So glad I decided to go at the last minute. And surprisingly I even stayed till the end and didn’t leave when they were losing since that’s usually what happens there. What a game. What a team. El Mago so nice to see you again

I agree, in the sense that I think Fox News is a toilet.

I tried to tell all you guys 3 years ago that Dingler wasn't going to develop into anything but oh no, you wouldn't listen to me.

Would love to see that series with Ivey and Stew playing.

Stephen has got to be the creepiest person in the country.

Like I said above, it just isn't worth it in this day and age. When even the elite guys are only throwing 100 pitches at most you're only looking at about 6 innings a start and about 180-190 innings a year. At those numbers the difference between an elite guy and average guy just isn't that much in terms of run differential. Not nearly enough to justify the cost.

so much of this season hangs on whether Torkelson and Baez can keep doing what they are doing. They've been a huge boost. You could say the same for McKinstry but I have no doubt that in his case he will cool down - it may still be a career year for him just from the boost off this start, but he's the one player I'll bank on coming at least most of the way back to earth.

Starting pitchers aren't worth what they used to be, even as great as Skubal is he rarely goes more than 7 and will be under 200 innings a year. Last year in 192 innings Skubal gave up 54 runs, a league average starter with a 4.00 ERA would have given up 84 so 30 runs over the course of the season. Definitely not insignificant but is it worth what Skubal will command in FA? Not to me it isn't, so keep him for the next 2 seasons and let somebody else overpay for his decline years.

Having an expensive military parade for a draft dodger who just fired a bunch of veterans from government positions under the guise of a budget crisis is beyond disgusting. What is this? North Korea?

I'm baffled by the way JB has handled Ausar's minutes in this series. Brunson loves it though

Well, you are listening like an 11 year old, but your falling asleep in the 3rd inning like a post 60-year old.

Greater than the Great Depression. The Greatest Depression!

I will say, about the only way to get Trump to care about Ukraine not falling to Russia is to ensure that he gets something out of it. I really don't know what precious minerals Ukraine has, but do they match up with the needs of Trumps favorite oligarchs though? That's the ultimate question. If it's just potash and none of the tech bros care about that and Trump can't find someone to ensure he gets a piece of the profit, then the deal is worthless. If Trump can profit though, he'll have no problem using the military to ensure he gets it.

Looks like Vierling is going to start his rehab in Toledo this weekend. Will be interesting on who he replaces on the 26 man.

With the mineral deal signed (excellent negotiating on Ukraine's part to get a fair deal instead of Trump's "ream them up the ass" deal he first proposed...); Trump needs to take a hard line with Russia. I know he doesn't want to... but he now needs to declare a "No-Fly Zone" west of the Dnieper and put American troops and Air Defenses in the western part of Ukraine in order to shoot down Russian missiles... and their launch capabilities if necessary.

I'm getting yelled at but one more thing. People listing our cap space this year are not counting on Cade making all nba. The extension he signed last summer becomes a lot bigger if he makes all nba. You will need to subtract another $9 million off of any cap number currently being reported if ne makes one of the all nba teams.

Imagine being that much of a cocksucker like Jesse Watters is for this administration and not even being gay to enjoy it. At least as a bisexual man I enjoy it. I don't like big balls though, average sized is fine for me. The water carrying and **** licking going on at Fox News is and always will be pathetic. The lack of real journalism this sycophants display at Fox is truly incredible.

Unless we have an anti-2024 and go something like 10-30 in the next 40 games, the chances we trade Skubal while we are in playoff contention are absolute zero, and that goes double if we are leading our division in July, and triple if we have the best record in the league. We are not the Al Avila Tigers anymore. We don’t have to scheme to get unproven birds in the bush when the bird we have in the hand now can help us win a ring this year. Good teams simply don’t trade away the top of their roster just as they start dominating their league, all because they might lose a guy two years from now. That thinking strikes me as some sort of trauma-induced anxiety. You guys, I got the name of a good therapist for you … 😉

Will we now say when they score 10 that its a CW McCall?

I peeked a couple times at my phone during dinner, which was a great green curry at a Thai place. But we were behind and a couple hours later when I looked at the phone, I expected to see bad news, but eight runs in the last two innings? Wow.

This is probably just another revenge move for Trump, but going after the Fed for wasting money would be the first good thing DOGE has done. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musk-says-doge-should-examine-federal-reserve-costs-bloomberg-news-reports-2025-05-01/

Seriously, Javy might be a better CF than Vierling. Play Vierling at 3B against a heavy LH hitting team with Javy in CF, swap them against LHP with Ibanez getting some AB in there also.

Vierling, Greene and McKinstry in the outfield, Carpenter DH, Baez 3B, Sweeney SS.

Tigers rockin' a full +2 RAB tonight!

DINGLER DINGER!!!!

DINGLER DONG! 7-4!

Good job smarties

When Vierling is back do you sit Sweeney most nights and put Javy at SS?

This was the game right here. Called it as soon as I saw it happen. And it wasn’t just this game either. Ausar has been mishandled by JB for most of the series.

king had 44 points and 12 boards in that game. isiah had 35 points and 12 assists. great back and forth.

I thought Duren was excellent tonight.

He’s definitely going to EO a public holiday for his own birthday (which is also Flag Day) while killing off Juneteenth.

I honestly thought Brunson pushed off to get open in the end.

I mean, Beasley was one of the best 3PT shooters in the league this year and was wide open. You pass him the ball 100 times out of 100.

Why is he coming out

Regardless of outcome this team will only get better.

A summary of Kenta Maedea: His hurling was very unadroit. He will not pitch for Detroit.

I don't get these lineups at all.

Nope. But at least they lost their challenge this time and not us (yet).

Cade can't wait until the 4th quarter. Need a complete game from him tonight.

I really hate these West Coast games. In the eastern time zone games begin for me in the mountain zone anywhere from 4:40 PM to 5:10 PM. And for all of you in the eastern zone, these games are painfully late. I’m not an 11 year-old listening impishly on a transistor radio late at night and getting one over on my parents. Late starts are annoying.

must be Jordan Zimmerman and Mike Pelfry didnt have enough innings

For whatever reason those of us who don't normally watch Faux don't raise a fuss when we see it on in a business. We notice and file it away in our memory banks for future business. Faux fans on the other hand tend to complain.

That’s a lot of lawns to mow.

trump has someone new writing for him. You can tell because: a) this is too long to be a normal Trump post b) the vocabulary is several steps above the normal Trump post c) it's too logical to be a normal Trump post. d) and the slam dunk: there is actual concern expressed for people other than Trump.
