Someone sounds like a Big Grumpfart.

Incredible!

That game was the Junior Valentine show that nobody asked for.

Newsflash. There are no “thoughts” to be had there.

I think Beltre was more defensive about the head touch than the cup check.

It was actually a reference to the past series at the Mets. But I had forgotten about this one.

Mize is looking sharp today.

Workman susceptible to the curveball.

Hinch hitting in the 3rd inning? Sure, why not.

Dude…..

I think the book on the Thompsons was that both were great athletes with Amen being better offensively and slightly better overall than Ausar.

I can’t believe you went the long way with “Cleveland” rather than short and sweet with “Ohio”.

Great stories @Motor City Sonics. Pocket schedules. Oh man, just like chips, you couldn’t take just one when you found them. You had to grab a few because you needed to have them in different locations and/or spares just in case. But you’d be cool about it. You’d grab a couple here, s couple there, another couple from somewhere else. You wouldn’t empty out the first box you saw. You couldn’t do that to the next person needing their fix.

But do we know if they pitched with their usual pitching arm?

I mean, sure, gotta keep subscriptions up somehow, right?

I’m fine with this version or the current version of road jersey, But I’ve always wondered about a road jersey mimicking the home jersey, just with grays rather than ice cream whites. Maybe a hint of orange to go with the navy. And the only thing to add is they when they synced up the hat and shirt D for the home kits, they picked the wrong D. The curved upper right D is superior to the angled upper right D.

Wallace was amazing to watch because of his lack of height. He shouldn’t have been doing what he was doing because of his height. But he had the quick leaping ability and the strength. You could tell he understood angles and positioning. And that motor was constantly running, there wasn’t much quit in him at all. I think that last part was just who he was given the path he had to take to get to the NBA. Thompson is an athlete that we’re seeing develop into an other worldly defensive beast. Oh, sure, he’s a basketball player, he had those chops coming into this league. But he’s really blossomed this season. His length and his quickness and pure athleticism (I really appreciate the ballet story). He’s reading passing lanes when off ball and is just an absolute pain in the ass on the ball. He’s taken a leap as a shot blocker, pun intended. Can you imagine what his defense will be like with more experience? And what if/when he adds some offensive tools? I think Thompson has a chance to be a better defender than Wallace, although we’re talking different eras and different positions. Heck, since we’re talking the Going to Work crew, is it fair to say Thompson is a combination of Wallace and Prince, but with a better skill set albeit not the strength?

Yeah, not sure why he’s fallen out of the rotation. It seems like even if that’s been the case, he deserves some sort of minutes given what he can bring as far as defense and energy. I know finding offense can be a chore at times for the Pistons. But sometimes you’ve got to see if the defense can lead to some offense.

A tall task given their hatred of Browns’ ownership past and present. in general though, this season has been a breakout for him defensively. Watching him on that end is an absolute joy.

Wouldn’t be against it. Maybe it would save his legs a bit during the season. The fact that Torkelson’s assignment to bottom third of the lineup in recent games might suggest he’s not long for the organization.

I used to really hate them, now it’s probably just another part of the game. The on field interviewer interviews are obviously done in between innings earlier in games where usually not much is going on.

Unfortunately Madden have caught one.

So much for Madden’s return.
