And Coolbaugh is *still* employed. If a guy doesn't get fired when his team is putting up century bad numbers with multiple players having career worst years, you have crossed right past Darryl Rogers level.

Poor Biden, nobody told him that Jared Kushner already achieved lasting peace in the middle east.

I can't believe that fuckwad is still in front of a TV camera

I just cut him from my last place fantasy team so he’s bound to get hot again.

Given that fascism isn't the sort of thing that merely peters out from ennui, I guess there will be nothing to avoid the worst of outcomes and turn things around except a TBD number of people being killed and the ensuing reckoning after the worst of everything happens. That's all probably going to take years and years to live through. I believe some uprising of some degree of seriousness is going to happen whether or not Justice indicts—either this year because of Trump World indictments, or early next year because of this election, or in two to three years because of that election—but I also believe it will go down worse if Justice does nothing, because that means the system would be openly giving up. At least if Justice indicts, there is a chance to still show the system is strong and willing to fight the fascists, which may dissuade those only marginally interested in rising up, which may make it easier to fight and put the whole thing down. That won't be easy, either, not by any stretch, and perhaps even people some of us personally know may die as a result. But at least we'd still have a chance.

Listening to the Mike Flynn centered pod from The Bulwark from yesterday. They discussed how Flynn believed that COVID vaccine was put in salad dressing to distribute it to the anti-vaxxers. That would seem to be a complete mis-read of the vax phobic's dietary choices.

Remember when Hinch was running the entire organization last season? Good times.....

When is the last time you talked to your brother?...

But, of course they are. Who didn’t believe that’s what they would do. Handmaid’s Tale… out of the fiction section of the library, straight to non-fiction.

It was the joke I liked.

Except he didn't trade Scherzer 🤷‍♂️

The twitter version of a curb stomping

Are the Knicks secretly run by the dumbest callers to their sports talk stations?

All the speculation is kind of silly. They have their board, the top of which is most assuredly dominated by hitters, but it all depends on who goes before their pick, and then they'll take whoever is their highest rated player remaining.

Even if we can successfully void, it’s not a win. There is an opportunity loss, considering we might have acquired a different starter last offseason, not to mention having to surrender our 3rd round pick next week.

I've noticed less Jeff Riger on my SM accounts, guess this explains it lol

The outfield walls are too far away.

At least not this time.

Ninety-one games into the season, the Tigers have five qualified batters. Miguel Cabrera is the wRC+ leader with 93. Surprisingly(?), Javy Baez is second with 78, followed by Robbie Grossman (74), Spencer Torkelson (70), and Jonathan Schoop (60). Of the 2,793 teams that have played big league baseball since 1885, only 11 of them ended the season without even one qualified player achieving as high as 100 wRC+. And that's after I expanded the definition of qualified player to include anyone with 400 or more plate appearances. The last time this happened was the 1982 Mets, when Dave Kingman led six such qualified hitters with a 97 wRC+. Before that, the horrific 1976 Expos were "led" by Larry Parrish's execrable 80. You'd have to go back to the original 16-team majors to find the next most recent team to end up without a single league-average 400-PA-qualified batter. Here's the entire list—at least so far: Highest Year Team wRC+ Record 1982 NYM 97 65-97 1976 MON 80 55-107 1951 SLB 84 52-102 1935 CIN 98 68-85 1910 CHW 98 68-85 1910 BSN 99 53-100 1909 BSN 90 45-108 1903 WAS 96 43-94 1899 CLE 85 20-134 1894 LOU 92 36-94 1886 BAL 88 48-83

Given it's a Tigers draft, I'll assume we'll draft the highest rated player who falls to us, and they'll likely either be: A hard throwing right-hander with injury and control problems Or A right handed power bat with holes in their swing and problems with pitch recognition

I have no objection to you using the hand dryers as you please.

Shouldn’t we be aiming higher? Comparing anyone to our hitters is an incredibly low bar.

Gavin Cross -Good baseball name and sounds like he's a hitter. Jace Jung - Alliteration is good, but his name is Jace. He'll be overrated. Justin Crawford - Will be overrated because his father played. Brock Porter - A pitcher with two last names. That won't work. Cole Young - Again, two last names, but a hitter can get away with it. Connor Prielipp - Just a terrible name and they are already talking reliever. Forget about him.

Just now listening to Hamilton soundtrack "One Last Time" where Washington asserts that the stable transfer of power demonstrates the strength of the system. Yeah, that seems very relevant.

They are doing a good job to the people that are willing to listen to them, which happens to be the same people that didn't vote for him anyway. At this point, i'm not sure how well it's doing elsewhere. There is evidence that GOP voters are starting to look at a party past him, maybe this is playing a part of that. He's been able to put a spell on the entire GOP voter base though, so I don't give a crap about soiling him, he needs to be put in jail to ensure he doesn't run again.

I think that's exactly the point of this committee, to basically soil him so badly he's unpalatable to many many voters. Whether they'll be successful is another question. It seems like they're doing a really good job but as we move further in time away from the hearings, the GOP will be able to change the narrative, like they have since Jan 6. We all remember how there were republicans that were outraged by Jan 6 and have since changed their tune.

Andrew Benintendi just loss some trade value, one would think

"if"?

Yes and we are stuck with him, thanks to Al Avila outbidding himself with the only offer that Hinch received.

I don’t think we can expect indictments immediately after a story gets posted on Twitter.

Sorry if already posted: was disappointed to hear Craig Monroe replacing Alex tonight. Heard him say Candelario can carry a team for weeks when he gets hot. LOL. What a JOKE.

I honestly didn't know there was confusion as I thought it was pretty clear. I was confused why I was being quizzed on the cloud. I thought I was going to be told that my cameras are still being access by Dominion Voting Systems via an Italian satellite.

I just have to say …. That’s really lame to interpret what’s on that clip as “someone shaking hands with nobody”. Equally lame is sharing the post, which seems to indicate that you are agreeing with the interpretation. As someone who took care of a senior person, my father, with dementia for more than 10 years, (luckily it was slow moving until the last year or so), I can tell you absolutely that all this mudslinging that have been thrown in Biden direction, insinuating he’s suffering from dementia, are just incredibly insulting, because they are so inaccurate. I hope you never have to learn about the truth of this condition from close up.

lol a guy named "Whit" from small-town South Carolina doing his own research on an infectious disease.

Pitch counts? Innings limitations? Have the clubbie make sure you have a few heaters available in the dugour, throw your CG, pound a few Budweisers while icing your arm afterwards, and then call it a day.

🤢
