What's curious is why the Dems are not releasing any. Obviously the Blue side has not stopped polling. I know they figure fundraising to hold up better if there is a requisite amount of panic out there, but it still seems to me that at some point you can over do that - you need a little good news too if you have it.

Because Harbaugh knew he was bailing and that win or lose, JJ was his last shot to win at UM. In Jim's world there was no tomorrow in Ann Arbor after JJ, so no need to have another QB ready.

I will grant that if the same poll using the same methodology shows movement over time it's significant, but I'm a bit skeptical what we are seeing recently meets that standard.

I was glad to hear what Harris said about Torkelson needing to work on handling 'shapes' which I guess is 21st century GM argot for pitch recognition, as opposed to what Hinch usually said about Tork in earlier days, which was that he needed to 'hit good pitches.' If Harris has shifted the objective for Tork away from selectivity (which I think Tork was over doing) toward hitting what the pitcher throws in the zone, that is a direction where I think progress is possible.

we don't know if they are going to operate on an innings cap and if so how hard it will be. If they are willing to let him go to 150 they can pretty much start him regularly but cap his outings at 5 IP - maybe 75-80 pitches. Last off-season they had talked about limiting Skubal but in the end let him go over 200 IP so I doubt any plans made in April aren't going to be adjustable as the season progresses. OTOH they will/should/must(!) be more careful with Jobe than they were with Skubal, given the difference in their age/career workload.

Lack of appropriate inhibition can be funny in a comedy club, unfortunately in a Presidential candidate it's a symptom of the breakdown of supervisory intellectual capacity.

So left over question: when Edvinsson scored the empty netter, he apparently skated back to our net. For some reason Redmond thought something about that was really funny and he tried to get them to cue some video of it but they never got it and Mickey never explained himself. What was the joke?

half the season to play and the title of this thread already reads as parody.

Tuttle throws a huge 4th and 18 pickup, then throws a pick.

who had 7 losses on their pre-season prediction card?

I generally don't worry about shot differentials much. The Wings take fewer 'nuisance' shots on goal than many teams. That said, no doubt they were on their heels pretty badly for about a quarter of that game.

really thought this one was over after Nashville tied it. Early in the 3rd it looked like the Wings were skating in molasses, Preds beating them to every loose puck. But it looked like the Preds overextended themselves and by the 10 min mark Nashville was losing the initiative. Seider being a big physical presence on the ice=good. Seider in the box=bad. Something he needs to watch.

Gipson-Long is the one to watch, might have some upside there if the TJ went well.

The language needs to more precise than that offered. 'Manage their system' could be administrative and have no direct connection to scouting and development, or not.

Funny thing is that the mic went dead just as he was about the say the word 'Tariff'. Maybe an inside job on the part of his handlers to slow him down on the subject!

Guy writing this sounds like he doesn't think it's going to be much of a loss for the Jays. 🤔

Right. The system magnifies the differences. Reagan polled 50.7% and won 44 states. Even with no 3rd party votes, Bush I won 40 states with only a 53.7% majority

Yup. Harris has run pretty much a mistake free campaign, has hit all the marks, dotted all the i's, and the party supposedly has a ground game in place. The last candidate to do that was Obama in 2008.

lets not be naive, though they paid for the banner, Bally was never a presence. I'd have to guess there is little chance that will be true of FanDuel, who seem more likely to try to monetize every square inch of your screen and every line of dialog in the PBP.

I'm not sure if I just hit the right live feed but appears the Mics have gone dead on Trump in Det

There has to be a lot of contention about the value of the Tigers' rights. Diamond probably complaining the current rights fee is a money loser and team countering that going forward a winning team in Det will be a gold mine....

So Ilitch re-upped the Wings but not the Tigers. Gonna be a long lonely summer for the FanDuel channel with no baseball....

Certainly novel, but hard to prove since the counter arg is that reducing population increases per capita wealth for the remainder, which undercuts any argument to the detrimental side.

And that he’s gone in a week? 🤬 at least that offers some hope the general level of play may have some upside.
