do tell …

Still not worried. People don’t pay attention to politics until October. Once they do, enough of them will come around. Not all, but enough. We’ve been seeing that dynamic in elections since 2018.

Not surprising at all.

Music to the ears of some here.

It's almost pointless to complain about Chris McCosky because he can't be saved, but his unabashed man-love of the players is not only unprofessional and antithetical to actual journalism, it's also creepy in a weird, stalky kind of way. My time at fantasy camps has taught me that players generally like anybody who is fawning and fanboyish with them, so he's probably well-accepted by most, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he genuinely creeps at least some of them out.

I don't think either "throw strikes but don't give them anything to hit" nor "work the count but don't give away pitches" is contradictory in the least. A good pitcher can throw strikes without giving a hitter anything to hit, and a good hitter can work the count without giving away pitches. It's just that pitchers and hitters who aren't good are those who can't make that work. Which is why Bouton complained about it. 😁 I tend to think that Hinch is as at least as savvy as you and I when it comes to understanding that a well-hit at 'em ball results from a good process that needs to be embraced and repeated, almost regardless of the outcome.

Astute observation.

I'm starting to become doubtful that Tork can ever be fixed here. Not because Tigers hitting coaches are incompetent, which too many people hope is the case, but perhaps because, since this is his only organization and the one that drafted him based on his hitting style at the time, and which multiple coaching regimes have since been trying to change, he may be too hard-headed to listen to anyone wearing a Tigers cap telling him he needs to change anything. After all, didn't these guys love what I was already doing enough to give me eight million dollars to keep doing it? So, hey man, what the fck? I wouldn't be surprised to learn that's what's going on in his head. Maybe what Tork needs is someone in a different cap to tell him what to change for the light bulb to finally come on. And unfortunately, for that to happen, we'll need a solid replacement, which isn't right around the corner at the moment, and we'll almost certainly need to sell him low when it's time.

Or else as much coke as Mike Lindell.

As long as posting guest opinion columns about the awful and out of control nature of everything is considered in-bounds here, might as well get another perspective on it.

The whole idea that these protesters are a monolith consisting of domestic terrorists who were polluted by our K-12 system which established their godless Musilm antisemitism but are also cosplayers being controlled by Marxist professors while they plot their mundane lives in the suburbs in ten years is just so on-script

Breaking bomber by getting him to hand out his first-ever reactions to you and running up your score is just straight-up gangsta

Garbage meme but hilarious

Probably because “Cincinnati” is so fun to write. Like “Mississippi” or “Walla Walla” or :”Kalamazoo”. Not that any of those places are particularly fun to visit, mind you. In fact, there must be some inverse correlation thing going on there …

As aggravating as it was to lose that first game yesterday in the ninth, we still won the series. Now a big test in New York and Cincinnati.

Lange came up big here to preserve the pen for the Yankees. 😎

Pinch-runner Parker Meadows thrown out stealing to end the inning. Thanks, Hinch. 😏

I think all of the above applies, with the probable exception of Democrats' admiration of Mike Johnson's integrity.

Also, keeping Mike Johnson firmly in his seat gives Dems plenty to campaign on this coming Fall.

As I was saying ...

Don't you know that players win games but managers lose them? It's all over this forum, not sure how you could'of missed it

Clearly you don't understand the strategery behind Whatabout. 😏

I get what you mean, but they are going to do that regardless of what Trump says. I'm more concerned that he can neuter the issue just by keeping his mouth shut about it, what I know is almost impossible, but who knows, maybe he gets smart about it for once.

I don't know what you're seeing on the actual site itself when you try this, but if it just fails without comment and goes back to the original state it was in before you started typing, this might be an Apple thing. On my Pad I occasionally get a situation where I spend several minutes on a post, and when I go to post it, it simply fails without explanation. I have since found I can back button to repopulate the box with what I'd written, which is nifty. Then I can copy and paste it into Notes, close and reopen the browser, re-post what I'd tried to before, and it usually works. Nothing like this ever happens on my Windows machine. 😎 There's another issue where, for some reason, one single word in your post will prevent the post from posting. When that happens, you get a dialog box saying something along the lines of the post you made is no longer there, or available, or something like that. When this happens, you have to repost your content one paragraph at a time until you figure out the offending word, at which point you just change the word and then it's fine. It's probably an Invision issue because that exact same thing happened on the old board as well.
