More Zack Short...WHY?

"When healthy, Seabold has been pretty effective coming out of the pen, with a 3.45 ERA, 20.3% strikeout rate, and 7.2% walk rate over 15 2/3 innings."

That Trump was a serial abuser of children is already baked into the Epstein files equation, such that if that was all there was on Trump in those files, it could be dismissed with some form of "so what who didn't". So there has to be more than just that in the files implicating Trump, something worse than "merely" sexually abusing children on a serial basis, as though something worse than that is even possible. So I am now coming around to the idea that Trump was an executive principal in the operation. He ran the thing with Epstein from the top. Not the paperwork, of course—that would have been Epstein's job. Maybe more like procurement, dispatch, and disposal.

So are Jones and Wenceel

The Tigers have the two smartest guys in the room leading this franchise

If it were the Dodgers making the trade I believe that's how they would view it. Other teams might talk themselves into that view. That is why I think the prospect haul if we trade Skubal will be better than some here believe.

So, you're saying it totally worked?

Einstein being stubborn to prove he's right. They should have DFA'd him and kept Seaboold

The 70s was a very strange time in history during which children were routinely sexualized in popular culture, and there was even a movement afoot to make sex with children easier, such as lowering age of consent in New Jersey to 13—at the urging of the NOW, of all organizations. That was an actual thing.

Short is playing in the second game.

So Short can bat in these situations: J. Rogers: Ball, Ball, Strike looking, Strike looking, Ball, Ball, Rogers walked, Vierling to third, Torkelson to second Dietrich Enns relieved Keegan Akin Z. Short: Strike looking, Strike swinging, Short flied out to deep right

Remember seeing Jansen last year. Wasn't much left then.

You mean a guaranteed 100% for sure WS title? Sure.

Because Reasons. Why are Short and Jones on this team? Reasons.

They didn't figure out how to win. We figured out how to lose.

Last year's Trade Deadline. To come away with Charlie Morton and Chris Paddack and whomever that injured stiff from Cleveland was, Paul something, Was it Sewald? Did we even get 5 inning out of him? That showed me that the team was more interested in filling the Illitch family parking lots downtown than they were in actually winning. The the Pistons do the same crap. Great season - pickup up a stiff at the deadline who contributes nothing Guess I'll have to savor that 2008 Stanley Cup for a lot longer.

All the botched plays for Baltimore and they still figure out to win. Even when other teams fall apart defensively they can overcome it.

Can’t wait to see four sub .500 ops guys in the lineup again. Does Jamai Jones lead off tonight? We are on the edge of our seats.

Hey, Jansen didn't throw that many pitches, maybe he's available for Game 2 !

We'll see but I think we'll get more than that without an extension. Clark is supposedly the #4 prospect according to ESPN. Would you trade him for a WS title? I think most would.

So we just activated Melton and DFAd Seabold. Why Seabold, one of the guys who has been competent? Why not De Jesus? Why not Vanasco or SGL?

Fubar

Can't wait to hear Harris' spin. He played a role in the Giants winning 107 in 2021 where most players played above their baseline. 2022 they came back to earth with 81 wins. 2023 78 wins. I think Det is far below baseline to even out late 2024 through mid 2025. They'll get on a streak, and I think they'll end up above Minnesota. But that's it

I doubt we could get the games number 9 prospect ( Depaula) for two. months of Skubal unless he agrees to an extension which Boras will not allow.
