  1. My guess is SGL is the bulk guy Game 1 and gets sent down to be replaced by Owens game 2. Extra reliever until they activate Olson.
  2. No game yesterday, so why make the move? He can still be backdated to Sunday.
  3. The video is kinda funny if that is out yet. He showed clips of some of the players talking about him and then roasts them in return.
  4. Had to momentarily unblock these to screenshot...
  5. Made a Woo Suk Go joke on Twitter...
  6. Ooooh... does that mean I can listen now?
  7. I should explain a bit more about the Domestic Reserve List. It is the limit of minor leaguers you can have rostered: 165 in the regular season. This started up a few years ago and was actually reduced from 180 to 165 last year, so last year is when things started getting pretty tight. I've got the tigers around 162 right now (but haven't given it a scrub in a while). Players in the majors don't count; players in the minors on the 40 man do count. Players on the minor league 60-Day IL and full season IL do not count, nor do suspended or restricted list players. You can only have 15 players on the minor league 60-Day IL at one time, and the Full Season IL is only for certain surgeries and prohibits a player from certain activities if they are placed on it. Last year, a bulk of the cuts around the draft were low level players or mid level third catchers. There's lots of players many on here haven't heard of who are just taking up spots on rosters who would be released well before the Kreidlers and Workmans of the world are. Also, injuries have a way of making roster crunches work out. There's ways to juggle playing time beyond that.
  8. Probably less now that there aren't semiannual affiliate reshuffles. With Toledo, Erie, and West Michigan more or less locked in, they have less leverage to force the Tigers' hands.
  9. There will have to be a lot of cuts after the draft due to the players assigned to rosters counting against the Domestic Reserve List. I mean Jim Jarvis is getting run at shortstop in Erie. A simple swap there with McGonigle seems a lot better than cutting potential MLB depth.
  10. Anybody else's phone blowing up with texts from people who hadn't heard of Tarik Skubal two hours ago?
  11. Statcast feed on ESPN2 might be worthwhile...
  12. How do you know Langford would have signed for that with the Tigers?
  13. So if Gibson and Parrish leaving started the downfall, can we thank collusion for the run lasting as long as it did?
  14. The premise of these "redraft" hypotheticals assumes players are drafted in order of how good they are and not based on who signals they are willing to sign a deal with the team and where they fit in the bonus pool, and I don't know how how to spread that word.
  15. Not really a pet peeve, but my phone broke yesterday (drowned on a boating day), so I bought a new one from Verizon. Unfortunately, in order to activate the Sim Card, they sent a text to the old broken phone which I had no way of receiving, and I couldn't call Verizon without a functioning phone. So the pet peeve is lack of common sense in authentication techniques.
  16. Blazing Saddles Airplane Anchorman The In Laws (By the way, I could probably just rattle off Mel Brooks movies, but wanted to add some diversity.)
  17. Wherein I point out that taking somebody other than Max Clark in 2023 may have jeopardized McGonigle.

  19. I tested AI a while back with some niche draft rule questions that I knew were wrong in the public domain to see how wrong it was... It failed.
  20. This article drives me nuts. Links to a paywall piece, regurgitates everything behind it, does no reporting. And we wonder why journalism is dying...
  21. Not really framing that right. A lot of these waiver wire pick ups are just attempts to try to slip them through later and keep the player without using a 40 man spot.
  22. I am wondering if they have seen enough of Carlos Hernandez.
  23. Enns is coming up to start Thursday. He has an opt out on July 1, but has pitched pretty well. Interestingly enough, his contract allows him to declare major league free agency after the year, but the Tigers have a multimillion dollar team option they can pick up. It's clear they thought there was something here.
