He did not regress tonight!

Probably worse. I had actually forgotten about him. When I think about players coming back from injuries, he's not one of the ones that comes to mind.

You keep saying there was no way he would ever sign with Detroit, but I don't see any evidence that that is true. Harris would not have stayed involved up to the end if there was no chance to get him. If Boston didn't make that huge one-year offer, he may very well have taken Detroit's best offer.

Torres was a steal.

That wouldn't be terrible, but I've rather have Bregman. 😄

Baez's .398 BABIP suggests a lot of regression is coming. I am fine with Torres playing second base. The point I was making is that Torres did not have a good reputation as a teammate, but has not been a problem at all. I doubt Bregman would have been either. I still wish they got him. I am really enjoying the team as is, but I think Bregman would have been a great addition.

That is always a possibility, but there is also a possibility he could have improved the environment even more. Everything I've heard about him suggests he is a good teammate. They haven't been affected by Torres's unwilingness to play other positions and Bregman openly stated he would be willing to move off third if necessary.

It's a pretty effective combo. Trumps reels in all the red hats to get into power. Then the oligarchs manipulate him into giving them what they want.

Especially one that is not a good fielder and needs his bat to be useful.

In 1883, Providence beat Philadelphia 28-0 behind Old Hoss Radbourn.

That's another thing that can easily happen to a healthy older person, but when you have a very public job it can get magnified. It can certainly be a problem if it becomes too frequent but I wouldn't be concerned that "something is going on".

It's very common to forget names when you are in your 60s. It happens to me frequently. It doesn't matter too much in my work, because I don't need to say names much. It's more difficult for a broadcaster who doesn't have the option of just not sayig the name or hesitating until he gets it right. For example, if Framber Valdez is pitching, I can imagine an older broadcaster have Ismael on his mind and just saying it.

You finally made it.

I've seen from pretty vile stuff from gamblers when things don't go their way. This post was made after Arraez was carried off the field on a stretcher after his terrible collision at first base. https://x.com/hittinslips/status/1914096393062588737

Lots of fans missed the only nine-inning 7 hit game in history...Rennie Stennett.

The only bigger shutout since 1900 was this one: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN197509160.shtml

I got the win. That's all that matters.

I once threw about 150 pitches as a reliever in a Little League game. I came into the game when the starter allowed 7 runs in the first inning without retiring a batter. I then pitched my team to a 23-16 victory. Lots of walks and errors and an umpire with a small strike zone! Those games must have been torture to watch.

I was introduced to religion and some of the rituals, but was never indoctrinated. I used to try to become more faithful because I thought it was a good thing, but now I'm not sure it is good or bad thing. Religion is a personal thing that helps some people, but it never worked for me. There is too much uncertanty and things which don't make sense to me.

Thanks to Rajai

So much speed and athleticism on that team.

There is no such thing as being due! They will break out when they break out and there is no way of predicting when it will happen.

The Trump haters are turning against each other. That's what he wants!😀

What does that mean? The peril is there whether I underestimate him or not.

I'd take them over Trump though.
