  1. Yes, I don't think they have any loyalty to him personally. He's useful. Very useful.
  2. And they were open about it.
  3. He's right... It should start getting him the hell out of here.
  4. Maybe, he should get a different job.
  5. Delete them. They can't be trusted.
  6. In retrospect, Parrish dropped off quite a bit after he left the Tigers and Nokes had a great year in '87. Gibson sure would have helped in 88, probably would have gotten them to post-season. Morris was old and fading when they let him go, so I don't blame them for that. His revival in Torontro was unexpected. I was more disappointed in 85 and 86. That was a great team and still fairly young. They should have added more players through free agency and trade. Also should have kept Howard Johnson.
  7. Yes and it seems a lot harder than it used to be.
  8. How about "if the draft was redone today based on how good they are"?
  9. The 80s core stayed together for a long time. The problem was they didn't add to the core with complementary pieces after 1984. Their development just kind of stopped and Anderson was not a great manager for developing young players. He was good at managing egos but didn't have a lot of patience with young players.
  10. With the depth of their roster, there is not much reason to acquire a postion player unless he's a star. I think they will acquire pitching help especially relievers. I would never rule out acquiring a starter though. You can never ever have too much pitching.
  11. You don't think the president will follow the rules?
  12. I thought about that after posting! My post was just a flip remark about their on and off play lately.
  13. Probably tomorrow, but maybe not the next day.
  14. AI has its uses, but it sucks at sports.
  15. Not a good baseball name. Maybe hockey.
  16. Based on the numbers - DRS and statcast - he is better than last year, but still a little below average.
  17. I personally like the higher interest rates. It makes it easier for me to invest in bonds and not be so invested in the Wall Street casino.
  18. Flaherty throws a Porcello.
  19. He is undermining his contract value. I could see him declining the option and staying with the Tigers another year. I'd rather he help them this year and then leave.
  20. I'm in the dome today. It reached 101 in Massachusetts which is rare.
  21. I'm expecting some major gaslighting very soon where they try to convince us that Trump was right about everything he said.
  22. It's not a great seasion for AL outfielders. Top 3 outfielders by FanGraphs WAR: Judge 6.0 Buxton 3.1 Greene 2.6
  23. I don't care about the allstar game much anymore, but Torres and Greene both deserve to start. Baez is comeback player of the year but not an allstar starter. Buxton is probably #1 in CF.
  24. If healthy...I would not count on it. I'd like to see them get one more starter. If everyone stays healthy, that gives them another bullpen arm for the playoffs. I also want them to had a traditional reliever or two.
