Happy Skub day! I like Malloy batting between Keith and Greene.

How do you unify a country? Elect the first black female president and make the racist misogynists scurry back under their rocks.

I'm sure Faedo and Brieske could be stretched out if necessary.

Can we not rehash the whole Erod thing yet again? Nobody here actually knows what happened.

They showed the crowd at Trump's rally in Grand Rapids. I see white people.

Sore right shoulder. Heading back to Detroit for testing.

Hold my sake.

Narcissist con man recognizes the most successful scam of all time when he sees it.

We need a couple extra hours to secure our igloos before the game.

Nice area. Buggy whip.

What a cool kid.

Trade Skubal to compete in 2025 doesn't make sense. You trade him if your window doesn't open until '27. I doubt they trade him. Is a team going to put 200+ innings on his arm this year? Seems like an injury concern to me.

Less than 2.5 years of control with injury history and risk.

Skubal has been great but not as great as Soto was at the time of the trade.

Third round Josh Randall RHP from U of SD. Sounds like Foley but with a chance of developing a change up and being a starter.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2024-mlb-draft-day-one-recap/ "This might be my favorite group from Day One. Lefty-hitting shortstops with power are rare and Detroit got one in Bryce Rainer at 11, hit tool risk be damned. I had a first round grade on Owen Hall, whose frame and arm action are screaming with long-term projection, and his pitch quality foundation is already in a great spot. Ethan Schiefelbein is almost like a diversification pick because he’s polished. There were some college arms available who I have ranked a little ahead of him (Bruce Cunningham was the big one), so it wasn’t as if Schiefelbein was an alternative to a lack of college pitchers, but I had him ranked right around where he was taken."

Looking at the MLB grades would put Rainer #3, Hall #6 and Schiefelbein top 10 in the Tigers top 30. Yes of course I copy and pasted Schiefelbein...twice.
