Whatever happened to that? How difficult would it be to get it started?

Bobrob’s 2023 Preseason Predictions
Motor City Sonics replied to bobrob2004's topic in Detroit Tigers
Hope you're right on the power return. I felt bad for him............I mean Vertigo............such a bizarre affliction. It ended Nick Esasky's career. And for anyone who says we lost the trade for him. I disagree. Paredes is not all that great. -
The impending death of Bally Sports
Motor City Sonics replied to Motor City Sonics's topic in Detroit Tigers
Nothing like waiting until the last moment - you know, like with the lockout last year. Sure worked out well wit the record number of pitching injuries. I can see why they'd apply that strategy again. Is Manfred the worst commish ever? For any sport? He might be. -

Has anything been announced on how this is going to work? Nothing like waiting until the very last minute. -
How come Fox News is allowed to have a lean, but something like Twitter can't? It's a private company, they can do what they want. Nobody ever said it was fair or had to be fair. Don't like it? Start an alternative.

Both will make the team when Riley fouls another one off his foot with a week left in spring training. The curse lives. -
Randall Berka is the man arrested for threatening Whitmer and others. He's a nut case. He was involuntarily committed in 2012. He was legally prohibited from owning guns but his mother purchased three guns for him. She needs to be arrested and charged. Don't have any sympathy for her. The law only works when it's followed and I don't care for any sob stories about poor mom.

Coffee shops in Lansing had to close down temporarily because they were receiving threats. Probably from Christians...........
-
probably a better person to do this since you don't go around telling everyone about God and Jesus and using it like a sledgehammer.
-
exactly. you should not have to TELL me. You know who's acting more Christian than she is? Dave Grohl, the Devil himself, who is cooking food for the homeless. That's what Jesus would be doing, not making fun of an elderly man who fell down. Not a fan of Mitch, but I don't find humor in an 81 year old man getting a concussion. But hey, they joked about Paul Pelosi getting attacked with a hammer too.
-
Hillary Clinton should have never walked back her "Basket of Deplorables" comment. She's never been more correct in her life.
-
Jenna Ellis............who is a Christian...........don't worry, she'll keep telling you that, she'll keep telling you that because nothing she does would lend any hint that she followed any teachings of Christ. . I'm sure Jesus would make fun of a senior citizen getting a concussion.

So, nobody wanting to pay $50 million for Lamar Jackson is being called "collusion" by some How many teams need a QB? How many of those teams really want to pay that price. Now, 6 months ago he might have gotten that. But his whole second half routine, including not even travelling with the team in a huge road game - I think it might have cost him a lot of money. Every single team you could possibly link to Lamar has an absolutely legit reason for not spending that much on a selfish jerk of a player. The Lions are some odds. Why upset that apple cart? Their fine with Goff. The Lions need a competent backup, not a flashy starter. The Lions need to spend on defense. With the current offense plus a healthy Jameson and a top half of the league defense - they are actually Super Bowl contenders. Lamar would only mess it up on about 5 different levels.

You know how we have talked about the sports bubble bursting? Well, maybe not in one big explosion, but a lot of little leaks. It's too top-heavy to sustain itself if you measure it in any way that has existed before. Same thing is happening to college sports, except for the Big Ten and SEC, but that will get too big to manage too. It's happening in entertainment, it is starting to happen in music. It has all gotten way too expensive, way too fast and when you have to start weighing whether you can afford to see your favorite team or favorite band instead of just saying here's a few bucks without thinking about it, you run into problems. Baseball's curse is that there are so many games that, unless your team is in a pennant race, there's nothing all that special about going to a game. How many actual good teams, I mean really serious contendars are there.....7? 8? The rest of the league is nothing special and other than the buzz of starting the season, once you get to May and you know your team is not that good, it's easy to turn away. Football doesn't have this problem since its once a week, on a weekend usually and there are only 8 or 9 games, plus, when you break down the parity in football.........20-24 teams have a real shot of making the playoffs into December. -
It has nothing to do with liking Ted Cruz or not. What he said was not an opinion, or fudging things from a different angle, it was a flat-out lie - because he knows how stupid Fox viewers are. I am sure less than 50% could point to more than 20 states on a U.S. map. That's what he's counting on here. The voters in Texas have no shame.

You don't MISPEAK deliberately...............you LIE.

Can you imagine if Robert Saleh had not been stuck with him? If they had Mike White starting or even an average QB, like Ryan Tannehill or Andy Dalton, they're a playoff team last year.

I can't see him pitching over 100 innings, Even though he is in the rotation right now. -
People seem to think the Jets are going to have instant success with Rodgers. I think it's going to be a nightmare that's going to leave Jets fans clamoring for Mike White again. Where does Zack Wilson go?

I think a lot also has to do with the package of incredible prospects we get from the Dodgers for Javy ! (kidding, kidding) -
2023 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to RatkoVarda's topic in Detroit Tigers
Thats how I feel. Lipcius is very interesting. His OBP last year looked great, but does it translate to the majors? Only one way to know. I think RK needs more time. He fell so fast last year, you wonder if it's still the injury. -
2023 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to RatkoVarda's topic in Detroit Tigers
But honestly, losing Nevin or Cesar really doesn't move the needle much, does it? Dime-A-Dozen guys. Might be better to get a good long look at Kreidler or Andre to see what they have for the future, unless they feel that would be overmatched in real game situations. Nevin and Cesar feel more like seat-fillers. Nevin's olbique injury certainly changes a few things. Those can take awhile. -

2023 Detroit Tigers Spring Training Thread
Motor City Sonics replied to RatkoVarda's topic in Detroit Tigers
the last two years for Cesar, his OBP was .308 and .311..............that doesn't sound like the type of player Scott Harris is looking for - unless they feel that Andre doesn't get enough playing time up north and it's better to have him in Toledo, but the Tigers don't have the luxury of letting the better option marinate in the minors. They can't start out 9-23 for a third straight year.......plus the way Hinch uses players, Andre would get plenty of ABs right from the start. They could go with Andre and Cesar and have Nevin in the minors too. As mentioned here, if Schoop looks terrible, no reason to keep him around. Andre's scorching the ball right now. If he earns a trip up north it sets an example for other guys. I disagree that there are only 5 who are automatics for the roster. I would agree that there are 5 guaranteed to start almost every day (Greene, Meadows, Schoop, Baez and Cabrera). The other 8 are mix-and-match and they'll all get playing time and all at multiple positions. Miggy is just in the way. It's frustrating. They can't cut him because that would be a horrible look, but it would benefit the team. Maybe there's a spark and he has a Pujols type of send off, but not likely.
