I got 7 out of 9 today, including Edwin Jackson.

Oh, and kids, that is how you wear your socks and pants.

I want that dark blue shirt.

For me that's a decent day.

I saw the Gipson-Long interview on the highlight package. Nice kid.

Good old David Wells...don't ever change! https://torontosun.com/sports/baseball/toronto-blue-jays/david-wells-tears-into-woke-culture

I nailed that one with Steve Rogers!

Those guys though are not Willi and Harold or Niko Goodrum. Niko was the poster child, indifferent defense at 7 positions, and a switch hitter who couldn't hit at all from the left side. Good players who can play well at several spots are nice to have, but I don't remember the Tigers having any since Tony Phillips and Skeeter Barnes. Lots of guys play 1B/OF, or SS/2B, that's very common. Nobody is saying that versatility is bad. A couple of people though are saying that "chess pieces" should not be a development objective. The objective is every day players. Maybe they play 140 games now instead of 160, but they are every day players.

I know and they are always good, reasonable guesses.

Let's not compare Mookie Betts to Willi and Harold.

Malloy at 3B today, Keith at 2B, Leonard in CF.

Nm

I count 5 every day players already including Meadows. That leaves 2B, 3B, and one more OF/DH (Malloy is first in line). Maybe Keith can fill a hole at 2B or 3B. I don't think that "the game has changed" very much at all. GM's are still looking for every day players, and "chess pieces" are the unfortunate compromise when drafting and developing is done poorly. Good teams don't have a bunch of guys who play 6 positions.

Well yeah the picture is great, but watching it on Youtube it seemed like the people who were extending the middle finger were pretty silent because they were afraid to get the **** beaten out of them. The audio files don't contain even a hint of booing. Lots and lots of cheering though. My only point is that the media that breathlessly reports that Trump got an "unexpected response" were hoping to see something that wasn't really there.

I saw that on Youtube, and did not hear any actual booing.

Also what would have worked was "if you can't think of anyone, choose Edwin Jackson".

I had 8 correct, missed my first guess at a Braves Gold Glove.

Love you forever estrepe1, you with the big goofy smile.

And he gets 2 more walks to add to his already-insane total. He and his .400 OBP are leading off next year, DH every day and LF once a week.

If people in Ireland pronounce 33 as torty-tree, how do they pronounce Charles the Third?

Matt Nokes is the poster child for that 1987 rabbit ball.

What are the emergency room experiences now? Overcrowding, respirators? What do nurses think?

Yes but the question remains...how do you know if your Melba toast is stale?

I doubt it 100%. I tend to believe the people who say that Hinch and Harris are operating together, at least for now. Hinch has to be smart enough to know that if he gets himself fired by the Tigers he'll never work in the majors again, after the humiliating debacle in Houston. Hinch and Harris will reach a consensus on every significant addition to, or subtraction from, the major league roster. Candelario is Exhibit A. And there is no way that Harris is influencing day-to-day lineup construction, telling Hinch to play certain guys. Never in a million years.

People do overlook the fact that Arizona was a homecoming for him, he spent the first 10 years of his pro career there and was there as recently as early 2020. It was a very natural choice for him to make.
