I agree with most of the premise, but man, Maher's delivery and writing is so subpar.

Great list. I should have been more specific....pitchers drafted and developed by Detroit. Thompson, Robertson and then Skubal. And Skubal moving on up!

Robertson was not drafted by Detroit. Acquired in a trade for Mark Redman, and had already pitched for the Marlins before the trade. Similar to Boyd in that regard.

Is Skubal our best LH starting pitcher since Mickey Lolich?

I was curious so went over to Fangraphs and got LHP fWAR for Tigers since 1975.

• Frank Tanana 18.1
• Justin Thompson 11.2
• Matthew Boyd 10.5
• Nate Robertson 9.2
• Tarik Skubal 7.7
• David Wells 7.5
• Mike Maroth 6.9
• David Price 6.4
• Daniel Norris 6.0
• Willie Hernandez 5.7

I hereby nominate that far left nuts like the bridge closers are in Aisle Lunatic too.

Fun fact: Casey Mize, our 1/1 pick from six (!) years ago and from whom we have been waiting for something anything ever since, is going to be 27 years old next month. He is also going to arbitration next season.

He was arb eligible this year, and might not go next year if we pick his option up.

I mean, he's screenshotting the current results. Not sure what that has to do with a Filipowski tweet. Pennsylvania had a primary and a candidate who dropped out 6 weeks ago is getting a sizeable chunk of votes. I'm not buying a bunch of Democrats in Pennsylvania switched parties to vote for Haley. Mail in ballots did not go out in Pennsylvania until the end of March after Haley dropped out. 

Confirmed. (I can't believe I'm wasting time on this, haha)

Pennsylvania doesn't have early in person voting but you can turn in a mail in ballot early. I'm going to guess not a lot of people turned in ballots over 6 weeks ago when Haley was still in the race if mail in ballots were even available yet. Pennsylvania is a closed primary so these are registered Republicans. Even independents cannot vote in a primary. This is not a good result for Trump. 

I registered as a republican just for the primary so I could vote by mail early. I'm currently scouring the August candidate pool to see which party I should join for that primary. It looooks like Dem because the only closed primary that has any kind of race appears to be US Senate. The moment the mail ballot came in, I voted for Haley and sent it right back. She dropped out a couple weeks later. I'd be curious the mail-in ballot statistics, but I'm not really going to spend time on a Flipowski tweet. He's blocked for a reason.

When did early voting open up?

... and the corresponding move was to rescue Pedro Garcia and reassign him to extended spring.

Apologies to @RandyMarsh for the picture that would be censored. Still doesn't show up in Pocketcasts...

I love playing the "guess the headshot" game on BR.

I suppose if he can't get himself lined out you start with the phantom injury charade we went through with Dontrelle Willis. Send him to the DL 10 days with arm strain, have him throw some bullpens to work on whatever, send him to Toledo for 3-4 "rehab"  starts and hope he has it right, if not rinse, repeat with a couple of big league losses tossed in on each iteration.

Billy Eppeler's suspension was a shot across the bow to keep teams from the phantom IL move.

bWAR agrees with fWAR and there is separation. 

Career fWAR says Cobb, Kaline, Gehringer

FWIW, I do think thin skin on social media can be a bit of a warning sign.

Part of me really would like to see Tik Tok get banned in the U.S.,  at least for a little while - just to see all the cellphone junkies lose their minds.     

It's a scourge.

Is there a vote tally out there? I'm curious where my rep voted.

Edit, I see from his twitter he voted in favor, but used it to trash Biden's border policy, which is odd considering how that went down last month.

You and me both, pal.

By the way, I think this is the one Trump related case I think I could be fair and impartial on. This whole story is absurd, I don't really have strong opinions, and my history of officiating shows I can turn on the fair and objective side of my brain.
