  1. No no no no, you’re getting this all wrong. When confronted with iniquities, whether it’s Jay Jones on the Democratic side or the hundreds and hundreds on the Republican side, you double down, double down, and then double down some more. That’s the only thing your adversaries respect. Otherwise they just roll their eyes and regard you as a 😉
  2. Quoting bible verses in defense of cruelty to the least of our brothers just goes to show how American evangelicals have bankrupted the core message of Christianity.
  3. Joe Davis just referred to Shohei Ohtani as “the greatest player to ever play this game.” Do you agree?
  4. Tell us the trade you think should have happened that we didn’t make happen.
  5. That’s because he’s a unicorn.
  6. You have the best 20-20 hindsight of anyone I know. 😉
  7. Yes, because he’s getting more than five years and he’s getting more than 225 Ms. I understand what youre trying to say, but ”highest paid” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your post, since Gerrit Cole was guaranteed $100 million more than your offer.
  8. And it's good that Boras is that kind of guy because that's what Skubal hired him for. But I don't see the Tigers making the first offer to Boras. And even if we did, I doubt we would waste our time and energy making it only 6/240.
  9. What does Hey Man mean by "gap"? I'm paywalled out of the story. EDIT: Sorry, I just now caught up to the MLBTR story. I'm not sure how much I would trust Hey Man on this.
  10. This is true in a micro sense. In a macro sense, the persistent and consistent strategy of trading prospects for established veterans comes back to haunt.
  11. As much sense as this makes, the risk here is that the Tigers look desperate and take pennies on the dollar for Skubal—classic Avila move. This scenario would really test Harris's negotiation mettle.
  12. Everyone knows Skubal will say no to this—same way everyone knew Correa would say no to Avila's 10/275 offer—so, don't even bother.
  13. Insight of the day. Well, insight of Wednesday, anyway. But yeah, good one.
  14. The known unknown here is whether Alex Verdugo would have put up closer to Mookie numbers had he stayed in LA. When it comes to production, what organization you're in, and their developmental and deployment philosophies, matter a lot.
  15. You'd think the team that would go 9/214 on Prince Fielder and 8/248 on the rotting corpse of Miggy Cabrera could go 10/475 for 30-year-old already-Tommy-Johned Tarik Skubal, wouldn't you?
  16. There are some pretty good guys on the market this winter. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us take a competitive run at Dylan Cease.
  17. Kind of like the first three months of this season? I don’t think that’s the last time we’ll feel that about the Harris Tigers.
  18. I’m excited by this team because we are building it from within rather than from without. I like that aspect of it.
  19. Nice performative dive by Barger on a ball he could have pretty easily caught standing up. Can’t blame him—it gets him lots of love from media and fans who don’t quite notice it.
  20. I don’t necessarily buy #3, especially if we win a pennant with him in the driver’s seat.
  21. I can’t see that.
  22. Max A crushed it when it came to assists and putouts per game, with only two errors in 185 innings, or about MLB average.
  23. True, they had two World Series and four consecutive playoff appearances. We’d never had that before. I will also say I was never as excited for the future at any point with that team as I am with this one.
  24. Maybe, but Bill Gates did not intentionally starve his business for her. Come on.
  25. People don’t remember this, but Tucker got off to an all-world start this year, which really helped his final numbers. He also missed almost all of September with a calf strain, which would make me a little nervous if we signed him.
