  1. Higginson had a very solid overall career, so not trying to slight him at all. But definitely not as good as Tucker’s career to date. One thing that elevates Tucker over Higginson is his year to year consistency. Higginson started out well, but was up and down around late 20s, early 30s. Tucker started out a little slower, but has rattled off 5 very good seasons in a row. Higginson doesn’t have that on his baseball card.
  2. Unexpected yet unsurprising.
  3. In some order, the rotation is Skubal. Valdez, Flaherty, Mize, Olson. Other candidates are Anderson, Melton, Montero, Gipson-Long, with maybe Anderson as a long RP and Melton, Montero, Gipson-Long stashed in Toledo. I’ll be honest, I still want to add Bassitt. There is no such thing as enough pitching. If everyone is healthy, great. Play the minor league options game, or trade for a position of need, or maybe move a P for a younger P with more minor league options, or trade for another LHRP.
  4. You saw the grainy tape of me, eh?
  5. Zip, zero, nada.
  6. Yes, I’m hoping that Skubal wins the final game of the 2026 World Series as a member of the Detroit Tigers.
  7. I want to see Keith get a legit shot there. Let’s see what he can do.
  8. If it ain’t rough, it ain’t right?
  9. One of them have to be ready to toss to the baseball to the other at who is waiting at 2B. Or just replicate their hat tip at 2nd before their final game at Tiger Stadium.
  10. I don’t like this trade by itself. I get the extra bit of outside shooting (maybe). I get the lack of wanting to extend Ivey. But I guess if Ivey had that little of trade value, is there much sense in moving him? He’s still coming off of a lost season, so, maybe ride this season out and see what happens? Guess we’ll see what else shakes out.
  11. Well if that’s not enough, you’ll likely have to explain the options to me, too.
  12. I think the Tigers need a find a lefty named Smut for the bullpen.
  13. I had 6 strikes in a row to start a game. My dad told me to not think about it. Welp, that was that. Still got a 234.
  14. It’s to give the student athletes more study time between playoff games.
  15. Who is going to bet against him?
  16. Go back a year. I tell you people are suggesting that the Pistons need to make a deal and go for it. Also, the Indiana Hoosiers have just gone undefeated and won the NCAAF title. After you’re done (justifiably) mocking me, pick which one dropping your life savings on.
  17. Pitchers and catchers report soon. We’re almost there.
  18. I was trying to remember if Imperial was at Central & Reynolds. Long gone. When they closed, the annual PBA stop moved to Southwyck. Southwyck is still open, but somewhere along the line Toledo lost its bid as an annual stop for the PBA. Maybe they don’t do weekly stops like they used to, I have no idea.
  19. Just think of it this way. James is an injury replacement for Leonard.
  20. It must be on his BR page somewhere, but I couldn’t find how many gift baskets he gave out.
  21. I think the lane conditions were a factor. He rolled it during “open bowl” conditions and outside of the construct of the normal league night and lane conditions. That was the story he was given. This specific occurrence had to be, gosh, over 30 years ago. I’m pretty sure he has at least one ring for his endeavors. Name on the wall at the place of this league. The place eventually burned down, so, so much for that notoriety.
  22. He’s going to get himself unqualified for season accolades if he keeps missing games.
