Tenacious D

Now hearing that Eduardo Rodríguez will be bringing his 5.04 ERA and famous 7-layer dip.

Sorry to hear this—one of the first MLB superstars I became aware of as a kid in the 70’s. Such a complex legacy. Truthfully, his inclusion in the HOF seems insignificant now. RIP Charlie

Wonder if Harris will throw his old boss a bone and hire him in some capacity?

I think they soured because the product wasn’t good and ownership was actively courting other cities.

Not a lip reader, but I think it was something like, “do you like movies about gladiators, George?”

You forgot, “give the Tigers hell, bro”

This team seems like it will either continue to overachieve through the playoffs, oblivious to this fact, or they will turn into a pumpkin and crash to earth. I’ll take the former, but regardless of the outcome, this experience should be transformative in accelerating their development. Building a winning and cohesive culture is an intangible that I think will pay huge dividends next year and beyond.

The remaining 2,500 were too hungover to make it to the game. Vegas, baby!

I wonder if the relationship had become too negative and distracting with Oakland fans? If they were only averaging 10-15K fans per game, they can accomplish close to that in Sacramento, which is more affluent and probably excited about having a MLB team for a few seasons. Ultimately, if they don’t end up in Vegas, this will drag out and become a bigger mess.

Yes, I should be set for tomorrow

Apparently the Cards don’t plan to bring Goldschmidt back. He had an off-year and might be slowing down, but probably the type of veteran insurance that might be worth bringing on, in case Tork remains inconsistent. Would not require a long term deal, and there might be something left in his tank.

AI-generated Howard? He already sounded a bit like a robot.

Btw, Canha, Chafin and Kelly are having a watch party on Tuesday afternoon if any one wants to join them.

Selfishly, I’ll be stuck at work and getting updates from my phone. But really sucks for kids who will be in class for at least the first hour of each game.

That sucks.

And the garbage cans are stored.

I still think of Mize as part of the core moving forward. Not an ace, but a solid starter. With that, I’d like to see him get the experience by being on the wild card roster.

Looks like we could be Texas bound. The ultimate David v Goliath showdown. At least we won’t have Greg Pappas returning with his passive aggressive posts.

Yeah, forgot about Reese.

Keider? I would have thought he would be the Game 2 starter. Looking like it will be a bullpen game now.

Where’s our Sunday Tork Bomb?

Carp! Gritty Tigs

You’re right, but I can think of 12 million reasons why he’ll get another shot in ‘25.

I suspect he’s done for this season, but they’ll likely bring him back next season to see if he can pull a Frank Tanana/Kenny Rogers season.
