Freddy Pacheco is a great name to work in their Toledo underground network. He also has nice k rates. He has tightness in his elbow though. All around, he should fit in well!

Oh, I didn't see the "not" in your post. LOL I thught you were talking about hitters. I guess a similar thing can be said abut pitcher BB/K rates except it would be a negative rather than a positive.

I think that K and BB rates do have some relevance in Spring training. First, K rate and BB rate normalize pretty quickly. Also, BB rate can be about approach rather than ability. It seems like something that players can work on without a change in physical ability. I don't think one player can dramatically change his BB rate, but a bunch of players can combine to achieve a team level increase.

Thanks. I was wondering why those four players were optioned at the same time.

That too. He seems like more of a finished product.

I expected Meadows to be optioned. I couldn't see them rushing him to the majors after one good but unspectacular year in AA. He will get more regular at bats in AAA. I thought Lipcius had a chance only because his future seems to be more utilityman than regular.

I am glad I am not the only one who is disinterested in the WBC.

That's another thing that a lot of people do not understand. When a woman has a later term abortion, it is usually a child that the woman wanted to have and having to abort it is devastating.

That jumped out at me as well. Six incidences of cancer instead of two doesn't strike me as significant.

Kervin's kurve wasn't working today.

I don't care much for the Lincoln Project, but I think this is 100% accurate. The only thing I would add is that it was planned in 2016, not 2020. He was ready to do the same thing back then if he had lost.

The sabers have taken over the WBC! Those bastards ruin everything.

Every poll I have seen has him destroying the field.

I'd rather they keep Schoop. He is a better defender, two years younger and had a good offensive season more recently than Hernandez. I'd just hate to see them keep both.

Are Schoop and Hernandez both going to make the team?

one of his Kerouac's wives visited my house once. She was the friend of a friend of my father. Unfortunately, I was too young to care.

Yes, because of Covid and opioid addiction.

You pick a player and support him all year no matter what. Actually, hardly anybody remembers to support their player. It's just an activity which breaks the Spring training monotony.

Sure, they'll live to 85 or 90 and they'll spend the last 10 years on expensive medication and long-term care. They won't be sble to afford it. Who's going to pay for that?

ChatGTP describing a fight between Biden and Trump in the voice of Kerouac: If I were to describe a fight between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the voice of Jack Kerouac, it might go something like this: There they were, man, two old cats, faces twisted in anger, ready to tear each other to shreds. Trump, he was all bluster and bravado, like he was trying to prove something, you know? Biden, he was more reserved, like he was just waiting for the right moment to strike. The crowd was going wild, man. They were shouting and hollering, like they were at some kind of gladiator match. But I could see it in their eyes, man, that they were hungry for blood. And then it happened. Trump made a move, and Biden was on him like a tiger. They were grappling and punching, man, throwing wild haymakers and trying to take each other down. It was brutal, man, like something out of a movie. They were both bleeding and bruised, but they just kept coming, like they were fueled by some kind of primal energy. And then, just as suddenly as it had started, it was over. They were both lying on the ground, panting and gasping for breath. The crowd was silent, like they couldn't believe what they had just seen. I don't know who won, man. I don't think anyone did. All I know is that it was a dark moment, a moment when the violence and anger that simmered just below the surface of our society boiled over into something truly ugly. And I hope to God we never have to see anything like it again.

I asked ChatGTP to explain why Parker Meadows should start for the Tigers in the style of John Steinbeck: Regenerate response Regenerate response

I agree the early 90s Tigers were a fun team. If they have to be mediocre, I'll take that form of mediocre.

The Tigers are second in OPS and 21st in ERA this Spring. Imagine if their hitters come through and their pitching fails. Spring stats mean almost nothing, but it could happen!

Justyn Henry Malloy I am not calling him JHen.

I have blocked a lot of MAGAs including Musk and MTG, but others keep re-tweeting them. I also muted all the people that have been saying for 7 years that Trump is in trouble, going to be indicted, going to jail. It used to give me hope, but it now just depresses me because I know it will never happen.
