Haase appears to be one of those guys who, if you give him 250 at bats throughout a season, you can get a lot of value from him, but if you make him an everyday player, you consistently see all the things he can't do.

Ah, you mean I would have gotten a like from @CMRivdogs if I had announced my ignore add? Ah, lost opportunity ...

Devil's Advocate might say in reply: if you get a breakthrough case that's asymptomatic and you go unmasked around immunocompromised people who are vaxxed, you risk infecting them. It may not be fair to ask such people to cloister themselves at home 24/7 just so people can engage in unsafe social behavior.

I’m gonna say this just once, Bunker: you have no idea who “my guy” is, or what “my political party” is. You know nothing about me. After all, you’re new to this group. Aren’t you? So how can you know? You obviously need to pigeonhole people here into the democrat operative box for your weak, lazy, ad hominem-based narrative, because that’s the only defense you can muster for Trump in the face of the overwhelming incontrovertible evidence of just how truly terrible a human being, never mind president, that he was. He has wreaked incalculable damage to our country which we are going to spend the rest of my and your lifetime cleaning up—if we’re lucky. Since you have no interest discussion any of this in terms reasonable people do, I have no interest in engaging in any gainsaying games. I’m done with this.

I don’t care about the money. I care about the years. So whether they sign a player like Semien for 4/60 or 4/120 doesn’t matter, except for the four years. I wouldn’t want to give Semien four years, let alone more. He has never strung together even two really good seasons in a row that might warrant four years for his ages 31-34 at the kind of money Wasserman will demand and get.

My buddy lives in Tampa, and if they face the Dodgers or Giants in the Series, the plan is go to Tampa, see the Stones on Friday night, and Rays-NL on Saturday night. So that’s what I am rooting for. We’re also rooting for afternoon games for Astros-White Sox this Saturday and Braves-Brewers on Sunday, because he’ll come up and we’ll see those. That’s my skin in this game.

I guess there’s a reason he was a four-year rookie this year. I hope he savored every moment of this season. If he can turn a phrase, maybe he can write an inspiration book about it.

Hey, good one! It costs nothing to be wildly optimistic!

You are defending Trump on this very page. And Trump is a shameless liar, something that is also well-documented across four-plus decades. Anytime anyone presents what he says at face value as evidence, they are either being willfully ignorant, or being truly ignorant, and neither one of those is a good look. And be assured, we see you.

Assuming I guess Haase doesn’t turn into a pumpkin next year.

He has a humongous platoon split which makes that a bit of a problem. He hits southpaws like a decent-hitting pitcher hits. I’d afraid that might infect the rest of his batting game.

Many at the Capitol were causing violence. Many did break windows and go through broken windows to go in. Many of the people you’re trying to excuse participated in this. Stop excusing these people. Also, stop excusing this entire incident. You can’t have thousands of angry people egged on to converge on the Capitol without violence and bloodshed. Bad apples will always show up and poison the barrel. They can turn otherwise ordinary people who wouldn’t go out of their way to hurt others into bloodthirsty animals because the opportunity is being presented to them in a highly-impassioned group setting. That’s exactly how lynchings worked.

This is nuts. Nothing about Trump is peaceful or patriotic. He is all about creating chaos and undermining America. His voluminous record on this account speaks for itself. And every reasonable person can easily see that Trump worked as hard as his imagination would allow him to destroy the peaceful transfer of power. So get out of here with this garbage. We’re not a Facebook group here.

Serves her right. She knew Loyalty St. was one way when she turned down it.

Barring a big FA hitter signing, I could see Grossman-Candy-Greene-Tork-Miggy. I’m leaning toward Baddoo takes a step back in spring.

Looking beyond the Tigers just for a minute: Yankees need to lose two to Tampa, Boston needs to split with Washington, Seattle has to win two from the Angels, and Toronto has to win two from Baltimore. If that happens, there’s a four-way tie for two wild card spots.

I took his use of the word “retired” at face value. I also think it unlikely they just eat tens of millions of dollars and cut a future Hall of Famer who’s expected to wear the hat there.

I will never understand how people can honestly believe that Miggy is going to simply retire early and forfeit his remaining dollars for the good of the Tiger organization.

Seriously, how does one cosplaying guy with a sword overpower several presumably-armed special ops soldiers?

Not necessary.
