Shades of Deivi Cruz

No. Before it came to Ohio, I always got excited when I had a chance to import some (or have it on vacation). Now I rarely buy it.

Well, it DOES end up being chaos, but not in a good way.

I disagree. You can absolutely navigate the playoffs rotation wise as currently constructed. Three solid starters is more than enough. Of the priorities, I consider a starter well behind elite BP and impact bat.

The impact bats certainly don't seem to be there (outside of Suarez, but that ship has sailed), which is unfortunate. We certainly could use one. That and an elite BP arm is what we needed IMO. I'm not all that thrilled about the third/fourth starters that are available (which is what I consider Alcantara at this point), or these donkey relievers we keep signing/trading for.

IMHO, it doesn't. Enjoyed it immensely. I did finally have to read an "explainer" about who is actually related to who on that show. It blew my mind that "Uncle" Jimmy is not actually related to any of the other regular characters.

I've become less enamored with the mix-and-match daily routine of the team. We have a lot more mix and notsomuch match. Trey Sweeney has no business being here right now. Unfortunately, the same can be said for Parker Meadows and Matt Vierling. I still like Zach as a complimentary piece, but the OF outside of Riley is an offensive blackhole. Carpenter coming back will certainly help, but for how long before he is hurt again? Kwan from Cleveland would be fantastic. Suarez obviously as well. Certainly bullpen is a high priority, but I'm also not confident in this offense getting it done in the playoffs.

Anymore. They did in January though.

You are a brave man for keeping Kahnle on this list, while at the same time extolling the virtue of swing and miss ability.

TLDR: Skubal is a good dude and a great pitcher.

My son and I were two of them. Castro made that really nice catch at the RF fence right in front of us.

Comedy sequels are rarely decent, let alone good, so while I hope Spaceballs 2 is good I'm not actually optimistic that it will be.

I am three episodes in on season two of The Rehearsal on HBO/Max. Such a weird show, but I love it. Episode three especially was beyond bizarre (in a great way).

I'm so glad I got to see Jimmy Buffett at Red Rocks. My wife and I talked about it for years, finally got tickets, and then it was canceled due to COVID. Fortunately it got rescheduled (two years later, I think), and we got to go. It ended up being the last time he played there before he died.

The only legal online betting in Florida is Hard Rock, so FanDuel Florida is probably not eager to drive business to them by displaying odds constantly.

Watching that Yankees/Padres game last night where they tried playing through the rain was painful, and not just because I was watching the Yankees... It looked so miserable. Pivetta was asking for a new ball after every pitch, and he still couldn't keep it from slipping out of his hand. All of that to say, I hope the Tigers don't have to do that.
