1973 John Hiller...65 games..finished 60. 10-5 record..38 saves..125 ip 1.44 era. I think you got a savecthen if you finished the game regardless of the score

Bednar could still get loaned to Toledo...I guess. I think Augustine would stay at MSU...but who knows what might happen in camp

Bednar just signed an AHL deal with Grand Rapids

I think AJ begging off on the question before the game (haven't discussed that this morning...trying to win the game) is an indication that they were sending him down after the game

Baez has a very good glove at SS and he is hitting well with RISP. He frustrates the hell out of me when he swings at pitches not even close to the strike zone...but he contributes. Tork isn't a great or even good defender and he struggles to hit middle/middle fb in the low 90's. Heard Dickerson say that he gets caught in the rocking chair....changing speeds and levels seems to completely screw him up. Don't know how you fix that..but running him out there every day isn't working

Javy with the swinging K on a pitch he would have missed if he was swinging a phone pole

Lucky to escape that inning only allowing 1...

A little surprised they passed on Bednar...he had a decent year at Toledo.

My neice was a softball player in HS..she had a spinal stress fx and wound up quitting the sport because swinging a bat put too much stress on it. Of course...she was a wee little thing..but still

F that guy

A bad outing? Take him out back and shoot him

Other than the McCloskey/Daly years...the Pistons org has always been dysfunctional. Going back to the early 70's. A lot of turmoil, infighting and incompetence

Skenes is...as they used to say...throwing seeds

Keider Montero will apparently be up tomorrow

Jace Jung and Jackson Jobe debut in August and/or September...they become known as "The J Boys" by virtually no one

154 game...but yeah

By some I mean some talking head or heads who watched him at the combine and think he's the key to signing dad. Can't even remember who these people were

Bronny James hype train is leaving the station. Some are calling him a high lottery pick now

Dan Campbell woulda run for Tork.

Died today at 71 from cancer... Those late 70's Blazers were one of may favorite teams and Walton was their leader. Great passer and rebounder...underrated as a shooter.

How much of that is how the games are called by the refs? In hockey...they let more go in the playoffs than they do the regular season. That tends to hamper teams that play a more finesse style of hockey Don't watch enough of the NBA playoffs these days to really judge that

Franke and the Knockouts...vastly underrated 80's band. Roberto Campos may be getting the hang of this whole baseball thing...seems like he's been around forever, but he's a 20 year old in A+ with an .800+ OPS

Can Duren defend anywhere? I wanted them to draft him...I was excited when they did. But his lack of progress at both ends of the floor this season is troubling

Gibson has Parkinson's... yes...it can take him a minute to articulate his thoughts, but I appreciate his input and think he and Benetti work well together

Broadly speaking...really talented players excel...less talented players don't excel as consistently.
