Statcast feed on ESPN2 might be worthwhile...

How do you know Langford would have signed for that with the Tigers?

So if Gibson and Parrish leaving started the downfall, can we thank collusion for the run lasting as long as it did?

The premise of these "redraft" hypotheticals assumes players are drafted in order of how good they are and not based on who signals they are willing to sign a deal with the team and where they fit in the bonus pool, and I don't know how how to spread that word.

Not really a pet peeve, but my phone broke yesterday (drowned on a boating day), so I bought a new one from Verizon. Unfortunately, in order to activate the Sim Card, they sent a text to the old broken phone which I had no way of receiving, and I couldn't call Verizon without a functioning phone. So the pet peeve is lack of common sense in authentication techniques.

Blazing Saddles Airplane Anchorman The In Laws (By the way, I could probably just rattle off Mel Brooks movies, but wanted to add some diversity.)

Wherein I point out that taking somebody other than Max Clark in 2023 may have jeopardized McGonigle.

I tested AI a while back with some niche draft rule questions that I knew were wrong in the public domain to see how wrong it was... It failed.

This article drives me nuts. Links to a paywall piece, regurgitates everything behind it, does no reporting. And we wonder why journalism is dying...

Not really framing that right. A lot of these waiver wire pick ups are just attempts to try to slip them through later and keep the player without using a 40 man spot.

I am wondering if they have seen enough of Carlos Hernandez.

Enns is coming up to start Thursday. He has an opt out on July 1, but has pitched pretty well. Interestingly enough, his contract allows him to declare major league free agency after the year, but the Tigers have a multimillion dollar team option they can pick up. It's clear they thought there was something here.

Gotta go for a bike ride, let me know if my twitter question (Sorry @romad1) made it on...

Interesting camera angle with Daniella's outfit...

Padres paid a posting fee and gave him two years guaranteed last year. Dumped him on the Marlins in the Arraez deal, and the Marlins DFA him shortly after. Owens and Vanasco are out right now. Balazovic hasn't pitched since June 3, so I suspect there is an IL stint that didn't make the transactions logs there. Riley Unroe has pitched a bunch lately. Also, late June is heavy opt out season, so I see why they wanted to add an arm.

I grew up in Western Ohio and they played at the redneck Country Concert nearby most years, primarily because that original (Al Jardine) is from Lima.

Yes. You take on the salary if you claim them off release waivers. If Brebbia signs with somebody this week, they can get him for the prorated minimum.

I think the BBWAA is more informed now than ever

Players currently at or above the JAWS standard, as a starting point: Paul Goldschmidt Freddie Freeman Jose Altuve Francisco Lindor Mike Trout Mookie Betts Aaron Judge Bryce Harper Justin Verlander Max Scherzer Clayton Kershaw I was surprised how borderline Marcus Semien is...

Not out of the woods. The ulnar nerve is what provides feeling to those two fingers, so there's likely something brewing in the elbow. I mean, there likely is for every pitcher, but this may be a sign.

One big difference between Jason and Mario. Jason knows the rules, really knows the rules, studies them and recites them when something weird comes up. Mario had empty air when the truck showed a replay of a balk.

NUCLR golf drives me nuts, and I say this as somebody who had a very public spat with NLU's Tron Carter, but he's the person who originally tweeted this picture out. No credit, no nothing, just NUCLR claiming it as their own. Just a scum account. My bad, I see they cited him now upon further review. Still, I've got NUCLR blocked and suggest others do as well.

It's funny because Gleyber is second on the team in career HR.
