Kind of like the other Zach they just acquired!

I was hoping he would make it, but what you you say makes sense. They may have messed up his development a bit because of Rule 5.

NSFW because of the language , but spot on.

Was he talking about Trump Jr?

There might be a lot of traveling by the time Harris is done this week!

This may have been discussed already, but why are the Tigers done with Spring training so early? Some teams are playing through Tuesday which is typical of past springs.

Might as well ban toilet paper as well. Why should I pay for your toilet paper with my tax dollars? Bring your own toilet paper. If you forget to bring it, then you'll just have to hold it in until you get home.

I also am not making the assumption that either Baddoo or Carpenter is going to start the season in Toledo. One or more of the outfielders is likely going to DH frequently, so five outfielders isn't too many. Vierling or Schoop can back up at the corners in an emergency and if there is an injury, they can shuttle someone from Toledo.

I don't know how many Republicans were there, but the room wasn't empty.

I don't think there are many fans that still think that Cabrera is going to do exciting things at this point. He has been ineffective for a long time.

To be fair, Trump couldn't hit. He batted .138 in 9 known games: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-baseball_n_5eb225ccc5b62b850f9406ec

With Lorenzon on the IL and Vest optioned, it appears that Wingenter and Shreve will be heading north.

I played APBA as a kid. I tried to complete the full 1973 for every team, keeping box scores of each game and aggregating stats by hand. After a few years, I made it to early September. I have thought many times about finishing the season but have never gotten around to it. I still have the game and the stats in my cellar. I did finish the 1970 NFL season which of course was a lot fewer games than a full MLB season.

Nothing wrong with a tie. It's better than putting free runners on base.

Finally a relevant post by Smuggles. I mean we all know he's 100% guilty of countless crimes, but he's too wealthy and powerful to be arrested

I would bet that wins and losses mean a lot to players

I wasn't realy joking. Cabrera was a legend for 9 years which was a lot of fun. He's been an old out of shape replacement level DH for 6 years which is frustrating.

True, which is why Cabrera does block players. I'd rather see Meadows/Carpenter get the DH at bats and have an extra outfielder for roster flexibility.

They wouldn't be different, but their lives would be easier.

Show some respect. He needs complete his 7-year farewell tour. He's earned it.

Has Baddoo been given a million chances? He was brought to the majors way too soon because he had to be on the roster as a rule 5 pick. He did quite well in 2021. Last year, he struggled. I'd say he's still a good prospect. If it weren't for his Rule 5 status, he probably would be debuting this year.

I agree, but I don't think red hats want to be like elites either (other than having money).

Like 80% of the teams in baseball! But it's better than being in the bottom 20%!

Fidrych was one of a kind. There will never be another one like him. He was a unique individual, but part of what made him special is that nobody knew who he was until he started pitching in Detroit. Today, we would have analyzed him from the day he was drafted. We would have known everything about him and placed him on various prospect lists. When was in Detroit, we would haved worried about his low K rate and worried about him getting hurt with the high innings pitched totals. Nobody cared about that stuff back then. Who knows what social media would be saying about him? The Bird phenomenon just wouldn't be the same today. I am so glad we were able to experience it when we did.

Do people who make fun of the red hats do it because they want to be like them?
