The more these people make it look like they’re being attacked, the more they can justify extreme actions to contain the “attackers”.

Manning may have been showing one of those flashes the one time one of Avila’s eyeball scouts saw him throw in a game.

That’s why I try to hang out with people in their 30s. I can’t talk about this with them!

That’s something that an antitrust exemption allows: force a proprietor to divest himself of his property.

They haven’t mentioned that to me, but my next elder brother had it last spring, and he has experienced all kinds of complications. Still is. I feel so bad for him.

There is no way this kid took Vlad by surprise. Vlad knows who Jobe is, Vlad wanted to hit him, and Vlad couldn’t. You’re right. There’s no way you send that talent back to Toledo.

It is never not ironic. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, all that. Something else to keep in mind is “feature, not bug.”

I have no problem with anyone who runs the game thread. I can always “show this post” if I want to see it.

I had three surgeries on my right knee between 2013 and 2018. The first was a meniscus repair; the second an ACL repair; and the most recent a combination ACL repair/meniscectomy. I PT’ed the knee each time like it’s my job, and now my knee feels great, if not 100%. No pain, but every once in a while, I’ll move in such a way that I am reminded how easy it would be to reoffend.

Are you additionally chalking this up to coaching doesn’t know what they’re doing, or pitcher isn’t good enough to save?

From the Department of It Figures.

If he’s that late, he’s pulled that pitch. 😉

I saw Javi jack a bomb!

Gotta do it before Boras demands his 7/300 contract.

Got Baez at DH today. He needs to get as much trigger time as in the next few days against hooks so we know whether to keep him or dump him.

3/9/25 !:05PM Pirates @ Tigers Oh, that’s right, gotta change my clocks …

This was five or six months into PT for my first ACL repair, so Athletico was a current t-shirt at the time. Long ago donated by now.

And MAGA weaponized DEI for their purposes to mean something else. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive concepts.

I guess there’s some chance that Trump knows that. 😏

I love love love this kid. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2025/03/08/detroit-tigers-score-game-recap-toronto-blue-jays-jackson-jobe/82054509007/ After Saturday's start, Jobe explained why he approached the Guerrero matchup with three consecutive fastballs. "I'm done with trying to dot a gnat's ass," Jobe said. "Just, here's my stuff. If you hit it, good. Odds are, probably not."

We won’t have a regular season thread for almost three weeks, so I’m posting this here: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2025/03/09/detroit-tigers-red-wings-to-air-15-games-on-local-tv-in-2025-full-schedule/82065628007/ Ten Tigers games running on channel 2.1, which is full circle for me, since when I first became a fan in 1969, the Tigers aired on channel 2, called by George Kell and Larry Osterman. It does make some business sense to move games to, or at least simulcast some games on, broadcast TV as well. If they place the local team behind a paywall such that no one can ever see them unless they pony up the bucks upfront, then how can they spur interest and create new fans for the game? Except through the gambling, of course, which has been Baseball’s growth strategy for a few years now, and the new people that brings in aren’t really fans of the game. The White Sox will have all their games on broadcast TV here in Big Shoulders, too. Their new Chicago Sports Channel home simulcasts completely on channel 62.2, mainly because they don’t have clearance on Comcast as of yet. Make fun on the White Sox all you like—and we do like—but that won’t hurt their visibility. I wish the Cubs would follow suit with a few games back on GN, too. I would bet most teams will in the next few years.

Not surprising. We all knew this one was coming.

Hope you’re right. Hope it’s not something that will make us wish it was about the economy instead.

DEI is something more, maybe even something other, to Trump and the red hats than just specific examples of race-based employment directives. “DEI” is basically a way for them to drop n-bombs without being forced to explain themselves afterwards.
