He had two games where he threw 13 innings. It would take about 7 or 8 pitchers to do that today! No ghost runners in those games either.

He has never "thanked" anyone in his life, but maybe, it's about White. Whatever it is, it's all about him. That's they only thing of which we can always be sure with him.

I don't think you can make definitive comparisons across eras with pitchers. When you compare guys with 200 IP with guys like Newhouser, Lolich and McLain who had close to 30 CG and over 300 IP, It's apples and oranges. I am not saying those guys were better, just that it was a very different set of circumstances. You can say that those pitchers couldn't do that in this era where every pitch is thrown with full effort and you'd be right, but if they were confined to 7 inning starts, they would have had much better rates than they did. The question is which pitcher dominated his own era the most? I think Skubal, McLain and Verlander and some others were all incredibly dominant in their best seasons.

I thought was bad things that come in threes.

I wanted them to keep Melton in the rotation, so this was good to see today. I am not sure where they need him most at this point as both their rotation and bullpen need help. Just make sure you get a lot of innings out of him down the stretch.

I think Trump is hosting a ufc fight to bring back ufc fans after Rogan **** on him about Epstein. He's an idiot about most things, but he does know marketing.

Nope, Alex Lange.

He has a 113 wRC+ which make him an above average hitter. The average for DH is 114, so he is average compared to DHs.

I don't think that's really true. I don't believe he likes himself and he needs to be loved to validate himself. Then he punishes those who don't love him. I believe he is a deeply ill individual.

You were less dogmatic this time! I can see where you'd be interested in contract negotiation if you have done it for a living. I admit I have zero experience in contract negotiation, even my own contracts. Thus, this an argument that I don't particularly care about.

Trump read this and thought you were talking about Salma Hayek! I do agree there has always been a conflict for Trump about wanting to be loved and wanting to be king. That may save us in some ways and screw us in others.

The difference is I have expected him to go through a bad stretch all year.

Raising the cap seems like a no brainer to me. I don't know if raising the edge is even a good idea for the economy. You are forcing people who are possibly past their working prime to work longer while possibly making it more difficult for younger people to find work.

That's a fair statement. I don't know if he knew, but I don't think he made an offer just to make it look like he did something. If that was his intention, he could have just leaked a fake offer to the media. I don't see this as any different from Bregman last year.

The debate is about whether it's OK for a GM to offer a player less than what he says he wants? I think it is because nobody really knows what kind of offers he is getting except for the teams making the offers. It was widely reported that Bregman wanted an 8-year deal worth 200 million last year, but it was also reported that Harris offered him 6 years 170. Was that OK?

The problem is that even though people are living longer, they aren't necessarily healthier and more able to work. People are being kept alive by drugs, but not always living well. And they sure aren't doing anything to make us healthier. They are currently doing the opposite.

I don't think there is a big difference in talent between them. Morton might be marginally better and he has experience, but I don't want either one pitching in a big game.

This is why it won't get pulled entirely or even close to entirely.

There may be cuts, but I doubt social security will go away. I am trying not to count on social security for my retirement income, but realistically I expect I'll still get it, just not as much as it's currently projected.

And then it was voided because he failed to pass the physical. My point is though that not every player gets what they want. Presumably Avila did not have access to the Giants offer before he made his offer (assuming that he did make such an offer). He may have thought that Correa was too much of an injury risk and would not get a better offer. Bregman made demands that were not met last winter and Harris reportedly made an offer for less than he wanted. Why is that different?

Just because somebody wants a certain amount doesn't mean they are going to get it. Players often end up getting less than they demand.

I don't think his Evangelist supporters would like it. They generally don't like swear words. It's OK when Trump uses them because it's Trump being Trump and he has to to talk tough because the whole world is against him. Plus, he is saving America and Christianity, so they are able to tolerate swear words. I don't think they want their chidren using those words though.

I really don't. I don't think there is anyway for fans to know these things.

You don't know that.

Perhaps Correa did consider the offer (assuming there was an offer and that it was 275 million as reported) and then decided against it and instead went for a shorter term deal with the Twins similar to what Bregman did with the Red Sox. I think it was fine for the Tigers to make an offer in both cases. I don't know how much the Tigers offer was in either case but ,as a fan, if they want somebody, I'd rather see them try than not try.
