This is what I am wondering, too. How convenient it is for RW narrative. I can’t believe Tucker had no idea he was going to say it. Well, the BLM ain’t having any of it.

More than social media anymore? So many people are becoming estranged from their families because of their radicalization by online sources.

And here we are debating the etiquette of how two openly-armed shooters in a civil setting should respond to each other. Ain’t that America.

I know, right? Signs up for a forum about Detroit sports and immediately starts dropping bomb after bomb in the political forum, and not a thing in the sports part.

You can tell them all the "patriotic" things they are parroting are coming straight out of Beijing or Tehran or St Petersburg, but it doesn't matter, because it already triggers what they believe, and that's the important part. Besides, these Trump people like today's Russia better than today's America anyway.

And China. And Iran. And Cuba. And eastern Europe. And anyone else with an interest in destroying democracy.

He thought he'd be a hero. They all think they'll be heroes.

MotownForums doesn't care! 😂

After this trial, I wouldn't blame people for not giving a shit about the law.

I can see how someone could interpret "ultimately" as feeling like "many years from now" versus "a couple years from now".

You probably won't be, junior.

Six years is an entire generation from now. And at age 23 he still might not be ready! So I would characterize that as “remote”.

We don't have anything remotely like that, which is why I didn't bother offering it up as a contingency.

If you've ever played OOTP, you'd know those guys wouldn't take crazy team-friendly offers in that video game, either.

Not only that, but the team is at the point where we should not be filling the most critical need we have with any player for only a year or two.

If we were to give Correa early opt-outs, how good would he have to do to beat a $32MM or so AAV on the remaining seven or eight or six or whatever years? If he has a few 5- or even 6-win seasons—a WAR level he has yet to exceed in this, his likely career peak—will there be teams lining up to give him yet another 8-10 years at $40MM or so AAV? That seems really unlikely to me. I gotta believe that if we sign Correa to 10/3XX, he's going to be ours all the way to the end. For more better than worse, hopefully.

This is especially true since three of our projected starters profile as being in the bottom quintile of K%. If we're going to rely on pitch-to-contact guys for a third or more of our innings, we need guys out there who can pick it.

It's understandable that people be concerned about Story's Coors/road split, but FWIW, I have seen articles with research concluding that once a hitter leaves the Rockies, his home-road splits stabilize some and his overall performance is not as bad as his road splits as a Rockie (Rocky?) would suggest they would be. Which makes sense to me: as a Rockie, you play half your games in this extreme environment and half outside it. But even more crucially, throughout the season, you will play a string of games in the most extreme environment, then go play a string of games in non-extreme environments, and basically as soon as you figure out how to adjust to that, you're right back home in the extreme environment. But once you move to another team, your home and road environments are likely to be similar or even alike, so you don't have to go through constant back-and-forth adjustments all season long. This specific environmental factor becomes a problem only once you go to Denver as a visitor, and as a Tiger, that'll happen maybe, what, once in six years, tops? So the Coors Effect, such as it is, shouldn't be a problem at all if we sign him.

No one is paying $250 million for Baez.

It can't be said enough: every nefarious thing right-wing leaders accuse the Democrats of planning to do, they themselves attempt to do. Their projection is so 101, no sentient adult can miss it. Now, what was it Michael Flynn is accusing the Democrats of planning to do, again?

Jacobson v Massachusetts.

Reads like a call to arms, to me.

They always probably were like that and Trump just made it OK to be public about it.
