WWJF?

Double down on being the party of lies, the party that makes criminals their heroes.

If this offseason had a broad crop of position player FAs, I would be on board with signing a few. Maybe next year? This year, get FA arms while there are solid options there, hope to add a bat if it makes sense?

The further up the ranks they go, the less I would be okay with misdemeanor/probation/fines type of bargaining. The pawns can get a slap on the wrist and shame, but for Meadows, Guliani and Drumpf I want felony pleas or convictions, even if it’s deemed too dangerous to send an ex-president to jail. They deserve it though.

Travis Fryman?

Well, MIguy is new, so he doesn’t know the need to book it! if it’s a lock.😎

One by one, they’re kraken under pressure.

Higher weight? 🧐

I know you have to attach the base post somewhere, but it looks like Al got the shaft. 😳

Sorry, my question was meant to only apply to batting-I know the glove is poor.

So for the scouts/pros that have watched Malloy at AA and AAA, does he seem to have a weakness that would be significantly exploited in the bigs? No crystal balls of course, but hints?

But only well done, with lots of ketchup.

Congrats. I have only checked pawn shops a few times, I guess you can’t expect to hit on a find like yours unless you take the time to investigate.

I would put the odds of all six of those players in Detroit next year at zero. Two are likely, most of the rest unlikely barring lots of injuries. So I’ll say Keith, Malloy and maybe Wenceel. I doubt Wenceel is more productive than Ibanez should he be called up. If Jung continues to impress in AF play, maybe he comes up instead of Perez. Personally I would dangle him for a trade.

The first sentence (and paragraph) of the NYT story Eric linked is this: Billions of dollars in U.S. military and economic aid have enabled Ukraine to fend off Russia’s invasion, but the future of that support is now in serious doubt.

I assumed it was directed to the hangnail scolds.

I-L-L, I-N-I!

I see it as not completely wrong most of the time. 😎

Agreed.

I forget about Lipcius. Which is maybe a good thing: there are enough more hyped guys in the pipeline that his level isn’t a big deal. Trade throw-in?

AZ Fall league? 🙂

My healthy, athletic daughter got covid during the initial waves (March 2020). Long covid has majorly degraded her health. Her experience with doctors (which hopefully is/has changed) was to dismiss the symptoms she had being covid related. I hope at some point there will be more studies, and effective treatments and she can regain much of what she lost.

@buddhaCan you document the two benching for me? I am aware of one start he missed after injuring his throwing hand (DL helmet impact), but no outright benching. Not that I paid strict attention.

Without much certainty about their futures, limitations or value, it seems to me that they have a good number of options for 2B. Keith, Wenceel, Jung, plus Kreidler/Short and others (not digging into Ibanez/Maton/Nevin levels). While it would be nice to have one of them also be able to play 3B well, and hit, it is an area I hope they explore for trades. Another young catcher for Jung (D Rushing?). One of Malloy/Carpenter should be the primary DH IMO, with the other either given limited play in the field, or shopped. This offseason has much more pitching FA talent, so if $$$ is to be spent, I would like a major spend there-Lorenzen as a floor for quality. Assuming ERod opts out, but maybe even if he doesn’t.

Did the announcer use an Americanism? It sounded like “smooked” meaning smoked on the one-timer.
