As joyless as the team is, the dialogue surrounding the team from fans and the beat writers doesn't help. That's reason enough alone to hope for Al to be canned.

I'm not even sure the significance of this debate really, given that Meadows will be coming back soon (supposedly during the upcoming road trip if all goes to plan) and that Baddoo seems to be going in the right direction in Toledo. And with Grossman still on the roster. I dont know that there's room for either of them in the medium-long run.

I understand. But you said he hadn't hit above AA, and I dont believe that to be accurate given that he did so in a roughly 35 game stretch last year. It hasn't manifested itself as much this year, but he has hit above AA. I'm not passionate enough to get into a debate over it because, after all, we are arguing over guys who will likely never end up more than bench players. But of the two, up until this week, I would have said I'd rather see Cameron. Willi appears to have improved enough where it is more of a coin flip now.

Mayer cooled off some but has had a couple of good games beginning in August. Jordan Lawlar is better though. Either way, I'm with you in that I'd take the troika over Boston's haul in Rounds 1-2 last year in Mayer and Jud Fabian (who did not sign and went back to Florida).

Kinda harsh, Cameron had a .865 OPS in 36 games last year for the Hens. Also had a few big hits and defensive plays for the Tigers during his stint earlier in the year... I would like to see more of him, although with the re-emergence of Baddoo, he looks a little more blocked these days

Lipcius continuing his tear across the Eastern League

Now 3-3 with a double, 2BB and an RBI tonight They'll probably wait, but he's about ready

Fulmer, Jimenez and even Soto all are qualified statistically. It sucks that its still just relievers, but if one of those guys are picked, it'll be warranted

Exactly. Hinch sometimes makes game decisions I dont like, but in terms of managing the roster at a higher level, Hinch knows his players better than any of us do and I trust his judgment in how he handles the roster.

During Spring Training, our fanbase continually grouped him with Greene in suggesting that it would be insane for him not to be on the Opening Day roster. And now? We are declaring him a bust. Shit, he smacked a missile in this game and people still appear to be suggesting he needs to head down I-75. He will be fine. I am fine with him getting ABs at this level and learning major league pitching...

They are also 2/100ths off of 3.0 runs/game, which seems like an accomplishment with how bad they were pre-Greene. It's unfair to expect him to single-handedly raise the level of play for the team, but clearly they are a better team with him versus without

👀

If he hits them that far, he can keep hitting them in that direction lol

I stand corrected!!!!!!

Wrong park, kiddo... Gotta hit it somewhere else lol

It's really telling that whenever you bring up these examples or when you ask questions about who one thinks should be punished in a post-Roe world, you never get any dialogue or an answer. These aren't hard questions... nor are they gotcha questions. If one has formulated views on the issue of abortion and it falls on the side of abolishing the practice, it stands to reason that one would have some opinions on cases like the one highlighted in the article.

For any struggling pitcher, this lineup is just what the doctor ordered.

I wonder how many drams of scotch the moderator needed after this debate.... Jeebus.

along these lines

Question for those on the pro life side of the debate: do you feel this is OK?

Craig suggesting that Keller hitting Tork in the head had something to do with his homer back in April. Also, the grassy knoll was clearly where the shot came from lol

The ABs in the 6th and 7th with men on base were awful. That's a big factor in the loss tonight. Greene was part of that, but he seems to be able to put together a more professional AB than most of the vets on this team.

Tough loss, but goes to show that when you get 2 on, no outs, gotta cash in
