And i don’t have much more confidence seeing Colt come up lately.

Am I a bad person for being glad that this is a relatively low leverage situation to see Tork come up in?

Wah-ha-ha-ha-ha-howww … that was close

Not me … 😁

Well, ya gotta admit, it’s exciting! You’re not gonna sleep through this!

I think the benchmark is, is he young enough to be your son? And I don’t mean technically, like if you were a father at age 11, I mean, you’re comfortably well into adulthood when he’s born. Then, he’ll always be a kid.

So, how would that work, exactly? Harris calls a team to convince them to trade their starting center fielder to us, leaving them without a starting center fielder?

He might get one more crack at it!

Forget the stupid cycle, how about another jack instead!

Our collective Ding-a Ling!

Who was selling starting major league center fielders?

That’s always going to be a triple for McStinky because they play him so shallow.

I find this hilarious because a deep FM cut Pink Floyd song is featured.

Man, is Riley ever smacking the ball all over the place tonight. The way this game is going we might need some of that later.

Now THAT’S situational hitting by Carpenter! 😃

Dan Dickerson was just a little too amped up on that Kody Clemens home run call.

Taj Bradley can’t be this wild all the time or else he’d be out of a job.

That’s literally almost on the dot!

Me too! Eleven almost on the dot!

That whole summer was no picnic. One day that June I went to Oakland Mall on the day tickets went on sale for Frank Zappa at Meadowbrook Music festival that August. We had to wait outside until Hudson’s opened at 10, and it was already, like, 90. Blessed relief to get inside. I decided to stick around and go to the Abbey Theater across 14 Mile and watch the new Roger Rabbit movie, where more air conditioning ensued. I think it got up to 104 or something that day, too. Is that paragraph 80’s enough for you? 😄

Team record in their starts tells us how the team performed when they pitched. What it doesn’t tell us is how much of that is attributable to them versus the run support and bullpen behind them. But sure, that’s data. 😉

Are you actually concluding that the entirety of our positive record at the time was due to two guys and their win-loss record? Yeah, no sale.

We are simply not in a position where emptying out the top of our system for a couple of guys will get us a ring. If things go as planned we will be at some point. Just not right now.

Sneaky good. I knew he’s been improving but I didn’t know he was this.

Speaking about the organizational arc, I don't think we are as close to peak Tigers as you might think we are, where the right guy makes all the difference. As for last season, we already had the best record in the league at the deadline, with a 106 team wRC+ and the fifth most runs in all of baseball, so pushing all our chips into the middle of the table to acquire a hitter just didn't make sense.
