Saying he resigns with no info as to why leaves everything to speculation. Obviously there is no speculation as to whether he resigned or not.

Are you talking about the piece that just says "Tigers Assistant GM Sam Menzin resigns"? That kind of leaves everything to speculation, especially when the article says it is u clear why he resigned.

He's not gonna be in A ball for long.

Hit the head and pulled him to get checked. Sounds like it was just precautionary so that's good.

Rainer HBP and taken out of the game in his first AB. Very cool.

Whitecaps are the free milb tv game of the day tonight at 6:35.

For anyone interested in learning more about the torpedo bats, and more so just the science in optimizing bat making for performance, the Rates& Barrels podcast had a good podcast discussing it. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4sqvvURplhWc4UMIMqWorB?si=ZNJ9scsBStCRTFBJfigTWQ

Not a single player/team is more focused when facing Skubal than they were last year.

Did teams not focus in on beating him last year?

Did the Tigers show a replay of Riley's check swing?

He beat the tag even if he held on.

Not everyone is using the new bats btw. For example, Aaron Judge is not.

UMP giving us some favorable calls for a change.

Tork just keeps putting together good ABs.

The Ohtani situation is just obnoxious. Being able to add a player like him for $2 million a year because he's 1. willing to do that, and 2. able to do that because he's the one player in baseball who earns $50+ mill a year in endorsements. It's a lot like the situation where the NBA had a huge jump in salary cap just when Durant was a free agent allowing Golden State to sign a top 2 player to the team that just set the record for wins in a season.

If he doesn't stumble around 3rd he's safe, not really a case of Cora being over aggressive.

The Dodgers announcer said he had speed when the ball was going to the corner so I figured it would be an easy run. Was absolutely shocked to see the throw arrive and him just running into the screen

Dodgers broadcast released a synched up photo showing Margo was out by inches btw.

They started their season with two games in Japan a week ago.

Agreed, but I don't see that that would be a whammy to the Cubs.

Yeah, but the Dodgers don't get extra money for that.

I believe merchandise in Japan is shared equally amongst all teams.

Correct. And he was not good in the booth. They can have him hang around and come in as a third guy for a couple of innings every now and then, or be involved in post game stuff.

They are neither loosing nor losing young players because of McStinky. They aren't competing for the same roster spot. It's better for Jung to get everyday ABs in AAA than have McStinkys bench role in the majors.
