Getting ready for my walk along the river today and I’m sitting on a bench in front of a candy store and Mr. Jelly Belly is a little too friendly but at least he doesn’t talk a blue streak. Have a good game fellow travelers.

Remember the following when trading prospects for rentals : 1. No guaruntee the prospect will ever make or excel in the Majors BUT : 2. No guarantee the acquired player will perform well down the stretch AND 3. No guarantee EVEN IF the acquired player performs well we will win in the playoffs. So trades, any trade at any time, must be equal value or better in return. Do not panic. Keep the Program growing.

Did he recognize you from MotownForums?

Carp in right for Toledo tonight.

When the team is firing on all cylinders, all or most of the lineup is really working counts and driving up the pitch count. That’s more what I want to see than anything with Riley. If he strikes out a lot, then ok…..but make them work to strike you out. Same thing has been going for Carpenter this year too. If a pitcher gets ahead in the count against either of them, then they just start swinging for the fences and the at bat becomes less competitive. We’ve been strong this year because guys like Gleyber, Javy, Tork, and McKinstry have done a much better job YoY in at bat quality. I’d just like to see Riley be the face of that and truly become an elite hitter. We all know he has that potential.

There was something circling right wing media a while back where they stole Ashley Biden’s diary from her childhood and she supposedly alleged something about Biden being inappropriate with her.

That's what people get for following and posting Torkmoil.

BA Database has everybody but Rogers and Leffew signed and only $2,640 of pool space left before hitting draft penalties. I doubt they sign.

The first place Blue Jays are not trading their starting SS so they can downgrade CF from Varsho to Meadows.

I hope Meadows isn't dealing with something still.

This is like when you're feeling rundown at work and can't wait for the 4-day long weekend to come so you can feel rejuvenated. Then you come back from that weekend hoping for a fresh start and a week later you're feeling as burnt out as you did beforehand.

PPS: Parker Meadows also becomes tradeable if we trade for someone like Bo Bichette... Stick Baez in center until his contract runs out or Clark is ready; whichever comes first. Just sayin'...

I don't vehemently disagree that his strikeouts are somewhat of a problem since they hurt his OBP. His batting average is higher this year, so I don't know that "not putting the ball in play" is the issue" His BB rate is down too which hurts his OBP more. He seems to be sacrificing OBP for home runs and his home runs have been productive. Last year, his OBP/SLG was .348/.479 and this year it is .325/.530. The end result is the same: 135 wRC+ versus 136 wRC+.

Skubal to the paternity list, Hicklen DFA, and Melton gets the call up. Greene is getting the day off to decompress and correct things.

Next time the Tigers throw up a stinker here's a show recommendation. The Partridge Family Goes To Detroit. Aired in 1971. "From Season 1, Episode 18 'Soul Club' - The Partridges and Ruben are in Detroit for a performance. Due to a booking mix-up, they arrive at the place where the Temptations are expected. The audiences are totally different. The Partridges agree to perform and hope for the best". Appearances by Richard Pryor, Lou Gossett Jr. Not to mention by series regular, the lovely Susan Dey. What more can you ask for.

Trout spends too much time injured. Pass.

Just need three more wins to avoid 100 loses.

Speaking of unhinged Ndamukong Suh: I should have been paid more than Matthew Stafford in Detroit

At least Trump wasn't a black women. That'd be bad.

The bigger problem is how they did so in November.

I guess young people don't like **** bags.

Have his political opponent commit suicide by stabbing themselves 17 times in the back and then falling out of a window

What would Putin do?

Down to 3-5-9-11? AWESOME!!! And we signed Ethan Rogers TOO! I asked Harris to get all his guys signed... And it looks like he might hit that outta the park!
