  1. might be Nido's last game before going back to Toledo
  2. how does Hicklen (a few days) out earn Kreidler (a few weeks)? is Nido's salary that high because he is a 5 year vet, or did he get some ML roster bonus?
  3. with GS desperate to keep series going for a small chance that Curry returns, Butler took 9 and 11 shots in the last 2 games.
  4. they are 1 win ahead of CWS which seems impossible. right after Elias fires Hyde, he should launch and investigation to see who the heck signed FOUR free agent pitchers over 35, and brought back Gregory Soto! maybe he is too busy shining the plaques from Baseball America
  5. this woman dared tell Elon Musk no, so Trump canned her https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-fires-director-of-u-s-copyright-office-shira-perlmutter-sources/
  6. Bregman is going to opt out and go into free agency again, this time with no draft pick attached, and possibly with a monster platform season. He is currently on track for 8 WAR. So far, it looks like he made right call to go to Boston.
  7. sorry to be that guy, but MAGA thinks (perhaps correctly) that you described their winning formula
  8. Boom. Boss man surrenders to China, markets soar! Stocks Soar as Trump Blows Up His Trademark Tariff Policy
  9. he's a switch hitter that play 3 up the middle positions, so not crazy to think he could have some up and down ML career. but probably needs to leave the organization, as he won't pass the players above him, and is about to get run over from below
  10. boom. Bossman turns to social media to negotiate his self-surrender to China, getting nothing in return.
  11. horrible value. Brad Holmes should have traded down, could have added 2 future Cardinals, a few Bishops or maybe even a monsignor. good culture fit but huge overpay. Mel Kiper's grade for Leo pick: C-
  12. Hicklen had 3,000 minor league plate appearances before his first hit!
  13. you can trace all that back to the challenge at 1b
  14. don't NEED home runs but no objections to home runs
  15. goodness, Javy's such a good player. no one thought he would be this impactful
  16. Biden's gonna pay a big price for Trump's insensitivity towards Joe Sixpack
  17. sportswriters are desperate for the Tigers to draft Jack Bauer at 24 https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/mlb-pipeline-2025-mock-draft-may-6?t=mlb-draft-coverage 24. Tigers: Slater de Brun, OF, Summit HS, Bend, Ore. (No. 25) As a smaller, lefty-hitting sparkplug from the Pacific Northwest, de Brun has a lot of similarities to Corbin Carroll at the same stage of their careers.
  18. I have no issue if they leave McGonigle at SS for now, but seeing Rainer play, I think it is clear he is SS of the future (and maybe a better prospect than Max soon)
  19. all 5 teams won last night, Vierling DH at Tol, 1/2, HR, K, 2 BB last year's 11th round pick, 6-7 LHR Micah Ashman from baseball powerhouse the University of Utah, is having a nice year at WMI (SSS)
  20. Passan spitballing 10/400+ for Skubal https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45006796/mlb-2025-contracts-passan-predicts-megadeals-600-million-henderson-de-la-cruz-tucker-skenes-skubal
  21. I believe that's Cernownyk's 1st at bats in 20 months. drafted in 23, played 2 games, hurt knee, hurt elbow in 24. was a guy identified early on by Lynn Henning as a borderline HOF player.
  22. https://www.theringer.com/2025/05/02/nba/detroit-pistons-nba-trade-rumors-playoffs-2025 Can Gores Resist a Summer of Temptation?
  23. Brad's not perfect, but his vision of what to build and how to built that, clearly works, so he gets the benefit of the doubt. Also, the draft ITSELF is a data point, so if Bradyn Swinson, DE, LSU is ranked pre-draft as a 3rd round talent and no team drafts him in the 1st 5 rounds, then your pre-draft ranking looks incorrect. NE got him in the 6th, which might be great value or exactly where he should have been picked.
