    I just saw one that said drafting TeSlaa would cause the Lions to have to trade Laporta.

    The world is now full of ai generated clickbait crap like this.

    Again, I don’t believe it was a matter of not trusting Hooker. They had the opportunity to add Bridgewater and all his experience for the playoffs and took advantage of it. No brainer and no reflection on Hooker.
  4. Longgone
    I don’t think it was a matter of not trusting Hooker as much as it was having the opportunity to utilize the availability of Bridgewater and all his experience. It was a win/win, Hooker got to develop all year as backup, and you had Bridgewater available for the playoffs.

    Why is Hooker a miss? Seems like a solid backup for a 3rd rounder

    Holmes looks throughout the draft and if he has conviction on a olayers he goes and gets him. That’s what makes him successful, not playing games with value. He’s not going to hit on every player, that’s not reasonable.

    They didn’t “leave him alone”, they were in agreement with what he needed to work on, and he worked on it.
  8. Longgone
    Nowhere does that say he is not changing or working on anything, only that he wants to approach it more viscerally and not so analytically.
  9. Longgone
    He never said he wasn’t changing anything. He said it wasn’t his swing that was the problem, it was other things. Totally misinterpreted.
  10. Longgone
    He knew what he needed to work on, the Tigers knew, and he worked on it. This crap about him being resistant to change is just that.

    Serenity Now!

    ? He’s only 25 and he’s only had the one full year. Lots of players struggle for the first few years in mlb. They either make the necessary adjustments or they don’t, remains to be seen.

    Okay, if I have to, I’ll admit I actually believe you can feel shame, and we can be friends as long as you promise not to be irritating, ever again.
  14. Longgone
    I was more expressing my irritation at the gratuitousness of it, rather than an attempt to shame you, which I know is a fool’s errand.

    I’m talking more about taking a few random interview quotes and then building an elaborate fantasy universe filled with projected motivations and then acting as if pure assumptions are fact. I know, it’s the internet.
  16. Longgone
    This has gone beyond the absurd to the ridiculous

    Saying you don’t know **** is not the same as saying I know. I don’t, and I’m not willing to brand someone with baseless speculation.
  18. Longgone
    Where did I ever say that?
  19. Longgone
    The fact is, it’s just pointless speculation based on very little actual information. You don’t know how much, or to what degree he is utilizing resources, or really what are the actual issues that are holding him back. So any assumptions that he is uncooperative, or that the Tigers are displeased with anything regarding his efforts, other than production, are presumptuous.
  20. Longgone
    And you just carry on being judgmental and making broad assumptions out of random comments
  21. Longgone
    Is there a point to this, or will you just ramble on?
  22. Longgone
    I don’t think he’s a contrary example. I think you are building a world out of floss.
  23. Longgone
    You succeeded
  24. Longgone
    Way to stretch a point beyond recognition

    And maybe in his case that’s what he needs to do. It may be that’s exactly what the club wants him to do. Perhaps all the analysis, for him, got him too mechanical. Hitting is a visceral activity. Maybe for him, being more athletic and reacting to what he is seeing is what will untap his ability. Being judgmental and making broad assumptions from random quotes is presumptuous.
