Not a very entertaining game, but I can still thank the Tigers for a much less frustrating evening than watching the Wings would have been.

Keith needs a little work on the throws

McGonigle needed to have challenged the 1st one, which was a ball.

Reparations?

It is WAY, way worse than that.

Iran is now seeing how they can bring the entire world's economy to its knees.

They have threatened this before...

But now forced into this "opportunity" by Trump attacking them - with ZERO planning whatsoever, with NO game plan, NO end game plan - they get to see in real time just exactly what kind of trump card they hold over Drumpf and the world's head... It's four aces up their sleeve. Exposed for all the world to see.

And I'll bet that Donny two-year-old and his little temper tantrum can't even see it. 

I suppose in the long run, anything and everything that makes oil more expensive can only help jolt the US into a better, future success oriented energy policy, at least after the Idiot has left the scene. From that standpoint a Persian gulf that is open but expensive wouldn't be the worst thing, EXCEPT that whatever $$ go to the mullahs definitely is a worst thing.

Tork getting BaBIP'd already this season.

Drumpf has GIVEN Iran a "trump card" (so to speak...):

Iran has a new demand to end the war – and it could bring in billions

Brainless MF'er.

We have the most IGNORANT President in the history of ALL HUMANKIND.

The dumbest president EVER!!!

We've never SEEN such a dumb ****ing president.

Nothing but a MASSIVE LOSER!!!

Right Naziholic?

that's how they are going to get their reparations. If they are half way reasonable they'll get their way and make a nice bundle.

another little detail. McGonigle with no hesitation calling Keith off the pop-up. SS should take that ball but you often see a rook be a little deferential.

I think had Gleyber caught that throw, runner’s out.

he might have been in too far to make the tag, I didn't think the angle they had on the replay showed his depth very well, but if he was in the wrong place it still means if he was in the right place it's an out.

Tork been skipping the weight room or what?

Why is Rodgers even throwing that?  Dude had a huge jump and there was no shot at throwing him out. 

the throw was  there in time.  It went by Tatis when he was still 3 feet from the bag.

Defense again. 

that's about as bad a play as a major league 2b can make.

He evidently was tearing up the minor league portion of Spring training which helped lead them to starting him in AAA

it’s always a fine line. as long as he has a high enough percentage of successful ABs. It’s just harder for a guy to make progress if he’s making too many outs.

After watching M Clark last year and so far this year (ST and 1 AAA game)....I don't see the hype. I couldn't care less about the gold chain and his social media, but I see a lot of K's and weak ground balls.  What am I missing?

Still, not sure why they started him at AAA when he only had 41 games at AA and struggled there most of August before having a better Sept. That's SSS to prove he had mastered the level though.  Always easier to bring a guy up than have to send him back down.....

He's always had a very high GB rate though - something he's going to have to fix at some point.

What OS are you running on your NAS?

UNRaid. 

There are a bunch of candidate plugins for it but I figure I'll give it a few days to see if DSN lifts the blockade before I spend a lot of time on it. 

so far, DSN is on DirectTV, but only live. It is not allowing broadcasts to be provided via DirectTVs "DVR" library, i.e. you can mark a game to 'record' but if you try to play it back you get a message that its owner is not allowing streaming. First time I have ever seen that on anything at DTV. I used to have a spare computer I had set up as a physical DVR, unfortunately it is now my NAS. There is probably a way to get the NAS to make a recording but I'm a long way from figuring that out as I sit here. I know I could use something like OBS but I want something that can read the guide and schedule unattended.

When you think of guys who got good for a while and you didn’t expect it, names like Chris Shelton and Brennan Bosch come to mind. Their short-lived flashes of brilliance didn’t last. 

But Kevin has been on the radar from the start and has been expected to excel and overall we can reasonably expect him to rise to the occasion even though there will have to be a learning curve factored in here. 

I think we have good reason to believe we have more than a diamond in the rough on our hands here. 
 

 

It's two days, he may be playing on unsustainable adrenalin - in fact he is certainly playing on unsustainable adrenalin. So he's going to come down off the cloud, but right now he is high enough he can come down quite a way from the last two days and still be pretty good.

Sweet gas prices

and the other thing that Trump's real estate background has never taught him is that unlike property that just sits there waiting till a deal closes, the interconnected web of the world economy doesn't just start back up when the fighting stops. Oil fields, large industrial processes, supply chains all take time to start back up once damaged. Futures markets are already telling us that the expectation is that oll prices are not coming back down for months even if the fighting ends tomorrow.

I was just now looking at our 2026 schedule and every month of the season, except for August, has a streak of 13–14 games straight tucked in there. Sheesh.

I asked our robot overlords what it thought and it said that our schedule was “remarkably dense” with streaks of this magnitude compared to the past, and it blamed the necessity of scheduling at least one series against every team in MLB every year.

The now common adage “you can never have enough arms“ seems pertinent here. Even as a fan it seems grueling. And it will be made worse by rainouts requiring make up dates, etc. etc..

I had thought the "10 day in row" was something in the CBA but apparently it was never official.

If he has a weakness, the rest of MLB will find it.  But in the meantime, enjoy the ride.................

I don't know if Peralta was just trying to go away and cross him up after trying and failing to tie him up inside and left it too much over the plate, or if he was just giving in and throwing him a 'here it is hit it pitch',  but either way,  Peralta threw him exactly one decent pitch to hit in that AB,  and to McGonigle's credit, he didn't miss it.

1080P not kind to Daniella's make up job. She looks ceramic.
