He absolutely should be next season, yes. I understand he inherited a grease fire. But he's been in charge for 3 seasons now. This franchise needs to show improvement. I don't know if the playoffs are realistic. I would expect maybe a tough beginning of the season because they're going to have a new coaching staff, and there's probably still some getting to know Cunningham with Ivey & Duren and whatever other pieces are held over. And that doesn't incorporate any other roster changes that they'll have. So, I'll be interested in the back 2/3 of the season. What do they look like then? Is there a core to build upon long term? Are there supporting cast and role players on the roster to make a legitimate case for the playoffs in 24-25?

I really don't think the overhang turned any fly balls into home runs. But it makes for fun lore.

That's true, they are an outlier. But what's wrong with wanting to be the next outlier?

This is rhetorical, right?

I don't remember Bogdanovich being tied to any time in particular, but I could be nonremembering.

Bad vibes with this guy. Let someone else have that risk.

That's a great point.

I think I like Cam Whitmore or Taylor Hendricks at 5 just looking over numbers. I see Jarace Walker mentioned, but I don't like his shooting percentages as much. So, here's something that hasn't been brought up. Would it be worth trading up into 2-4? Or, would it be worth trading down for ****/Sensabaugh/Whitehead/Murray? Tough to say on either trade scenarios without knowing what the other pieces are and what happens with the rest of the roster.

I've considered switching all of grass mower, snow blower, and weed wacker to battery powered. I think the only thing holding me back, besides procrastination, is the earlier season grass mowing where the lawn is a little more unkempt at the beginning and the usually wetter weather. Its not ideal with a gas mower either, but it seems like you can get away with that on a damper lawn if it needs to be done. Or maybe I just get some goats and tell the wife to take care of the snow?

Just to build off of that, Miami has had 60 draft picks in its history. The top ten picks that they've have are: It sucks to miss out on Wembanyama. But Miami seems to have found a way to be competitive without tanking beforehand.

It was the surrender flag.

Was it better than the pierogi race?

And play defense.

Smallchessball.

Paredes is still only 24 years old, too. I still think the trade made sense at the time. It just isn't working out well for the Tigers.

That was my impression of it as well.

I don’t know what it’s going to look like when it’s done, but I kind of just wish it’d get there so we can get acclimated to it.

It wasn’t even a month ago that several here were done with him. Seemed unfair at the time given the fact that he was returning from injury.

Prime Ichiro may be my most favorite baseball player to have watched. At the plate, on the base paths, in the field, doesn’t matter. The fluidity and athleticism that he possessed, and the skill set that he had, and the baseball intellect. Such a blast to watch.

It was easy to see Brieske being moved to 60 for another pitcher. Not sure this is the pitcher, but Elledge can be moved along if a better option becomes available.

The Pistons didn’t fool around with their lineup at times the season? Come on now….
