  1. Even with that partnership, if a player, manager, coach, team executive or umpire gets caught gambling on baseball, they're gonna be out. We've already lost an umpire and I can't imagine how much they paid that interpreter to take the arrows for Ohtani. Most people with any sense ain't buyin' that story.
  2. Baseball writers are not going to let him in. Especially because he was given the chance to go speak to teams and young people on the dangers of gambling and he refused to do it. They gave him an out and he refused it. Plus, playing the victim.........most people with a shred of dignity hate when someone who put themselves in a hole, play the victim. Ooooh, Poooor Pete. My arse. That dude was every sleazy stereotype of a gambling addict. A lot of these athletes - they get too old to compete because time is undefeated. So they need that edge and gambling is the thing that gives it to them, but I don't want to hear sob stories when it burns them. Phil Mickelson complains about how high his taxes are when he's lost over $40 million from gambling in just a four-year stretch.
  3. The Dalton Varsho catch. Nothing will top this in 2025. It's not possible
  4. Yep. I agree with Chasfh, but it's a money thing. But it's not just the gambling. Rose was a true degenerate through and through. A horrible human being. Plus, putting him in will be like a victory for Trump, who will claim he got him in. They're a lot alike, after all. If you put Rose in, why not Joe Jackson? Why not clear Buck Weaver? No evidence they booted a ball during the World Series. Most evidence is that all Weaver did was stay silent.
  5. I was gambling in Havana I took a little risk Send lawyers, guns and money Dad, get me out of this HEY !
  6. I remember the 2003 Tigers. I think they were 3-25 at one point.
  7. But imagine being in that division even if you weren't terrible.
  8. But Phish, who dominated the fan voting, does not get in. Then why have the fan voting? Carol Kaye got in. I emailed her back in February and she emailed me back. How cool is that? She just turned 90!
  9. Because he knows he's never pitching in a close game again.
  10. Dude, the game just ended. They haven't even showered yet.
  11. 0 Runs Alright Kenta. Well Done, sort of
  12. Now he hits a guy. Come on COME ON.
  13. Come on dude, get out of this inning with no runs. Preserve the shutout.
  14. Kenta time. Give me a clean inning. Please. Is it too much to ask?
  15. Well, here comes Greene and then our other MVP Torky.
  16. 7-0 Nobody Out Man on 2nd Our MVP McKinstry is up
  17. Sorry, Sanchez did NOT give him a lane there. I think he would have been out anyway, but still.
  18. I don't know that I even want Manuel Margot back.
  19. Best Record in the AL so far.
  20. Is that what they are waiting for to drop Kenta? I mean, they don't even pitch him with a 6-run or 4-run lead. With a team that uses a bullpen as much as the Tigers do, don't you need all 8 to rotate? Right now they just have him keeping a seat warm in the bullpen. Can't get away with that forever. I don't see Cobb starting as stacked as this rotation is. Maybe they use him like they've used Montero as a once in a while guy to stretch out Jobe's limited innings, but I can't see a 6 man rotation happening.
  21. It's absurd to grade a draft before anyone has played a game. It's nearly as absurd to grade it after the draft class' rookie season. 3 years is fair With that in Mind. Round 1 - ED Aidan Hutchinson. A+ Game-changer. Let's hope he stays healthy Round 1 - WR Jameson Williams B+. Rocky start with injures and suspension, An A+ when he's on the field Round 2 - ED Josh Paschal C+ Hasn't been healthy enough, and he doesn't change games, but a solid rotation guy Round 3 - S Kerby Joseph A+ He's another game changer Round 5 - TE James Mitchell D - He didn't make an impact, even for a 5th rounder Round 6 - LB Malcom Rodriguez A- For where they drafted him, he's been a very positive player round 6 - LB/ED James Houston B One trick pony, flash in the pan, but for a 6th round guy, we got something good Round 7 . CB Chase Luas Inc - He was a 7th rounder, what do you want? A An outstanding draft. 4 positive impact players, 2 of them stars. If Josh Paschal can be a little better, then this is kind of an epic draft. This is why I don't really question what appears to be some strange picks this year after the first round. I completely trust Brad. He turned this team into one of the best in the NFL - THROUGH THE DRAFT - in 3 years - and it does get harder when you pick later, the cost of being really good. With this year's draft they had fewer mid-level picks because they moved picks to go get specific guys they wanted. If they wanted those specific guys, there must be a reason for it. And as others have said - Brad has built the roster so well that they really don't need those picks anymore. Not many places to put them.
  22. I think Dan Dickerson first said since 2011, didn't he. Wow, it's the year 2125
