To your first two sentences: Skubal’s career can be over after his next pitch.

damn it. now that you say it they probably had some AI or a bot scanning stuff and that's how they discovered it. "Find all the 'lib' **** and GET RID OF IT" HIT: Calibri.

I don't think the answer is so cut and dry and doesn't have to be an either/or. I'm willing to concede that Avila was smart enough to know what he didn't know and knew what had to be done and got people here to lay the foundation. There's a lot that goes into an organization's baseball operations. It's not just the draft picks and free agent signings, or even the manager and coaches. I do give Harris a lot of credit for this team's success. But I also believe that it would have been impossible to achieve that without some things Avila put in place (hint: It's not just players). There's no shame in understanding that to fully take advantage of what's there you need someone else to come in and take over and build on it, subtract from it, and pull from it. You can hire all the right people but do you know how to put it all together? What assignments to give? You can say that Harris is doing great but that Al wasn't as bad as the results during his tenure indicate.

Project Caesar.

I'm sure we've all seen this but there have been two players named Moyer in MLB. Jamie and Ed Moyer. Ed Moyer died Nov 18, 1962. Jamie Moyer was born Nov 18, 1962.

I don't think it's that.... I think they're just being assholes in general. "They" did something different so we have to change it back because whatever reason they had for doing it was "woke". They would cut their own dicks off if it "owned the libs". That's how stupid and deranged these people are now.

He's truly an idiot and representative of the new way of the media today. He got roasted on social media for complaining about getting a parking ticket because.... he parked in a spot that required payment without paying but... "It was only for a few minutes so I could get a hot dog from Lafayette".

Ok. i just want you to know I'm not making fun of you for this. it's the internet. We bull****.

Ryan Ermani mentioned this on Fox2 this morning, acting like it was "almost done". I'm not saying that to give it legitimacy. I'm saying it to point out what an absolute tool he is. @AlaskanTigersFan this isn't meant as a jab at you at all. But a TV anchor with a large audience should absolutely know better than to flout internet rumors by one person. So now random Fox 2 viewers who are casual sports fans think Tarik Skubal's about to get traded.

I didn't know street cred was a thing for internet people. This reminds me of the guy who "broke" the Rick Carlisle story and has been riding high on that ever since, and been wrong ever since.

I don't discount the value in that. But if there's a bidding war for him and he's intent on getting the absolute most then I don't see how the Tiges can compete with the deep pockets of other orgs and I don't want them to do that. I won't hold it against them or call them cheap. I don't need my team to have the most expensive Non Ohtani player.

Realistically... how many more years of CY caliber performance does he have left? He's already won 2 in a row. Do you think he's a Max/JV type or a Corey Kluber/David Price type? I say ride him out next year and make a fair offer and if he goes, he goes. God Bless and thank you. This org, if they are as good as they say, should be able to produce what Tarik Skubal would be by the time he's 32 ro 33. Do you really think at that age he's going to be as good as he is now?

It never occurred to me that a font was “woke”.

Seems like every city around me has a data center proposal in the works.

The Tigers by definition can’t make him a competitive offer because he’s not a free agent yet. You can’t really blame them or whatever for not signing him to an extension. Until other teams can counter an offer then a deal isn’t competitive. The market last year or this year is not the market next year.

I think it does. The idiots on twitter who listen to too much radio make dismissive comments beyond his performance. “Scotty boy”. “Haircut”. Stuff like that. They thjnk he’s weak and timid. Most of them are overweight pretend jocks who think they are teasing the nerd in high school.

TP Stands for Toilet Paper, right? That's what I think every time I see it.

Are there any POBO's or GM's in today's game that did not go to college? It's not 1965 anymore.

THose people are reached via TikTok and the Joe Rogan's of the world.

What’s funny is I thought “Carlos Delgado was on a ballot??? It never dawned on me he’d be considered”. Then I looked up his stats and he was actually better for a longer period of time than I remember. . Not saying what you said isn’t true though.

A17 was the only nighttime launch of a Saturn V. one minor correction on that thing from Bluesky, what do we call them? It wasn’t the last Apollo mission. It was the last Apollo lunar mission. There was the Apollo Soyouz Test Project mission with the soviets. And the Skylab flights are officially considered Apollo missions.

It does remember. Ask it what it knows about you. I did that because when I was making those Sora videos, it referenced my hometown which seemed odd. “Chad”, which is what we call ChatGPT, didn’t know it. But it does assume my interests are things I have asked it about.

Yep. That’s the trick. Normalize the military hanging out in the cities asking peoole for their papers. Normalize snatching people away. Normalize killing people in boats. All in the name of “immigration” and “drugs”.

Off topic but GR is an untapped resource for people in metro Detroit. Went last year to see Nate Bargatze and what a cool town. A lot of the bands I follow will play there instead of around here. It’s close enough to not require an overnight.

I think of them as tags. They are paired. An opening and closing. { and } are an item. If you see { then another { then what comes next is linked to the second one and the info within. Then you just go back a level to stay on subject for the previous {. Sort of like parenthesis in a math equation.
