Never mind this nonsense, what about Trump grabbing Melania's ass!

It's probably less a matter of whether he could than that Hinch is loath to be without his Swiss Army knife roster.

Dolphins plan to play Kadyn Proctor at left guard

Not a single inch untouched.

I think CF is Vierling and Perez until Baez is back. If you bring up Clark, you are committing to him for the rest of the season, barring him giving the team a reason to demote him.

Today is that day that all of us (even if we don't want to admit it) go in our heads, "Well, if they win the home games, game six is the only huge hurdle." 🙂 Why does my mind do this every single time when this scenario comes up? The Pistons have won three straight games how many times this season? Plenty. The playoffs are a different monster though. But Orlando is without a big piece for at least tonight (probably). Any team can suddenly hit 45% from behind the arc - even the Pistons. It all starts with one game, and probably one quarter. The Pistons can't be down 8 to 12 points anytime quickly in this game. Mentally, that would be a tough pill to swallow, even for pros.

UDFA to keep an eye on;

actually that's probably the piece I saw. MLB net and ESPN BBTN always seem like the same place to me.

Is this the great part? Is America Great Again yet?

I saw that yesterday and couldn’t find details of how the play-in round would work. If it just means eight more bubble teams get in, and they have to play against the other 8 at large teams that were on the 9-11 seed line, then whatever. Even better, get rid of the play-in round for those two 16 seed spots. 76 teams. 24 at-large in the play-in. 52 byes. 13 seed lines with a bye. Three seed lines for bubble teams needing a play-in round. Protect seeds 1-8 and 12-16, with seeds 9-11 being the play-in teams. Seeds 12-16 can simply go to the 20 lowest ranked auto-bids. The at-large vs AQ line usually falls right at 11/12 line.

Vierling too!

That's what I thought at first but they might be loathe to bring up Max if he's not good and ready, and indications are he is not quite yet. We've also been working Workman in center for the first time in his career. Not sure how he's doing, but it seems like the next logical step to give him a shot.

Not in good shape in CF if Workman, Perez, and McKinstry are our options.

Harris said the exact same thing on MLB Network yesterday.

I can see why since any significant injury could spell the end of a career. For established players it could be a loss of effectiveness that noticeably brings their performance down a notch, cost them future innings or games, or even earnings. For guys on the way up, it could be the death knell of their career at that moment since they are so replaceable.

Buddy Bell did it in 2005, and the Tiger were not either team. He managed the Indians for one game against the A's when Eric Wedge was excused for a "significant personal family issue". Reference doesn't count it, but Retrosheet and Lahman do. Buddy went to the Royals later that year. Tony La Russa managed the White Sox for a couple of months in 1986 and then took over the A’s for the last couple of months.

Just win each quarter one by one

I think Kevin actually could just play SS everyday. If something happens that prevents that, you can get through the rest of the game with an emergency option (Torres? Lee? Vierling? Wenceel?). If it is going to be six weeks until a true backup SS option is available, then fine. But in the short term I think you can just ride with Kevin. It’s also true that our starting nine is without a CF now. So I think it is definitely an option to consider calling up Clark. Vierling and Wenceel can fake it there, but I’d rather have a fake backup SS than a fake starting CF.
