  1. Shout out multi time “all star” Gregory Soto.
  2. There’s something magical about the pregame introductions of all stars on the baselines.
  3. Could it be some sort of draft capital, either a pick or swap?
  4. My arm is getting tired listening to this.
  5. May the dear Lord have pity on their souls.
  6. Ryan Rollins just had his offer rescinded by the Bucks, what with all of the hullabaloo they’ve been engaged in. He’s now unrestricted. Is he a reasonable backup point option?
  7. Are you related to OklahomaBert?
  8. Did you laugh or break something?
  9. Russell Westbrook is available.
  10. I agree, I’d prefer Yabusele at 2/12 over Reed at 2/10. But was Yabusele interested in Detroit?
  11. But will there be a rain delay broadcast amongst the Tiger announcers tonight?
  12. Yeah, but this doesn’t necessarily disprove craziness. Maybe this post was just the right amount of crazy.
  13. When Torkelson fielded the ball, I thought he was just for the lead runner. But his throw was placed perfectly enough and he had the wherewithal to get back to the bag. It didn’t seem like he had enough on his throw to lead to a double play, but Baez’ return was on the target and with appropriate speed. That’s as good of a 3-6-3 as you’ll see. We can’t tell. We can only speculate. But I would bet Torkelson’s mindset this season is in a much, much better place than last season. The physical, tangent, numerical offensive results are there. But the defensive eye test is there, too. So fun to see that.
  14. On another hand, if he's going to miss time, this would be the time to do so. The OF has depth. There's a few extra off days coming up from the all star break. The large lead in the division.
  15. I’ll be honest. I’m still not sure I consider them to be the best team in the American League, let alone baseball. Not from a roster standpoint, anyway. I’m waiting to see an eventual regression to the norm. But maybe they are this good. They have the record. They’re well coached. The whole of the team can be greater than the sum of its parts. I don’t know. I guess we just enjoy the ride while we have it.
  16. I can be a creature of habit too much. This Sunday night game time has me all out of sorts.
  17. The details of the betting could be quite interesting. He wasn’t dumb enough to bet against himself, was he? This wouldn’t be a variable to his end of season shooting slump, would it?
  18. Yup. I would have been fine for a shorter deal, but he might have found a better deal elsewhere (just speculating) based on his last season. I think of the 3 FA in question, I would have preferred Schroeder for a return over the other 2, simply to allow for another veteran ball handler on the roster. I’m not saying they need to resign him, I think it’s wise to see what else is out there. But of the 3, I think I would find more on court value with him given the current roster and assuming career norm tendencies nest season (ie, Beasley would probably come back to earth off of last season).
  19. A wise man once said “Might as win this game.”
  20. He was all sorts of off last night. Pretty brutal to watch.
  21. I mowed the lawn this morning. The driveway looked fine, so I left it alone.
  22. A funny little asterisk with a huge World Series championship rock on his finger.
  23. So, has voting really changed that much? Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know. But it seems like voting results now reflect statistics much more than in the past when reputation had a major part of all star voting. I’m not complaining, I like it.
