I forgot how good his ratios were for an all star that was placed on waivers.

I think you’ve got a subject for your next book.

I don’t know. I suppose they can still play a weak side middle infielder close to the imaginary line from home to 2B and employ a shift that way for pulled ground balls which might help. But I prefer range up the middle. I think sacrificing too much defense to help out offense is a poor choice. I’m not sure it’s easily quantifiable to figure out the correct balance point.

I agree with you about Torkelson’s range. And if Keith’s range is also suspect, I hope the pitching is such to discourage grounders to the right side.

Jose Cisneros signed a one year deal with the Angels. They also recently signed OF Aaron Hicks. So I guess they’ve plugged the hole left behind by the departure of Ohtani.

Sure would be nice for that to work out.

This is the last home game before a 5 game trip out west and southwest leading into the all star break. Looking at February schedule, it’s looking highly likely they don’t win this month. Today’s home game is one of only 3 home games this month with the final one being another hosting of the Magic. Maybe they steal one at Portland or at Chicago, but it’s looking like another long losing streak.

I believe that Zollner Piston would fit in well with the current Piston (lack of) defense.

Its interesting to me how someone that is lauded for their business intellect and leadership abilities admits to so many appointment **** ups in his term as president.

Hayes, Wiseman, Gallinari, Harris,..... any 2nds to toss in there?

Its one of the competitive balance round picks that is being traded. Those are fair game for trades.

Oh, a statue,..... great call.

It starts with the sanitary/stirrup combo during the era. More sanitary meant more speed. Just look at Gibson's vs Wockenfuss'. Honestly, Wockenfuss probably should have had navy sanitaries, but he showed more stirrup which was mandatory for slower guys.

One?

I was looking for the more realistic emoji to apply to your version and then squirrel........

Is that a future picture of Tom Gores?

Clearly my version of the events was better.

Hayes had to have seen it coming. He probably falls back into the rotation if they can move Morris. Other than that, he probably should be hanging out with Harris and Wiseman at the deep end of the bench.

I was going to laugh, and then I realized how close I am to 55.

There's so much going on in this picture. Rozema is trying to pick off his brother in law Gibson, but can we be certain he just threw the ball in the air or did he flub throw the ball that's on the ground there? And Wockenfuss isn't even extending an arm to catch the ball. What, is he going to catch it with his teeth? There's no foul line chalked on the field. Heather Nabozny wouldn't stand for that now. Of course, she wasn't in charge of it then, heck, she might not have even been alive then. Roger Craig has a hand in his pants. I guess that's an old baseball guy move, maybe something to do with the waste banding on those pants. Morris appears to be sitting down. Hold on, get off my lawn Morris is literally sitting on the lawn during drills? What gives there?

Maybe it’s our own fault? The game was going well until the posting in here got hot and heavy.

Phantom is the official fire starter for the Cuyahoga.

Credit for keeping it close for 47 minutes. But the last minute was just crummy.

Cunningham missed layup? Ugh….
