  1. I believe the first lottery will be six teams in 2023.
  2. Szymborski is right. It's not a playoff team. It never really was. This is a development year. Unfortunately, most of the key pieces - Greene, Mize, Manning - have been hurt. Another big piece - Torkelson - is off to a slow start. How well those players do the rest of the season will determine what the off-season and 2023 look like.
  3. And they are doing it without the genius AJ Hinch! They are on pace to win 100 games with some old recycled manager.
  4. I never understood what was so great about Netflix. They aren't coming back. You look at Apple, Google and Amazon and you see them dominating everything but Netflix?
  5. Braden thinks that Soto sucks, so maybe he knows something.
  6. Sure, Bad hitting beats bad pitching all the time!
  7. I think I would be more concerned if he was swinging at balls in the dirt. Those guys seem to never get going. He can probably hit AAA breakng balls. He needs to learn to hit them in the majors. But I have no scouting credibility at all, so don't listen to me. 😄
  8. I haven't watched all the games, but when I have seen him he looks like he's close. There are lots of swings and misses, but he is not swinging at many bad pitches. I think he'll get going.
  9. I am watching the Oakland Athletics broadcast. Their color man (Dallas Braden?) says that Torkelson does not look over matched and that the Tigers should keep running him out there until he figures it out. I have no idea how much Braden can be trusted, but it was interesting to hear the opinion of an opposing former player.
  10. Mike Trout batted .220/.281/.390 in his first season.
  11. Yeah, I am not worried about him. He was kind of rushed, so it's not surprising that he is struggling. Plus, he tends to have an adjustment period at each level.
  12. The problem with Jerk Sox is that it could refer to either of the Sox teams.
  13. It seems unnecessary given the size of the pitching staffs today, but it happens so infrequenly that it doesn't bother me. If there is one game where Harold Castro has to pitch in a 14-0 blow out, it doesn't hurt anything. I think it's entertaining and it's something that has happened throughout the history of the game.
  14. It's Gran Rapids
  15. I call it Wistah
  16. Anthony Rendon batted left-handed for the first time in his career when the Rays brought in a position player (Brett Phillips) to pitch. Rendon homered. Sounds like it was an entertaining game!
  17. Another old friend did something unusual - a diving catch for Nick Castellanos.
  18. My mom has gone through every stage of dementia. My dad has gone through the natural cognitive decline of an elderly person. Biden is a lot more like my dad than my mom. That being said, I think he's old for a president as was Trump. I'd like to see younger leaders in a position which involves a lot of stamina.
  19. It is surprising than a MAGA can see an ailment in Biden, but can't see that their cult leader is suffering from so many mental health problems that he can't stay coherent for more than 30 seconds.
  20. The AJ Hinch May Express has left the station!
  21. Three-game hitting streak for Schoop.
  22. Nothing is impossible! Let's have a 64-candidate field starting in the summer and do brackets through November. Americans love playoffs and brackets. Must see TV.
  23. Did he throw the ball up on the roof over and over and catch it as it fell off? Did he get yelled at when he practiced line drives and grounders by throwing the ball hard against the garage? How many times did he climb a ladder to retrieve balls stuck in the gutter?
  24. Interesting article, but I still think offense will increase soon. If it doesn't they'll juice the ball up again.
