Can't tell much from one clip, but he looks kind of chunky for a middle infielder.

Process generally carries more weight for me than results when it comes to predictions. The problem with draft picks though is that hardly any fan knows enough about these guys to have an informed opinion abut the process. From my perspective, it's pretty random.

I am generally in favor of selecting position players with draft picks, but there is a lot of risk even with prospects. So, it's going to be really hard to fault the Tigers if Jobe ends up being successful.

The media keeps saying Biden is in trouble because of uncommitted votes. What about a former President only getting 68% of his own party's vote? That is pretty weak. Dump got 94% in 2020. I am very concerned that Dump will win the general election, but his primary performance has been poor.

The Mayer/Jobe debate hasn't even begun. They are both prospects who haven't reached AAA yet. The Tigers could win that debate by a lot or they could lose it by a lot. Like the Wyatt/Clark debate, we won't know the answer for years.

It appears to be a pattern and it is is definately worth watching. Whether or not the same thing is happening in the general election polls is unknown, but seeing his strength getting overestimated in the primaries gives us hope that the same thing is happening in the general election polling.

Max has the attitude. He knows he's going to be a superstar. Ultimately, he is going to either a superstar or a bust, because Max aint got no time for mediocrity or average or solid. That's just the way it is.

I don't want to nitpick your hard work, but I think you meant 3.4 HR per 100 PA.

What did you think of Dean Palmer?

The media has been doing Trump a huge favor by broadcasting every word he has said or tweeted for the last 8 years. This keeps him in the news constantly and gives him legitimacy among the masses. Sure most of it is crazy talk, but if they see him in the the media every day, he can't be that bad of a guy, can't be a psychopath, right? The media needs him and will do what it can to get him re-elected.

Mail-in voting has made a big difference in participation and this is of course beneficial Biden (the real reason the right hates mail-in voting). I would guess this is being made more difficult in some states this time around, although I could be wrong about that.

No, they hated Trump and his incompetence and stupidity was fresh in their minds. My fear is they may have forgotten and may now be blaming the current President for everything that is wrong in their world.

"What the **** is wrong with you? Is this the first time you've ever played ball?"

In my case, it's not playing ball in years that caused it. The velocity at which the ball dropped caught me by surprise.

I briefly went through a libertarian phase in my 20s, but came to realize it is mostly about selfishness and really no more realistic than pure socialism.

Libertarianism definitely does attract some nut jobs. The Wallaces and Dukes now make up part of the core of the Republican party, so you won't get them running as independents Amash is not bad. He has spoken out against Trump though, so he won't get anywhere in an election.

No, I am talking about one of them running as a third party candidate in the presidential race. The part where I mentioned you is just a joke. Every time I have an idea, people say it's not going to work. It reminds of the Tigers forum and somebody always has a trade idea or a free agent which gets shot down as a terrible idea. I am that guy in the political forum. 😀 It's OK though. I am aware of my lack of political knowledge.

We know that Justin Amash is real. I just looked up Mapstead and Rectenwald and they are real. I am all for one of the Libertarians running as an Independent and stealing a few Republican votes. Now, of course it would be better if they voted for Biden instead, but nobody who would vote for a Libertarian would consider a Democrat. Waitning for MTU to come here and tell me that's not how it works!

I think Trump would have died of Covid if he didn't have the best medical care in the world. They can do amazing things with hearts today though. My dad lived until 99 and his heart was functioning less than 40% the last dozen years.

Remember when Pete Buttigieg was going to be the next big thing?

If there were no term limits for President I am pretty sure Obama would have beaten Trump. He'd probably still be President today and he'd probably be better at it with experience. So, I can see that argument.

Judging from the responses, I gather that term limits are not good for Democrats. 😀 So, if that's the case, I am sorry I mentioned it! How about "term" limits for the Supreme court?

I agree. Biden and Trump will both live into their 90s unless they get something unmanageable like some aggressive form of cancer. They could be in very poor health for a long period of time, but they will be kept alive.

I once dropped a pop-up at a minor league game and I could hear the announcer in the near by booth mention it.

Is he declining or was he unlucky last year? His hard hit% and exit velocity were still elite. Given his age, he may well be on the decline, but that might not be a safe assumption. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/matt-chapman-656305?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb
