Wait, why is the idea of Hinch leaving the Tigers and going to Boston showing up in multiple threads all of a sudden? I do a search on the idea and there is zero coming up about it. Where is this chatter originating?

Even with a Tigers win today, looks like this 1940 World Series grudge match goes to the Reds.

Are you more like afraid A.J. Is going to quit his multi-year contract and leave his two-time playoff team well into fulfilling its plans to become a perennial contender, with some of the best young players in the game due to join the roster in the next few years? Or are you more like hoping A.J. is going to leave?

I can accept the idea that the Reds were so bad during that era that they had to somehow identify the tallest midget to honor, but if it was the steroids era’s fault that they had no choice but to honor a four-plus ERA, at least his ERA+ would be closer to 115 or 120 than 103.

The only two I can ever remember is that UK is 44 and Canada is 1. I also did not realize that Greenland is in Africa. 😉

I don’t think this would be so hard a setup for them to pull off. Maybe the incompetence part here is the inability to get us to believe it is reasonably possible for the Secret Service to not be able to fully secure a single building in Washington DC ahead of the president.

You think this was bad? Cubs-Dodgers is still only in the bottom of the seventh.

They’ve interrupted the Cubs-Dodgers game with a Fox News Alert. Surprised they’re not cutting into this game. Maybe they think no one is watching this anyway.

With a gunman allowed to get into the building where the President of the United States is, with nobody having any idea whether there are additional shooters in the building as part of a coordinated assassination attempt, with everyone including the President being allowed back into the room that was purportedly targeted for an assassination attempt—there’s no way anyone outside the cult is going to believe this was for real, is there?

He’s going to come back and blame the media for this, isn’t he? The leftist media that hates him and wants him dead, or some such nonsense?

Yes, but even with his walks, which are the most of any starter this year, I seriously doubt it’s going to be enough to cost him his rotation slot already. This was his first horrific start this year. I think he would need at least one more start like this to lose it.

Also, this might serve to relieve him of the responsibility of having to appear in public for the rest of his natural decline.

Trump needs time to slather ketchup on his ear so he can come back and defiantly raise his fist. Should be good for a boost into the mid to high 30s.

That’s true, but also, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, but this is only his first abjectly awful start. He’s been below average within an acceptable range when bad, and fairly decent when good. This one start will not cost him his slot in the rotation.

Bet he’s not.

How so?

Aaron Harang was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame tonight. He was 75-80 with a 4.28 ERA, a 103 ERA+, zero postseason appearances, and one fourth-place Cy Young vote in eight seasons with the team. No further comment.

Tigers radio off by several seconds from the video yet again. I have been assured, though, that the Tigers radio technical team have no way of controlling this. The Reds radio technical team have managed to figure it out, though.

Christ Almighty. Do I have to root for the Cubs tonight??

Is that Dirks on the call for Fox? Sounds like him.

Aw, Jack Flaherty is mad at himself. I got news for you, Jack …

Northwoods might have, too. 😏 I do appreciate the layering in your own post.

Really? Democrats to blame? How? For losing the 2024 election so they could not be in power to stop it? Is that how? 7. 😡 Who's getting blamed for prices
