"Being a Harris lackey". "Lackey" is a pejorative name. I did not call you any kind of name at all, and certainly nothing like this. Please, just stop already.

Except it's the 28th batter who will get us.

Oyler also had an on base of .213 and a slug of .186. So, Tork is a better hitter than Ray Oyler was.

These “icons” are about as big as computer icons.

I know they can’t help themselves, and they might even be calculating that promoting this will drive turnout in their favor. But I wish they wouldn’t publicize this course of action, because all it will do is make the MAGA regime so desperate they will try literally anything and everything to stop it. This is life or death for the Trump people. They’re not going to just sit back and allow a free and fair election to jeopardize their freedom.

What was this? It’s coming up blank.

Which court?

“All but dead” is not dead and buried. I can’t imagine that this is the last we will hear of this.

I can’t imagine that the Texas state government will not work with the Trump government and the state and federal courts to throw every barrier they can brainstorm up to keep people in Democratic and swing precincts from voting.

Can I just tell you how funny i find it that people to this day still think of New York City as being the gold standard of “murder cities”? As if we’re still living in the era of Death Wish, Taxi Driver, and The Warriors. But not only does New York City rank no higher than 127th in murder rate, but its murder rate is actually -24% lower than that of Warren, Michigan! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

We always knew it would come to this. And we know it won’t stop there. Gulags were filled to overflowing with ordinary people like those who make up your neighbors.

Just checking in to see whether the fall has happened yet?

I didn’t call you any names. It’s uncool.

No need to get personal here. That said, your characterization is lazy.

Unless you already know, I would guess that catch rated as a 4-star.

I think I’d be surprised if Tork went anywhere else and became a perennial All-Star. He just seems resistant to coaching to me. No evidence that could stand up in court, just a strong feeling.

I guess the other thing I might add here is that it’s not as though xBA and catch probability are randomly correlated. It might not be 1:1 necessarily, but I would bet there is a fairly strong statistical correlation between them. Maybe I’ll look for that sometime.

I think Tork has value, but he’s a guy another team is going to have to ask about, rather than Harris shopping him around, to get much more than a lottery ticket for him.

The other main difference is that xBA was easily available to me for the play, and catch probability was not. 😁

Ask Sports Freak. He’s shopping for center fielders. He might end up with a gimpy utility guy instead. 😁

Maybe we can pick one up on Amazon Prime Day next month! 😉

xBA on that hit was .380, but that's probably also in part because it would have been a homer in seven other parks.

Throw in Carlos Cabrera and you got a deal! No ... wait ... uhh ...

We don't need wins at Toledo. Besides, I don't think we'd be in a hurry to trade a perfectly good young league-average who's controllable through 2030. I can see why you'd like that, though.
