  1. I think it might depend on one or both of two things: (1) who’s injured; and (2) who’s turned into a pumpkin. If the Tigers are healthy and killing it in July the same way they’re killing it now, with no real weak spots around on the diamond, we shouldn’t need anybody. I’d say the chances are roughly 50/50.
  2. Nothing like hearing Dan Dickerson delve deeply into the game as the camera shifts to Jason Benetti horsing around in the TV booth.
  3. I hope it’s because they can’t afford it. I hope it’s not because they’re billionaires simply trying to keep six more dollars in their pockets.
  4. Why did that lumbering dumbass try to take second on the throw back in to the infield? I like aggressive base running as much as the next guy, but I don’t like taking pointless chances.
  5. Skubal will be worth whatever someone will pay him. That will be the market price.
  6. It was probably a lot harder to check a swing on a 40-ounce bat than on today’s 32-ouncers.
  7. I could swear I’d seen Alexa Datt before and I had to look her up. She put in a couple years at MLB Network, doing some afternoon show I used to watch, and I’d pretty much forgotten.
  8. MLB Now showed footage from the 1965 World Series where Koufax elicited swords from hitters and they were considered to not have gone around on the pitches which, if you see the clip, will practically boggle your mind.
  9. It’s because he wants help to go to him, as a friendly, and not to “them”, whoever they may be.
  10. That’s how you know they know they have no defense for whatever terrible thing they are doing: they go ad hominem on the questioner. You see it with Trump and mainstream media anytime he’s asked a question of accountability by them. It’s the Kremlin playbook.
  11. I knew they were going to start stealing vaccines from us. Motherforkers.
  12. Every time during game action they show odds of whether this batter is gonna hit a homer, or that pitcher is gonna get over 5.5 strikeouts, a little more of my soul leaves my body.
  13. I’m just holding out for the AJ interview.
  14. Fanduel doing a shared Cardinals-Tigers postgame, almost certainly to cut costs. Late stage media capitalism at its finest. I actually hope that means Fanduel is losing their shirt on skinning baseball broadcasts and are gonna pull out of it this winter.
  15. Do you seriously think so? I think Papa Doc was a baseball-first guy. He may or may not have known the intricacies of comparative analysis when it comes to players, but I’d bet he knew Miggy was one of the bigger stars in the other league at that time.
  16. YES!! Kahnle does the job. This is a pretty big win after last night’s embarrassment.
  17. Were those guys sitting on the dugout handing those pep girls dollars bills as though they were strippers??
  18. Well, OK, now show us you really are a good team and gut out a one-run win here.
  19. Good, there’s one. Now plate Riley and give us a little room here.
  20. Javy makes the 60% play. Now we have to get runs, plural, because I feel very uneasy about going into the bottom of the ninth tied up or even up only one.
  21. **** like umpire incompetence is how good teams lose games.
  22. The only teams I can see giving Skubal ten years under today’s CBA are Dodgers, Yankees, Mets. Skubal is going to be signed after the next CBA, so who knows how or whether the landscape changes. Chances are high he’ll be unemployed through the strike, unless one of the big three takes a flyer on him and the new CBA and signs him that November.
  23. We are really creaking here. A walk from Vest s a bad sign.
  24. I think of the Miggy trade as a huge outlier.
