    Giants, Wilmer Flores Agree To Two-Year Extension So much for that idea.

    Houston Astros (90-50) at Detroit Tigers (54-86)

    Seems reasonable, but I think you have to include Cabrera at this point. Now, how many PAs he gets, I don’t know how you factor that. Call it 400, 2 out of 3 days? Assume he gets day games after night games off for the most part? That’s one or two a week. I guess the issue there is that increases the PAs for the bench, which ideally would be limited as you mentioned. But that’s just where they are right now. I think Cabrera factors in next season until he doesn’t. In other words, don’t assume he’s gone until he is, either by retirement or “retirement”. I think that’s the conservative approach to take.

    Take it and hope he adds to it.

    It seems odd to me that he’d be fired before September is over. I get that losing this weekend is bad, but if the situation was that close to it’s tipping point, it seems like a new coaching staff should have been assembled after last season.

    Well, two out of three in Kansas City was fun.

    Same. It’s kind of a shame it’s worked out this way for Frost, and really for Nebraska in the B10.

    Divisions are pointless for college football now. Maybe it helps with travel for the MAC or a conference like that. But what does divisional alignment do for the B10 at this point?

    Patience. Norris might be tossing multiple innings before this game is done.

    The Tigers have 3 left hitting OFs that really aren't too good defensively and another lefty hitting OF that might be miscast in CF (although this is the least of the issues). Ideally Cabrera retires, Meadows can be the DH, and then if LF is decided among incumbents, one of Baddoo/Carpenter is in Detroit and the other is in Toledo. Or even more ideally the GM has better plans for the offense.

    It's probably a very remote possibility. I know Jim Eisenreich walked away and came back.

    Great cut by Kreidler to double Perez off on the sac fly.

    Maybe I am being too much of a stickler, but it seems like if racial integration is used as the beginning of an era of baseball, it would seem like it should come sometime after 1947 and line up with a year that MLB was more fully integrated. I honestly have no idea when that would be. But I would think that it took some time after Robinson's debut before baseball's racial makeup was truly integrated and "modern" in terms of racial population. I guess the other thing is, what do we mean by modern baseball? If the modern era begins with 1980, that baseball doesn't exactly perfectly resemble current baseball.

    If I'm reading this right, Meadows is on a $4M contract this season with two arbitration years left. They still need offense, and he has shown that he can provide that at the MLB level. It is a tough call in terms of roster maintenance, but what kind of contract could we expect for season through arbitration? What is the working relationship among player, agency, and the Tigers (who are still lacking an official GM)? Obviously money plays a hand in contracts, but I wonder if this is an occasion where it isn't as much of a primary driver? Heck, Meadows may be considering walking away from the game for all we know. It wouldn't be the first time a major league player did so for reasoning that they saw fit.

    Baddoo's arm in RF?

    The current propane grill is probably due to be replaced. Your grilling pictures are not helping the current grill's cause.

    Kind of can't wait for the weather to cool down simply because I'm in the mood for chili.

    You can call me Casimirfucious for short.

    It is a nice story so far. Baddoo was a nice story last year. So you just never know what will happen in the future. If they both have options and if there isn't anyone being blocked from the 40 by keeping both, I can see them competing for LF in Lakeland next season. Neither are strong enough defensively or proven enough offensively to hand pen in as a starter at this point.
  20. casimir
    Can't wait to see how.
  21. casimir
    Detroit Tigers (54-85) at Kansas City Royals (56-84)

    That’s new. 😆

    Too bad Barnhart didn’t hit left handed.
  24. casimir
    Or, maybe, just maybe, don’t have rankings until sometime in October, after teams have actually played a few games.

    The throw over rules are interesting. Did they get approved for MLB? What was it, max of 2 throw overs per pitch? That puts a premium of C defense like you say, but I would think it also forces Ps to mix up times when in the stretch.
