My league currently in a lightning delay. Of the 20 or so people that have early games, 8 of them are at a table at the outside bar, 11 are hanging out under palm trees to stay dry. I am alone at the inside bar browsing MTF.

Poor poor @chasfh didn't get to see a Tigers pitcher shove today.

For all the crapping on the local media here and how unneeded the beat guys are, nobody seems to be aware of the bullpen game (or what might just be a Melton spot start) today that was reported my multiple beat guys Sunday.

I am not a fan of these bullpen days. If you weren't doing everything possible to save Hurter, he could have been brought in at the first sign of trouble. For all the effort taken to save starters with these extra rest days via bullpen days, what good did it do Jobe and Olsen? This is different from last year when the bullpen days were out of necessity and the bullpen was a strength.

Per the letter of the rule book, even if hit, I wouldn't have given Tork 1st there.

The less JK Simmons in the booth, the better.

Anybody remember the game before the rule changed, 2004 time frame, when the Tigers were at Cleveland and jumped them to a huge lead, and the grounds crew slow rolled the tarp and resulted in the game getting called and wiped?

Is it late enough that Daniella Upskirt Hour isn't an FCC violation?

Not anymore. Would be suspended to tomorrow and picked up where it left off. This changed a while back.

That's some Florida Weather.

Max Anderson to Toledo per transaction logs...

Active roster plus IL spots as of August 31 are eligible. Anybody in the organization can be a replacement for a player from that pool who is injured.

Well of the two spots, one has to be a position player. You are capped at 14 pitchers after the rosters expand. At the time of that podcast, I would have said Sweeney. Now, I would say the spot is Vierling's or Meadows's if they are healthy come September 1. If not, Malloy would seem to be higher on the totem pole.

Not a fan so far...

I think if nothing else that gives them the false sense of security. Every time they chance lightning, they think it won't get them next time.

The most likely scenario is he is optioned back when his rehab assignment times out (August 19). That would require a 40-man move, but that was done yesterday when Jackson was DFA'ed.

I came across an Artie Kendall video (The ghost crooner from Conan who used to be in the studios in the 30's and sings offensive songs of his time.) It was amazing how, 20 years later, they are less funny, because things like this are just flat out spouted by the GOP these days.

Your title says median, the graph says average. Which is it?

On a personal level, one thing I could see happening if he truly does develop it (and is actually transparent about it, which given the last 9 years of Oval Ovice Opacity with regards to health isn't a guarantee) is that the GOP lines up and reverses the cuts to ALZ and dementia funding that have stopped some great research in its tracks. If it can help dear leader, maybe they would do that... Or... they can do what they did after he was shot and just stump for more guns.

And I'm not calling you out here, but the people flippantly calling accusing this and the previous president of dementia as if it is an insult are painting way too big a brush and insulting a lot more people than the president of the other party.

I hope they all get to be caregiver and get to live that experience. They have enough money that they don't, but a man can dream. They deserve that suffering.

She looks more and more hideous every time that synthetic face shows up on my screen.

In what baseball sense does it make sense for a team having a snakebitten injury year with most of their core under contract to add money at the deadline?

HR allowed tends to be pretty noisy.
