Thanks for filling in on the game thread.

Was it at this point that the Rangers bunted yesterday?

I think there are corresponding thought processes regarding hitting. Basically whether you favor a guy with high level contact/ good OBP or prefer the guy with power/ lessor OBP. Compounded by looking at body type and attempting to project a young frame a few years down the road. i would be interested in Micro’s take on that regarding the Tigers system, and possible comparison to other orgs. I realize one of the current offensive failures is lack of power, but am more thinking longer periods trends. G2 has commented on how difficult it is to project the ceiling for hitters-do the drop out at levels in the minors as the pitching gets better? Or look good until they make the bigs. Thoughts?

They sound like deplorables.

There is still a not insignificant risk of long covid.

My assumption is that everything Bonderman throws right now would be a changeup.

If I’m not mistaken, Reyes is only a little over a year older than Hill. As a Rule V pick he was rushed. I am not ready to move on from him (sorry TD).

Really the only way I would be interested in him is if 1) he is released, 2) he would be okay with a cheap minor league contract, 3) he would be willing to go to the pen, 4) at AAA he showed he could hit 92/93 with his fastball for an inning. All those things would need to happen. Then see how he does with the Tigers. Otherwise, what mtu sad.

Hey, we’re out of the cellar.

One problem I see with that idea is it lets the defender (in this case the guy that was trying to keep Kadri from getting the puck) completely off the hook. If the offensive player is responsible for maintaining control over his body, how can that work if another player hits him? I guess there could be an expanded crease zone where players are required to be slowing or stopping or swerving away from the net area (instead of full speed). Would still be a judgement call by the refs.

As I said before, still don’t understand the Useful part.

Still don’t see how you are Useful.

As a 22 yr old, it seems he’s a little behind for advancement through the minors, but is that true?

I could see a situation where KT is a slightly better DE while he’s on the field, but misses more games than AH, so it will be a wash, or slight advantage to the Lions.

And Bert got his six runs- 5 for us, one for them.

So the losing streak did end tonight. 🙃

One down 2

Plus home turf.

When war crimes are being committed by an invading force, any attempt to normalize it is something much worse than grandstanding. Or politics. It’s repugnant.

We are all Kyle Schwarber.

I think the investigators have this weird sinking feeling.

It wasn’t even that close to going out 😀

Nice problem. It does take on elements of an addiction. I am jonesing over a Greco right now, and holding out, so far.
