This is what I remember.

Can I just add here that I really struggle to understand how so many fans here can regard Tork as an above average first baseman, when literally all the fielding metrics show him to be near the bottom of the heap. Even fielding percentage, the stat that reflects what I guess people love about him, the scoops of throws, have him in the bottom third of the league year after year. My personal eye test shows him to be a statue at first base on balls hit to him and the owner of one of the weakest arms in the league when it comes to turn around the relay to home. But sure, he can scoop a throw now and then.

Good one. Maybe Riley will find a spot in the Players' after he retires from his won 12-win career.

Speaking of which how many of us miss the pizza celly after homers? 😝 Or maybe they are still doing it and I haven't noticed, since the team isn't doing much in the way of hitting homers ...

I think it was last year when I really noticed just how dead-eyed Riley Greene is—like, totally vacant, nothing there. I don't know whether that is related to whatever his level of drive for the game is, but even setting that aside as a concept, nothing he has shown me has demonstrated that he has much drive to excel. He strikes me as somewhat of a clock-puncher. Of course, all Riley has to do is repeat 2024 a few times and no one will give the slightest crap how dead his eyes are.

Neither am I, but we can still speculate on it! 😃

To his point, Colt has a future and Carp really doesn’t, so if Hinch always sits Colt against LHPs, he better be darn sure Colt’ll never ever hit them, because it’s going to limit what we’ll be able to get from Colt during his career; and also, last night was the second time in three games we got hamstrung having Jahmai bat against a RHP late after pinching for Colt at DH earlier. He struck out swinging both times. We risk that becoming a potential game-plan by opponents. Fun fact: Colt had a better OPS+ against LHPs than RHPs in 2024.

😉

I don’t see Tork with a long term future here at all, and Riley is 50-50 at best. Our best hope to get anything out of Tork is a trade with the Angels.

Awww, maaan …

All right, one on, one out, one in, tying run at the plate! Let’s go! It’s the freakin’ Twins, for cry eye!

Ah, well …

All right, two on, no out, tying run at the plate! Let’s go! It’s the freakin’ Twins, for cry eye!

I did not know professional hitters swung on 3-and-0.

Glad to see that Skoobs isn’t all about the blue jerseys.

Fun fact: as much as the Tigers are sucking eggs right in front of our very eyes, they are still the only team in the Central with a positive run differential.

This may not be a good time to have all your money in electronic access only.

They may be not taking Trump either literally or seriously.

Yes, and also, a whole bunch of people welcome it because they believe this is fulfilling their scripture in order to bring their savior back to earth, and they continue to support Trump for that specific reason.

NBC does baseball way better than Fox or ESPN, never mind the regionals.

Benetti and Dirks are fine tonight, pretty much on point all game, although it might be because it’s a fairly close game and there’s every pitch to talk about during those.

It's happening right under our noses, and we are too obsessed with the cat pointer to notice it.

I have two accounts, one for baseball, one for politics, and I have cleaned the magats out of my political feed and don't have to encounter them. Some may say that's merely wrapping myself in bubble wrap to protect my snowflake sensibilities from alternative points of view. Me, I view it as simply avoiding people who throw bombs for kicks.

By the way, here is how the red-pilled media are reporting the massive cuts to programs for people: Yup ... funded "partly" by "trimming" "certain" "healthcare programs". Meaning double digit cuts to "certain healthcare programs" like commerce, housing, interior, agriculture, labor, and diplomacy. Apparently we have an endless budget for death, but we simply can't afford life.

While we are wasting our time chasing around cat pointer stories like Kristi Noem's husbands boobs and FEMA officials teleporting to waffle houses ...
