  1. Steve Stone tells Harry Caray stories about that. Caray would be going on and on about budweiser, while you could hear the catchers mitt pop pitch after pitch, with no commentary.
  2. In 42 career starts, Skenes' era is 1.95. I'd give up a lot for him, but not what Pitt would require. He'll be a FA entering his age 28 season. The thought of Skubal and Skenes compares to RJohnson and Schilling imho. Would be scary good.
  3. I'm gonna start a tally for how many times Jason plugs McKinstry for the all-star game
  4. I agree, and national journalists are also now saying that same thing. I would be interested to hear Steve Phillips address that issue again.
  5. Skenes isn't getting traded because he is under team control for years. The Pirates won't trade him unless a team makes an offer like the one espn proposed. Of course Det would say no! Hence no chance Skenes gets traded this year
  6. Satchel paige fastball, the midnight rider
  7. Montero's era is back under 4. He's handled the up and down to Toledo well.
  8. Odom did close out the Tigers in 1972. He sucks!
  9. Boyd made the NL all-star game. Good for him!
  10. Did a quick check - looks like Mize will be up for FA the same time as Skubal. If Mize has back to back very good years the Tigers could be looking at losing the top of their rotation. Just going to enjoy this ride and trust Harris
  11. Wow 1st career HR off a fastball!
  12. I put "highly" overrated in quotes for a reason. It's one thing to call a prospect overrated. If you put "highly" in there I would expect some reasoning. Since the AZ Fall league he's hit 25 HR in ~280 at-bats.
  13. And they are planning more lines to the suburbs into the city. A lot of people were upset with Ventura when he pushed for this, but it's definitely a convenient mode of transportation
  14. For those who missed Skubal's "oh sh*t" https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CjMzNZT4c/?mibextid=D5vuiz
  15. If you take 3 shots of tequila it becomes a neon green. Much like the shag carpet in my family home during the 70s
  16. The fact that AJ can plug Javy in at 2nd is awesome. I used tolove watching Tony Phillips (RIP) play. Versatility is an unmeasured factor
  17. I just hope Rick Mahon doesn't get snatched up
  18. They've walked off back to back.
  19. Yep, Minneapolis has a very good light rail system - that was the brainchild of then Governor Jesse Ventura 25 years ago. Minneapolis does also have a boatload of parking garages within 6 blocks of the field. All of the government buildings are right there. I used to be able to walk from work. Target is a nice field
  20. Not sure how he can be "highly" overrated. He's fooling all of the prospects sites
  21. It's the fox local game in Minneapolis. Will be interesting - Benetti will have to be impartial
  22. Thanks for posting. Consistent. As AJ keeps saying, win the series.
