I think they were also hoping he could still play a little 3rd because they didn't really like any of the current cast there. But that ended before ST was even over. My memory is skewed as I remember him more as the regular 1B vs Bergman but Bergmann had the Lions share at 1b with 114 games. Evens only played 47 games at 1st, another 20 at 3rd late in the season (Brookens hurt?), the rest at DH.

CNN bungled the whole thing anyway with all the extraneous production time - and the fact that they ran so many commercials. The actual interview was so chopped up and had such long breaks that it was pretty much guaranteed to keep anyone from getting much of a focus on Harris - which was probably fine by Harris but just highlights CNN's incompetence as a new org. CNN was more interested in marketing themselves in that hour than actually doing the 'news' thing, which would have been to run at least a 1/2 hour interview uninterrupted. But that's the corporate reality. But to a degree it's always been this way. The very best interviews before the 1960 election weren't done by Cronkite or Murrow or Huntley/Brinkley, they were done by Jack Paar on the Tonight show.

They want ratings and they are all down this cycle significantly from 2020 - and that's LW, RW and MSM. One interpretation that the people have tuned out of politics this cycle, but that doesn't really wash with volunteer and fund raising strength. So hopefully it just means people are learning not to care what the talking heads say.

That is the key isn't it? But, "I watched it so you don't have to" is SOP for biased sources who want to color reality and given a lazy audience it works for them.

It will cost them $250K to be rid of Miller. Let don't go cheap.

Andy didn't even finish saying "you don't have to throw him a strike here" and the ball was gone.

Lets see if Miller can perform when it matters.

yep - needs to heed Magglio. Try to do too much, you won't do too much.

"ones", not quite "boy" but I'm sure it's heard the same way by the target audience.

Well Miller did close the door on the Tiger's chances. That's something.

I'm biased of course, but the they way Bash pleaded for more "Is that all?" just encapsulated exactly how needy the media is for click bait as opposed to substance. I just don't think it plays badly at all.

I think maybe they get into bad habits when they have a couple of series against teams like the WSox that can't pitch.

dan just noted Boston has been averaging 6 runs against. You should have a chance even if you spot them 4 Tigs are at 16+ innings without a run.

Torkelson took the best pitch to hit for strike one. Backsliding on staying aggressive in the zone.

Did. One run was *not* earned regardless of how mis-informed the scorer is.

just when it looked like Casey was having a good inning........ I guess first time back it's not that terrible, but when the O isn't doing anything it seems worse.

replay crew fails again. Tigers used to have one of the best replay teams, what happened?

two hits wasted.

The weird approach by official scorer's that you have to have touched and then booted a ball to have mis-played it is about as dumb a thing as anything in the current game. The play that Sweeney missed was absolutely ordinary effort to catch. Missing it completely instead of getting a glove on it and dropping it can't be double.

His FB velo has picked up from where it was at the beginning of the game which is good to see - he'd really be in trouble at 91-93, but yeah, Casey is suffering lack of reps. You have to pitch to develop command and there is no way to undo all the time lost.

Exactly Also interesting that at Politico's site the headline is: "Harris sidesteps the spotlight when it comes to her identity" which is a much less negative spin and the article is actually pretty positive. So the question is who at Politico runs their twitter feed and how much more influenced are they by Axel Springer than the people writing the stories.

at least it isn't Faedo's hip again. One more round with that and you'd have to think it was something chronic. Still, between shoulder, hip, TJ he's turning into a guy you never get much out of.

Does Det have the dumbest beat writers ever?

JD is the gift that keep on giving.

We've done a driving trip to each coast in the last few years. The SO plans very meticulously but we always put about 20% 'slop' in the schedule for exploring and often it's what you find along the way you didn't know about that ends up the best time.
