The difference is you both made the choice for yourselves and didn’t need and shouldn’t have had anybody else deciding that path or making comments on what you chose to do and why. His comments reek of “let me tell you what’s best for you…” and that’s where the insult occurs. Just keep your mouth shut about what women should do. It’s none of your business. And totally unrelatable coming from a pro athlete raised by a mom with an andvanced degree. And it’s not just men who do this. Women struggle with other women making judgements on their choices. Those who want to work are judged for not putting their kids first or for not even having kids. Those who stay home are judged for “just” doing that. Once my wife was asked “oh you have to work?” In a very snide way at a chick gathering not long after our kids were born. She said “I’m sure we could make it work but I enjoy getting out 2-3 days a week using my degree and being around adults”. We saw that same lady about 15 years later at a 40th birthday for the mutual friend. She was divorced.

The only pissed off Tiger right now is Reese Olson

I like the idea of drafting up the middle if the choices aren't too much of a reach. SS, CF, SP, C.

I've read this a few times. I think you've got a combination of sarcasm and reality that masks from me what you're getting at. Bottom line is this. You're married, and so you and your wife have to make life decisions that you think are best for your family. That's fine, some of us around here are married, we get the drill. But those decisions are for you to make. Butker's return to priests with backs turned to the congregation while conducting Catholic mass in Latin commentary was about men being men and women being women, pure and simple. There is no gray area about what he was getting at. And so **** his opinion on that.

In Skubal's 24 starts dating back to his return last July he has thrown 1 run or less in 14 of them and in 10 gave up 0 runs. He doesn't have the volume of innings that prime JV or Max had but on a rate basis I don't think any Tigers pitcher in atleast 50 years has had a run like he is on the last 10 months.

They just had to follow the trail of bad hair dye and gin bottles

Links or it didn't happen.

Damn, that kid just got Torked lol

If I’m understanding you correctly, you are suggesting that Scalia is better qualified to try out as a pro placekicker.

I guess I don't even care if a person want to say in public that Vatican II was a heresy (I see you Ross Douthat!), you cross the line as soon as you project that you are judging or invalidating someone else's choice for themselves, whether you do it for religious grounds or atheistic philosophy grounds. You can tie this right to what is so wrong about Alito on the SCOTUS (and Scalia before him, whose son was an RC priest IIRC). He seems to think his view of proper RC/Christian history and culture should have some currency to decide what other people do with their lives. If he wants to live that life, fine, but leave it at the courtroom door or find a new line of work for the sake of the rest of us.

If you change the rule to 3 players need to stand right next to each other and do the X thing, maybe they can get OnlyFans to sponsor this reset timeout?

We might know a guy that knows guy that knows a guy that knows

I predict the offense scores no runs.

This is the issue with it. "Let me interrupt your graduation ceremony with my personal beliefs of what's best for you women out there".

Which is 53 years ago so Randy's statement still stands... 😉

adjustment Actually didn't AOC call MTG "baby girl", that's a pretty good slam, though maybe not in MTGs exurban REDneck of the woods.

Hard to believe the Tigers are playing .500 ball and that’s only good for 5.5 out and 4th place in the supposed worst division in all of baseball. I would’ve called you crazy if you told me this back in spring training.

Ever watch a White House press briefing? If you miss it, you can go back and watch them on youtube and I think c-span usually has the most recent one up.

Ah, yes, tell the females in your life their only job is to procreate and cook. Let me know how that works for you.

I heard on a podcast that Baez is actually one of the team leaders in either AVG or OPS with RISP. I cannot find that matrix. However, check this little stat out. 19.3% of his inherited base runners have scored vs the Tiger team total of 14.5%. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/2024-batting.shtml If you're interested, scroll down to Team PH/HR/Situ Hitting*.

Clearly doing shots for each Tiger baserunner. Normally it wouldn't be concerning.

Ive seen some mocks that have us taking college OF Honeycutt from NC. He's got a nice collection of tools including 60 power and speed...but I don't think a 28% k rate will fly with the Tigers current mgmnt. Rainer would be nice if he's still there.

Interesting new rule in the WNBA. The reset timeout. You get one per half and then another if it goes to OT. You call timeout in a normal way, but then immediately make an X across your chest. You can advance the ball and substitute, but you can not huddle. If either team huddles or prevents the ball from immediately being put back into play they will receive a delay of game penalty.

that was fun.

Not the best thing to say, but.... and hear me out......have you seen MTG?

I was thinking... That maybe, just maybe... The hitting coaches today said "All right, just screw it, if you see a good pitch, go ahead and swing." That's my conspiracy theory and I'm sticking to it.

How long do we have to wait before demanding the hitting coaches be fired?

That game was a bunch of singles. At least this one includes a good bit of gap power.

These are the runs for the month. We'll be getting shutout for the next several games...

Vibrating butt plugs over bluetooth?

Working the count really only works if you know what to do with a hittable pitch when you get it.

Keith now 8 for his last 21.

Instead of working the count, the Tigers decided to just put the ball in play. Good things happen when you put the ball in play.

Miami just shutout the Mets. 28 scoreless innings for the worst run prevention outfit in MLB. Baseball.

Skubal is filthy

I really think they've found something in Wenceel Perez....

Gibson and Benetti lobbying for the Tigers to swing the bat more.

exciting news, it will be interesting to see if or when he gets in a game

Almost every team would have taken him. He lost a year of development during COVID. Was brought up before he was ready and put into a terrible lineup, where he was expected to carry much of the load. You put him on a better team, bat him 7th to start out and he's probably further ahead by now.

What have the Romans ever done for us?!

Call up Franyerber!

Probably explains his recent performance at Toledo. Hope it’s not serious. Welcome back—I hope this is the last of your work-related distractions so you can prioritize the minor league updates this summer.

05/14/24 Lakeland Flying Tigers placed C Josue Briceño on the 7-day injured list. Not sure what for also to note Wilmer Flores is on the IL as well.

Two game sevens on Sunday and I already have plans.
