One of them have to be ready to toss to the baseball to the other at who is waiting at 2B. Or just replicate their hat tip at 2nd before their final game at Tiger Stadium.

I don’t like this trade by itself. I get the extra bit of outside shooting (maybe). I get the lack of wanting to extend Ivey. But I guess if Ivey had that little of trade value, is there much sense in moving him? He’s still coming off of a lost season, so, maybe ride this season out and see what happens? Guess we’ll see what else shakes out.

Well if that’s not enough, you’ll likely have to explain the options to me, too.

I think the Tigers need a find a lefty named Smut for the bullpen.

I had 6 strikes in a row to start a game. My dad told me to not think about it. Welp, that was that. Still got a 234.

It’s to give the student athletes more study time between playoff games.

Who is going to bet against him?

Go back a year. I tell you people are suggesting that the Pistons need to make a deal and go for it. Also, the Indiana Hoosiers have just gone undefeated and won the NCAAF title. After you’re done (justifiably) mocking me, pick which one dropping your life savings on.

Pitchers and catchers report soon. We’re almost there.

I was trying to remember if Imperial was at Central & Reynolds. Long gone. When they closed, the annual PBA stop moved to Southwyck. Southwyck is still open, but somewhere along the line Toledo lost its bid as an annual stop for the PBA. Maybe they don’t do weekly stops like they used to, I have no idea.

Just think of it this way. James is an injury replacement for Leonard.

It must be on his BR page somewhere, but I couldn’t find how many gift baskets he gave out.

I think the lane conditions were a factor. He rolled it during “open bowl” conditions and outside of the construct of the normal league night and lane conditions. That was the story he was given. This specific occurrence had to be, gosh, over 30 years ago. I’m pretty sure he has at least one ring for his endeavors. Name on the wall at the place of this league. The place eventually burned down, so, so much for that notoriety.

He’s going to get himself unqualified for season accolades if he keeps missing games.

Those kids behind the dugouts surely got a vocabulary lesson that night.

Was in a bowling league with a friend. We prebowled one week because we weren’t going to make it for league night. Friend rolled a 300. It counted as far as the score goes, but because we prebowled, it wasn’t an official 300. I guess they put an asterisk on it. Meh, whatever, he’s had a few official 300s besides the asterisked one.

I still think a guy like P Chris Bassitt would help the pitching depth. I don’t think there’s much more that will be done with the hitting for now, and I think I’m fine with that. But I think the pitching could use a bit more depth.

Exactly. They shot him when he clearly wasn’t a threat. I think it’s fair to assume everybody at the January 6 picnic wasn’t carrying legally. But that event gets glossed over.

The only thing I expect for the 2026-27 offseason is that no baseball fan will be happy.

That’d be the best thing to happen right now.

Interesting. I thought Baltimore had serious interest in Whitaker and Cleveland had serious interest in Trammell in their final years. I don’t recall the Whitaker and Atlanta tango.

Not in spotting distance of the top of the list?

Vina. That’s an awesome pull.

I understand what you’re saying about extra seasons tacking on WAR. JAWS is a measure of the best 7 seasons of a players WAR, so by that measure it ignores the “hanging on” effect. Whitaker is at 56 and Kent is at 46. And I don’t mean to be critical of a guy playing an extra season. If a guy can do it, by all means do it. Ichiro Suzuki couldn’t pull himself way from the game. He ended up as a 5th OF with the Marlins. So what? He’s still a hall of fame player. One of my favorite players to watch in his prime.
