I was thinking about the sitting Congressmen Trump primaried. They're still in office until November. What if they all grew a pair and voted against every one of his issues? Maybe they have the numbers but not the actual support?
Cleveland did pretty good on a few deals. I dont remember the details but I read an article a few months ago about some of their trades. But yeah, it's pretty rare to get talent back. Who would trade future All Star talent for a couple of months of an All Star pitcher?
Is Flaherty better than JV? IDK, JV hasnt been healthy. Flaherty isnt very good, if it comes down to him or Montero, who would you rather see? The money Flaherty is making gives him a very long leash but he's horribly inconsistent.
If JV comes back effectively and Skubal and Melton pitch well with Jack still struggling? I could see him being the odd man out. But yeah, the money...
With 2 strikes, agreed, you need to protect the plate. Not looking for a fastball and getting it makes you look very foolish. Getting fooled on a breaking ball is understandable but a fastball? Ugh...poor piece of hitting. But again, there's plenty of blame to go around. As a great man once said...it is what it is. 🥺
But it's not really fair to say that about this Tiger team. Take the same amount of players that we have injured off of any team in baseball and they would struggle, maybe even worse. We have an entire pitching staff injured. Starting CF, a possible starting SS, starting 2nd baseman and AAA players filling in. No team has the depth to cover all of those injuries
Are you being serious? Think about trades Harris has made. He doesn't make significant trades, never has. Mize and Skubal are both gonna be free agents, maybe Chris will sign them, that money isn't on Harris, it's above his pay grade.
Riley taking strike 3 was horrible. And so was Hinch's use of his better arms in the BP. And McKinstry getting picked off 2nd base. Inexcusable, all of them. I wouldn't just lay the blame on Riley. Like I said, IMO, it should never even have come down to a bottom of the 9th situation.
Uhhh...I would say we lost that game because our BP couldn't hold a late lead. Riley did take strike 3 but it should never have gotten to the bottom of the 9th. And in extras, Hinch already used his top 3 relievers in a failed bid to hold a lead so he had to bring in an ineffective Holton. Ballgame
