Johnny Grubb, the sweetest swing in baseball

2025 3.85 era and fip. And it brings home JV. Icing on the SP rotation cake and I dig it!

We all root in different ways - how boring would life be if everyone thought the same way! I tune out anyone who leaves via free agency - Grant Hill, Alan Houston, Morris, Parish, Gibby. But if a player gets traded, sometimes I still follow. I was happy for Stafford when he won a SB. That's since faded, and ultimately he is part of the enemy now. And I watched every game that JV pitched in Houston in 2017, and I was glad to see him get that ring. It's faded since 'bang a gong' was revealed. I followed LeFlore after he was dealt for Shatzeder. I played high school basketball with Loy Vaught, and followed him closely during his non Pistons years. I even often choose a New York slice over a Detroit style slice. Exceptions - I will loathe anyone that playes for the Yankees, Dodgers or Red Sox, regardless of Detroit bloodlines.

He threw even more gambler-friendly pitches than what's reported, but Javy swung at them.

Didn't see that coming! Like it a lot!

Skubal for Sasaki rumors popping up again, mostly on Dodgers sites. That's the one name that intrigues me. Still much unknown. But you get 6 years. I don't think Detroit did enough to win it all with Skubal this year. I don't want to see him go. I'll be angry if he goes. But if Sasaki comes here in return, it would soften the blow for me.

Who remains? Willie, Denny, Mickey Stanley? Very sad day

So sad to hear of Mickey's passing. After Kaline retired Mickey was my favorite Tiger

Because he's overseen them go from 14 wins to the top of the East in 2 years

Don't see how this helps Detroit, but I have trust in Trajan

So who will be this week's milb fa signing?

Bowling was on tv every Sunday iirc. And yes, the only guy I remember was Earl Anthony

1973 I had an OJ jersey

MLB could try a different approach, aka the Tanya Harding method

LeFlore held his own, iirc. I recall Jim Longberg winning cycling and he rode a bike that was beyond extra tall
