Going to minor league games is definitely more fun for me. I am not emotionally invested in the teams and don't care who wins, but the environment is usually more enjoyable.

Justin Spiro used to be part of The Detroit Sports Rag which was a very sexist site. I am not sure I'd advise a troubled woman to share a very senstive story with him.

Yeah, I was referring to the Asian accent in talking about Shohei Ohtani. He later botched his apology by calling him Jose Ohtani. It wasn't that big of a deal but certainly a broadcaster should know better. It was a short lived drama.

Unlikely. Impemba, Allen, Morris, Monroe. Anybody else?

This needs to be done. A lot of people don't understand how bad of a person Trump is because they don't pay attention. His character should be attacked daily, systematically and unapologetically. And don't sweep it under the rug because a new scandal pops up.

Sounds that way if true.

I unfollowed him a while ago, because he posts frequently and nothing he posts has any value.

You can't moderate Trump. He's just going to do what he wants anyway. It was Biden's job to do that. The old Biden would have grilled him.

It's worth something. They need to know if he learned anything and whether he is part of their future. They came into the season with three young players with something to prove (Tork, Keith, meadows) and so far they have proved little.

Yeah, that was Biden's job and that was the most frustrating part of the "debate". He started doing it later, but it was too little too late.

By having a plan, I man he was committed to building from within. He tore everything down and tried to collect young players and never waivered. I did not like his plan and he was bad at it, but I saw that he had a plan. I don't follow the behind the scenes management stuff as much as you do, but I know they were not good at analytics. Harris and his team appear to be far superior at analytics and that is what I've always wanted from the Tigers. I am excited about that. What I don't know is whether they will be good at team building. My excitement will be tempered until I see evidence that they have that skill.

I don't think anyone here with the possible exception of Echoes admires Avila. I think Avila was a poor GM. It's just that any time someone points out a positive acquisition by Avila - such as Skubal, Greene, Carpenter or Olson - it gets shot down. It seems that Avila is hated so much that people won't give him credit for the few good players he produced. It's possible for someone to be terrible at the job, but still do some good things.

It's the same thing as players. Everything was different a long time ago. You can compare Avila to his contemporaries and Smith to his contemporaries and decide which one was worse. What I see was that Avila and his team had a plan, but were bad at executing it. Smith didn't even seem to have a plan. Regardless, the Tigers did very poorly under both of them. I hope they do better under Harris. They couldn't do much worse.

Maybe he is. I doubt he is telling them to vote for Trump.

This is not a Biden campaign site. It's a place where where we dicuss politics and this thread in particular is where we talk about the election. That includes analyzing the chances of favorite and not so favorite candidates.

He does. His name is Zach McKinstry.

I like compare him to Mussolini. Il Douche

Anything is better when you don't have to look at Trump's stupid face.

Right, but I am not here to campaign for Biden. I am concerned that he will not get elected because of his poor communicaton skills and I am expressing that concern here. Saying negative things about Biden on a Detoit Sports message bored will will have zero impact on his chances.

No, I won't just get out of the way. I don't need to speak the party line. This is not ElectJoeBiden.com.

But the bar is always lower for Trump. He sucks 100% of the time, but it doesn't seem to matter with him.

It doesn't matter. He blew it last night on the national stage. I know you are a huge Biden supporter and think he can do no wrong and there is nothing I can say to change your mind. However, I still maintain that his communication skills are a significant problem and that last night was not an isolated event. The party has a lot of work to do to fix his image before election day.

Trump always sounds like a lunatic, but America has decided that it's OK.
