8-1 on a WP. KM with a 3-hit day, his first home run and scores two runs.

Torres now joins the rest of the squad by getting a hit.

Shall we just start referring to you as The Dude. That was my son's nickname in college

Tigers outscoring Miami 15-2 this series.

Seeing report that Orban conceded!!!!!!

I'll go out on a limb and predict this McGonigle lad sticks for a few years.

the baseball world is a lot better at 70F.

A good pitching duel on Sunday? Half right. 😁

7-0.

So much for the pitchers duel.

Not if it isnt authenticated. And if the fan doesn't give it up? Well, they just may not authenticate it.

Bert!

CARPETBOMB #3 BERT ACHIEVED

Having no hit stuff and actually getting a no hitter are totally different things. Having no hit stuff means you're a very good pitcher with really good stuff. Getting an actual no hitter takes a bit of luck. Tork catches that foul pop up and we're still anxious...but Skubal has no hit stuff.

Based on this, some comments/ questions: Ratledge is RG, I believe Ioane can play both RG and LG without any issues... which means I think he will slot in at LG, Ratledge stays at RG. You forgot the team seems adamant about moving Sewell to LT... or at least it seems that way to me... So drafting Ioane would STILL mean having him next to Sewell... just on the left side IMO, not on the right. My questions would be: Can Miles Frazier play RT? Can Manu? I think Borom is better as a backup tackle... but yes, he'd be an average RT if he was chosen to be the starter for 2026. But I think Frazier (possibly), Manu (yes, even him), or a drafted RT would be better as the starter than Borom. IMO.

In this economy, I’d hang onto that ball until someone gave me a Miguel Cabrera/Dontrelle Willis for Burke Badenhop/Cameron Maybin deal

It's just not that complicated. In a capped league there are only so many avenues to get better - lopsided trades, drafts, and better development. Unless your FO can outperform other FOs at those tasks, you will never put a better team in the ice than your competition. So to say that this FO "did as well as.." is useless. They have to do *better* than the other guy, otherwise you just stay where you are. So not many second rounders make it? That's a loser's take, if you are going to win *you* need to be the guy that finds the 2nd rounders that do. That may sound harsh but that's the reality of pro sports, it's not a forgiving business. SY often bemoans the fact that it's hard to better - so the 1st step is finding people who can do what's hard. What sports organization goes 10+yrs under performing its competition without any personnel changes being made? We are basically waiting for the blind squirrel to stumble into a nut somewhere with this org (OK they did once with Moritz so they've already burned one allotment of luck). If they want a different result, it's time to have different people driving the result, or maybe turn it over the ClaudeGPT.

Cheapo spoils the nono.

"Top Prospects: First HR balls from high-end prospects often start at $10k–$25k."

I wouldn't give up the ball unless you have me season tickets for the next 20 years. That ball could end up being worth 6 figures if McGonigle has a HOF type career.

Not only that... But there are about five immediate starting quality tackles that could possibly be there at #17. Mauigoa... no chance, IMO. Fano, Lomu, Freeling, Miller, Proctor (please NO!), and I'll even toss in Vega Ioane at LG who is definitely a Holmes/DC type of player... Maybe 1 or 2 on that list goes prior to #17... Brad can: A) Move up to target the OT (or Ioane) that he loves best. or... B) Sit tight, stay at 17 and have his favorite O-Line player (by luck) fall right into his lap. or... C) Trade down to the low 20's because he has calculated that "his guy" will also be available there.

Kevin McGonigle homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field. The first of 500.

10 grand for the ball? 😅😅
