I would rather suffer the two-second separation between the video and the audio on radio overlay than have to listen to two innings of chatting up some basketball player in the booth.

Jim Joyce? didn’t he also author Galarraga and The Imperfect Game?

I was fine giving JB another year. But man, I don't know.

JB forgot about Ausar again and Magic are on a 15-2 run.

That’s an offensive foul.

I know we still got the out, but man, what a bad look for Flaherty to drop that ball. It makes it look like he just doesn’t give a **** anymore.

Moron coach.

I'm finding the EV is close to perfect as an around the town vehicle, but when we replace the other car it will likely be with a hybrid SUV that gives me a 48" wide floor that can carry larger cargo

The Willie picture got me started, remembering how he held his bat: I would have sworn he held it even higher when he was younger. I learned he played 2 full seasons in the PCL AFTER 18 years in MLB. I never knew that. This is a great article on Willie, anyone young enough not to know what he did during the Detroit riot of 1967 should read it to understand why he's so beloved in this town. https://baseballhall.org/discover/horton-a-hero-on-and-off-the-field

Right. But if there were a greater demand for what she was selling, she probably would have had no troubles raising the money necessary to be competitive to Platner in the primary. But the polls of Mainers continually painted a different story... This is sort of the problem to me... I understand the skepticism of Platner given what we know about the guy. But the qualitative and quantitative evidence suggests that she was never going to be a competitive candidate to Platner, even with his flaws. It was a miss on recruitment by the establishment here, it is what it is.

She probably should have ran for MI-11 with Stevens running for senate.

Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill are both much different candidates than Janet Mills.

As a Never Trumper i concede that i’m only voting against something right now.

conor mcdavid and leon draisatl did that. ken got them darnell nurse's contract.

Stancil wants the US political environment to be different from the one we currently live in.

I read last week somewhere that for next year if you wanted to watch ALL of the NFL games you would need 10 streaming services to do so. That's nuts. That's the NFL, not MLB, I understand. I gave up a long time ago and spent 25 bucks on a Firestick and hacked it. I don't get them all, but most of them. Not without issues, but I'm not paying squat. Screw them all.

On the topic of broadcast markets, it still blows my mind that Windsor, Ontario is considered Blue Jays market. Windsor is significantly closer to Comerica Park than most suburbs of Detroit, let alone the rest of Michigan. Yet we are supposed to be Blue Jays fans due to the international border. But I'll tell you what really pisses me off, are all these games that are blacked out because they are on some streaming service. AppleTV for example. So generally we are expected to have subscriptions to half a dozen different streaming services (in addition to MLB.tv) to watch the Tigers?! Maybe that's the norm in certain households, but definitely not mine. I just don't watch that much TV to justify subscriptions to Netflix, AppleTV, Peacock, etc. Yet there are baseball games scattered on these services which causes a blackout on mlb.tv?! That pisses me off! End of rant.

Congrats to Bill Guerin for having the sack to make a big move and trade for Quinn Hughes even without a contract commitment. He knew it wouldn’t be a waste even if he couldn’t sign him long term. Even if it’s only 2 years, it’s been a massive success winning their first playoff series in a decade.

East coast if you consider the Cascade Mountains as the continental divide and the Spokane River like an ocean.

Love me some Willie. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Down goes Edmonton!

I can't believe the Celtics are going to 7 games.

Don't disagree. But that just demonstrates how much Schumer's org is out of gas itself.

he's running as a progressive, completely the opposite of Fetterman, who ran as a conservative dem. I'm with MTU - not my state, not my fight, but I'm glad you guys don't vote in Maine.

I was listening to this game driving up to the mountains in Central Idaho for the day and just when the Tigers had a 3–2 lead in the eighth I thought OMG they’ll bring Kenley out! Then I drove into a kind of ravine where there was no cell phone signal, and when the signal finally came back, it was the last pitch for Finnegan. So I missed two runs being scored in the top of the ninth and all of Finnegan but for the last pitch, and the joy of no Kenley, but dammit it was sweet.

They’re supposed to be good on camera as mouthpieces for the regime, but not so smart that they have their own ideas about how things should be done.

Worked on game 5...

Might as well kick off May with a win.

Of course Peck is a MLB SS if he can hit.

I wish that we lived in a world where competency and results mattered. We don't.

LLM doing good. Thanks for the frequent updates and highlighting our top prospects.

2 walks and zero strikeouts for Rainer is very nice to see.

The MLB app on my phone keeps excitedly broadcasting news about another dramatic “Home Run robbery!” My natural suspicions aroused I decided to “ask the Internet” and this is what I found. 1. Declining Fence Heights and Distances. Modern ballparks have trended toward shorter and more uniform fence heights, making robberies physically possible for more outfielders. Direct Impacts: Specific renovations have directly led to more robberies. For example, lowering the center field fence at Rogers Centre (10 to 8 feet) and Comerica Park (8.5 to 7 feet) immediately resulted in several successful "thefts" that would have been impossible with the old dimensions. Average Heights: The average wall height in center field is now 8.4 feet, making it the primary zone for robberies. In contrast, stadiums with higher walls, like Wrigley Field (up to 16 feet), are often "dead zones" where robberies almost never occur. 2. Increase in Fly Balls and "Wall Action" The "launch angle revolution" has resulted in more balls being hit in the air with enough distance to clear the fence, increasing the opportunity for a catch at the wall. Frequency: In the decade from 2005-2014, robberies occurred roughly once every 60 games; by 2019, that frequency increased to once every 29 games. 3. Advanced Defensive Positioning Teams now use Statcast data and analytics to position outfielders more effectively. Deeper Positioning: Outfielders are often positioned deeper than in previous eras (sometimes 5-9 feet deeper on average), which actually shortens the distance they must run to reach the wall in time for a jump. Training and Technology: Players receive detailed reports on their jump times, routes, and catch probabilities, allowing them to refine the "science and art" of tracking both the ball and the wall simultaneously.

its funny because its osu, but it goes on everywhere. the idea that most bball or football players go to michigan for the academics is silly. osu has so many university wide scandals right now theyre beginning to rival michigan!

I so loved Willie Horton that I named my tiger striped cat - who was allowed to be an outdoor cat because we were like that back then - and when I came home from school one day in probably 1965 I received the sad news that Willie had been hit by a car and had died because he was playing in the fall leaves on Jackson Street in Auburn Indiana. I was heartbroken.
