I felt compelled to get the bull pen stirring. Thanks for doing the game threads this week.

Arizona’s SP is Dallas Keuchel 2-5. 7.88 ERA

If Perot hadn’t decided to go over the edge with his campaign back in the day, (over the top accusations about Bush and quitting/reentering race) it would have been interesting to see how that would have finished up. I almost wondered at the time if he had regretted getting into the race and wanted out, without admitting it of course. Ross was all about, “looking under the hood.” Another chapter in American history.

…and the rebuild is 100% over. Now what…?

I’m anxious to see if Justin Amash will be on the ballot anywhere in 2024.

I voted for Johnson/Weld in 2016. I guess some would consider these guys odd balls as well. However, that vote has aged well.

Verlander beat the Yankees tonight. The old boy still has it. Just ask Kate.

Javy rings the bell!

Yes, I do remember. And I so miss those days.

Looking at JV’s line after seven innings against the Yankees is just a friendly reminder of what an incompetent FO the Tigers organization has.

Verlander vs Severino tonight at Yankee Stadium. You gotta know JV is stoked. May be worth a tune in.

I really have a hard time with crypto being a conversation in a thread on investing…but, be that as it may, from today’s WSJ: Hackers have stolen roughly $100 million in cryptocurrency from a blockchain bridge, technology company Harmony said Thursday. Harmony, which hosts the Horizon bridge that allows users to send crypto between different blockchains, said on Twitter it is working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and forensic specialists to identify who is behind the theft. The company said it is working to retrieve stolen funds. “We have also notified exchanges and stopped the Horizon bridge to prevent further transactions,” Harmony said. “The team is all hands on deck as investigations continue.”

Oh the irony…Dick’s is the first to stand up in defense of abortions.

Boy oh boy, if you can’t get excited about this series, what can you get excited about…🙄

I don’t know that there is a person in the FO capable of identifying and hiring a good GM if Avila departs. Illitch was oblivious enough to extend a guy that was failing in his job.

I’ve been spending a portion of my evening reading the recent articles chronicling Avila’s many failures. I had totally missed Zumaya’s rant from a month or so ago-beautiful. Call it false hope or whatever but I’m starting to think Avila may be on the clock now. Finally, there are some public rumblings regarding his futile tenure as a GM. There is not going to be a successful Avila in Detroit. I don’t care how long he stays here, he isn’t MLB caliber. Maybe around the AS break, or hopefully sooner, there will be a change. The man is actually a distraction at this point.

E-sock hit anotha’ one today.

There is no reason to have him throwing as many pitches as he has recently.

Another Avila gift to the organization. It’s like everything the man touches turns to 💩.

Gerritt Cole has a no hitter into the eighth against the Rays.

5-1 Sux

McCoskey

Chris McCoskey on deck.

Thanks 👍

Has Mize had the TJ surgery yet?
