Hard to imagine where this team would be without its pitching in general.

Think about it. Until the moment the guy started shooting people… in Texas and to gun nuts everything was ok. “Oh Look a guy in body armor with an AR 15 out in public. Totally cool. Don’t bother him. He’s probably a patriot”.

Why on earth would this team need Dallas Keuchel? Like, what does he give you that Joey Wentz, Garrett Hill or Reese Olson wouldn't give you if, God forbid, they need to reach further into the system? Or even Drew Hutchison or Chase Anderson for that matter? If this were a position player reclamation project, it would be one thing, but they don't really need a reclamation project pitcher to fix the mess they are in.

my god, we really have to get willi out of the outfield

A lifelong gun owner and Marine from Oregon named Ben Beers had turned in his AR-15 and handgun to the local police to have them destroyed. This is an act of courage. He's going against something he believed in his whole life because he couldn't justify it anymore. This is very brave because by going public he's probably going to be attacked now and I would imagine some of those attacks will include death threats. Talk about patriotism, doing something like this for your country because you know your country can be better. I'll raise a glass or two to Mr. Beers tonight. (The article calls him an ex-Marine.....is there such a thing?). https://www.huffpost.com/entry/oregon-man-tiktok-destroys-guns_n_6291cf7be4b0cda85dbf009f

I thought you told us the police were trained to protect the public. So now they aren't? When did this change?

At a certain point, and in my mind it's sooner rather than later, Sewell & Decker need to swap LT/ RT spots.

Champ Summers! Perfect baseball name and came out of nowhere to be an outstanding platoon player for a couple of seasons. Who didn't love the Summers/Wockenfuss platoon?

I'm going back to the baseball forum.

I'd be pleased if he came close to his dad's numbers....

I'm kind rooting for Daz... at this point, I trust him more than any other outfielder defensively on the 40 man. Just need to see him hit consistently...

Runs in the family... his dad was one of the best out there!

Spike Lee again. #5 🤮🤮🤮

Seriously, I've said this like 5 times already but I have been paying attention to baseball since about 1975/76 and I've never seen anything like this.

Let's be honest injuries are part of the game but at this rate you have to start thinking that changes need to be made with our strength and conditioning staff and program.

Hammerin Harold with a bomb! Hell compared to the rest of the Tigers hitters this year he may as well be Hank Aaron himself.

The last two game 7's were blow outs. We are owed a good one tonight.

What a terrible track.

He can help by eating innings. With the amount of injuries the Tigers have, they are currently using one rotation day as a bullpen day. Having another starter, either Keuchel or someone else, would be better than taxing our bullpen.

I knew who you meant. I am closer to the Barney Fife era than the Barney the Dinosaur era. I remember everyone used to make fun of Barney the Dinosaur because he was "too nice" like that was a bad thing.

Jesus said "I come that they may have life and have it abundantly" You can take that to mean in the here and now just as much as any aspirational heaven. It's a moral code by which we would all live better in the here and now. But if you aren't so inclined, just look at the bees. They work together, they work for the good of each other, they know their jobs, dance for joy while doing them and what they do leaves the world a much sweeter place. Follow either example.

lol wow nice century man, I had to google

that's a semantic question though. If power is complete freedom of action, having to act in every situation is also a limitation of power, thus omnipotence also implies freedom not to act. The real problem you run into if you try to run any of these definitions to ground are the joint paradoxes of will and and deterministic physics. First take physics. In a pure Newtonian physics every single event in the history of the universe was predetermined at the instance of its beginning because in Newtonian physics, the position of every single particle at time t + del t is fully determined by it's position and energy at time t. There is no freedom of any kind, for God or man, because the human body and brain are physical objects, no free will is possible. God put it into motion once and everything is predetermined. But this is fatal to any moral liability. Everything that happens in your brain is chemically and physically predetermined at every point in time. There is not even really any "you." You were a predestined automaton from the moment of creation. Of course no sentient human being actually believes they don't have will, thus this was always simply swept under the rug once Newtonian physics became established. So religious philosophers largely stopped talking about nature - or rejected science. Of course that we do live in a fully deterministic universe and self-awareness is simply a delusion, would be the ultimate cosmic joke. And certainly a very, very meta one if we can sit and write about it from within it. But then along came quantum mechanics and roiled all the waters. We learned that events in the universe are not fully determined by the past - events only have probabilities of occurring in the future and the process by we get from point A to point B actually have random character. Does this save the day? Can there actually be a thing called 'mind' which can somehow influence you brain's chemistry at the quantum level and produce a 'volition' that is truly independent of and not fully determined by its past state? And did a God create a universe that really operates on a measure of random chance? Einstein disliked this idea very much, his famous quote being "The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the "old one." I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice." What does the term omnipotence even mean if there are 7 billions independent sources of volition on a single planet? Is it meaningful to say a being can be omniscient in a quantum universe? It seems to me such an omniscience would have to exist on some meta level outside the universe itself - a statement which itself has only tenuous meaning. You can throw all those questions into the same pot as other paradoxes of time and space such as: "what was before the universe?" or "what is outside the universe" Have a nice day....

Well, genius, the line of rain has to start somewhere..................

I think that everybody passes and he gets a minor league deal. Guarantee him $8 million? That deal would be Pelfrey-esque.

That's bullshit...how convenient of you to forget the brave African American security guard who was probably being paid $12/hr give his life to protect shoppers he didn't know in Buffalo...plenty of brave folks out there. Remember all the first responders who died on 9/11? The Uvalde police force are cowardly pussies. Probably couldn't be bothered to save a bunch of brown kids. if 19 of them were afraid of one teenager with a gun, maybe that should tell you something. Now they need security to protect themselves? Seriously, fuck them. Plenty of us healthcare workers put our lives on the line day after day and had to try and save assholes who insisted they didn't have Covid or that it was a hoax and not only had to worry about contracting the virus, but had to fear for our safety from all gun wielding Trumpturd assholes.

How are fourth graders to be prepared when someone comes in and locks the door and starts shooting? What is “prepared” in that scenario. I don’t want to live in the world you think is required to prepare for this. That’s not normal.

there are two problems - mass death weapons and too many handgun. The former need to go away, the qualifications for possessing the later need to be much tighter. handguns are not even all that useful for protecting a home either because in any home with children they need to be locked up and your average home invader is not going to politely stand aside while you wake yourself up and arm yourself. And in any home where they are not locked up the probabilities appear high they are more likely to kill a member of the household than an invader.

There is no way you can be prepared for something like this. It happens suddenly and escalates quickly. No matter how cool you think you are, you can't predict how you would react in such a crisis. Even the professionals make mistakes.

They are creating an environment which is as similar to the big club as possible. That is smart.

If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t flying

I think it was based on body type and facial resemblance.

He just hates BLM because they are better crooks than he is.

The owner is obviously content with the status quo. Until that changes Avila will continue his reign of failure.
