Or maybe Harris sees a way to structure the roster well enough in spite of carrying Cabrera on the active roster whilst he’s healthy? Let’s be honest, Cabrera isn’t an everyday DH even if he’s healthy. But will he be healthy enough to be on the injured list at some point(s) next season? The “problem” of finding time for lefty hitting Meadows, Greene, Baddoo, and Carpenter with Cabrera on the roster might be more of a part item issue than a full time issue. Baddoo and Carpenter have earned enough to have a look at regular playing time next spring. Cabrera’s physical availability. But I think the roster space could become an issue if the bullpen is stocked with a bunch of solo inning artists and the starting rotation is filled with a bunch of twice only through the lineup types. 12 pitchers and the extra roster spot for Cabrera is fine. I think 13 pitchers and health for all of the 4 lefty swinging OFs and Cabrera on the big league roster for elongated stretches becomes something to watch for in regards to a roster crunch.

I was at a high school football game. It’s that time of the season. Attendance was announced, and let’s just say it was a bus load short of 10 K, an all time record for the school. I had a vested interest to be there as my kid was a participant. Sadly the home team lost, but damn, what a fun environment to be in. We had to stand for the entirety of the game, and our SRO in the corner of the end zone was 5 folks deep. A regular season game, albeit homecoming, and for all intents and purposes it was for control of the league crown with a few weeks to go. A perfect fall evening for a football game.

Is it really that easy? I don't know. It seems a little more complex than just saying throw some stuff in a car and find a place a few hours away for a few days. I've not been in that situation, so I really don't know. There are shades of gray in this. Some folks probably had no reason to stay. Some are probably part of the vital infrastructure, but maybe they have families that should bug out for a bit. And then you've folks in the middle somewhere in there. When I was young, my father's mother was in the beginning stages of ALS where she was living with my aunt, about a 10-15 minute drive from us. She had a living space on the ground floor and with relatives and friends, someone could keep an eye on her throughout the day. Well, we had a tornado warning one day. Everybody is supposed to shelter in, right? My dad and a neighbor jumped in the car and raced over to my aunt's to get my help get my grandmother to the basement. Technically they shouldn't have been out and about, right? But they were. Some individual situations like these arise, and so what do you do?

I hadn't paid much attention, so I don't know one way or the other, but ain't many options in Florida. You've basically got to go north to get out. Were there any stories of jammed interstates or gas shortages or anything like that?

Disagree. It should be my call, damnit.

Sweet! A few more games for the Tigers to sell Zach Short merch.

Could a moderator change the thread title from 6:40 to to 1:10, please & thanks?

I kind'of wish the dugout would'of done the ol' "ignore the home run hitter when he returns to the bench" thing.

24 years old and highly frustrated/competitive probably factor in as well.

I like my idea better.

Video shows Manning slamming his mitt to the ground with unflinching right handed force. Maybe it’s the left arm that’s fatigued?

I would think Manning is pissed because he’s pulled from the start.

Sister Jean taught Tommy John in grammar school. She even wrapped him with a ruler over his knuckles. It would make for a lovely tug at the heartstrings type of story.

I’m fine with that. Or let the football player have a retaliatory crack at the drunk.

It seems like the entirety of the 2006 playoffs in Detroit was cold, cold, cold.

Good grief, this team is absolute toast next season and we ain’t even done with this season yet.

Fetter sees potential.

I was thinking about this the other day. If it were this temperature on March 27 rather than September 27, it might be shorts and light sweatshirt weather. Rather, because we are coming off of summer rather than winter, its parka weather.

How else you gonna get to CastroH?

I don’t know about the other single season “records”, but what intrigues me about Judge is triple crown aspect of it. And, yes, I know OBP > AVG, and RBI are more of a team accomplishment than an individual accomplishment. That’s fine. It’s still a remarkable season.
