The problem is the control of the senate affects Michigan and control of the senate runs through Maine. I do think Dems have a path without Maine, but it's more difficult. National Dems are going to have to answer for Platner. You attack Paxton, what about Platner?

Did anybody here vote for him? This is an issue for Maine voters.

I find your apologetics for a ****ing Nazi and domestic abuser hard to understand. You're blaming it on the senator from New York. Mills wasn't the only Democrat running. No, candidates don't release their full oppo in a primary. Haley Stevens isn't releasing her full oppo on McMorrow or El-Sayed.

I’m afraid to look that up…

Wait a second. Canada paid for that bridge.

of course not. this is just Trump pumping the stock market. Trump lives and dies watching the indexes. Any time there is a turn south he makes some kind of happy talk to buoy them back up.

The Twins really are a bad team. Look at their run differential;

No, it means the Dems didn't bother to find a competent person interested in running for the seat. Platner is filling a void that wouldn't there if the party were competently managed. I find your apologetics for their political malpractice hard to understand.

The Tigers are 2-5 against the Twins so far this season. The Tigers have also outscored the Twins 37-32 so far this season.

Uhhhh....so what the Tigers record what both are out? Must be pretty dismal.

I wouldn't mind seeing more Rogers catching and Dingler DH. We don't lose anything defensively and maybe gain even more Dingler offense.

IIRC Brieske flashed a big fast ball when he first came up, but I'm not sure that's still there. He was hitting 96 today but I thought I remember him having more.

Sure, might as well go ahead and rape the environment, too.

The fact that you can pick two players out and designate their absence and come up with similar results makes me wonder if choosing such variables is really an accurate way of approaching these things.

So not near as extreme of a low as Carpenter. 92 wins when he is healthy, but still 79 wins when injured. So a 13 win difference compared to 25-26 for Carpenter.

Tim Wakefield. I was just looking at the boxscore and I can only find 7 home runs. Edit; another wrong AI answer. The Tigers only hit 7 home runs in the Boston game loss.

The Detroit Tigers are 74-56 since the start of 2024 when outfielder Parker Meadows is active and healthy on the roster, compared to 127-132 when he is sidelined on the injured list (IL) or optioned to the minor leagues. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The drastic difference in winning percentages (.569 with Meadows vs. .490 without him) underscores how vital his presence has been to the lineup, particularly his standout defense in center field and a late-2024 surge that helped guide Detroit to a historic postseason run.

I believe I remember that August 8, 2024 game. The Tigers had a gigantic lead against some knuckleballer for the Red Sox and blew the lead.

Yeah, that’s quite interesting that the Tigers average 91 wins over 162 game season when Carpenter’s in the lineup. I suppose there’s all sorts of if but what however variables you could consider, but if you consider this one variable, the results are pretty outstanding.

And here is an amazing stat AI told me;

I think there is a similar stat for Parker Meadows

It definitely confirms my gut feeling. A 90 win team with a healthy Carpenter and a 65 win team with him out.

Thanks!
