casimir

The lottery is what it is. This franchise isn't an abhorrent mess because of ping pong balls or frozen envelopes or tin foil hats. This franchise is a complete dumpster fire because its front office is only two qualified clowns short of a circus.

Sorry, I forgot to use the 'sarcasimir" log in for that post.

Clutch stuff there.

He’s had a pretty good week. Hopefully he’s figured something out and we’re seeing this going forward. They need to lengthen the lineup out as much as possible. A rejuvenated Torkelson and a maturing Keith would really help out.

Way to turn the Piston frown upside down.

That was fun.

So, ok, here’s the rainbow around this pile of lottery crap. The Pistons won’t improve enough to stay out of the lottery next year, and welcome to Detroit Cooper Flagg.

Unless shenanigans occur before the end of this game, 20-20 after 40. Improvements over previous seasons, sure. But the offensive struggles just stick out bigly.

No worries. I’m sure Weaver and Drunk Uncle Tommy will have everything under control this off-season.

Other than that….

Hold on, Verlander has top seniority among active MLB players? I hadn’t thought of that, but I guess it makes sense. Damn I’m old.

The rose goes in the front, big guy.

That’s different. 🤣

There’s still time.

Oh, I’m not saying NIL is the best and cleanest business model. But Urbz suddenly reaches for morals? Come on…..

Is “go to guy” code for “research donkey”?

Nobody went with Canha Slamha? I’m a little disappointed.

Cincinnati at San Francisco. Gonna be a short night for him traveling back for tomorrow’s Tiger game. Old friend Buck Farmer is on the bump right now. Old friend Candelario at 1B. Oh, the memories….

OK, OK, I got Monday's games.

Is another bat entering the conversation? That HR bagel is awfully stale.

I know quality start is a somewhat debatable stat. But, the Tigers are currently 5th in MLB at 47%. League average is 37%.

The cruel irony of this 1-6 stretch game is that the game they won is also the game in which they allowed the most runs.

I guess when I see names brought up, I like to see how they fit the roster. Martinez and Turner didn't fit defensively or as bench options. That's part of the reason I really like the Canha trade. The Tigers needed a RHH OF and a backup 1B, among other things. He fit both defensively and has the kind of bat that the lineup needed.
