  1. If they went Jobe and Mize tomorrow, who would start next Thursday?
  2. The Tigers have gotten really good at syncing their 6th starter up with double headers. Starting Montero Monday was a stroke of genius.
  3. Bailey Horn was sent down yesterday per the transaction logs. Chafin time? Balazovic?
  4. Found one: Bret De Geus in 2021 was claimed off waivers before he could be returned.
  5. I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you said the tigers hadn't had anybody returned lately. I can dig up examples of waiver claims. Off the top of my head Spurling was acquired in spring training.
  6. Happened with Will Vest. Also guys are traded all the time the day of the draft.
  7. No. He can still be traded in DFA Limbo. He goes through waivers and other teams have a chance to claim him. Whether acquired by trade or by waiver claim, the Rule 5 restrictions apply. If he clears waivers, the Cubs can't outright him to the minors without first offering him to the Tigers for $50k. Given the Tigers cut a AAA position player yesterday, i have a feeling they are optimistic they may be getting him back. If he returns to the Tigers, he has no such restrictions.
  8. If he wants too much, take the comp pick and develop more Skubals. If the Tigers stay revenue sharing recipients, you are talking 3 of the top 35 picks or so in 2027.
  9. Even though tallow has a higher flash point than most oils, I am very hesitant to just swap oils without much thought for fire safety reasons.
  10. What's the deal with this tallow movement among the MAGA's?
  11. Google's AI is using this post to feed their AI, it appears.
  12. Somebody I know does and says awful and vile things when he drinks a lot. I told friends last year I don't want to be around him if he's around and drinking... so they just stopped inviting me to stuff instead of addressing his toxic alcoholism.
  13. Same applies to engineers who never got below an A in a math class.
  14. Coaching and playing are two completely different deals. Signed, a great engineer who admits to flailing when being asked to lead engineers.
  15. Not sure what the bullpen depth need will going forward, but Vanasco and Guenther have been activated from the IL by Toledo this week.
  16. May 26... Not sure where they got the 22nd, but opening day was March 27 and you can't backdate 60-day IL placements.
  17. What's crazy about the last few months... Some people thought I was exaggerating how bad this was going to be in November. I underestimated to a huge degree the amount of harm that would be done.
  18. Brewers going with the McCosky All Stars tonight on the mound... Is Rony Garcia next?
  19. Good thing he didn't get the job when Harris did, eh? Or the GM job when Greenberg was brought it.
  20. I have a friend who is overweight. She knows it. I am pretty open about my prediabetes (recently upgraded to mild type 2) and was at her house for a cookout a couple years ago, but because it was burgers and Mac and cheese I said I would come out but eat at home. She said something about how she was trying to lose weight and was using organic ground beef for the burgers thinking that would help. Somebody else has pushed gluten free food on me (gluten free actually is usually bad for diabetics because whole wheat is replaced by simple carbohydrates). I just don't think people have a fundamental understanding of nutrition and buy into the buzzwords out there. Anyways, I like to cook and like to exercise, so there are worse afflictions to have...
  21. Diet culture is also pretty much a scam. If you want to lose weight and not be obese, eat less. period. But eating less is bad for business, so they throw labels like organic on things or concoct these crazy diets that don't work when the simple answer is to eat at a calorie deficit.
  22. Was Trump at Mara Lago this weekend? In Jacksonville Beach around 11am or so, I thought I saw a plane getting a military escort going north way up in the sky.
  23. Starting to think this team could run away with the division.
  24. One more rumination on the Menzin thing. I stand by some of my suspicions before we got the reason that he was somewhat being cast aside. Sartori's current role seems very similar to the one he held for a while; had been cast aside to special projects. I have long suspected that people who start engaging in inappropriate workplace behavior also have their judgment clouded in other areas and performance declines. I bet some of that was going on before this bubbled up to the surface.
