  1. Whitaker hit leadoff. Not a lot of RBI opportunities there.
  2. I have a feeling he’s going to age not gracefully. I’m certainly no expert. I just think his value won’t be higher given his age, production, and contract. They could find another corner OF if need be, maybe even in the same deal. I’ll admit this is probably contrary to my opinion of keeping Skubal and getting into the playoffs this season. But I think it’d be easier to replace Greene’s production than it would be to replace Skubal’s production.
  3. Who’s your educational establishment linked minor league pro team of choice?
  4. It was only a matter of time. MLB and NBA have done this. I don’t find those patches bothersome right now. The Tigers, in particular, have at least gotten the Meijer patches to blend in with the jerseys as far as color pattern is concerned. I suppose that helps. On the other hand, if I’m marketing and I dole cash over to a team, I don’t necessarily want the patch to be “invisible”.
  5. Yeah. I hope this characteristic doesn’t leak outside of college football coaching into other aspects of life.
  6. If the Tigers were looking to shop someone for prospects, Greene might be the best that the Tigers can offer in order to bring back talent. I wouldn’t want any part of extending him beyond his controllable years.
  7. It boosted his ego. And it took focus off of things like the Epstein files, flagging economy and militarization of the state.
  8. Good grief, can you imagine if they win the NCAAMBB tourney?
  9. Another point I heard today. Florida is a basketball school and now Indiana is a football school.
  10. You seem grouchier than 53 years old.
  11. Sure, seems reasonable.
  12. I need to know, was this predicted in the sports almanac in Back to the Future?
  13. TV timeouts are a killer.
  14. I kind of wonder how many countries will boycott 2028 in Los Angeles? Will it be more or less than the number of Olympic countries that are denied entry into the US?
  15. The 25th amendment should have been used on January 6. The sooner the clown leaves office, the better off we'll be.
  16. This reminds me of a yard campaign sign I saw. To paraphrase, it said “In this house we stand for virtue and dignity and righteousness and humility and civility and servitude and faith….” And it was for the orange asshole. I mean, come on, seriously? WTF.
  17. Le Grand Orange is top tier nickname. Quite possibly first ballot along with Cool Papa and Big Unit. My larger point was expanding the roster could become an exercise in gathering up more singular purpose individuals. I’d rather see ball players that help a team in multiple aspects. It doesn’t mean they have to be average at least in all aspects. It doesn’t mean a tea, can’t have a guy like Staub or Matt Stairs as a PH/DH specialist role. But don’t make it so it’s easier to stock up on those types of players and in game substitutions become a rudimentary exercise in flipping defense on the field for offense at the plate back to defense in the field far more often than is the case.
  18. Ha! Maybe that’s his major?
  19. Maybe Phillip Rivers should’of waited on phone calls for another month?

    MAP PR0N!

    Sure, if you want it in Mar-a-Lago where he’ll charge the govt rent.
  21. Is the lack of spending due to ownership, players, or both?
  22. Depends on your major.
  23. Maybe, maybe not in general terms. The good thing about baseball is that the margin between top and bottom of league in terms of winning percentage is much slimmer than other sports. Baseball playoffs are largely a 50/50 proposition. The higher profile teams don’t always win the championship. And not everyone wants to live in or play for New York or Los Angeles.
  24. Doesn’t media coverage revenue get shared among teams already? Maybe it does to a smaller extent, I don’t know. i think deadening the baseball and limiting the impact of the three true outcome game and getting back to a sport where the baseball is in the field of play would have positive benefits to pitching than currently focuses on means to throw the baseball past the hitter. Give pitchers a chance to allow the baseball go into play without fear of it going over the outfield wall.
  25. Rosters just don’t stay intact like that. I would be surprised if two of Torkelson/Greene/Carpenter/Keith are not out of the organization by Opening Day.
