  1. So, I think that the chances were probably slim to begin with, but given the message from Harris about LHH IF and RHH OF, the Castros, Reyes, Clemens, and Cameron should be updating their resumes. I'll say of the five, zero make it through the first forty man grind. And I will spell the numbers out just to be that guy.
  2. Tough to have many platoons when the roster carries 13 (minimum) pitchers and Cabrera. Baez will play everyday. Greene has probably earned that spot. Ideally Torkelson can get there. If they do keep Candelario and he can revert back to 2020-2021, that would help.
  3. That's probably the case. I've also noticed quite a few multi sign yards the other way with a Majewski and a Vance sign, maybe another random R, but no DeWine. Maybe I just subjectively notice what I notice. But it is what it is.
  4. I kind of got a kick out of the yard sign combo of Kaptur, Ryan, and DeWine in front of someone's house by our locales. You don't see many mixed ticket yard sign combos out there.
  5. In erasable sharpie.
  6. They might just go for a one or two year filler at LHB IF. I saw Jace Peterson and Adam Frazier mentioned as possibilities. I don't know about any combo of Candelario/Schoop coming back. Sure, Candelario is lefty hitting, but his contract isn't guaranteed. Schoop's contract is on the books for 2023. Maybe the hitting side of the plate and the salary commitments matter, maybe one matters more than the other, maybe neither matter at all. Tomorrow is going to be kind of like Christmas. We don't know what we'll find under the 40 man tree.
  7. "Trump is livid,....., screaming at everyone". Isn't that any random Wednesday? Heck, isn't that any random day?
  8. They're busy picking up that extra shift at Sears in the shoe department.
  9. Seems to make sense. Add another catcher to the mix, too.
  10. Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics
  11. For a second there I thought we were in the basketball thread.
  12. I don't think the calendar timing of a game should matter. A win in that game is a win in that game, all other things held constant.
  13. TCU beat a 1-8 Colorado, something called Tarleton State, and 5-4 SMU. UofM beat 2-7 Colorado State, 2-8 Hawaii, and 5-5 UConn. I'm not sure one out of conference is any more impressive than the other, but that's just me.
  14. I know there have been suggestions here to move Schoop to 3B. I don't necessarily see it, but who knows. So, yes, they'd essentially be dumping Schoop for Segura, which seems suspect. Or they could walk from Candelario, move Schoop, and sign a 2B (or a SS and move Baez to 2B, which seems doubtful to me). I wouldn't think Segura gets more than a 2 year deal, maybe something similar or slightly higher than Schoop. I don't know, just a guess.
  15. Tipped off yesterday. Thank goodness CBS has bracketology going already.
  16. You sneaky bastard....
  17. Why?
  18. The Phillies declined their $17M 2023 option for 2B Jean Segura. Now, that isn't a name that wows anyone. But what catches my eye with him is the well below league average SO% he possesses, consistently 10-15% throughout his career save for the abridged 2020 season. There would be some aging risk as he'll be 33 to start next season. But given Harris' mantra on controlling the strike zone and the question of Schoop's bat, is it a fit? It doesn't seem likely to me, but I also don't know what to expect out of the Tigers this offseason.
  19. It'd be fun for the rivalry, but I don't know that it'd be well received nationally. There was discussion of a rematch in the 2006/7 national championship. I don't know how I feel about back-to-back games like that. The original divisional set up was designed for that, but it never happened. With the current conference championship and the current playoffs, there's a bit more separation from the regular season matchup. And once the playoffs expand again, there's more separation.
  20. That's absolutely what happened. But its quite amusing nonetheless.
  21. Nice come from behind victory tonight.
  22. There's no perfect system, but there are ways to make the current situation better.
  23. I've heard of some kerfuffles lately with the Twitters. Isn't there supposed to be a blue checkmark for authenticity or some such or other? Also, is it hops-pitching or hop-spitching? Also, also, rehab pitching coordinator? That doesn't seem like a one person job.
