If you read the MTF constituton, you will see a clause stating that we are allowed to publicly question Biff. Everyone else is off limits. Publicly questioning Bert is an immediate ban. Other penalties vary according to the seriousness of the offense.

OK Scott 😃

Carpenter (160 wrc+) and Greene (135 wrc+) were way above average last year. They probably won't get him, but Bregman was 118. Meadows was 111 Fangraphs project 112+ for both Keith and Torres next year. They need steps forward, but not massive ones (other than signing Bregman). Of course, healthy pitching is always a wildcard.

No, it's not and that is creepy.

Trump treats everythng as a game. He is a complete embarrassment. Always has been. Always will be.

Nobody here is cheering for it. You are the last person who should be accusing people of politicizing everything. That's all you ever do now including this post.

I don't know if this plane crash is a result of that, but deliberately causing chaos all over federal government is almost certainly going to cause disasters. People don't understand the many important roles that federal employees play. It's not just a bunch of lazy bureaucrats.

Whether it's poliical or not, I'm sure it it will become political really quickly. The Dems will blame Trump. The GOP will blame the trans pilot. Trump will make the brief all about himself.

I feel like their off-season moves probably haven't improved the team much, but there is a lot of potential for improvement within. I also feel like they caught lightning in a bottle at the end of the year and they will have to improve more than their final record suggests.

I think the plan is long term and I think it's a good one overall. However, I think they are ready to try to win now and would like to see them accelerate the plan.

I think the opinion of the best pitcher in baseball and the guy their entire pithing staff revolves around should be very relevant. They need him a lot more than he needs them.

Their infield defense is bad which isn't good when you are so reliant on pitchng.

I agree and they are running out of good free agent options. A big trade might be the only way to make it a good off-season.

Reading the full tweet, he's out to get unversities for sympathizing with them. The real reason he hates universities is probably becaue he was a ****ty student who couldn't read or write beyond grade school level and they didn't accept his bull****.

He's definitely worth a one year deal. I pretty much never complain about one-year deals.

I think he would have been an excellent pickup. Not sure I like the one and one contract given that he'll miss a chunk of this season though. I was hoping for a straight two-year deal.

True, if he throws the same pitch over and over, then nothing is changing. I Don't even thnk Petriello was being serious when he tweeted that. It was a reference to DiMaggio

He sounds like another Fernando Rodney which could be good or bad. The Tigers organization is good place for pitchers like that.

Tommy Kahnle once threw 56 consecutive change-ups.

One could argue that they are all children.

This would be hugely unpopular, another huge over reach https://idahocapitalsun.com/2025/01/27/idaho-house-calls-on-u-s-supreme-court-to-reverse-same-sex-marriage-ruling/ I'm almost rooting for over reach now. It's the only way out of it. During the summer, there was a talk at my school given by an economist and author who had written a book about presidential eras based mostly on economic policy. He said this era started with Reagan and has largely been very conservative especially due to deregulation. He said that every such era ends at some sort of cross roads and ends with the current party getting crushed. He was very sure that Trump was going to win the election in 2024 and also very sure that he'd over reach (mostly in respect to economic policy) and that the Republicans would get crushed in 2028. This of course should be taken with a big grain of salt and I don't expect anyone to agree with it, but it was interesting at the time.

It seems like he has signed 3 or 4 times this winter!

Whether it's real or not, people who don't live in Detroit generally don't have a good view of it. They aren't the only city like that, but it's probably not a good selling point in negotiations.

No way anybody should accept any offer from Trump or anyone connected to him.

Some people are easily snowed.
