  1. The Athletic ($) has a piece from Cody how Tork and Kriedler's stumbles have screwed up 2023 plans. Could write same article about Meadows and Baddoo and Candy and Schoop and Miggy and ... https://theathletic.com/3534996/2022/08/25/spencer-torkelson-ryan-kreidler-tigers/
  2. correct; the only team that has contractual limits on Candy is the Tigers; they must offer him 80% of his 2022 salary to retain him thru arbitration. When they don't do that, any team including Detroit can then sign him for the minimum or above.
  3. this has been pointed out many times; Trump is the softest target in the history of soft targets
  4. I wonder why the Villages' deliberate fraudsters were treated differently?
  5. Parades homers again, geez
  6. Between undergrad, graduate and law school loans my wife and I had over $150k in loans. Through hard work I was able to make a small dent and through luck, I was able to pay them off after 12 years. We bought a starter house later than our friends and we bought our second house later as well in part because of the repayment burden. It all worked out but it did have to be so difficult. We could have been growing our wealth so much earlier. College is too expensive. 17 year olds taking out six figures loans is crazy. This is just a patch but welcome. They need to make SL debt dischargeable in bankruptcy; that would actually help a lot. Hopefully this is step one of five to getting this under control. Finally I have never needed FEMA aide after a flood or hurricane or tornado. I do not curse my fellow Americans to suffer when they are in need. I am so happy for the relief this brings to people even though my children will never have SL debt.
  7. is Bally audio really bad for others?
  8. the more they add, the more trash gets taken out
  9. when the Dodgers asked to buy him, maybe they should have paused and asked, why does the best team in baseball want this guy?
  10. No Jake Rogers this year per AJ; arm not ready for action
  11. the grift can never end with these people
  12. Loomer lost as well; the less crazy the candidates are the better it is for the country
  13. Pacecho off IL for WMI; 1-4 2B
  14. not sure where this goes
  15. C Cooper Johnson released, 6th round pick 2019
  16. what the tigers could not fix in 4 months, the Braves fixed in 4 days. that's pure failure.
  17. yes, and the league adjusted and then they could find no counter move.
  18. when they DFA Candy, safe to assume he will return to his normal decent level of production with his new team. what an absolute cluster the whole organization is. Soon after the trade, however, analysts from Braves baseball operations presented video to hitting coach Kevin Seitzer that showed what Grossman was doing differently from past seasons when he’d thrived against righties. The outlook started to change. If Grossman saw the same things they were seeing and was willing to work right away on adjustments, Seitzer and the Braves analytics experts thought he might be more than a right-handed hitting platoon player to share left-field duties with Eddie Rosario, as originally planned. To say that it’s worked as hoped would be an understatement.
  19. hard to imagine, but when gas was cheaper in Windsor, one time my friend's mom drove a bunch of us to Tiger stadium, and she said, we are going to Canada to get gas first; she went thru the tunnel, told the guy she was buying gas at a station she could see, filled up, and came back. With the fares, it was still cheaper to buy in Windsor. No papers asked for, for the kids including me that were not hers. No one cared. Tigers won (Angels I think).
  20. Torre and Francona were both retreads and not welcomed when hired on NY and Boston
  21. Jobe did not get thru 2 innings tonite Mayer probably hit 2 cycles and Lawler probably had 5 homers
  22. I already told myself he would have surgery, but GD they get no breaks
  23. is playing a 34 year old SS who has not hit league average for 6 years something they should be doing?
  24. i don't think this is a goal nor would it be difficult. keep him around as depth; maybe he can be the bridge at 3rd to Keith; or release him if Kreidler/Clemens/Other is outperforming him
