Hmmm..... tomorrow is April 2

lol At the time of the name chance I saw several people half jokingly say things like "well atleast now they won't have to change all the letters in the clubhouse." Little did they know that it would actually happen.

Daz is one of the unfortunate class of Tigers prospect acquired under the previous development regime and who suffered from their incompetence. Derek Hill, our first round pick from eight years ago (!), is Exhibit #1. Alex Faedo, Beau Burrows, Cristin Stewart, all behind what their development should have been. Even Matt Manning took five years to finally make the team. Remember Jonathan Crawford? I barely do, but he got $2 million in the draft and is now out of organized baseball. And these were all first rounders! I have a reasonable expectation that we won't be seeing this massive level from the Hinch-led regime.

But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place;' some swearing, some crying for a surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left. I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle; for how can they charitably dispose of any thing, when blood is their argument? Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it; whom to disobey were against all proportion of subjection. -- W. Shakespeare

It's Bert but we do look alike

Sorry for multiple posts, was having issues getting more into the first one for some reason. SHL playoffs started and Elmer and Simon look good so far

Woodbery tweeting about him coming back 'down the RF line' so this was after he went to the OF after scoring the run? EDIT: Beck just posted he went off at the end of the inning after he came in from 3rd.

Here, let me make it one step easier on you: https://www.amazon.com/All-Family-Changed-Television-UNIVERSE/dp/0789339730/ref=asc_df_0789339730/

Aside from Ukraine, yes lol

Hard to think of a country in more of a pickle than Kazakhstan these days....

i just want to see the bulls fall into the play in games.

Something slipped in Faedo's management. It looked like they wanted to back off on his work, which they also did with Mize and it looks like they are doing with Jobe, but in Faedo's case he ended up losing his FB. That cost him months, then the TJ. I also have a theory that the Tigers in the past were too slow with young hitters. I think if you don't move a guy to where he is seeing MLB pitching by certain age the window is going to start to close on his ability to adjust to it, so it can be counter productive to bring guys along slowly. I worry a lot less about a guys confidence being dashed than about missing his young brain's window to able to learn to recognize MLB breaking balls in real time. Or another way to put it would be if a guy can't keep his head above water against good pitching at 21-24, he probably isn't going to be MLB material anyway. So you may as well/need to push college guys esp hard.

Carrol O'Connor was also kind of a diva, according to the new All in the Family book by Norman Lear. Rob Reiner was just as loud at table reads and script pitches IRL as his character was on screen. Jean Stapleton, as a respected stage and screen actress, could make everyone stop in their tracks with a quiet observation or suggestion. It's a book with great insights about the show and the people.

Yeah, it's one thing to have a hit and a miss from the 1st round or to have only a couple of good prospects out of the rest of the draft over a couple of years, but to have only the tank-picks as plus prospects after 5 years of rebuilding is just unbelievable. There simply was no rebuild, effectively. The last 5 years = Three Tank Amigos. maybe Manning finds it, maybe they salvage a Scott Sizemore out of the rest, and a bunch of crap.

Trump never did this. And he inherited a great economy from Obama.

Even Abe can't watch this shit show anymore....

The dems need to do a better job at exploiting this. This type of thing could be the "defund the polilce", "CRT" rallying cry they need.

Small-d democratic leaders have to face the voters... As such they are encouraged to listen to ideas and be challenged. At least in theory anyway. Dictators surround themselves with people who are either sycophantic or are too scared to tell the truth. That's how we got here... Putin wanted this, and no one was gonna stop it.

It's hard not to be excited about this team going forward. They've been close to having a really good record since the All Star break. I said previously that they're a few pieces away from contending for a play in next season but I don't know, they could be even better than that if Weaver has a good offseason. All arrows are pointing up with this group.

this also reads as economic nonsense. A state tax cut would only be inflationary if the state were deficit spending, which most are not allowed to do and which would contradict the premise of the story anyway that the cuts were out of surpluses. Since states pretty much spend 100% of their revenue received, giving the money back to consumers, who will only spend it to a level equal to 100% - the consumer savings rate, will be deflationary if anything, though pretty close to zero. Stupid, poorly researched commentary. The commentator is confused in that Federal tax cuts into deficits are inflationary because the Federal government can(does) print dollars to fund them (all things being equal, printing more dollars = inflation). States have no such ability. State taxation does not drive national money supply. The writer doesn't know Econ 101. The level of general literacy in what gets published in US media is beyond abysmal.

This dude is so good. Always 🔥

its just one draft, but in 2016, the tigers, without 2nd and 3rd round picks, seemingly scored with Manning, Funk and 4 guys who had a cup of coffee. that's not bad considering how some other years went the Dodgers? well, 13 players they signed made the majors (though not all with them) and some more might still pop up https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?team_ID=LAD&year_ID=2016&draft_type=junreg&query_type=franch_year

Great picture of Jim Cowan.

this account is awesome.

Greene getting an x-ray on his foot, ugh.

Garbage ass people
