Just checked in and am seeing a replay of Sundays game.

That is the kind of injury luck you need to end up as the last team standing in the NFL

Trump is a very impatient, and thus weakens as a negotiator as things drag out. I am willing to bet he will give the Dems health care if they hold out. All the sturm and drang at the front end of his tactics is expressly because he wants things over quickly. He doesn't like to have to hold out for what he wants.

it's raining pretty steady in A^2 - usually not a good prognosis for later in Det.

really looking forward to having McNeil back. If he is anywhere near full strength it immediately makes it a lot less likely a QB can step up to avoid Hutch.

Extortionist in Chief.

wow - This doesn't say what state - I thought In MI you had to be at least a BS RN to qualify to become a NP - And the only PA I know is a physiology PHD. Maybe not anymore? Guess I may be assuming to much....

this is the key. Even the ancient Greeks knew that the most dangerous guy is the one that doesn't know what he doesn't know, and AI has no clue what it doesn't know. OK, I'm a Chem - I dabble in electronics and mechanical, and I could have generated that drawing for you, but I damn well know I don't know the ASME codes so that is the first place I know I have to go. OK, so you train you next model on engineering codes....But you are always going to be one step behind the curve aren't you? I'll grant that doesn't mean you might not at some point be better than the average joe with a BS from State U, but how does the user ever know enough about the model (which is the ultimate black box) to have a level of confidence in it for things that are critical? To me that remains the missing link. Now I can believe profit motive may drive practice to accepting those outcomes without ever answering that question, but that's not a design world I want to live in - but since we are both old either way we probably won't have to!

I think there is something more than we see between Hinch and Mize. I'd be at a loss to see why Flaherty could be considered more 'trusty' than Mize in this universe, but Hinch has always seemed to have had a lot of reservations about Casey. I guess maybe if you think you need the shutout, Flaherty is maybe the pick as when he is 'on' he can be more dominant than Casey, but he's also more likely to blow up. If it were regular season I don't think you could reasonably argue that on average you are likely to get a better game from Flaherty but like I said, if you are going for broke I maybe see the choice.

I think that is/was right. But then again, I don't know if he's even so much aggressive as that he understands how high the single play success rate is for the team he has on the field. The narrative is in large part about 4th down, but when you have Penei Sewell, two great backs and a QB that probably completes at an +80 clip in the short game, 4th and short is not as risky as conventional football wisdom would have it. It's less aggression than knowing what you have and a good understanding of the probabilities. And I wouldn't underestimate Goff's role. He has at least as much confidence and aggression as his coach.

I suppose if he got whacked in the spine there could be some nerve irritation and that's harder to get read on than muscle or joint issues. Parker's Meadows arm problem being a good example - they had no idea when it was going to clear up and there wasn't a lot they could do for it in the meanwhile.

I'm going to guess the big difference in terms of nuts and bolts coaching, is that from all we have heard, and what we see on the field, Campbell is a guy that hammers all the little details harder than the average coach. That leads to more precise execution, (and fewer flags) and that maximizes the value of your talent. At least at the point where Schwartz was when he was here he was not at Campbell's level in that area.

Schwartz's Lions teams were undisciplined. That could. be who you are drafting to a certain extant also, but it's usually just poor coaching.

this is where I am. I think right now AI is being used for a lot things where the marginal value over the alternative may actually be pretty small - for instance a google AI result vs a simple search. Half the time you end up drilling down into the AI provided links anyway. So the question then is whether the *cost* in power and infrastructure is actually worth the candle for a lot of the places where the hype today says AI is the future. So then the question is whether when the big operators doing AI as a loss leader today need to monetize it, is the revenue going to be there. Beats me but I've seen a lot of good technologies that do settle in to good use first be heavily oversold at the front end of their adoption curve.

A good friend who is retired command rank said exactly this. That the response of bunch of decorated war vets being lectured by an ex-weekend warrior Major would be a pretty universal FU.

the 1%'ers have so much cash they don't know what to do with every shiny object gets chased.

they would have to come up with some better discriminator though - two baseball stadia within 60 miles with the same name shouldn't happen.

Another interesting question is how the Tigers would feel if 5/3 wants to keep the rights but the Tigers aren't thrilled about COPA being re-labeled like a bunch of minor league parks. I suppose if the check is big enough.....

so a guy that should be repudiated is repudiated. News at 11?

I wonder if this will be the end the marketing fallacy that Comerica has a 100yr legacy in Detroit when all they did was buy their way in.

Parker needs to have 500 more AB next season just like that one. He battled there as well as I have seen him all year.

yup - they need to find the sweet spot between working a pitcher - which ended up failing tonight anyway as after getting him to 50 in two, they went down the next two in 18 total, and being too aggressive. And to me that means being more aggressive on the 1st pitch - don't allow guys to steal strikes, THEN get more conservative. You can still work pitchers and you won't always be in the hole. What has to be kept in mind is that absolute best way to work a pitch count is to get on base and make him face another hitter.

Really tired of watching Tiger hitters take FBs for strikes

The strike box was so lightly shaded I couldn't see it 90% of the time. If the guys in the both got the same feed they weren't seeing it either.

and it was the classic pitcher's dilemma: go with my best stuff or try to pitch to the hitter's weakness. The guys in the booth didn't seem to be picking up on it very clearly, but we all know Carp feasts on high fastballs. But Kirby decided to go with his best stuff (If I'm going to get beat, they are going to beat my best pitch"). I thought the Tigers got lucky in the same regard with Raleigh. As per his statcast maps, like most power hitters, you pitch him away as RH batter. But his data says he is more vulnerable inside as LHB, the Tigers mostly pitched him away anyway.
