It's actually pretty amazing you can go 6 weeks without one hitter on your team getting red hot just by random chance.

Tigers need to be ready to swing and run to first on one of Gilberts 0-2 wild pitches.

and they never completed the strike out with the throw to 1st.

Jack is freezing up, can't throw strikes. Luckily someone chased a ball.

Riley throws like a DH.

Early pitch counts are overrated (but kind of a fixation with Dickerson). We made Castillo work early, didn't make much difference.

strike out pitch to Parker really was not a good pitch, way too much of the plate, but Parker couldn't find it. They can't hit the split, they can't hit the FB.

yup, take middle/middle then swing at 2 ft wide. So there seem to be a couple of theories I guess. One is, sit fast or slow and if you get the other, tough luck. The other is take slow to the pull side, take the FB oppo. When Torkeslson is good, that is what he is doing (like the double Sunday) - and it's what Cabrera did a lot of his career. Seem mostly the. Tigers are doing the former though.

one down, 8 to go.

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.
