  3. That was noted during the game. Coming into tonight Cleveland had the lowest first pitch swing percentage in baseball so knowing the Tigers would play to that they flipped the switch and swung early. And scored Big.

  4. Not saying anything new here at all, but just to come back to the point that anything the Human organism doesn't keep working atrophies. I can't think of a single reason to think that won't be as true of brain function as it is of everything else.

  7. I'm in total agreement, but let's take it a step further. I think many who pay enough attention know the downside to this AI craze, including the massive market bubble, but many many others don't. They think it is the next best thing, the latest and greatest, and it will make our lives better. Look what we can do now, think what we will be able to as time goes on. They have a point. But... Where the computer world really changed things was time. They took math, therefore physics, and turned them into zero's and ones. IPS they call it - instructions per seconds. The rest is history. A football size room full of drafting boards using pencil, paper, a mechanical arm, and a slide rule used to design our cars, homes, bridges, airplanes, and the NASA crafts. The binary number system was the Oscar winner when it came to computers. But this AI stuff isn't the same thing. The internet has been a huge step forward for everyone, without a doubt, but it comes with a price. Usually jobs, because that's how things work. Zero's and ones gave us computers, CAD systems, CNC machines, and robots - the physical AI that can do manual labor (and a whole bunch of other things - like being armed). It always starts with the blue collar workers, then the white collar. Physical jobs, then mental jobs. Indirect labor they call us. This will be no different, except if this isn't all it's cracked up to be, and I don't think it is; the damages might be very bad. Company commits to AI, fires people because AI will do their job. Doesn't work, can't hire anyone back. Then what? And everything is all ****ed up because of bad decisions like this. In the quadrant lesson on efficient production from an Edward Deming class they are in the state of chaos. Don't know how to get out. And AI won't work, because it can't. We are teaching it, not the other way around. It can't know what I know because it didn't do what I did for 40 plus years. Doesn't matter the job. There are things we know because we know. I can't explain that, but it's true. We have a hard enough time teaching humans how to do their job FFS. We are training these bots, their fine print tells us that. It's the only way it can work. This is all fool's gold. Still reminds me of crazy Teddie the Uni*omber. He was a Luddite.

  8. We just can't match up with Cleveland . It PAINS me to say but they do everything Hinch talks about being "The Tiger way". They work counts, have productive outs instead of striking out, pitch well enough and play real good defense. And they have a true superstar. Quietly they have two new young players and their dumpster shopping first baseman is better than our 1-1 disappointment. It's so FRUSTRATING.

  9. Probably the reason. But as you said great D means nothing when you score 1 run or none.

  10. Yes - if the current regime weren't doing everything it can to stop the build-out of renewable energy supply we could be keeping up with such demand. "Energy Crisis" is an oxymoron given today's tech. We are awash in more energy than we would know what to do with if we would stop letting the oil companies and other grifters and luddites persuade us not to go collect it.

  12. I would offer Duren 4/$80 million and tell him to go find a better offer. I match up to 4/$100 no questions asked and go no higher than 4/$120.
