Somebody else can.

I'm pro life. But I also acknowledge that issues like rape/incest/health of mother & child don't fit so nicely into that view. And I cannot quite figure out how this seems to be a one size fits all for some folks. You know, you look at the generalities of the two major parties in the country in their general ideologies. One side is firmly against abortions but damn straight you better be able to holster a killing toy on your person if you so choose. The other side just flips on both, and then you've got the irony of folks that were given the chance of life promoting ending life before the fetus gets a shot at it (exceptions noted above). I have a really hard time squaring this away.

What? Correa is injured? Sacre bleu, who could'of predicted this as a probability?

I've been to the baseball and rock & roll hall of fames. Personally, I look at both as more of a museum rather than a career defining achievement. Of course there are enshrined members as part of the museum, but I guess I just find that aspect to be more subjective and not quite as interesting to me. Heck, what defines rock & roll to begin with? Why are Eminem and Dolly Parton being inducted into a Rock & Roll hall of fame when you wouldn't find their albums in the rock & roll section of a music shop? I visited the baseball hall and was able to see a display of Whitaker & Trammell memorabilia. Jerseys, hats, gloves, cleats, photos. It was great, it made me happy to see. This was way before Trammell's induction as a player and, in my opinion, they really should have been inducted as a duo. But the powers that be don't agree with me on that. C'est la vie, I can't help it that they're wrong. (And to be honest, the room with all of the baseball plaques was quite boring compared to all of the other displays on hand anyway.)

Do you mean actuals bats or ball players that know how to use said bats?

The SOs are a bit worrisome to me. But he's only 23 and he's a C, so there's time for him to determine his fate.

Nope. The Motor City Kitties will be lining up in victory formation in the bottom of the 9th tonight. Book it.

Exposed by a special chair?

OK, no overall roster limit, but an active roster limit of 28 for games at AAA & AA. I guess I didn't realize that had changed last season.

I don't want to blame only Soto for the loss. Its tough for pitchers to have margin for error of about a run given the ineptitude of the offense. But its past time to realize that Soto isn't a high leverage pitcher.

I like looking at baseball reference’s end of year projected records. Over the course of their 1,000 computer simulations, the Reds aren’t projected to be the worst team in baseball. Heck, the Pirates are 3 games below them in the division according to their guessing games.

I like the irony of this clip in the "catch-all" thread.

I don't know how players from different eras can be reasonably compared to each other. So much of the game has evolved over time. What hasn't changed? Free throws have kind of remained the same, but that's about it.

Hold on now, that's cheating.

I was looking at the roster on MILB, and even with the 7 day ILs taken into account, the Mud Hens appear to have 17 Ps, 4 Cs, 6 IFs, and 4 OFs. Seems a bit over the limits? Must be some headshots need to be taken down off of the site?

Adam Everett? You couldn’t find a pitcher?

I suspect there will be a an unholy amount of dirt dug up about Majewski. I doubt there was much digging before as he was considered a long shot.

Double digits hits today. (Never mind that it came in a doubleheader.)

He did give up 2 hits in 1 of his 5 IP at Toledo. Does that count?

I don't know that this is completely true. The "anti Trump" candidate, Matt Dolan, followed a lot of Trump's platform, but wouldn't fall in line with the whole stolen election falsehood. The complete Trump lapdogs (JD Vance, Josh Mandel, Mike Gibbons, Jane Timken) garnered around over 70% of the R vote. I highly doubt Ryan can win easily barring some unforeseen event such as Vance reversing course and again going against Trump which could cause chaos among the TRs.

AL AVILA READS THIS FORUM, STEALS MY THOUGHTS!!!! I ain't right often, so I'm taking a bow on this one.

Tell you what, Faedo might be the P to call up tomorrow. Assuming both Detroit & Toledo have rainouts today, Faedo is supposed to pitch today, but he could probably make the drive up north tomorrow, the Mud Hens will play the makeup game as a part of a DH which will be a pair of 7 inning games shaving 4 IP off of the top end of the organization. This assumes the Tigers are comfortable with the 13 position players on hand, and Grossman's hand might be the determining factor there.

A doubleheader tomorrow works fine for me. Game 7 Cincinnati Cyclones at Toledo Walleye was going to be on my TV tonight anyway. The Tigers can call up another player for the DH, maybe its another P, maybe its another Castro, maybe its Clemens,...... Any chance there's a pitcher named Kody Castro in the organization?

Ah, I see it now, they are going with 13 Ps, not 14. They had 14, placed Alexander on the IL and DFAd Garneau to get from 28 to 26. I is a idiot.
