Great job on these daily snapshots!

"I want to put together a team that will help us relocate to Las Vegas..."

Proposed MLB rule change: Any batter runner executing a cartwheel between bases counts for two runs if he/she subsequently scores.

Also, Hittin' Harold's versatility was of the Shane Halter genre, to suck at 7 positions.

A little national hype for Malloy from the (no longer verified) MLB Pipeline Twitter acct

The guy who called him out was a Trump voter BTW...

I'm pretty certain Trump would still win the primary even if he's dead.

You stood there like a house by the side of the road.

If the Raiders want the 6th pick, they'll have to pay extra for losing to the Rams.

Indeed! It wasn't as cold as I expected to be, plus winning always adds a few degrees. If you watched the games, you would have seen Kerry Carpenter's walk off homer sail right through my son's hands and ending up bouncing right to the guys sitting in front of us (with me watching it all and doing nothing).

Hope all is well brother

I know Hitting Harold is the stuff of legends around here, but honestly despite all the hate when the acquisition initially happened, I think I'd rather have Zach McKinstry

Nice response from the skipper to all those morons that thought this was a 56 win team.

there was a lot of failure in the early experiences with Ti. The problem is Chloride, and the weird thing - and probably the reason it was hard to figure out initially, is that Ti is very resistant to sea-water and Chlorides of all kinds - at room temp. The trick is that if you have even a trace of Cl present and get the Ti hot enough, you're going to get a failure. Even the sweat from a welder's hands can do in a weld on Ti.

Didn't know where else to put this, but ... uhhhhh ... https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/ai-chatbot-learning/?location=alert

reminds me of the Jerry Tarkanian line: “The NCAA was so mad at Kentucky they gave Cleveland State two more years of probation.”

oh, watch out friends of Putin

Hospitals here made masks optional now. She's seeing many co workers faces for the first time. "Ah, so that's what you got going on? Not what I expected"

The good news is that warmer weather is coming so these will all probably just go away. I’m sure we will be at zero cases very, very soon.

They should’ve paid the extra $8 a month.

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly is a term I was previously unfamiliar with.

This year's model of Dallas Keuchel now available for pickup

no game today. what am I gonna do? on 4/20 ? I can't think of anything !

its like pretending that Tucker Carlson isn't rooting for Putin when he claims he's "just asking questions"

Lol The best part: the guy who proved Lindell wrong was a Trump voter in 2020.

Imagine how sad a person has to be to defend a dictatorship run by Putin

Streaky or not, it still all adds up to a solid 109 OPS+.

I don't know. Was the Soto trade made to fill 3B (sort of) or was it made to move Soto for some pieces that might be useful (Maton being one who has played mostly SS but also has played other IF)? Candelario was let go in mid November. Maton was traded for in early January. Ibanez and Nevin were acquired before Maton. Malloy was, too, but I doubt he was considered for MLB action. I guess what I am getting at is that I don't think retaining Candelario would have prevented or necessarily dissuaded Maton as part of a Soto deal. Maton could have been used at 2B with Candelario at 3B. We've seen Maton at 2B with Nevin at 3B. Soto has proven control issues. Maton has an eye for OBP outside of AVG. I think trading away a player like Soto and trading for a player like Maton fits into Harris' desire for controlling the strike zone.

Green is a plus defensive CF, which means even at a 700 OPS you are probably happy to start him. He's putting that up now at age 22 and still has plenty of upside to improve over his next 3 yrs and 1000+ PA. Could he burn out? Sure, any player can at any time. It's true Tork's situation is different. At 1b he has to produce more with the bat. BTW he shares the team lead in RBI. I don't know if it's fans everywhere or just in Det, but sometimes there is a real tendency to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Riley isn't Mickey Mantle, he's a bust!, Jerod Goff isn't Mahomes, bench him! You can win a lot of championships with a good depth of good players and zero superstars.

I think this make sense. You have to remember to separate the money from the masses when you look at the operation of the RW in the US. At the grass roots there is plenty of actual embrace of racism and what is effectively fascism - though the true believers surely don't even understand the term. But on the money end, it's still all about taxes and deregulation. The money people don't really like Trump, They know now that he brings too much risk and chaos. They don't really want to see everything come crashing down, they just want higher profits. Fox is run by Murdoch. An alternative to Trump that can win is at the top of his agenda right now. Of course he'll still take Trump's side if the alternative is a democrat with a corporate tax plan, but until then Fox will give GOP alternatives to Trump plenty of love.

I have a wooden fence and my neighbor children have broken out some slats. I let it slide since their homeland is being ravaged by Russians and their family is in exile in Poland but I do wish they would stop busting my fence. I have actually blocked Fox News, OANN and Newsmax so I don't even accidentally turn them on.

Joe was a real son of a bitch, wasn't he?

Zach of all trades, Master of none

It took me almost three years too. In a way I was glad to finally get it over with and find out what it was all about. One of my kids got it a second time last week and the rest of us were fine. What an odd disease.

There are so many ways you can use this gif.

Guys like Parker and Winfield, and Ellis Valentine, got lots of love as defensive right fielders but for me Evans was the best of all of them. That, and a serious power bat, and a long career, should have gotten more Hall consideration than it did.

We are not done yet, but Beef has been pretty good so far.

It’s absolutely the best way to draft in this situation when you are starting year 1 of a potential window as a legitimate deep playoff contender. They have 2 first round picks and a boatload of draft capital. Use these picks to help fill current holes and add young rotational depth to positions of value.. Any QB would be drafted to sit the bench and have no impact for this year and next too if things go how you want this season. No chance to make the team better now. Wilson and the corners and pretty much anyone else would at least have an opportunity to help. QB at 6 is such a waste right now.

The Juan Gone trade still ranks as a real stinkeroonie given what we gave up for one year of ineffectual sulking

Trumpism without the Trump is just fascism without the fun.

Sorry, hope it isn't too bad. Between COVID the first of the month and my five year colon check Monday it's been an interesting month so far.

If he’s a horse, give him invermectin, if he’s hoarse, give him a Ricola.

His first appearance on Letterman, especially the final 2 minutes, rocked me. It’s still one of the most talked about comedy routines ever, I hear comedians referencing it all the time. Joe Rogan recently, for example, was going on about its impact. Similar to the content of the clip you posted, but I think the big thing about the Letterman appearance is that we were all hearing it for the first time. I do think Kinison wore out his welcome though and his shtick got old after a couple of years.

The Chosen. I cannot recommend it enough.

I’ve come to the sad conclusion that said chocolate bar never made it to the packages I was bagging…. I can only hope the next person after me on line saw it & threw it in their bag and enjoyed it this afternoon.* (*suppressed whimper)

Finally caught up with me.
