So..I sense another 'Mission Accomplished' banner being raised on a day that there's an insignificant objective achieved - all so that the manbaby can say he won

Someone want to tell L'il Marco what regime change means?

Until they gut the Voting Rights Act

$11M of the $13M is apparently deferred and being paid out after 2030

How do Tucker's August RBI's compare vs. Higginson's? (referencing an ancient discussion from around these parts)

I had posted this in the 'Media Meltdown and bias' thread, rather than the Trump thread to illustrate that with all the media hits and pieces about how the current administration is making things 'safer', it doesn't seem to match the opinion of a large portion of the American population

I believe the term is... snowflake

44. Josue Briceno, C, Detroit Tigers Age: 21 | Bats: Left | Throws: Right Type: Potential middle-of-the-order hitter you hope can also catch Briceno's big breakout came in the 2024 Arizona Fall League, when he won MVP and almost posted a 1.400 OPS, helping him to a 127th ranking last winter. He followed up that outburst with a strong 2025, hitting 15 homers in 55 games in High-A with an OPS over 1.000, then hitting five in 45 games at Double-A while still 20 years old. There's no doubt now that Briceno's offensive chops are top tier: he's above average at most contact and approach measures with at least plus raw power along with plus in-game power indicators such as swing plane, barrel rate, pull/lift rates, etc. The question is if he's going to play most of his big league games at catcher or first base. His arm is good enough for a catcher, but his framing and blocking are both below average at the moment. This becomes a problem when the Tigers have to choose, if his bat is ready as soon as the end of the 2026 season, if they want to leave him in the minors to work on his defense or pull the rip cord and have a first baseman and emergency catcher hitting in the middle of their order.
