    He's in rookie ball. He's toast.

    It is possible Lawler and Mayer told the Tigers to f off when they tried negotiating terms.

    This is a pretty universal thing, not just Tigers-specific. Even powerhouses like the Dodgers have guys improve from private instruction.

    This depends on the revenue sharing model.

    From Forbes data: 2021 was the most profitable year in recent history (I have the data back to the 2000's in a sheet somewhere and it is the most in that time). 2020 was a loss, but it was for everybody. That 2019 stinker was the next highest, they profited in 2018, were in the red in 16 and 17, and you can see the contending period before that. I anticipate this year being pretty solid. New local and national TV deals will pump more money that will offset the money that was lit on fire in free agency.

    It is exactly this. The team has never been more profitable. "Winter for Poland and Fraaaaance"

    Huell?

    Went down the dramedy path a bit, didn't it

    The Apple broadcasts are terrible. Pink hair nose ring lady for one, then Katie Nolan in the other crew has no business doing baseball. Throw in the bogus probabilities they flash on the screen and it's... well, at least I was able to knock out Ted Lasso. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/how-good-are-those-probabilities-on-the-apple-tv-broadcasts/ https://blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-wild-episode-1853-what-are-the-odds/

    We have a winner.

    You can only control a reliever as long as his arm is intact. I would be open to dealing Lange, Foley, and Soto too. "Team control" be damned. Cisnero and Funkhouser weren't dealt last year because they had years of control left.

    Shep is terrible, not sure he's the worst, but I don't watch a lot of other broadcasts. It does sound like the Angels broadcasts have been a struggle this year. I do watch some White Sox broadcasts and to put Benetti among the worst is laughable.

    Not important enough for me to dig up, but I'd like a fact check on that NJ Tax Break citation. The tweet saying "RT if..." doesn't exactly pass my credibility smell test.

    Inflation Reduction Act has to be one of the most disingenuous named bills in congress since the Save America's Pasttime Act.

    Rutgers was probably able to top their bonus offer.
  16. Edman85
    Wait, so other teams' pitchers have setbacks?

    FYI: There are six lottery picks, but the worst six teams don't necessarily get lottery picks. Beyond that, your odds don't get any better beyond being in the worst three.

    But but but... the Twitter Pitch Forks for suppressing his service time!

    Neither you, me, nor the author of that billboard is on the grand jury. it's up to them. Like it or not, this dipshit has Constitutional rights too. Things like this only put up barriers for the prosecution.

    Elvis Alvarado was promoted from West Michigan to Erie. This is a bit overdue. As a refresher, he's a converted outfielder, now a reliever who has some heat. The Tigers popped him in the Rule 5 draft this year. I believe he is free agent eligible after the year, so as he has been pitching very well in Lakeland and West Michigan, it makes sense to see if he can stick in Erie.

    BA's transaction log has Michael Mariot and Jake Robson released. I haven't seen anything on the MILB pages, but they haven't appeared in a game in a while.

    In fairness the Reds infield prospect depth makes this not the best example in the world.
  23. Edman85
    Yep, and I don't quite buy into the groupthink around how disastrous that is.
  24. Edman85
    Maybe I should save the invective for the political board, but we find out Thursday who gets put on the Dumbass List for the Tigers.

    I don't see why shopping Skubal is an issue.
