Oh wow! I just realized that this game begins at 2:10 PM MDT for me which means I don’t have to wait all day long for it to begin. “It’s raining runs, hallelujah. It’s raining runs“ hopefully for us.

saw a lot of references to the end of the show on how important it was to see two men talk and deal with mental health and trauma.

He's about as close to ready as just about any player I've seen. The Tigers are being careful with him but if keeps this up, he's going to force their hand;

Not much to say. Orlando is not a good basketball team despite their big blowout last night. On defense, they finished 11th which isn't bad. But they don't have anyone that matches up well with Cade. Suggs will get the bulk of that work, and he gives up a good 15-20 pounds to Cade. Cunningham averaged 32/10/8 in three games against Orlando this season. Nobody really matches up with Duren either. Both guys should have a big series. On offense, Orlando is a mess. They don't even have a true PG on the roster. They are one of the worst shooting teams in the league, 21st from the floor and 27th from three. Banchero is probably the least efficient star in the entire league and loves the pull-up mid-range jumper instead of going to the rim. Bane is fantastic and their best player IMO. Ausar should get that assignment. Zero shooting threat from the C positions, which is good for Duren. The one thing Orlando does well is get to the line, first in the league this year. Detroit fouls a ton so that is one thing to watch. Expect a big discrepancy in free throw attempts this series. Orlando's locker room is also a mess. Almost everyone expects Mosley to be fired at the end of the season. There were reports this week of Orlando's star player demanding the coach be fired or he would want a trade. Pistons in 4

He’s the greatest there ever has been and the greatest there ever will be. Forgot GOAT, he’s the Zeus of Con Men.

I disagree. One thing that they can't do on that show is to have a "Crisis Of The Season". To have some sort of Mass Casualty event ever year. That would get old and very predictable. It's like the cop show were suddenly someone from the squad's family is targeted. It seems to happen every season on some shows. No, The Pitt's wasn't as action-packed as the first season, but that's by design. This season had two different kind of crises with the information outage and then the staff themselves. The true "crisis" was a slow burn and I thought they did an excellent job of showing how the stress of emergency medicine effects people in different ways. I thought the ending was really good because they didn't just answer questions and wrap it up - they showed the ongoing problem of it all. Maybe around the 4th of July, I am going to put that season on and just let the whole thing play out in real time. The whole season. I won't just sit there and watch it all but I will have it running on 1 tv all day to maybe get a sense of things. The real-life version of Dr. Robby was an ER doctor named Lorna Breen. Read about her. It's a devistating story. I think she actually might be the inspiration for this show. The healers need healing.

They won 6 in a row… losses happen.

Yes, that’s why I said they would be the guts of the trade. I don’t know who else would have to be included. Danielson? The bigger point is that Stevie was rumored to have been exploring EP40 at the trade deadline. Could a trade like this be a springboard out of purgatory? Or would it be an anchor?

Oral Hershiser says WTF, man. Fun Fact: He grew up and played Little League in Southfield until he was 12. Maybe I got a bit hyperbolic with my Soriano praise but he’s on fire. His pitch metrics are off the chart too. His Sinker is right there with Skubal’s Changeup.

I don't remember, but I'm guessing the little stamping is cheaper than chrome plating. Whatever is cheaper is always the answer.

Harris definitely does not do deals just for the sake of doing deals.

And the dirty little secret is that far from being resentful of being manipulated, the market is all on the scheme.

That woulda opened a can of worms. With Vierling already outta the game, move Perez to CF and bring in Carpenter for RF? IDK if I woulda pitched to the speedy LH hitter, a RH hitting catcher was on deck. And 2nd base was open, walk the hitter to set up a force at any base or a possible DP? Thats a tough call, it's why Hinch makes the big bucks. Whichever doesnt work is the wrong call...😅😅

Yeah. OK. How did that work out for the Tigers? I'm sure he was really hitting LH pitchers in the International League. AAA hitters don't always have success at the ML level. And his defense was the biggest worry. Going 0-3 is no big deal, most young players don't have immediate success. It would be asinine to expect immediate success. 😆 All I'm saying is the risk-reward heavily favored the risk. You wanna call him up to fill in at 2nd or 3rd as a utility player, fine. But to start him when other regulars are being rested? The shutout outcome was fairly predictable. And again, it's pure hindsight...v

When game got to "close, late" esp at the end where anything to the OF wins it and DP could have saved it, I'd have wanted Javy at short and McG at 3rd - mid inning if need be. In Hinch's defense, Fenway is a place where the odds a of a game being won by IF defense quality are lower than most places.

The ballpark is irrelevant. He was called up because he hits lefties, and there was a lefty on the mound. It's absolutely asinine to suggest a player needs to spend their first game on the bench.

Max is not the weakest link.
