Alex Faedo looking like Alex Faedo again lol

They actually sent him to the Arizona Fall League as well... odd to send him there yet leave him exposed to the Rule 5 draft. I kinda believe they assumed there would be no Rule 5 Draft this year, but who knows.

awful

I dont think it's just G2's word... we are clearly an outlier in the developed world when it comes to firearm deaths. Doesn't matter if it's isolated incidents like the one in Highland Park or a school in Uvalde, or criminal activity on the South Side of Chicago or in South Dallas, the intensity and frequency is different here than elsewhere.

Fuhgetit Jake, it's America.

Seriously, Highland Park? Like the one featured in Ordinary People and half of John Hughes' movies? If that can happen in a town like Highland Park, literally nowhere is safe

Clearly there should have only been a single point of entry into and out of this *checks notes* 4th of July Parade. It may be too soon, but with the rationality displayed by some, surprised it hasn't been suggested yet

On the plus side, zero chance Soto is available on Game 2 lol

JARVY! getting one off of Quarinchak!

Oh wow, the rare pitcher spot walk lol

In retrospect, no... Hill exceeded expectations with his performance, and AJ like selling out for Game 1 of the DH

He absolutely should get to start the 7th at this point

Runners at the corners. Pitcher's spot due up lol

There it is, the traditional awkward family interview lol

Reminds of the Brieske some in that he's continually underestimated.

I'll take the over 😆

First major league start, and stuck with that hat design? That's unfortunate

This is the biggest takeaway for me, for sure. Meadows is capable of coming back and playing well, but either way it doesn't say much for the Tigers that they didn't give Paredes more of an opportunity or set him up for success.

So I give you credit for being one of the few people who actually held that the trade was better from the Tampa Bay end (unlike most everyone else complaining about it), and the response is that I'm "calling you out"? Good Lord, Relax.

This response seems unwarranted.

Sure. But that deal is also much more in the past tense at this point, which if anything makes it better / fairer to reappraise the deal. With this deal, the Tigers still have Meadows under team control for a couple of more years after this one. And it seems like some talk about the guy in the past tense or if he's incapable of providing value... and that just comes across as a premature judgment.

I guess Chas can claim the high ground because he was skeptical from the start, but when Jeff Riger is on his Twitter dot com account sharing every single Paredes home run when I dont recall his objections at the time, it's just trolling

The President of the United States (and someone who aspires to the job again) has a much more acute impact on my day to day life than someone playing for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Probably in the minority, but the Paredes discourse is pretty old at this point
