Can’t agree. Newspapers are still the source of way more than their media market share of primary news reporting that we get and they still pay the salaries of the people looking for new stories. The video news world is limited by being mostly reactive. Op-Ed pages may be another matter 🙄, but even there, writers like Linda Greenhouse, who has written in depth on SCOTUS for years, is always worth the read.

Now,TBH, I've been a Times reader for years, and the Editorial Board editorials trend mostly to the trite, insipid, and to generally pointlessly pointing out the obvious. The value on the NYT OpEd page has always been the columnists. And that isn't unusual at any newspaper. The difference here is that they are opining on something important, whereas the Ed Board pieces are often esoteric or parochial (NYC stuff).

True, it doesn't matter how you pitch when you are shut out, and the Tigers hitters *were* shut out tonight. The Angels gave them the runs on the board with the Det name on them.

yeah - was never that impressed with Bertuzzi's wheels. Despite that he had a knack for being in the right place at the right time on both offense and defense early in his career. Was seeing less of that by the time they moved him.

just can't use Miller in a close game. Can't do it. Not prudent.

Perez should have called Ibanez off but being an inexperienced OF I'm going to guess he was never sure whether he could get it.

Vest with a nice finish of that inning for Maeda. Maeda only ends up giving up 2. But the way the 1st two hitters in the 6th teed off on him he probably would have given up more runs by the time Hinch got around to taking him out.

Well, Ward made the decision for Hinch. that was pretty strange to see. Looked like Kenta started going to 1st then couldn't catch his breath for a second.

Probably time for Hinch to go get Kenta.

The Times are in the typical ideologue trap of preferring to lose than to admit they are wrong about anything.

Parker with another good game tonight - 2/3 BB. Got the last hit turning around a 101 mph pitch with a 108 EV. Torkelson --- 1/4, 3K and back to taking middle middle pitches for called strike ones the last two games. I just realized he's starting to give me a Brennan Boesch vibe.

It would have nice if he were a center, but they weren't picking 1st....

Ibanez with a hit against a hard throwing RHP. Than can't happen, can it?

I've seen Marquez call a tight zone more than once, I don't think it should be anything unexpected for the pitchers.

Angels are pretty bad.

Mixed emotions when the Tigers tie the game but fail to get more than one hit in an inning with 4 walks.

Ump really squeezed Plesac on the 2nd walk, but we'll take it.

a RUN! (What's that again?...)

he'll do just enough to tease that he might be more successful...

just don't know if I can take it anymore...

I'm on board with SY's process. He wants a McDavid as much as anyone, but when he doesn't have the opportunity to get one, taking 2 way players that will it at least make it hard for the other teams' stars to play against you moves you in the right direction.

The only thing that Trump needs to serve is his time.

over /under on 6' 4"?

he was still always shifty.....🦃

just took a while - five of the last six..
