That's how it should be every year now. I want them to try to be reasonably competitive next year. I don't want to hear any more "Harris has to see what he has so they can't do anything" talk. They can try to be competitive and build for the future at the same time.

You can blame the owner for that. Dan impressed me hugely last night by tearing into the ownership of the A’s and how they have neglected the park, the team, and totally screwed over the fans. He spent maybe five minutes of air time breaking the whole thing down. He was very critical of the owner, calling his name several times. I wish I could have recorded his words. Nobody anywhere could have said as much as he did so succinctly. And every syllable was the absolute truth. Yes the team is bad. But the issue all along has been the greedy owner using the team as a pawn for what he wanted. That MLB allows this is disgusting.

Btw 1 more win guarantees us of a loss total in the 80s. Idk something visually about that looks so much better than 90+ losses. Like it feels like you were almost a .500 team.

Finally we have ATACMS

A lot of tickets sold for his last few home games. Prop him up, use a cardboard cutout...prolly could run faster...😏😒

That's good. A franchise that isn't even trying to win should not get the #1 pick.

I wonder how different the vibes here would be if the Lions had won a coin toss last Sunday.

The day before Trump brings his traveling "medicine show" to town

I'm not saying he can't do anything. Of course he can do something, and I suspect he will do as much something as he can. What I'm basically saying is, I'd be surprised if he pushed all his chips in this winter and started dealing from the top of the system in exchange for established major leaguers in a long-shot bid to win a weak division next year. In any event, maybe the key to winning next year isn't trading top prospects for established major leaguers, or even signing top free agents. Maybe the key is to get more out next year of the players we have on the team and in the system already. They've poured a ton of resources into the development function for just that reason.

It’s probably regifted.

I love how right wing media is trying their hardest to ignore that these indictments were handed down by the SDNY.

or you know played defense, so said coin toss wouldn't have mattered.

Does the longer the quote mean the less they can field ?

Who thought the Tigers would still be mathematically in it into September 22?

bryce young hurt already? no way...

Atlanta has only had 2 scoring drives this year that were 70 yards or more. So most of their scoring drives have been on a shortened or shorter field. If they aren't a team that drives the length of the field to score it seems to me like punting and backing them up deep in their own territory is better strategy then being super aggressive and going for it all the time.

Is that the top shelf at Walgreens?

Seen him earlier this year. Don't expect much, he did 2 songs then his kids do the rest of the show.

Jerry Reed was a good picker too...

Going to see Willie tonight out at Pine Knob.

Bob & his stupid ass wife should go to jail. and I don’t want to hear any bull**** like “well let’s see what happens during the trial“. He should resign today, and he and his idiot wife should shut their mouth, go to trial, and then go straight off to the orange jumpsuits. I’m sick of this ****.

How about a long reliever who pitches 2 or 3 innings per appearance? I have often wondered why there are so many regular starters who throw 150+ innings and so many relievers who throw 60-70 innings, but not so many in between (not be design anyway). I would think there are more pitchers who could thrive in roles where they pitch 40-50 games and throw around 100 innings.

Skubal now has allowed 2 HITS or less in 5 out of his 14 starts. Is that good?

Perish the thought!!!

Jake takes 3 straight called strikes after 3-0. I like Jake but that's a terrible AB!

Marlins gave him rum.

im not writing it off as a loss, it just seems like they are the less healthy of the two teams and that usually leads to a loss. hopefully they dont turn the ball over and atlanta does.

Can you imagine him being locked in a room with three of his fervent red hat supporters? He’d be screaming and clawing at the door until his fingers bled trying to get out.

Another route that works is to be the half-wit son of a famous baseball executive, like Smith and McHale.

I read that he distinguished himself during the interview process by saying he wanted to toughen up the Tigers. No one else thought to bring that up.

A good last name for a job in the Tigers organization.

Which somebody whose parents can send you to get two Ivy degrees without blinking can probably handle.

So... As somebody a year older than Greenberg who flirted with the idea of trying to get into baseball, I have some unique thoughts. He's a guy whose dad owned the Rangers, who helped Mario Lemeiux buy the Penguins, etc. Was able to get two degrees from ivies. Was an unpaid intern for teams/MLB until he was 26, then joined the Cubs front office. Meanwhile, somebody who wasn't born into money had to pay his own way through school and racked up student loan debt couldn't possibly go the unpaid route for that long and be financially solvent. The financial necessity side of it is why I never tried to make the jump. No conclusions, just wanted to throw that out there that the infrastructure stacks the front office deck against a lot of people.

I think Jobe has a strong chance to be that guy.

Actually, Trump hates our military, Exhibit 3749593

I saw a great gambling story, Kevin Pollak telling it to Rich Eisen. He said that Walter Matthau was such a committed gambler that at his funeral on the back of the paper showing the order of service were Walter's picks for the games coming up that week.

… had to share both. 😂😂

We do this in Oregon already. Tipping is still out of control.
