Not even the worst contract the Tigers have given to an overweight 1B in the past 12 years. They were just able to unload the other.

Donald Trump and all of his family members are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. That said, it would seem that there is a mountain of evidence, over many years, that will finally bring some level of justice to the many people and business entities that he, his children, and his business enterprises have done wrong to over the years. Calling Donald Trump Fredo Corleone from the movie The Godfather, or comparing one of his sons to the movie character, in a moment such as this would be too easy and would do a disservice to the gravity of the situation at hand. Saying that he is just some dumb, mafioso-like criminal takes away from the seriousness of the financial crimes he is accused of by the New York Attorney General's Office and the potential, future, pending charges by any federal jurisdiction. It is clear to me that it has appeared, over a long period of time, that Donald Trump has operated on a rules for thee, but not for me status. It is clear that he, his family, and his business enterprises have skirted the law for years using many different methods. They have collectively ripped off many hard working people and other business investors, dodged paying taxes, and produced outright fabricated financial statements, lying about his personal and business financial balance sheets, earned income, and overall accumulated wealth. If you or I as average Americans did what the former President, his children, and his business enterprise areaccused of doing we'd have been held accountable and faced the long arm of the law long ago. Today is one step closer towards bringing a small semblance of justice for those that Donald Trump, his children, and his businesses have lied to, cheated, and hustled over the years. The amount of wealth potentially stolen by all parties involved and a full account of the the pain and suffering caused to enumerable amounts of people and other business entities may never be fully known. Yet again, we have a black woman to thank for enforcing the rule of law, up holding democracy, and hopefully bringing justice to bare. Thank you to New York State Attorney General Letitia James and her entire team for all of their thorough and diligent work in this case. This matter isn't over and the case not closed. Donald Trump, his family members charges, and all his business associates are still innocent until proven guilty. This is a sad day for our country. Sad that Donald Trump was able to get away with this for all these years and sad that he became our President and continued the grift during his tenure as President. I do not celebrate these charges and I do not exhibit exuberance or joy at the damage potentially caused by Donald Trump. I wish for fair and honest justice to be brought by the court of law. I hope that we continue to fight for a more just and equitable system of justice and society. I hope that we recognize and commit to the American ideal that no individual, regardless of their position of power, is above the law and deserving of special status or treatment.

You're kind of late to this party.

I worry about playing a team right after they got embarrassed on national TV. I have no idea if there is actual any real data to support this but it always feels to me like teams respond positively the next week after something like that.

I kind'of wish I was day drinking, too.

The migrants have filed a lawsuit.

And now, now, they are again trumpeting “rebuilding.“ The Neverending Rebuild. This is inexcusable. Yes indeed they had a lot of bad luck. But other teams have bad luck too. Other teams have enough depth to survive bad luck. And while I wasn’t expecting Tork or Greene to have Tony Conigliaro rookie years, I was expecting more. This franchise has eroded my ability to care. If they sold the franchise to King Charles III he couldn’t do any worse than Chris has done because neither of them know much about baseball.

The Tigers current list of starting pitchers who are both proven good and healthy:

I think the Tigers going forward will be a lot more active on the back end of the 40 man roster and on the edges of the roster.

chris davis says hi.

1984....calm the eff down man.

He should sell to Donald Sterling.

I won't pop the cork yet that they hold this mafioso to account, but you can only cosplay Fredo for so long before you make a mistake, screw up it all up, and get caught. Once again, black women are saving democracy and the rule of law in America.

the 2023 rotation is currently fronted by 2 question marks, ERod and Manning, followed by 6-8 more questions marks, Turnbull, Faedo, Wentz, Madden, Olson, Flores, Garcia .... Mize won't pitch in 2023. Skubal will miss 1/2 the season. Hinch was saying that both Hill and Brieske are looking better as relievers. Everyone either a rookie or coming off injury. Someone, unfortunately, will need TJ in 2023. No idea who, but that's going to happen. they need a starter of consequence.

yeah, but theyve been incomplete! lol. poor dj chark cant buy an accurate pass.

sounds like herm edwards leaked that to a reporter...

The Sun God getting the recognition he deserves. If he keeps up at this pace I think we have a top 5-10 WR on our hands by years end.

The Tigers are going to finish the year losing 100 games, that doesn't sound like a jumping off point to bring in a bunch of free agents. I believe they will not spend much money this year, at least on multi year deals, and evaluate the numerous starting pitchers they have in various stages of recovery. They are where they are and the prudent play is to treat 2023 like another year of rebuilding, which again what a team coming off 100 losses should do. If they get some luck on the health of their young starters and a couple of the decent prospects they have pan out they will have something to build around.

This is great. How did I not know this existed?

I call BS. It would be really hard to find future employment if you were caught doing this. Report: Arizona State staffers were leaking info to help opponents, get Herm Edwards fired

The end of the contract is the reward for the meat of the contract. The money was spread out a couple of extra years knowing that the value of 10 million dollars was different from 10 million dollars 9 years later.

It will be a civil suit against the Trump organization. Not a criminal charge against him personally.

Jerome Powell is probably hoping she announces a Trump indictment ten minutes after the Fed make their announcement.

aj brown caught 10 passes for 155 yards on detroit.

Bonehead call by Santiago. No reason to send Candy, when it would have been 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

Yes. And 90% of Tigers viewers thought, “what did that nerd just say?”

Did Scott Harris reference OPS+?

I might normally hope that Scott Harris replaces Shep and Old Guys, but it really doesn’t matter since I do radio audio overlay anyway.

Any references to knee caps?

Here's Mickey describing it.

Observations from the presser... Illitch's statement on Harris being innovative and not chasing what others are doing seemed, umm... pointed. Illitch also mentioned the people who helped. There are currently five VP's or AGM's on staff. Four were named. David Chadd wasn't.

Well... I really hope the country votes like I'm going to vote... I don't give a shit if the Democratic nominee is gay, or a woman, or black, or green, or from Venus. I don't give a shit if the nominee is a California liberal, or a socialist, or progressive, or a centrist. I don't give a shit if the Democratic nominee is 90, or 19. I'm voting straight ticket Dem... in every election... until MAGA-hate-filled-fascism is eliminated out of the Republican Party. Which may never happen. Which means I may never vote Republican again... because I don't see that happening in my lifetime.

I've watched both Rams games and they really haven't looked great. Stafford is throwing a lot of picks which he started to at the end of last year. I'm becoming convinced that McVay builds up QBs and then breaks them.

That never gets old. Good ol Triple7. I would imagine that with some work, the archive of that thread could be resurrected.

I was yesterday years old when I learned that "America" is the same song as "God Save The King" with different lyrics. Troll level expert.

Exactly. Putting players in the best position for success. Building confidence and having their backs is the sign of a good coach. It's been awhile since we've had that. Wayne Fontès?

Nuts?? You mean like the guy wearing his sunglasses 🕶 ….. on the back of his head? 🤪

You can't hire a GM from another organization to be a GM unless they aren't under contract. You can hire them for a higher title. That's behind almost all title creep. Anyways, the GM of the following teams is not the top dog in baseball ops: Brewers, Guardians, Rays, Athletics, Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, Giants, Cubs, Twins, Red Sox, Royals Most teams have 3-6 or so AGM's or VP's (in Baseball Ops), with some having as many as 12-15. A lot of AGM/VP's are, again, promoted to keep from being poached. Kevin Goldstein had a segment on this on his nascent podcast between his Astros and Twins job. You really like your player development director? Promote him to Assistant General Manager-Player Development, and he can't be hired as Player Development Director. Anyways, I'm not kidding when I say I deep dived the org charts of all 30 organizations last month. In general, your baseball ops org structure: President, Baseball Ops General Manager Assistant General Manager (Special Assistant is somewhere on this tier. Some are ceremonial, like Horton. Some are doing actual work, like Slater/McLeod/Goldstein) Director Assistant Director Coordinator Manager (Not like AJ Hinch manager. I'm talking in the analytics department, manager is a tier) And from here it depends on the department. There was remarkable standardization on this front. There are also several duel titles on the executive side that some baseball ops people get President Executive Vice President Vice President Did you know Al Avila was EVP? Did you know Menzin, Sartori, Chadd, Bream, and Garko are VP's?

So Chris Ilitch goes out and gets the hottest young talent, from a successful organization. I don't recall anyone predicting an outcome like that.
