Lolich didn't have a great season until the World Series. The offense played a big role in them getting to the series. They led the league in runs scored and home runs. The second place team in home runs was 50 behind the Tigers! The 84 team had Whitaker, Trammell, Lemon , Parrish, Gibson and led the league in runs scored and home runs. Those were two great teams with great balance between hitting and pitching.

I have not done anything complicated with a Mac. I mostly don't like them because finding files is not intuitive and they don't work well with Stata (which is what I teach).

I have also never had an Apple. I have had to learn how to use their crappy interface in helping students program and I am glad I've never had one.

Trump already bankrupted his along with six companies and somebody bails him out every time. So, tired of all these jerks.

Trump didn't write that. It doesn't sound like him at all.

NO WAY YOU CAN TRADE JACOB TURNER HE IS UNTOUCHABLE IF THEY TRADE HIM I AM THROUGH WITH THIS TEAM

If Archie was there, he could have killed the guy with one bullet. He is so much better than a policeman and professional security guard.

There are also trades and international signings. There are lots of different ways to build and I prefer a balanced approach, but I would lean towards position players as the foundation.

Always take the best player available. If it's close go with the hitter. e.g Mayer over Jobe. I would rather see them draft top position players along with lots of pitching depth.

I dont wear a mask anymore unless I have to. I like that the social distancing where whever possible you leave 6 ft between you and others is still being practiced. I hope that stays around permamently.

The devil we know.

That is how I would do it. A lot of people say the opposite, but I think building around pitching has too high a probably of leading to heart ache.

I think the best way to have a consistent contender is to build around position players long-term and build pitching for the short-term hoping it all comes together one year.

If pitchers are ready, you bring them up BEFORE they get hurt. Never work about team years of control with pitchers.

Put together a Tigers all-time allstar team and the hitting is pretty impressive, the pitching not so much.

The 68 and 84 teams were not pitching centric. They were very well balanced home grown teams with strong pitching and offense. You say that the pitching came together in 68 which may be true, although Lolich certainly didn't have his best year. Their hitting also came together with several hitters having their best seasons. The Dombrowski era teams were indeed pitching centric. The only hitting centric team that failed to win was the early 90s team and they were at least entertaining. The Tigers usually fail when they are re-building with neither good offense or pitching which has been far too often.

I can debate most topics and see some point on the other side, but letting 2A go as far as it has is a mistake we have made as a country.

yes, but that's not the point. The rest of your post was just NRA propaganda.

I don't give a shit what conservatives call it. It is what it is.

That is the only conspiracy theory I believe in!

I have no problem with hunting or people keeping a gun in their house for protection. I am opposed to people collecting dozens of powerful guns and carrying them around wherever they go.

Isn't that why you come here?

In the old days, they had no surgeries to fix arms. Guys would get sore arms, maybe rest for a while, then try to pitch through it and eventually disappear. You wouldn't hear about it so much because they didn't have anyway to fix it. It probably seems like guys get hurt more because so many get TJ surgery.

Oh, I see why Archie is upset. The shooter is a right wing extremist with views simiar to Tucker Carlson. Must pivot to abortion.

Biden is not a liberal.
