The cookie store is three blocks from my office (before I went remote).

When my daughter was about eleven or so, she came up with the idea to be a tub of spackling compound for a costume. I was very pleased to assist in making it happen. She is a bit non-traditional.

I am interested in what the new guy says about why they wanted Paredes. Did they see anything that could be of value to the Tigers, when applied to other players or the system. Not expecting anything especially, and doubt there is any dirt on Meadows fitness.

It will be nice to have insight the Rays perspective on the Paredes deal.

Drumpf to be subpoenaed by the committee.

Well it is in their name to be lazy.

The analysis of the problems are good (Haase/Miggy), it’s the binary action plans that could use some nuance IMO.

Exactly, number 7 had just picked himself up, a little slowly, after Elmer had crushed him, he was the guy that should have pressured him before the goal. Instead- wide berth.

Other than that, juusst a bit outside. 😎

Seven years is an arbitrary cutoff. The rankings would shift around if another timespan was chosen. Not a good look for Miggy either way, just noting the construct.

Needs more fiber

I assumed it was going to be about the young players wardrobes. This is good too. 😎

Are there paper towels to be tossed to relief workers?

Just a guess, but I think they will try and thread the needle with Miggy’s playing time next year. Not release him (mostly for PR) , hope he rests up and can have enough health to perform at a low, but not awful, level. Limit his games, with Carpenter and/or Meadows able to DH. See if that keeps the knee healthy enough to produce close to what he did for a short stretch earlier this year. But be ready to DL him (60 day?) if he falters to the level he’s been on for the last couple moths. There are roster composition problems with carrying him that way. Maybe he gets 200 ABs and sits a lot. Maybe he objects and it all blows up. I just don’t see them cutting him loose to start the season, or going forward with the idea he’s the regular DH. How big is the eye of the needle?

That has been on my mind too, and beating the Sux is always good, but thrice so no.

Also, not someone who might be out of baseball after a cup of coffee, but will still want to be able to say “yeah, I struck out Albert Puhols”. Conversely, the old guy might think, here’s my last chance to get some fame, as the guy who served it up.

Thanks for the awesome landing spot when we had to bail out.

We’re all pissed to some degree about the team, and venting is probably a good thing on a personal level. It’s a forum, so let the opinions flow. Speculation about the search, or CI’s motivation seems ungrounded in factual info and more so in individual disgust.

Did Quintana have a NTC?

Everyone? Name two.

Viña, it was all about Viña. 😎

Thanks for the snippets.

It certainly worked with Stan. What a dolt.
