  1. Good warning. I'll just call the rookie ..Kevin. or "The Kid." But not KMac....some people don't like that, either and can't hide their outrage...😅😅
  2. I'm not sure if this is true but it sounds interesting:
  3. Probably not. But umpires like Buckner are going to be shown up, on TV, for the whole baseball world to see. And once word gets around, more players will challenge every borderline call he makes. His credibility will be shot....
  4. Thats exactly why I have a problem with Buckner's terminology. Both times, he said "batter challenging the pitch." No, the batter was challenging the call. Which Buckner got wrong, all 6 challenges in that game.
  5. I like a few songs from the Born to Run album. 10th Avenue Freezeout is one.
  6. And any MAGA moron who questions Bruce's love of our country is an idiot.
  7. Yeah, I get that. But nothing stops MLB to a reassignment to the league offices for the bad umpires. These guys are costing teams games, players success and bottom line....lots of people lots of money...
  8. I'm thinking that umpires as bad as Buckner will be exposed and force MLB to demote him.
  9. Buckner is a bad umpire who should be fired. He had 6 calls overturned by ABS!! Probably several more that were8 missed. A horrible umpire. And watching that video? Twice Buckner says batter challenging the pitch. No, he isn't. He's challenging the call!!
  10. Here comes a future DFA pitcher who is only on the team because he has no options. They had to leave a deserving guy in Toledo for this pickup. Seabold? Really? How about Morton? Or Paddack? About the same...
  11. Impressive road win against a quality opponent.
  12. The Pistons seem to own third quarters. Is it the adjustments the coaches make at halftime?
  13. Agreed. And Cade as an MVP? To me, an MVP is a player a team can't win without. And the Pistons have a 9-3 record without Cade. He's a very important part of our team but we're not dependent on any one (or 2, 3 or 4) player(s) to win. Credit has to go to our coaching staff...
  14. MLB TV does great recaps of every game. I'm really enjoying that app, again this season.
  15. They were showing his stats as a professional baseball player. More walks than strikeouts. Every season at every level.
  16. McGonigle has taken Detroit, and the baseball world, by storm. So....is he gonna hit .400? 😁😁
  17. They brought in a leftie to face him. Thats showing respect. Left on left hit...unreal.
  18. A story book start for the young man.
  19. Miggy...Gibby? Those are parts of their names and easy to say and spell. Any more that a 5 letter name for a great player deserves a nickname. Whether it's a part of their name or not.
  20. I get a kick outta people trying to guess who Brad will draft. Has anyone ever been right? Early picks are much, much easier to guess. But late picks? Yeah, good luck with that.
  21. True...probably better than hacking his name trying to spell it. I guess...kid? Or Kevin? Speeling is my weekness...😆
  22. I just saw this on that network. And today's Free Press was all over KMac's debut. This kid has a quick compact swing that is going to play very well for years...
  23. And I love the aggressiveness. People look at the stolen base stats and decide the Tigers aren't a good base running team, with no speed. Totally wrong, we were among the leaders in all of baseball going 1st to 3rd last season. Taking that extra base will help win a lot of games. Just live with occasionally being thrown out. .
  24. Great memories.....my brother and I were at that game. We froze our tails off, even though we were "well lubricated." 😁
  25. He almost learned a hard lesson on his 2nd double, coming very close to being thrown out. Hey kid, that's not a AA rightfielder, thats an MLB All Star....😆😆
