Makes sense where the Wings are in their developmnet cycle. The shuttle between GR and Det can only get busier as more of Yzerman's picks make their way through the pipeline coupled to the fact they there is plenty of pressure to reach the playoffs next season so the value of having call-ups hit the ice running is at a maximum.

If they start after 6:30 they won't have to stop. That's a reeealy long delay but if they haven't called it yet what's another hour?

Nice. Basia reminds me of Flora Purim and the smooth jazz days

style reminds me of an old Tears for Fears video.

I'm afraid that one is not going in the books.

There was a lot of buzz about Workman when they drafted him but the 40% K rate dampened the enthusiasm pretty quickly. If he has found a way to fix that the power part of the hitting tool was supposedly there.

I guess the plan is to wait for the second front to clear. LOL - the Weather Underground future radar says that should be about 6p!!

SSS but so far Jeimer's OPS as LHB is 200 pts better that last season. If he keep that up he will have a better season than last.

if they play it in 2:30 there may be enough window between the little cell there now and the bigger cell to the S-West but if they delay the start much probably no hope.

The 'future' radar show a pretty narrow band - could come and go quickly if that's accurate.

Neither one has 500 MLB ABs yet. Check in again when it gets closer to 1000.

The one thing that kind of bothers me in the reportage about this is the seeming assumption that it's allowing lower ranked people access that makes the system insecure. I would say BS. There is no reason I know of to assume a guy that achieves rank is a priori any more loyal a citizen or less corruptalbe than a good grunt. I would think the real issues are document distribution control/management as well as management and oversight of handlers of classified material at all levels, exacerbated by having too much stuff classified in the 1st place.

Del Pozo and Diaz both give up a pair of runs tonight. Madden taken out after 1 IP with 36 pitches and only 18 strikes. he gave up one run on one hit and 3 BB spread between 3Ks. There's your good news bad news outing.

Tigers have won a series.

chalk one up for the old dude.

time not to waste it.

He's still been on base twice today. That's a 400 OBP.

It's still quite the contrast from last year when the chatter on the Tiger IF was mostly in Spanish. Of course Javy didn't have a great year last year either! But just following on Dtrains comment that he looked more like a happy camper on his National Team.

ironic since today Russia is all Oligarchy and facism. It just goes to show that the fascination for the USSR among Western Leftists was never about the Proletariat and always about the Dictatorship.

As a general philosophy, I'm not a fan of ever leaving a bat that has mastered AAA there. I don't want a guy getting comfortable with his hitting success - I want him to face MLB pitching as soon as he's mastered AAA so he doesn't have a chance to develop any habits or complacency he's going to have to work to break. In Malloy's case there is some extenuating circumstance because you are hoping his D can improve.

Holton got off to a rocky start giving up 2 HR in each of his 1st two appearances. His last two outings were better. He K'd a bunch of guys in ST but also gave up a lot of hits.... Hill is a disappointment so far. Was hoping for a little more there.

To me this is the mystery. I've lived long enough to know that nothing happens in this world without money behind it. As sure as the Sun rises in the East there is money flowing to Putin's US apologists, and someday, probably after a 50 yr US inteligence archive embargo is lifted or people start making death bed confessions, we are finally going to find out how that money was moving - because no-one seems to be working the case for the public today.

Kelley has a book out and has been doing promo radio interviews, this story always comes up. Pompeo comes across as arogant, petulant and boarish so she's probably telling the story accurately.

In an odd twist of circumstance given the overall composition of the MLB, the Tigers have an almost completely anglo position roster right now. The only native Spanish speaker other than Javy among the hitters is Cabrera and he's always kind of in his own world. So maybe it's just not a very social clubhouse for him. He's a Pro, it shouldn't make a difference, but people are still people and you know it can.
