  1. But Jung was a "top 100" prospect before the season started and these prospect lists are opinions which might not be shared by insiders.
  2. Are Sweeney and Jung "sell low guys" or is that just somrething that fans talk about?
  3. Booser is pitching. They brought in one of the fans to pitch?
  4. There is writing off a prospect and there is not counting on a prospect until he proves himself. I usually do the latter with every prospect.
  5. I also don't remember anything about the 2012 series. I just remember it as a dud with nothing interesting happening. I don't think I even got emotional about it. Not like 2006 or 2009 or 1987.
  6. That's just another reason for why it doesn't matter who they play!
  7. When it comes to post-season, a team is not a real champion unless they can beat everyone, so I don't worry about who they face.
  8. The Red Sox once had a prospect Jeff Ledbetter who was supposed to develop into the next great slugger. The local media pumped him up big time. He eventually flopped and fans started calling him Bedwetter.
  9. Another bad choice. It's funny. I remember them wearing those shorts for about a month, but it was actually only three games.
  10. Oh yeah, I hate that oppo Taco thing.
  11. That is pretty much what I said. He owns them.
  12. Somebody has to say it... .600 BABIP not sustainable!
  13. I was assuming it would me Malloy, but looking at Sweeney's numbers, he has fallen more than I realized. For what it's worth, Statcast does not like his defense either. This is all kind of depressing as he seemed pretty solid overall a few weeks ago.
  14. Right, there is no algorithmic rule. In the vast majority of cases, it goes to the first reliever who comes in, but there is no rule which says it has to go to him. Even the practice of rewarding the win to a reliever who was in the game when the team took the lead is not a rule. If that reliever is very ineffective, the scorer does not have to give him the win.
  15. Yup, I've gotten tired of talking about it. It's the dsame thing over and over again and it's obvious that nobody that matters cares.
  16. I doubt his tweets are even him. However, allowing someone to represent him in this way is nuts.
  17. Looking at his stats, I am not surprised that nobody wanted him. His walk rate is scary. The Tigers apparently saw aomething in him they think they can fix. I know he is high velocity.
  18. The USAIDS cuts are not going to be reversed, so it's not just his legacy.
  19. I don't know. I'd probably act like that too if I had to listen to that voice in the background.
  20. I wasn't referring to anything you said. I was talking in general. I don't like whataboutisms because there is no way you can compare what Trump does to other past presidents. However, Democrats can be critcized separately from whataboutisms.
  21. I appreciate that this forum is dedicated to trashing Trump. It's why I come here! However, I think criticism of things that Democrats do is fine too, not as a defense of what Republicans are doing, but as a statement of things they do that posters don't like.
  22. Or maybe they wanted the Tigers to sign players because they thought the the Tigers were close to being a playoff team and they could improve their chances by filling some holes. On the other hand, there was this one guy who thought the Tigers shouldn't sign anyone because they were not ready yet. 😃
  23. It was pretty predictable given his low walk rate and relatively high k rate. Those guys never seem to age well.
