Shapiro will still be very visible. I hope they let Walz be Walz; will be some errors, but the media are going to love writing vapid stories about his everyday man stuff. SHould be great two months. I doubt it, but progressives should be happy and actually on board. Of course, they will sit this one out yet again.

most media won't cover this because it is not "new" in that we all know DonOLD's position on any issue can easily be bought

Trump's flip flop on Crypto did not hurt him Trump's flip flop on TikTok did not hurt him Trump's flip flop on no issue hurts him Trump's flip flop on EVs will not hurt him MAGA and Trump stand for nothing but anger and hate and division - at anything, at something, at nothing

FWIW Leonard also hit like crazy last year at Toledo when he came from LAD

LOL; with Detroit Lottery Luck, there's a chance the Tigers pick 12th

because Oak and CWS cannot pick in top 9, Tigers are actually 6th worst right now; won't "catch" Miami or Colo, but could finish with 3rd worst record as pitching crumbles; and that's a few more percentage points to land in top 6; what a horrible franchise

100% of people who actually care about women should be treated will not be voting for the adjudicated rapist.

this cannot just be incompetence at this point. something more than that here. "Harris must respond to Trump racist attacks" is just bonkers. WTF is going on. It's like 2016 never happened.

has not pitched in 2 weeks due to lat strain; assume he will be back when healthy

has he made substantive changes? or is he just a talented guy feasting on AAA pitching who still would have same ML issues? if they limit him to 34 days more service time (So ~Sept 1 call up), they control him for 5 more seasons, not 4 that always helps, but not sure Tork is really a guy they need to worry about service time with

they got about 3.5 legit ML batters right now; this is going to be an awful 2-month finish; the ML product is going in reverse; from 2nd place to 4th and from 78 wins to about 72.

MAGA morons are so confused do they now want this woman - who was born female, raised as girl, has always identified as a woman - to transition to male? do they even know what a woman is?

will never understand MAGA morons fascination with trans people, who makes up about .0001% of the world's population, and are one of the most vulnerable out groups that there is this woman is not trans but because bigots don't think she fits into their definition of what a woman should be, suddenly she's trans and it attacked by them. this is a threat to all women, because if a woman does not fit into the MAGA morons' definition of what a woman should be - be appearance, or dress, or occupation, or child-bearing decisions, or personality, or demeanor - then it OK to attack her as "trans" so stupid, so dangerous

someone named Sean Guenther also is now a Detroit Tiger

hard to follow but sounds like Hinch is an idiot (and a loser) because he does not have non-existent all-stars hitting behind Madris even though all know he is too good a hitter to not be protected, and Hinch and Harris are actually hoping one of their players fails; is that correct? That's an Ignore.

they probably should have just stood pat last winter and sold at the trade deadline; instead they spent the owner's hard earned money, and now they are playing relevant baseball through September; also, some of their free agent signing did not work out; would have been better to evaluate the situation for another season or two (or three)

Bobby Witt had a 1.353 OPS for July; looking at a 12 WAR season maybe; someone tell him it is August

as mentioned, no team avoids injuries, and Harris is on notice that many of the core players have hit IL multiple times, and that regression is not only possible but probably will hit some players. they need to add 2 bats minimum (Canha-level or above) if not 3: someone who play 1b; a left side IF, and a RH OF with power. Harris cannot hide behind "evaluation" BS any more.

seems as though they have 2 guys who maybe can't play 3rd, but both can be acceptable at 2nd

SS help is probably not come through free agency. Kim or Adames would cost 20-25M per year, and that's about $50M for the position when you include Baez, probably about half the 2025 payroll. So Harris is going to slow roll it with Sweeney + Baez, or else he needs to make a trade.

quick winter shopping list: C: #3 catcher 1: need a multi-positional guy who can slide to first (not Canha but like him) if Tork flops again 2: covered for now SS: need short and medium term options as Baez/McKinstry/Kreidler are bad; Sweeney seems stretched at SS 3: have so many blah internal options, Harris will again ignore external options OF: need another CF option if Veirling at 3rd; need RH power Need 2 starters and 2 BP arms
