Correct and if he had better hitters, he wouldn't do things like bat a fourth outfielder in the middle of the order.

Not only that, but he keeps hitting him third.

I think they were in a position with the Skubal two-year window where that kind of move might have worked out well. With just one more year of Skubal, I thkink this off-season would be too late for such a move.

Everybody would be complaining about his strikeouts. Should have signed Bregman. He's exactly the kind of player Harris talks about all the time.

I thought the game was starting at 1:00. Now I can get more work done. I have no idea whether I'll be able to watch this game on my tv. We'll see.

I think it's very unlikely that he signs with anyone before free agency. Boras's clients almost always become free agents.

He can't hit lefties, so Hinch took a calculated risk that Jones would get a hit in a key spot as a pinch hitter. It's the first time he's done that with Greene, but it wasn't a terrible idea.

I think if they trade him, it means that they don't think they'll be in the playoffs in 2026. So, it doesn't matter who gets him. Then he is going to be a free agent after they year regardless and in that case the Tigers won't have control over who gets him. The only thing they can control is keeping him through 2026 and hoping that he leads them to one World Championship.

I had an eye appointment during game 2 vs the Yankees in 2006. I caught Zumaya's famous inning, but had to go into the office in the 9th inning. I was in the waiting room with no cell phone and there was a delay. So, I got up and ran to my car and caught the last at bat on satellite radio. Then I ran back in the office just in time for my appointment. It's good they didn't check my blood pressure.

One of the all-time funniest ads.

It's easy to imagine. Threy have had many crappy examples of such teams over the past decade.

It's a starting pitcher beard, not one of those show beards that relievers wear for attention.

I think Red Sox fans are worse than Yankee fans, but that depends on whether you prefer self absorbed whiners with a victim complex or arrogant entitled assholes.

I believe we've seen Torkelson make that play before. Looking at the replay, I am surprised he missed it.

Oh, so they have thought of another way to not let me watch a game on MLB.tv? Nice. Hopefully, I can watch using youtube tv. It worked last year.

I missed most of the game because I had to teach. The class started with the scored tied 1-1 after four. I missed a great game apparently. Skubal and Greene come through when it counts.

My first fantasy team was called Schotts Stops. It was not my idea. A woman I knew was in a fantasy league at work and she asked me if I would draft the rest of her team for her in a keeper league. Karen's only rule was I could not trade Dennis Eckersley. I took over the team and was doing pretty well in the league but this was 1994, so you know how that turned out. By the way, if Karen knew what kind of person Schotts was, she would not have named the team after her. The next season I got my own team in Bill James Fantasy Baseball.

Even Kwan is not so good offensively. He doesn't strike out, but he had a .705 OPS. The Tigers had a far better offense most of the season. They need to get Greene, Torkelson and Carpenter back on track. The only area where the Indians are superior is the bullpen.

yes, they do. I did everything I could to keep my parents at home and away from rest homes. It was a big effort but well worth it to keep my parents human and reasonably happy into their 90s. My father had a group he would meet at McDonalds every day for years. He out lived all of them and got a little lonely at the end.

I get that too when I work at home. I now live alone, so I can go a whole day without seeing anyone. That can get to be isolating even for an introvert like me. I sometimes go to the store up the street to get a lemonade or something and see some people.

They might be able to do it if she's a woman.

I believe it's 13 pitchers max, same as the regular season.

It seems like for most of my life Detroit and Cleveland have not been good at the same time. The central division team that has given me the most pain is Minnesota. The Red Sox are the number one pain for me.

There will be plenty of that from many people if they lose the wildcard series.

I see the season as a whole as pretty much what I expected. The end was was very frustrating and disappointing and nothing to celebrate, but they played way over their heads in the first half. If someone told me at the beginning of the season that they would win 87 games and get a wild card. I would have been satisfied.
