Never ever ever ever draft for need.

Kelly isn't Mike Piazza but in this day and age a catcher with a .740 OPS is nice offensive advantage.

Clark and McGonigle combine to be on base 8 times and steal 3 bags in a Lakeland romp. McGonigle 898 OPS, Clark 799

In his defense that ump got hit in the head and called strikes on a couple pitches out of the zone.

Since when do teams play like us against us?

So I am now old enough to seen enough dementia up close that I think I have some level of perspective and here are some things I would say: -there only rule with dementia is that there are no rules. - the patient may understand exactly what is happening and be able to compensate for a long time, or the patient be the last to know and in fact sometimes never comes to awareness of their condition. - I believe Jill Biden is a strong, intelligent woman and I do not believe she would let her husband attempt to serve if he were failing. That said, for all we know she may already be engineering his exit as per Romads supposition, or the two of them may be plotting how to put this behind them - we don't know yet, but certainly will soon enough. - I would also say that your brain may slow down and your down days get tougher, your reaction to drugs and minor illness get more extreme, all without there being any impairment of judgement or dementia involved.

Time clock. A lot of teams that are calling up these young prospects are very competitive (barring Pitsburg with Skenes). But a lot of the other prospects help their team win now and will push for playoffs. Tigers aren't close to being competitive but they need their position players to get their feet wet, ala Malloy, and Keith.... No need to start Jobes clock.

As an older guy, I think she’s still smokin’. 😎

This is her at the Oscars last year. I dont think she looks like an old hag at all. Her hair is white because that's what most often happens to women as they older and she quit dying it. Yeah she has wrinkles. That happens too to women, and men. Annette Bening is the same age and this is a recent photo. I just think there's a shock when we are used to seeing actresses as younger versions and then suddenly they hit that post 60 phase and things look different.

I don't know where you are going with this. MB has already given you the black and white chapter and verse. Presidents *always* go to Walter Reed for an annual - it's pretty much tradition over decades if nothing else (well maybe all except Trump who didn't want his being subject to any official view) https://www.audacy.com/connectingvets/articles/walter-reed-why-do-presidents-go-to-a-military-hospital

Yeah it is kind of like sending someone into a Baptist church and trying to sell them on being a Baptist lol.

Nice send there Cora. Never thought I would see a worse 3B coach for that than Gene Lamont.

You came to the right place if you’re looking for 10 different and conflicting opinions.

Drinking a cold iced tea, the glass sweating beads of moisture that drips on his shirt as he takes a long pull on it.

I think portraying a deeply urbane sophisticate as you as some sort of Strother Martin character from "Cool Hand Luke" is the comedy mine here.

Bert is sitting in a rocking chair on his long porch, his bloodhound Rufus is digging under the porch for some critter. Bert is wearing a seersucker suit, a straw boater resting an a very sweaty forehead. The temperature in Idaho is well above normal summer in the Pacific Northwest/Mountain region. He dabs his forehead with his pocket square and declares the heat "intolerable" and the MLB app "i pay the MLBtv in love and they repay me in the basest coin, pity."

Baez with two walks. Miller two innings of hitless ball. It’s Christmas in July (not a Red One reference).

All of our trade chips showed up today.

I like defeating the division rivals.

What's really getting lost in this conversation is that a person can get older and slow down without having dementia. I've been told within my own family from a family member (who doesn't have dementia) who has made the transition from 79 to 83 and how much of a difference it's made even for his stamina. But instead, the Twitter experts are throwing diagnoses because of course they are.

My father has early stage dementia. My uncle had it. Biden doesn’t. After reading the symptoms of stuttering, you can see it with Biden. The long eye blinks, the kind of rambling to say a word, and pauses. I never seen the kind of confusion and slow response my dad gets. My dad couldn’t read off a teleprompter or follow basic instructions and he is just a mild case in the early stages.

Who are you people and what have you done with the Detroit Tigers?

I don't think he has dementia, and I really dislike how mainstream speculation about various ailments has become during this process fwiw.

Jobe is a pitcher...the clock on his arm is already started.

Because the "elites" told them that Biden was the candidate, and these party elites made a full-court press to keep the young blood out of the primary to avoid damaging the incumbent. You have to be smart enough to see that happened. Please don't gaslight us anymore with this stuff about how nobody did the necessary back in the primary season. The facts are the facts. Biden is polling poorly considering how bad Trump is.

Also, they knew the not so distant history of the Catholic/Protestant Civil Wars that had devastated England across every social class. Few Englishman in the New World had any desire to copy the old in that regard.

FG: 7 STL Rainer; 10 WASH Konnor Griffin; 11 DET Ryan Waldschmidt, OF, Kentucky; 13 SFG Caminiti

The #Tigers are moving Kenta Maeda to the bullpen for the foreseeable future, manager A.J. Hinch said.

I was traveling through cornfield Ohio and barely getting reception on the play-by-play via the MLB app. This play in particular was slow to come across my mobular telephone. I thought we were in a dead zone, not enough deer antlers to help carry the signal. But, alas, it was only because some poor intern had to type a bible's worth of action into one single play. That poor kid probably has ice on his fingers today, and might be hitting the IL before lunch.

Well, too many throws. For me, it takes an act of congress to get the girl to follow the runner to the next base. The fact that Vierling had plus speed helped end the thing.

Here ya go, idiot. (It’s quite literally, the first ****ing amendment) One page from my handy-dandy little “The Constitution” book, which in 99 succinct and precise pages of writing include: - The Declaration of Independence - The Articles of Confederation - The Bill of Rights - Amendments

True. And he does have limited talent to choose from.

When the team wins a game like this, I feel like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow on a wet driveway.

Turns out Faedo and Foley were the only two fresh relievers coming into the game. Maybe Fetter saw something before the game that made him think Faedo was going to be sharper than Foley. Who knows. I'm at least 93% confident that A.J. Hinch wasn't trying to lose the game.

Holy ****, what a finish. Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of attempted defeat.

Clicked the presser on when it was live. Saw TJ talking about when he was in Cleveland that Stewart and Duren could stay in front of their guards. I thought, this guy is a ****ing idiot, and turned it off.

Tiger announcers sputtering all over each other making excuses for (another!!) runner being thrown out by a mile at home plate.

It’s a Mormon phrase that I jokingly use that I saw the Mormon girl in the first year of The Survivor TV show use because she was too polite to swear.

He's gonna start charging Colt an Uber fee for all the driving he's doing.

Enjoyed the presser, Bickerstaff had a good energy and went into details about the players and certain strategies. Monty didn't seem to know much about the team and he went on about how the money was too good to pass up, it doesn't mean much if Bickerstaff can't coach but it was a good first impression at least. Late comment on the Reed signing. I really like it, the Pistons badly needed another big and this one actually plays defense and is young enough to maybe have a little more offensive upside.

Nice. Love the slanted figure of the top.
