It's really hard to see them sending down a top propspect with a 12/12 BB/K ratio after 12 games.

Great effort in the 9th. They never quit. The bullpen did not help. Overall, it's a different feel this year than the end of last year. Last year was magical, but unsustainable. This year, they seem like a legitimately very good team with a strong rotation, Tork breaking out and Green and Carpenter healthy and hitting. They still have fight, but it's not Hinch bullpen magic holding it together.

He's got a lot of experience going after outside in the dirt pitches.

That's why tariffs or some other kind of strategy should be focused on China and not every country in the world. I think he's punishing the entire world just so he can brag about some little "victories" over some weak noncompetitive countries. It's like an NCAA football powerhouse, beating up on FCS teams, but losing the big games. Actually, they best thing he can do is to do nothing since he's clueless about the economy anyway.

I used to say that he was like Rob Deer except Deer had a good year one year. What was strange was that fans seemed to like Palmer, but regarded Deer as a joke.

Rodriguez and Brookens had a few average years, but they played regulary for too long, so stability may not have been a good thing in their cases. When they lost their fielding skills, they became useless.

It wouldn't be the Tigers if there wasn't a question about third base. It'd been their weakest position historically.

I am interested to see what Dingler does playing regularly. On the other hand, much has been said about how Rogers works with the pitching staff. It didn't hurt them yesterday.

That is probably accurate. Overall, I am seeing more good than bad. If Torkelson and Mize are for real, which is very possible, that makes a huge difference. If Sweeney shows that he can be the regular starting shortstop, that solves a big problem. My biggest concern now is how long Meadows will be out. The other cocern is their bullpen, but that can be amelioarted by Hinch's management. It's also the easiest thng to fix at the deadline if necessary.

They believe that main street will suffer briefly and then Trump will rebuild everything with tariffs. They live in a fantasy world.

He's got a fund which is unavailable to the rest of us peons. It has gained 20% so far this year.

Oh OK, I misread it. I thought it was talking about today's morning rally and afternoon plunge.

I thought the story was this morning.

If the story was the reason for the early rally, then why did the Asia and Europe markets go up so much before the story was reported?

I don't think the word "disabled" is generally considered offensive. It depends on how it is used. If you refer to individuals as disabled people or people with disabilities, then it's not offensive. If you refer to them as "the disabled" then it's dehumanizing. I do understand your overall point though. it is intent that matters. The idea is to respect everyone with respect and kindness. I would say that "injured list" makes more sense than "disabled list" because a disability is usually permanent whereas an injury generally heals.

I remember a friend was practically begging me to watch a Dan Bongino video because he thought it was the greatest thing ever. Within 5 seconds, I knew he was a con man.

There are surely things that you think are offense that are not offensive to others. Anyway, if there is one group which deserves extra consideration, it is disabled people.

Yes, he is not what I expected.

Not allowed? You can call it that if you want (I still do somethimes because it's so ingrained in my brain) but the official name is now Injured List which is similar to other sports.

It's more calm than a drop of 6%

I wonder if Torkelson will be moving back to first and Keith to DH when Torres returns.

The king of Debt doesn't give a **** about waste, fraud and abuse.

I don't think it's the age or the hours worked. This **** happens all over and older men are often the offenders.

I didn't say they did.

It's noteworthy as long as you don't conclude that he has reached a new performance level.
