that they trust and ask him/her.
  19. Based on what I have read, I am not confident that Ivermectin is effective for Covid. I am confident that the vaccines are generally effective in protecting you from getting really sick and that side effects are rare. So, that's what I took. However If people are afraid of the vaccines and they think Ivermectin might work and they know enough not to overdose, let them do it I guess. I recommend that most people take the vaccine, but I'm also not in favor of mandates.
  20. That's the thing about journal articles. You can trust them, on average, more than the media or some podcast, but there are still a lot of bad ones out there. You can't just take one and point to it as evidence. You need to look at all the evidence from all the studies and make decisions based on that.
  21. Moderate certainty evidence= "We are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different" That's better than "no evidence", but I'd like to see more than that especially when other studies are showing no evidence.
