  1. I don't think a managers job is so much risk analysis or game theory. The analysts can figure that out better than a manager. It just requires more detailed analysis than we are used to seeing. I think a manager's job is less risk analysis and game theory and more trying to figure out when a given player is not up to performing as expected in a given situation.
  2. I agree there is not much a manager can do without players or even with players for that matter. It's the players. I need to see what the team looks like once Green, Torkelson, Manning and Mize reach their potential before I decide that the franchise is doomed. And I do realize, there is a good chance we'll be disappointed by some of the results.
  3. I don't think I ever said that, but I might have though it. Jack Morris is even worse though.
  4. If the Tigers are under .500 for the ninth straight year, fans will probably start blaming Hinch.
  5. I had high hopes for Mark Lewis when he got off to a great start and still had an OPS of over .800 in mid-June. He fell apart after that.
  6. He took them to 75+ wins or they got lucky last year? I don't think he's the problem. Players win games, not managers. I am just amused that every time something good happens, he is a genius and every time something bad happens, it's Avila's fault.
  7. I don't think a full national ban will happen until the Republicans are completely in charge which right now looks like 2024.
  8. Should of traded for Adames! The Brewers got him for very little and he has been on fire since they got him. Of course, it's very possible that Avila made an offer and the Brewers wanted something else.
  9. I think utility is Clemens ultimate role anway, so it wouldn't be a waste to find out if he can handle that role. Chances are he is another Castro, but it probably wouldn't hurt to give him a shot.
  10. A hard throwing right hander who won't be ready for three or more years and then gets hurt when they call him up.
  11. If Epstein wanted to be a GM, he'd be a GM. He wouldn't be sitting around waiting for a call from the Tigers. I think his focus is an MLB consultatnt strategizing ways to improve the sport.
  12. Well, at least Schoop got a hit.
  13. It works like this: Hinch was a genius last year when things were going well, but April was not his fault. This season is not his fault either. It's Avila's fault, but if they get healthy and start playing well, it will be because Hinch is a genius.
  14. Giving the fans their money's worth.
  15. What kind of person walks through the mud and rain to watch a Trump rally?
  16. I brought that up a while ago and was lectured as to why it was impossible and would be a bad thing, but I am with you!
  17. What's funny is that Hispanic immigrants have a longer life expectancy that either White or Black Americans.
  18. Yes, it is plausible. I can be a mess in a bad allergy season and there are many people with worse allergies than me.
  19. If there is a national ban, the MAGA party will lose the the House, the Senate and the Presidency in the next elections after the banning.
  20. I thought he meant abortions in Massachusetts.
  21. Except for wealthy and powerful people. They will always have access to abortion. Any judge, any congressperson, any President, any CEO, any major Evangelical chuch lerader will always have access.
  22. Turn off all the networks and it will do you good.
  23. The bullpen luck may be running out.
