  1. The 80s core stayed together for a long time. The problem was they didn't add to the core with complementary pieces after 1984. Their development just kind of stopped and Anderson was not a great manager for developing young players. He was good at managing egos but didn't have a lot of patience with young players.
  2. With the depth of their roster, there is not much reason to acquire a postion player unless he's a star. I think they will acquire pitching help especially relievers. I would never rule out acquiring a starter though. You can never ever have too much pitching.
  3. You don't think the president will follow the rules?
  4. I thought about that after posting! My post was just a flip remark about their on and off play lately.
  5. Probably tomorrow, but maybe not the next day.
  6. AI has its uses, but it sucks at sports.
  7. Not a good baseball name. Maybe hockey.
  8. Based on the numbers - DRS and statcast - he is better than last year, but still a little below average.
  9. I personally like the higher interest rates. It makes it easier for me to invest in bonds and not be so invested in the Wall Street casino.
  10. Flaherty throws a Porcello.
  11. He is undermining his contract value. I could see him declining the option and staying with the Tigers another year. I'd rather he help them this year and then leave.
  12. I'm in the dome today. It reached 101 in Massachusetts which is rare.
  13. I'm expecting some major gaslighting very soon where they try to convince us that Trump was right about everything he said.
  14. It's not a great seasion for AL outfielders. Top 3 outfielders by FanGraphs WAR: Judge 6.0 Buxton 3.1 Greene 2.6
  15. I don't care about the allstar game much anymore, but Torres and Greene both deserve to start. Baez is comeback player of the year but not an allstar starter. Buxton is probably #1 in CF.
  16. If healthy...I would not count on it. I'd like to see them get one more starter. If everyone stays healthy, that gives them another bullpen arm for the playoffs. I also want them to had a traditional reliever or two.
  17. Has he ever made a statement that was not awful?
  18. Perhaps, he learned his manipulation skills, by mimicking those who manipulated him.
  19. It's pretty much the same bullpen as last year as far as talent level goes, but relievers are volatile. There was no way this was going to work forever.
  20. Openers and pitching chaos make a manager look like a genius until the pitcher gets punched in the face. Hinch is a great manager, but I think think they need to target pitching help as the deadline approaches. They may need offense too, but I think they can make a more significant unpgrade with pitchers.
  21. When Jack Morris apologized to Shohei Ohtani, he called him Jose Ohtani, before correcting himself. I think that was an accident. However, I think you are right that this was no accident. He most likely said it for the racist base, although he will surely say later that it was an accident.
  22. I don't think it is based on anything evidence based like that, but rather how they think people will bet. I am really not sure how they do it, but the goal is not accuracy, but making money.
  23. I saw the thread title and I thought it was about baseball. I was thinking what are they doing to the game now! I am relieved that it's a football thread.
  24. Right, there have been some hard hit balls three last few games. It's not like it's all strikeouts.
