    Willi Castro has been sneaky decent this year. A lot of ink has been spilled on Candelario, but I probably would have held onto Willi if I had my drothers.

    GM has been #2 in command in most orgs for a while. That was always going to be the case. Title inflation doing its thing. I'm curious if there are other moves and departures. His background/expertise is pretty similar to Menzin's (By the way, I got the feeling he was pretty much the shadow GM toward the end of Avila's tenure).

    This is not really meant to be snide, but meant to be more pondery food for thought. How can y'all be in a position to judge the job Scott Harris has done when you don't even know who Brenan Hanifee is?

    Former 4th round pick of the Orioles. One of the first minor league free agents the Tigers jumped on last year (usually a sign he was a priority). Had TJ surgery in May 2021 and got back late last season, so was still kinda on the rebound over the course of this year. I wonder if this means they planned on protecting him this offseason.

    Twitter allows me to deep dive some really niche topics I can't anywhere else. I won't pay for it though, and I would probably use it less if blocks went away.

    Grade 3 sprain or strain
  7. Edman85
    Ligament* Ligaments connect bone to bone and a tear is called a sprain. Tendons connect bone to muscle and a tear is called a strain.
  8. Edman85
    Well it is a sprain, so it is likely UCL. Could be another ligament, but you don't sprain muscles or tendons. Probably an issue of degree and if it is minor enough that an internal brace would work. The timeline is shorter for most position players, so I doubt it kills too much of next season. Especially now that the albatross DH is gone.

    People just aren't good at math. They think all fractions above zero are the same. They also don't understand exponentials and the role that plays in viruses spreading. (Or time value of money, but that is a separate issue)

    For me, I might have an underlying condition (prediabeetus) that could make me vulnerable. Current strains are weak, but who knows if a stronger one comes? People are still getting hit with long covid and this reduces the chance. Plus the inconvenience factor. If this even reduces my chance of catching covid by 20%, that is 20% less likely that I will have my schedule disrupted one week.

    My dad got shingles shot and covid booster around the same time a couple years ago and was a zombie at Thanksgiving. I may recommend spacing those two out if you can just based on that.

    They were letting the Title IX process play out. It is true, but that is a distortion. The school's Title IX department handled it, but the Athletic Department was separate until the hearing per the policies.

    Gotta give him or his people credit for at least realizing that pandering to midwestern union types was a successful 2016 strategy.
  14. Edman85
    I can't think of many scandals at my school on this front. There were some football players in the 2016 timeframe who were quickly booted from the team after an incident in this regard. A women's basketball coach in the 90's was fired after there were rumored sex parties involving players at her house. There's been a couple pervy faculty members, and the person who replaced bin Laden on the Most Wanted List was a graduate; not involved in sports, but a bad bad teacher.

    Yeah, but they can sell more luxury suites, which is almost always the reason for stadium upgrades/new stadiums.

    #NotALawyer but... Wouldn't the statement Mel put out last week be cause for termination on its own?
  17. Edman85
    He threw like 130 or so in the no-no, right?

    I'm getting both next Friday. I really didn't want to wait on either. There's a lot of Rona going around now.

    I have an appointment to get mine next Friday (Flu too). Will let you know if this is just bluster or if there's anything in place that may keep CVS from jabbing me. Luckily, I can get to Georgia in about 45 minutes if I need to.

    Not as much as max out fastballs...

    Matt House is an MSU alum. Sean Lewis was on my short list when Purdue was looking last year and two games into his Colorado tenure, his stock has only gone way up.

    You thought major league scorekeepers were bad... I wouldn't use errors as a judge of minor league defense at all.
  24. Edman85
    Urban won't go well in this player empowerment, transfer portal era. As soon as he ran into a group in Jacksonville he couldn't control, it turned into a raging tire fire. He can't bully players into doing his own thing anymore. It would be a disaster.

    James Buchanan was the first gay president.
