  1. 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...
  2. Lol....watching the Cubbies while waiting on the Tiger game. The outfield ivy is a gross shade of brown....no growth yet.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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...😅😅
  7. I'm not sure if this is true but it sounds interesting:
  8. 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....
  9. 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.
  10. I like a few songs from the Born to Run album. 10th Avenue Freezeout is one.
  11. And any MAGA moron who questions Bruce's love of our country is an idiot.
  12. 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...
  13. I'm thinking that umpires as bad as Buckner will be exposed and force MLB to demote him.
  14. 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!!
  15. 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...
  16. Impressive road win against a quality opponent.
  17. The Pistons seem to own third quarters. Is it the adjustments the coaches make at halftime?
  18. 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...
  19. MLB TV does great recaps of every game. I'm really enjoying that app, again this season.
  20. They were showing his stats as a professional baseball player. More walks than strikeouts. Every season at every level.
  21. McGonigle has taken Detroit, and the baseball world, by storm. So....is he gonna hit .400? 😁😁
  22. They brought in a leftie to face him. Thats showing respect. Left on left hit...unreal.
  23. A story book start for the young man.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
