Crochet was one of the best pitchers in the game before they started limiting his innings He is also young and has two years before free agency, so I would expect him to cost a lot in terms of prospects. It makes sense for the Red Sox who are all in right now. It makes less sense for the Tigers since I think they are looking longer term.

It has been that way for decades. The other stuff is just "divide and conquer".

or you could go to Truth Social.

The impression that everyone inside govt is corrupt comes from the fact that the most corrupt people are typically the ones that climb to the top and thus have the most influence. Big companies are the same way.

I don't think most posters believe that. Some believe it's a possibility.

Three people here have mentioned that Colvito was their hero. I just missed his career and wish I ddn't.

I saw some massive rats in Boston. I took the commuter rail every day for 11 years which had its share of characters. I learned quickly to avoid the subway as it was just an awful environment. Thankfully, Boston is a great walking city, so you go almost anyway without the subway.

Not that I give a **** about Jay Z, but raping a 13 year old girl is something else that your boy Trump was also accused of doing.

Not even a number.

Absolutely, He won three Cy Young awards, finished 3rd another year and ended his career with one of the best 4 year stretches of any pitcher ever. He was Degrom on steroids. I think you can ignore park factors when someone leads the league in strikeouts every year.

And Tommy John had a famous surgery named after him. He had the surgery in '75 and was still pitching in '89! 26 years total.

I don't think he measures up to most Hall of Famers. I would have liked to have seen Tommy John and Luis Tiant make it.

**** Allen and Dave Parker have been elected into the Hall of Fame. Allen was one of the greatest hitters in MLB history finishing with a 156 OPS+ lifetime. That is 18th best ever. He deserves it. Parker was a Hall of Fame talent for a few years before he blew out his knee, but he didn't have enough years and I think he was a weak pick. He is kind of in the Jim Rice class as far as peak versus career. He was a better player than Rice, but just not enough years.

I put Sweeney in the Jung category - has some promise, but not certain enough where they would forego an upgrade.

He's a shortstop and good fielder. He was a 5 WAR player before the injury. The injury definitely complicates things though.

My job would be in trouble too.

If they do make massive cuts in order to save money, they will affect people including MAGAs. There is some waste in government and I have always been in favor of making selective cuts here and there across the board (not easy to do!), but I think people will find that cutting entire departments and firing thousands of employees would have undesired and unexpected effects that are going to hurt people that they know. It won't hurt the wealthy though. They'll be fine.

That is a good point. My 99 year old father was in an emergency room for over 30 hours a year ago because there were no hospital beds. He had both Medicare and VA insurance, so he could go to either. VA was a cost savings for certain things.

14 black ink numbers! Ducky Medwick had 15 in 1937 https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/medwijo01.shtml

I go to assassination circle jerk dot come to get baseball news and talk. You can avoid political discussion a lot easier on that site. Even if you only follow sports posters on Twitter, you can't scroll half a screen without geting flooded by far right propaganda.

It's going to be hlarious when everybody finds out that crypto is all a ponzi scheme.

You know what else is inconsistent? Tigeraholic being a conservative Trump skeptic for years and then going full MAGA instantaneously. wtf is that?

They should. Even though we know it's coming, we should. J6 (including everything that came before and after) is a huge stain on this country.

I'd rather focus on bigger threats.

What they did to Mike Pence was inexcusable and threatening. I just didn't think the gallows were practical or would be used for anything. If they wanted to hang him, they could have done so without the gallows. I don't think there was a plan to hang him, but all it takes is one crazy person to do something and Trump did nothing stop the rants ot the riot. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it . That is where my focus lies.
