  1. McGonigle was given a hit on his groundball to 1st base that knocked in Jake? Shouldn't it have been a fielders choice? Or...it would have been if the 1st baseman threw home?
  2. Pistons are 6-2 since Cade got hurt....7-2 if you count the game he got hurt, he only played a few minutes in that one.
  3. Magic number is two to win the East.
  4. A lot of fans didnt like Mario and Rod but this is excellent announcing;
  5. Toronto had a lane violation on one of their free throws, nullifying it. Does that go down as a missed free throw?
  6. Smart move. Against a RH starter too.
  7. Either...or. A few less calls against us ends up the same thing. And yes, just making the FTs that were called definitely would have won the game for us. But even with the missed free throws, a couple of calls going the other way ends up with the exact same result. A winnable game...and Boston lost. I guess that's our saving grace, another game off the magic number.
  8. I guess so. Just last night, SGA had 25 free throws. The entire Piston team had 23 free throws. That's the ballgame right there.
  9. I saw the centerfielder missing those balls he lost in the sunlight. I've seen a fielder lose a ball in the sun before...but twice? I dont remember ever seeing that. And correct...little leaguer.
  10. When Skubal and Valdez win in their spots, we need the rest of the rotation to...Win...One....Game. That would put our winning % at .600. 97 wins on the season. See how simple? Of course, if one of our aces loses, we need 2 wins out of our other 3 pitchers. And if both of our aces lose? Yeah, we're screwed. 😆😆
  11. And why such a large disparity? The home team getting all the calls?
  12. So the Moron in charge of America found money to pay the TSA workers. Good, they deserve to get paid. But my question is...why now? Why didn't he find the money to be paying them all along?
  13. I couldn't stay awake to watch any sports last 😴 night. I made it thru the 1st quarter of the Pistons and then thru the 1st innings of JV. But looking at the box score of the Piston game, the free throw disparity and our terrible % of the calls we DID get looks like it may have been the difference in the game. Overall, a terrible sports night for Detroit fans. 😒😒
  14. Carpenter leading off isn't Himch's best idea. It isn't working. Let's see how stubborn he is by not making a switch. Remember that year he kept leading off Riley? Some nonsense about getting our best hitter more at bats? Silly and stubborn...
  15. Lol....watching the Cubbies while waiting on the Tiger game. The outfield ivy is a gross shade of brown....no growth yet.
  16. Agreed. He was much better than I expected. But even bad pitchers have occasional good outings. I hope the guy is consistent but his previous results aren't real encouraging.
  17. I agree with your top 3. Also, Bosch was really good. As was The Lincoln Lawyer. Both of those shows are based on Michael Connelly books, as is the show Ballard.
  18. It took me 2 weeks but I just watched both seasons of Landman. I really liked the storyline and Billy Bob Thornton is a favorite of mine. It was a very well done job and I look forward to a possible season 3.
  19. 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...😅😅
  20. I'm not sure if this is true but it sounds interesting:
  21. 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....
  22. 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.
  23. I like a few songs from the Born to Run album. 10th Avenue Freezeout is one.
  24. And any MAGA moron who questions Bruce's love of our country is an idiot.
  25. 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...
