Have you read Shanahan’s overview on Wikipedia? Calling her a wackjob is insulting to wackjobs. You know how Charli XCX said Kamala is brat? That’s not even close to true. You know who is 110% brat? Nicole Shanahan, because, in the words of Charli herself: You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes. Who feels herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like, parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat. Brat Is not a compliment.

Is he great, though? Not as currently constructed, I dont think. If he improves several core attributes, especially his defense, he could be a great fourth outfielder because he does have some bat potential. That’s a tall order for most guys, I believe.

I said that because I am always amused by how multiple posters, not just you, frequently name only ex-Tigers as the guys we should be trading for or signing. There are literally dozens of left-handed relievers who have a better FIP than Drew Smyly—in fact, he’s 43rd of 49, one slot worse than, of all people, Joey Wentz—yet people say they want us to trade for or sign Smyly because why? Well, near as I can figure, it’s because he’s top of mind. We remember him. He’s a Devil We Know. While we’re at it, why not reacquire Tyler Alexander? He’s 41st in FIP, better than both Wentz and Smyly, and I would bet that the Rays wouldn’t even ask for Max Clark in return. 😁

Yes, that, and he’s not a first division starter by any stretch.

And if the Smyly thing doesn't work out, there are other ex-Tigers we could always bring back ... Buck Farmer and Shane Greene and Justin Wilson are still out there ... the Angels probably can't use Matt Moore anymore ... Nick Ramirez is probably on his last leg with the Dodgers ... maybe the Braves will DFA Joe Jimenez ... hey, too bad Michael Fulmer is out with TJ ... 😏

I gotta be honest with you: I don't envision Mize being a big part of the next playoff teams. I see him playing the Dave Rozema circa 1984 role, at best. As for Wenceel, I don't see him on that team at all.

Good one!

Looks like I've struck a chord with this one ...

And that’s five in a row!

Most of whom weren’t worth a damn until Harris took over.

Wow, Shelby Miller just disintegrated.

I don’t remember that from when I lived in Macomb County between 1963 and 1991.

And that’s how you big-time Jason Benetti cc: C. Monroe

There’s a non-zero chance we might be ending Johnny Cueto’s career tonight.

Benetti is not exactly explaining it in a stellar way.

That’s exactly what happened a couple weeks ago. Carpenter should’ve called it.

Jake bomb!

Tork had that same screwup on the pop up with Carpenter a couple weeks ago.

Carpenter liner perfectly screened by Cueto, gets by shortstop, run scores. There’s your headline.

Jesus, do we have some speed on this team or what!

And that’s why you gotta call the ball in the outfield.

Hurter has locked this game down pretty good in the first four innings. Gotta pick him up here.

Is that the club someone must have hit me in the head with to cause me to become so scatterbrained lately? 😁

It’s on the home page. Motownforums.com slash nothing.

Not many of our guys have ever seen him.
