Hilary Clinton is too. Another narcissist. She is selling "but her e-mails" tee shirts and we wonder why not enough people take this stuff seriously.

On another note, how bout dem Mets and Padres?

what a wonderful self-fulfilling prophecy: this team sucks bad, so it makes sense that we spent no money on free agents to improve it. how is that not the same argument that can be made this winter? we are not ready to spend because - you guessed it - the team sucks bad, in part because we spent no money on free agents to improve it. Harris has a 2023 payroll less than the major league average and is $13M less than last year when they had a historically bad offense. as a a fan, it is NOT my job to correctly identify the players that can help this team in free agency, the draft, through trades, Rule 5 draft or any other way. Harris and Co. are paid - literally - millions of dollars to do that. what would this team look like with Jean Segura, Wil Myers and Brian Anderson? I have no effing clue! solutions are NOT coming from the farm. Through 2024, Keith might be up as a major league starter. but everyone else (Malloy, Meadows, Jung, ...) looks like more of what we have a lot of (outside of Green and maybe Baez): 1-2 WAR bench, platoon, and complimentary guys. I also see you stopped referencing the Rangers pointless FA spending spree in the winter of 2021, now that they are in 1st place.

Yeah, frustrating as he's been, he shouldn't be written off at this point either.

Yeah. It supported over 200 Democratic candidates. It also supported things like Planned Parenthood, racial justice and voting rights. Donald Trump as is asking you to donate to a legal fund for crimes he committed. They are not the same thing.

Is the outrage all the Bankers Boxes of classified documents or the interior design choices? That carpet is hideous

I'd also say that with a *good* 3B and Moreno's double is an out and Boyd is out of the inning before Gurriel comes up. The differences between good teams and bad teams tend to be all over the field.

Tomorrow's game is at 11:35 am on Peacock. I'm going to cancel my subscription so I don't have to watch it.

Torkelson was better in May (783 OPS) than in April(575) but then went 0 for Philly. If he gets back to his May pace we'll be having less of this discussion. And I like this. Torkelson only swings at the 1st pitch in 30% of his PA - compared to the fact the almost any decent MLB pitcher is throwing more than 50% strikes on the 1st pitch. But the better part is that when he does swing at the 1st pitch, his K rate is 13%, When he takes it, it's 27%. That's not a skill problem, it's a tendency, and I if were him, I'd think about mving away from it. Now granted, taking the 1st pitch worked for Joe Mauer and he won a couple of batting championships, but not everybody is Joe Mauer.

What are the chances these are Russian “supporters”?

Never said they were the same thing. It is still fund raising off of this, which is icky. Even if the fundraising supposedly goes to causes you support. I don't like fundraising off the legal system here.

Depending on what the guys ahead of him did Keith could move into 2nd in the Eastern League in OPS after tonight.

Wonder if the Tigers give some consideration to moving Jung and/or Keith to 1B? They are both roughly the same size as Torkelson, and Spencer is no sure thing. The knock against both guys has been their defense. Could they make the transition to 1B?

And if she never said it, she might have won too.

Jung, Bigbie and Serretti all hitting the ball for WM..

Lorenzen actually pitched pretty well tonight, but didn't have a seventh inning in him. You can't really say he was left in too long though. He cruised through innings 3-6 and his pitch count count was low.

The fact that my username is typed as one word should answer that! lol

He's up to 6th in the whole league in OPS and tied for 5th in homers, top 3 in both the past 15 days.

Anyone that still supports trump is either a moron or a traitor to this country. Shame on you if you are either or both.

this is for the stuff in April, but it still seems about right for today.

The tweets about Paredes homers hurt my soul.
