You may be onto something.

Playing RF seems less strenuous than CF. Just another measure to bring him back to baseball speed gradually?

He should probably be demoted in the lineup, but then they would have to find someone else to promote to 4th. Tough to do when most of the lineup ain’t hitting.

Hold on, I thought Hinch was running the show. Or was that only last May through the end of last season?

Dump him, bring up Clemens.

I agree that there wasn’t a player to tank for, save for maybe Kumar Rocker the year before he was actually drafted. The other thing to keep in mind about drafting higher is the draft slots that come with it. While there might not have been a Bryce Harper, there was the bigger chunk of change that came along with the privilege of picking before everyone else.

I was watching on FS1. I don’t know who the play-by-play was that was calling the game (along with Tom Verducci), but he referred to Daz Cameron as Cam Diaz for the first 3 innings.

A better GM.

You don't that occurred during the Gardenhire years?

If the plan is to tank, which causes the MLB team to suffer, and draft high, which should eventually create enough talent to pull the team out of the basement, by all means, they better hit on the draft picks. I realize not all draft picks pan out, but this is the path that they have chosen.

There was the walkout in Oxford. Its probably something that should have been repeated at schools all over.

When are we going to see the graphic that displays the number of children killed by gunfire in mass shootings this school year vs children killed by COVID vaccination shots?

I hope whatever organization(s) will eventually do the deep dive on this does so independently and the honest facts are brought out. It probably won't move the needle on stricter gun control, but the truth of this incident (and others) needs to be out there. Maybe eventually a generation or two down the line will be wise enough to remember their time in school and realize that there might be better preventative ways to stifling this rather than going through active shooter drills.

I wouldn’t trade my life for anybody’s. I’ve had so many blessings in my life. I don’t want people to be sad for me when I go. Be sad for the kids who die young. You shouldn’t feel sad for a man who lived his dream. -- Buck O'Neil Why are we allowing our kids to die young?

If only we could ban idiots......

It’s supply chain related.

So he would likely fit in with some of the crowd that he would have entertained?

If the plan is to tank and draft, they’ve got to hit on the picks. Because otherwise they’ve had awful seasons with the big club, and they didn’t get the dividends that they were hoping for.

Good on him for coming clean.

What a gutless pile.

In that instance it would seem the 1sts are fails and the 9th is luck. A team cannot tank then swing & miss on 1sts. They simply can't.

So the 9th rounder is a diamond in the rough, and the 1st rounders are serviceable? Unacceptable.

So the gunman had a "mental health issue" (allegedly, probably just to try get through this as quickly as possible until the next mass gun shooting in Texas), but was still able to legally purchase two AR-15s, one on his 18th birthday and one a few days after?

And, oh, by the way, we think there's a teacher shortage now? Just wait.
