  1. The timing seems weird. Monday off, Tuesday win, Wednesday morning firing. It seems like he would’ve been fired on Monday, but what do I know.
  2. Why don’t they show this board at Comerica?
  3. So, yeah, +21 seems unbelievably high in comparison. I think. Are defensive metrics still largely a work in progress? Is defensive positioning helping him? Isn’t defensive range one of the earlier skill sets that declines; is he somehow avoiding this for now? Sorry, that number compared to the rest just sticks out so much to me. I’m trying to figure it out without breaking into formulae.
  4. A tournament league? Adam Silver is on line one and would like to speak to you.
  5. Allez les bleu, blanc, et rouge!
  6. If Killian Hayes ain’t playing, I ain’t watching. Said only one person ever.
  7. Ok, how does the +21 compare to his previous seasons? Or how does it compare among 2B in recent seasons where heavy shifting has been employed? That +21 just sticks out way too much from those other players. Speaking of shifts, last night was the first time that I’ve seen a 4 OF / 3 IF alignment live and in person. We were behind the plate in the upper tank when the Blue Jays pulled this shift for Kyle Schwaber. My oldest daughter realized it right away and asked me what was going on. (Made me proud that she picked up on it, maybe I’m doing a decent job of parenting?)
  8. Might as well win today.
  9. Yeah, I didn’t think he could turn it around, but he has. Good for all.
  10. Ah, maybe thats why they played 13 innings despite no tie after 9.
  11. Speaking of such things, was at tonight’s Blue Jay game. They list lineups and use OPS on the JumboTron rather than the traditional AVG.
  12. I don’t know. The Tigers did receive Reese Olson for Daniel Norris, so there’s always a chance, right? But this doesn’t excuse batting Grossman 3rd in the lineup or demoting Clemens.
  13. This makes me laugh and cry. Which emoji do I use for that?
  14. Can we assume all of the bigs currently on the roster will still be on the roster come opening night?
  15. In fairness to Avila, Hinch (ah, remember when he was the author of all things good?), or any Other GM looking to peddle Grossman, what are they reasonably going to get for him?
  16. Maybe he has an allergy to ping pong tables that has not been diagnosed?
  17. Let’s see what position Clemens plays in Toledo. If he’s playing a lot of 3B, it might make a little more sense.
  18. I would say there’s merit, but it’s based on past seasons. I don’t know how much that should factor in or when the current season surpasses the resume. Maybe they’re just getting to the all start break at this point, I don’t know.
  19. I don’t understand this angle either. Outside of the principle parties, it’s an unknown issue at this time. But people like to make assumptions, so here we are.
  20. I agree with you about Pineda. Now, he did arrive with durability concerns, but the injury he sustained was a line drive off of the bat that he couldn’t get his hand out of the way of. That was kind of a flukey deal. His FIP is a little high, he allows too many HRs and doesn’t strike out many, but I don’t think he’s been disappointing considering what the expectations were. Coolbaugh and the bats shoulder a good deal of blame for this season’s malaise.
  21. Might as well win today, eh?
  22. Yeah, this makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Wasn’t it just last week we were talking about Gibson and Higginson being chosen over Thames in 2005?
  23. It sure didn’t take long.
