is there any path for the GOP without Ohio? In the sense that if they can't hold Ohio, MI, MN, WI are all also certainly lost.

I suppose if Vierling is feeling better they could always bring up Tork. I have mixed feeling about that. Just from watching his ABs, I think he is moving to a more aggressive approach - and then some days he seems to alternate and can take a walk when he wants to - I'd just like to see him have a little more consistent results before calling him back. The flip side would be he's at a point where he needs to test what he is doing against MLB pitching. So IDK...flip a coin.

they may be waiting to pair an IL listing with a call-up (which also means getting a guy to SF), but as of a few minutes ago when I checked no word yet. Akil may yet get one more chance not to fail this season.

Vierling DTD. I don't see that they have IL'd Perez.......yet.

If they do a good job at the Convention, they'll pick up a couple more. My picks for speakers list : Shapiro, Obama, Whitmer, Walz, Probably Cyburn. maybe Newson (to talk about Harris CA experience), Klobuchar to talk about Walz. Have Biden do a video address one day and show up live for a walk on later in the week. They'll get flack for Biden on video - but more important he give a good speech than risk a down day for a live one.

Well, a city councilman isn't important enough to be riding with Trump, is he?

Wenceel Also. Of course that will happen when 4 of your last 5 series were against 3 of the top 9 ERA teams.

IIRC, he was still with the club in Florida for at least a 1st season after he stopped being team trainer but I don't know if he's moved on since then.

Miller is useless but run frequency for bases loaded no out is about 90% and Miller did retire both men he faced. Last night was Foley's breakdown and Keith's boot. If you are going to blame Hinch, it would be for leaving Kenta in too long making the 2nd run inevitable - but how do you do that when Foley did not perform anyway. We have 5 guys in the pen now that are pretty much unreliable - Vest, Maeda, Miller, Wentz, and Foley. Unfortunately that's just too many for a manager to be able to work around.

To me, the rash of hamstring injuries argues does't reflect well on the training staff. It's the number one baseball injury you have to design training to avoid.

technically true, though Colt is easily over 100 since May 1.

Well at least Miller didn't waste a lot of time getting to the inevitable.

What was Ramos doing? He was forced but he was playing like half-way! We'll take it.

Regression of Foley has been a major disappointment.

LOL - Miller with the bases loaded.

Tigers get to a situation like this and the BP is so thin and the lineup so short there is just no optimism.

2b is 2/3 toward 1B and the SS has to stay on the left side. That what the league wants.

wasn't it completely pointless to bring Kenta out for a another inning?

first ball the Ramos had been a strike against half a dozen Tigers. Well, here were go - two bleeders - can he get out of it? EDIT: gave up one.

yeah - Andy didn't have a prayer - 4 inches outside - strike, 4 inches inside - strike.

It wouldn't be such a big deal if he had just misremembered an event 30 yrs ago - it was the certainty that he was right and the threats to sue the Times that mark the situation. Forgetting is not half the indicator that stubbornness about refusing to admit that you may have forgotten is.

at least the 2nd he's missed by than a full ball's width. Challenge can't come soon enough. And scoring is going to go way up. Probably what they are worried about.

Don't tell that to the Dolphins...😉 But correct - it's a whole different system. And for that matter, not only have the contractual issues changed but the importance of the position has done nothing but increase, so today you not only need to have good backup QB to keep hope alive if your #1 went down, you'd probably need an elite one since more often than not, a good team today revolves around not just good QB play, but elite QB play.
