Skubal was one of the best pitchers in baseball for two months. Now, he is awful. What happened?

According to Beck, Rony Garcia to the IL (sore shoulder) and Garrett Hill starting on Monday. My boy Hill is getting his shot!

Honus Wagner is insulted.

Hope we didn't corrupt you too much. Happy Birthday!

They Red Sox paid him big money when he was still a good innings eater. If he could still do that, someone would have paid him.

I was talking about Rodriguez, although it applies to Pineda too.

A pitcher who can give you 180 average innings a year is good and not that easy to find. Of course, pitching doesn't matter too much when you are getting shut out by the Royals.

Average innings eaters are good pitchers. His problem has been that he doesn't pitch that many innings most yerars.

Yes, parents have been more supportive of children with each generation. This can go too far, but I think there is more good than bad in giving support.

Helicopter parenting is too much support. Neglectful parenting is too much freedom which I think is more dangerous. The idea is to find the right balance.

Who knows? Maybe he saw a bag of burgers and fries in the front seat.

Sorry, but I don't see anything in that video which would indicate he is trying to take control of the vehicle.

They were treated like animals for the majority of the nation's history. It is still hard to imagine that they couldn't play major league baseball until 1947. In my lifetime, there have been segregated restaurants, segregated coutry clubs, etc. Despite laws existing to protect and give opportunities to Blacks they know there are still many people out there who view them as inferior and would favor segregation.

I think helicopter parents are better than the opposite extreme. I think a good balance of support and freedom is the best. Come to think of it, that is how I feel about liberals and conservatives as well.

You know you're getting old when you start talking about how weak the next generation is!

This is the real reason the GOP donors wanted a right wing reactionary court. They don't care about abortion at all. It's all about giving more power to big business to do whatever they want without regard for the health and safety of employees or the country.

Cheap labor for business is one of the main drivers of illegal immigration. If they punished the businesses for hiring illegal immigrants, I believe that illegal immigration would decline significantly.

The only player that compares is Babe Ruth and he didn't have his big pitching years at the same time as his big hitting years, nor did he have Ohtani's speed.

This is a great post.

What Ohtani has done the last two years is historic. It's difficult to compare the rest of the league with him.

It is not really an official designation and shouldn't be a big deal They just need to choose a team cap for the plaque and this is selected by Hall of Fame researchers. If you go to the Hall of Fame and read the plaque of your favorite player, you will likely not notice the cap because the face and words are way more prominent. This is probably by design as the HoF is intended to be an individual honor. As you go to visit the other rooms (which are more interesting than the plaque room) you would surely see him represented as both an Astro and a Tiger

Judge would win at this point. As far who SHOULD win, I think it's very close.

That's because it's a great cap.

Why is that? If he plays 8 years with the Astros with at least one World Series I can see him going in as an Astro. I don't care either way. I will still remember him as a Tiger.

I think AOC is smart but too idealistic. If she never learns to to play the game, then she likely won't get far in politics. If she does learn, I will probably like her less because politicians are full of shit which is one of the big reasons people ignore politics and don't vote.
