My question is: Is that a generational thing or an age thing? The boomers weren't a particularly reponsible bunch when they were younger either ! Young people are unsettled and irresponsible and then they grow up and complain that young people suck!

I caught the 84Lives fever.

Yeah, I don't think they'll finish .500, but they should do better than last year.
-
The Tigers had everything go wrong last year and still won 66 games, so I don't think they'll lose 60
-
All the prospects are going to break out.

What makes Justyn-Henry Malloy a Worthy Asset?
Tiger337 replied to Useful Idiot's topic in Detroit Tigers
It would bother me. The Tigers need to get away from that player profile- no walks and no plus skills. Try something else. -
It reminds me of Jack Morris talking about Ohtani with a bad Chinese accent, except I don't think that was premeditated, just stupid. His apology the next inning was even dumber, comically so. "I apologize to Jose Ohtani." LOL

Kim is interesting. Maybe take a flyer on Grisham if he comes cheap.

While am skeptical of the Tigers prospects, I do think amateuir scouting has advanced a lot since the Smith era, thus increasing the chances that a weak organization can draft the right guys based on consensus.

They had a sign at the register saying they would be able to lower prices if customers paid by cash and another sign saying cash onlyh The store has been in operation since I was a kid, although the ownership has changed a few times. I have seen some cash only stores in small town NH, not in Massachusetts before.

The worst may be yet to come...Although I would bet that the full 2023 will be a lot better than 2022.

Interestingly, about an hour after I posted this, I went to my favorite local market to pick up some milk and eggs and they have a new cash only policy. They also have stopped selling lottery tickets (a great move as far as I am concerned!). I am not sure if that is related.

For the time being, I have chosen to have faith that Harris has a plan and will be better than Avila. You are right though that Avila would be laughed at for what Harris has done so far this off-season.

That's the thing. I don't think the really big businesses will. The banks and big business will win. The rest of us will lose.

I do almost everything on a credit card now. A lot of clerks now get visibly pissed off when I pay by cash now because they don't have enough bills, change in their machine. I just figured I was an old man who wasn't informed that cash is now frowned upon.
-
Maybe, I just expect big corporations (whether it be the credit card company or Amazon) to find a way to screw me either way. Smaller companies are different. I am happy to get the rewards because if I don't, I suspect Amazon will find a way to to charge me more anyway. Maybe, I am just too cynical.
-
It's probably a scam for those who don't pay in full every month. However, I pay in full every month, pay 0% interest and I get rewards. Losing the rewards wouldn't destroy me, but it would hurt a little.

Great, Another bill to help mega-corporations and nobody else.
-
Well, he paid none here, so it couldn't be less in other countries.

Getting back to investing...I had two CDs mature yesterday, so I was eager to invest the money at great new rates and there is hardly anything available. I talked to a TIAA rep and he told me inventory is very low due to the hoilday. So, I'll try again next week. Patience.

I bet that makes you popular with the chicks.

It's always good to look at the components. However, my interest is in knowing whether the statcast numbers tell us more about run prevention than just looking at BB%, HR% and K%. Maybe we could do a regression where runs allowed = all the individual stats and see if there is a combination that tells us significantly more about run prevention than BB%, HR% and K%.

In the social sciences, we get excited if the correlation is .15. 🙂
