  1. Say hello to Remi. Not sure I was fully ready, but one of the boys brought him home from a friend the other day without asking, and then did the thing where they just waited until I inevitably became emotionally attached and couldn't say no. LOL.

  2. that park is both deep and has a massive amount of foul territory for pop-ups to be turned into outs

  3. I learned to get EVERYTHING in writing in radio. It actually saved my job once. Had a supervisor tell me to do something, I did it, it flopped and he blamed me, said I did it without permission in front of our boss with me sitting there. I said "hold on a second, I have something here........." I had the memo in writing. The GM asked me to leave the room and there was yelling. He didn't get suspended - and I worked there another 5 or 6 months and he never spoke to me ever. If I did something he didn't like (which was almost every day from then on) had his intern call me and tell me. Gutless turd.

  8. In my wife's job she frequently (well, pre-COVID anyway) spends time in high schools meeting with teachers and principals about student teachers. Today she was in the school my sister-in-law (married to my older brother) teaches at. She poked her head in her classroom and said hello. One of the kids in the class yelled out "Is that your mom?". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  9. Montas would be a massive massive upgrade and if the cost includes Kriedler that's fine

  10. I think Kreidler is a keeper. I would hesitate before trading him. He very well could be our starting second baseman by year end/2023. Eventually paired with Santana after Baez leaves after 2023. We should just get the best possible free agent at this point as Montas will bring a haul at this point and Oakland, as someone noted, is a savvy trader.

  12. A good offense doesnt magically make a defense better per se but it can help the overall numbers by keeping the defense off the field more. After all the more time your offense has the ball the less time your bad defense is out there.

  13. LOL - in fact Wayne Fontes, Barry Sanders, and June Junes proved that too potent an offense makes life harder for the Defense as they end up on the field for 40min!

  15. These comments are spot on. Good management is doing more with less. In my book, when I look at the sweep of the last 90 years of the St. Louis Cards management, I would rate them as the best managed baseball franchise in MLB. Yes, I am aware that there was some shady hocus pocus at least once during the last 20, but that was an aberration. Despite what Detroit fans think, Detroit's biggest problem has been poor identification of talent and abysmal training and instruction of acquired talent. There are some signs that they may be getting better on these 2 points.

  19. Chris Illitch doesn't need to make a profit. None of the owners need to make a profit. Baseball isn't any of the owners main source of revenue, it's mainly just a hobby. As long as they can absorb the losses into their other businesses, they are fine. The fact that fans are so worried about owners making a profit is mind-boggling to me. Every single owner can afford to operate baseball at a loss.

  21. I much prefer what the Lions are doing in terms of a rebuild compared to like the Jaguars. Not even just in terms of the Jags vastly overpaying for these players, but in terms of having a sort of vision for the future. The Lions are accumulating draft picks, and (though a small sample size) are hitting on those picks. They're keeping the players that can fill a role moving forward, but not over-committing to them (financially or in length). It seems like the Jaguars are just saying "eh, we have the money, f it" and going out and just trying to plug holes in their roster with whatever they can afford, as if it will instantly make them a contender. As Hongbit said, this is a larger than two year rebuild. A year or two from now, I think we might be able to say that we are only one or two pieces from really competing. At that point, I think it's more reasonable to say "let's go out and spend $70M on a guy who can come in here and instantly put us over the top", rather than spending $70M this year on a guy to fill a hole that for all we know could be filled in the draft, at a much cheaper price for just as long. As opposed to the Jaguars, who seem to just be throwing s*** at the wall and seeing if it will stick long enough to win a few games.

  22. You won't hear anything legit on MLB Network regarding the lockout. It's not a real journalism device. It's a mouth piece for the league.
