Yeah, not sure why he’s fallen out of the rotation. It seems like even if that’s been the case, he deserves some sort of minutes given what he can bring as far as defense and energy. I know finding offense can be a chore at times for the Pistons. But sometimes you’ve got to see if the defense can lead to some offense.

A tall task given their hatred of Browns’ ownership past and present. in general though, this season has been a breakout for him defensively. Watching him on that end is an absolute joy.

I just used GPT to help me get my arms around the process of replacing my house’s electrical panel, not only helping me estimate costs, which it did, but setting expectations as to what kind of equipment I should be getting, understanding specific Chicago code issues, sifting through proposals from three different vendors, developing the follow-up questions to ask, and ultimately deciding on which vendor to choose. I should be clear that at no time did I just “set it and forget it” and then just did what AI told me to do. I used AI as a tool to help me make my decision, not a crutch to relieve me of the responsibly of thinking about it.

You can’t?

This sure gets us talking about the asinine things he says such as “Xi thinks I’m so smart” at which we can laugh and roll our eyes dismissively, instead of the horrifying things he says such as praising Xi for being a “a brilliant guy” because he rules the Chinese people with an “iron fist” which should give us all pause about his ultimate intentions.

You might be right. He’s not too terribly accurate although I think a lot of where he gets dinged on fielding runs is due both to poor positioning (a lot hits to left field that are normally singles become doubles because he’s loping after the ball to get it), or he gives up on the runner taking the extra base.

Or 70s…..

I remember having high hopes for Dave Lemanczyk

Especially since Tork was a 104 sOPS+ against righties versus 94 against lefties coming into the game, so it wasn’t a platoon advantage thing. And Tork had never faced Jeff Hoffman before, so it wasn’t a matchup thing. It must have been a Tork was 4-for-41 with 21 strikeouts in his last 12 games thing.

I'll be surprised if Riley can find the base with anything he tries to throw hard.

Why no 3-6-3? Tork’s turned some 3-6-3s, and Riley throws 11 ticks faster than Tork does.

Wouldn’t be against it. Maybe it would save his legs a bit during the season. The fact that Torkelson’s assignment to bottom third of the lineup in recent games might suggest he’s not long for the organization.

Darn, for a second I was hoping maybe we’d traded Flaherty and hopefully Tork for Vlad Jr.

I used to really hate them, now it’s probably just another part of the game. The on field interviewer interviews are obviously done in between innings earlier in games where usually not much is going on.

Missed the cut by one.

Unfortunately Madden have caught one.

Truer words I have not read yet today.

So much for Madden’s return.

"Something in his shoes??" LOL

On the MLB website for today's game;

That was a pretty great performance from everybody. I honestly thought it was a longshot for the Pistons to win this game because, one, I thought they'd be deflated after blowing Game 5 and make no mistake they blew it more than Cleveland winning it and because their role players generally disappear on the road and I was unsure if Robinson would play. Well, Robinson played well, Jenkins played his best road game of the playoffs, Duren played his best game of the playoffs by a longshot, Reed doing what he always does when he gets minutes and that's play very well and Sasser gave some good minutes as well as well as Lavert. That was the difference on a night when Cade struggled in the second half and Harris largely disappeared. It felt like regular season Pistons with the bench doing a lot of heavy lifting. I'm very impressed with the resilience of the group but now the pressure shifts back to them in Game 7 so lets see how they handle that, they handled it pretty darn well against Orlando and I feel as long as the Pistons don't give it away which they have the propensity to do at times led by Cade that they will win this game.

oh what a night !

I'm looking to get my kitchen and bathroom remodeled. I asked AI how much it should cost for my area. I gave it details about my kitchen and bathroom. Its cost estimate was right on the nose.

Trump absolutely does take a salary. He used to show evidence that he donated it though. He probably just keeps it now.
