Replace Ron with anyone that contributes and they might still be playing. That 2024 draft class is terrible. I guess Castle is the best player from that class, but I'm not a big fan of his. I think Harper eventually will replace him in the starting lineup. Maybe as early as next season. Taking Ron at 5 was kind of silly. All projections had him going between 10-15. Buzelis should have been the pick there.

I hope it pukes on IPO day, but it won't. What a ****ed up mess. The pigmen will make money so it's all good. We are playing in the secondary market anyway. In other news, this pertains to NVDA. Stock isn't doing much today after the earnings report last night. This may be part of the reason why. Nvidia says it has ‘largely conceded’ China’s AI chip market to Huawei Also, market related. The bellwether WMT reported this morning. Not so good. Stock down around %8.

So... what's everyone's thoughts on Skubal and a trade before the deadline? The Tigers still had a legit shot of resigning Skubal and it would be stupid to trade him. While I don't think the Tigers will resign Skubal, the season is still young. The Tigers may bounce back and we should hold onto Skubal to help with that playoff run. Time to pull the plug on this year. The Tigers aren't doing anything and even if Skubal comes back to Cy Young caliber pitching tomorrow they're still not doing anything. Trade him for as much talent as you can get. Now OBVIOUSLY we're not even close to the trade deadline right now so there's plenty of time yet... and I'm not even sure if you can trade a player on the IL if we were near the deadline. So, there's time to see what might happen between now and then. But, where are you sitting right now? What camp are you in? 1, 2 or 3?

I've been a Benson supporter from day one. I'm elated to see that Mike Duggan is dropping out. Independent races are generally an uphill battle and doomed from the start. I hope he comes out and supports Jocelyn now.

I always disliked Will Clark for some reason. At the time, I thought he was overrated, maybe because he peaked at age 25. Looking back at his numbers today though, he was really good and really consistent his whole career.

collusion has nothing to do with it. you have a cost controlled asset for 6 years. there is no need to sign 30 year old declining players to multi-million contracts. you dont need to do that to be successful. you can CHOOSE to do it if you can afford it.

I use to be blissfully ignorant of politics (and my life was better then!), but what I most remember about Barney Frank was him coming out as gay and everybody talking about it like it was a horrible crime that would destroy him.

I think fans can't relate to the level of physical talent than professional players have, so they try to relate to them on a mental level. If they don't succeed, it's because they are mentally weak or don't care. I think players sometimes go in the other direction when they explain their success. It's not because they are more physically gifted than the rest of the population. It is because they work hard or are resilient or something else that doesn't relate to their natural physical ability

Might as well score at least one more run than Cleveland this game

She kind of tore him up at a discussion held not far from my house earlier this week. I wish I had known it was going on but it was a UAW hall so maybe attendance was restricted.

dems acting like they want to win. who knew?

This is great news.

Congratulations Governor Benson. I’m emailing John James with the good news.

too many people think athletics and performance is all about you and what you've done or not done. "I just didn't work hard enough man..." "You are weak! You didn't prepare!"

But that's not how it works in MLB The Show!

From the story: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made clear Wednesday that the conduct of January 6, 2021, rioters who attacked law enforcement will be factored when the soon-to-be-set-up commission reviews applications to the anti-weaponization fund. “One of the factors the commissioners have to consider is what the claimant did — the claimant’s conduct,” Blanche told CNN’s Paula Reid in an interview Wednesday. “The claimant would have to say, ‘I assaulted a cop and I want money.’” “Whether the commissioners will give that person money – that claimant – it’s up to them. But that’s one of the factors they have to consider,” he continued, adding that Trump “does not stand for assaulting law enforcement.” Blanche said he couldn’t fully rule out the possibility that someone who was violent toward officers [would not receive payments], saying it was up to the commissioners. “So, whether the commissioners will give that person money, that claimant, it’s up to them,” he said. Translation: If you assaulted a Capitol cop to overturn the election and reinstall Donald Trump as president, then congratulations and look for a check in the mail.

Not a map, but pretty informative.

Do people who got fired over Charlie Kirk get a piece of this slush fund?

I like to tell people "The other team wants to win too... and they're good players"

i don’t notice it so much as a team, mostly my observation of Torkelson. you watch his ABs particularly on game day where the pitch history for the AB stays visible, and you are struck by how often he ends up having to swing at a pitcher’s pitch at two strikes after having taken a much better strike to hit. Even allowing for the fact that if a guy lands a good breaking on the 1st pitch most hitters will take the chance it’s not going to land- so there will be times you end taking middle-middle, but when Tork struggles, he seems to stand out for ultimately swinging at worse strikes than he takes early.

switch out Holland for Castle and this team is still playing. Getting jack squat from the 5th pick in 2022 and 2024 drafts just kills me

Wait...a day game? I"m not done complaining about last night's game yet...🤣🤣

But if they were scoring multiple runs per game, the mistakes wouldn't be remembered. Limited scoring makes the mistakes more glaring.

Agreed. But hopefully, Perez will be benched and Flaherty will be replaced in the starting rotation. Melton is on his way back, maybe Sunday?
