Can he hit?

Can the Tigers build on the one hit attack to this point?

Hutchison the hill.

Offense anyone?

73 pitches through three.

Jim just dropped his first “keyhole.”

58 pitches over two innings.

Rodriquez is flirting with a three inning start right now…if he’s lucky.

Thought the same thing. He’s on it.

Proof that baseball season is really here. The first Sam Bernstein commercial!

Opening Day and we’re already a half game back 😁

I have thought the same thing recently. These people are fighting for survival with every resource they have. Is the West willing to allow Russia to take Ukraine while the world watches the slaughter of innocents? Putin doesn’t care about his own people. Sanctions don’t move the needle with him. He’s not going to suffer.

E-Sock is hitless in four at bats tonight. Avila is a master in the trade market.

Nice area.

Avila gets fleeced again. The season is lost.

The Padres have agreed to a trade sending right-handers Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagán to the Twins, with left-hander Taylor Rogers and outfielder Brent Rooker going to San Diego, according to MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi on Thursday. Neither team has confirmed the trade.

The market may be in for some volatility post Fed Minutes release, in a serious way. Should be entertaining.

Minutes from the recent Fed meeting due to be published at 2 p.m. today. The 10 year benchmark is above 2.6% this morning. I would not be surprised at all to see the Fed raise 50 basis points next. I give it a 55-45 chance of happening. Thoughts?

This is bullshit. Agree. Traveling down and making lodging accommodations and every other consideration is a time consuming exercise. How about flight plans/tickets? This will be a major pain for those that had planned to attend tomorrows game.

As a Tar Heel, congratulations to Kansas. Winning it all would have been monumental in Hubert Davis’ first year as head coach. But hey, ruining Duke’s season and making their fan base, and EX-coach, believe the sun won’t ever shine again is quite the consolation prize.

My wife and I have been to numerous minor league games over the years. You never really know how many players you see in the minors that will eventually make the bigs. I go back and scour Austin Meadows track record out of curiosity. I didn’t realize he had committed to Clemson before opting to sign with Pittsburgh. Cutting to the chase here, we saw a game in Charleston, WV on August 5, 2014. That’s 2014 folks. We travelled up to follow the Asheville Tourists on a road trip. The West Virginia Power was the Low A affiliate of the Pirates at the time. I remembered the trip well and several details but didn’t find a box score on-line anywhere. So, I emailed an acquaintance with the Asheville Tourists this morning and asked if in his archives he had the box score of August 5, 2014. In less than 30 minutes he sent it to me. Austin Meadows made four plate appearances in that game. He was 1-3 with a BB. He batted third in the lineup that day. After going down the Power’s lineup I was in for another surprise. The number two hitter for West Virginia that day was none other than an aspiring Jacoby Jones!

I’m lifelong North Carolina stock but welcome to the boards. 👍

Best news in a long time regarding this team. Avila is serious about the “full bore” phrase I guess.

Your 2022 American League MVP Isaac Paredes

This comes over as huge. Wow. I seriously like this move while having a hard time believing Avila could get something like this done.
