Kendall Baker at Yahoo Sports AM thinks it's still this: Ohtani scandal deepens: Former Angel David Fletcher, who was one of Shohei Ohtani's best friends, placed bets with the same illegal gambling operation at the center of the ongoing scandal.

May have been wanting to save the pen a bit for the upcoming crucial Royals series, and I am not being facetious.

Joey Cora was hyped.

So there you go, Ramage—you’re not remembering to not take it too seriously, as many fans often do. 😉

This might help explain: https://sportslogohistory.com/about/ As a sports enthusiast growing up in Southern California, I considered myself truly fortunate. California boasts the highest number of professional sports teams among all states. With a total of 15 teams, there is ample opportunity to become a devoted fan of a specific team and sport. From a young age, I was intrigued by the Los Angeles Lakers, my favorite team. I often wondered how they came to be in Los Angeles and how they acquired the nickname "Lakers." Additionally, I pondered which arena the Lakers played in before the renowned "Fabulous Forum." The journey to Los Angeles for the Lakers, much like many professional sports teams across the country, holds fascinating twists and turns. Thus, I delved into the rich history of professional sports teams to uncover the answers I sought. AND SO...SPORTS LOGO HISTORY AND SPORTS TEAM HISTORY WERE CREATED! … Explore Sports Logo History and Sports Team History to uncover my passion for sports history! Enjoy my hobby, but remember not to take it too seriously, as many fans often do!

Yeah, greed sucks. Any thoughts on owner greed?

The difference between us and the Rays is that we have an owner who has proved that he will spend if he believes we’re on the cusp of winning (Baez, Eduardo), so In would give him the benefit of the doubt that he’ll do so again, until he proves in the moment of truth that he’s changed and he won’t. We may never become the Mets or Dodgers, but we won’t become the Rays or Pirates, either.

Has he hit his limit?

Would I throw years at Skubal to keep him around into the next decade? Hmmm … Throwing years at pitchers almost never ends well. As it turns out, with Boras at the helm, it’s a near certainty we don’t get a chance to extend him before he goes on the market anyway.

I think Tork or anyone would become the Tigers permanent DH only when we basically fill every other position with average or better major leaguers, like the Dodgers and Braves and Phillies and Yankees have. And even then I’m not sure we’re going to want to pay him Boras money to stick around and do that. Although I have wondered whether getting Tork off the field altogether would be the magic bullet to finally turn him into the elite hitter everyone has thought he’s always had the potential to become.

More runs, please.

I was the only one who gave what could be fairly characterized as a defense of Crockett, although I thought I positioned it more as a general defense of someone in her position, and I certainly didn’t mention anything about her party.

The Tigers are one of only 23 teams since 1995—the beginning of the current home run era—to score 21 runs across two games without hitting a home run, and the first to do so since 2013.

You must be talking about someone else, because I know you’re not talking about me.

I agree. I was wondering whether the actor is actually from Detroit. I don’t remember anybody around me sounding like that when I lived there.

Usually I just assume that people who promote horrible reactionaries are merely cynical partisan hacks, but every once in a while I have to wonder whether they are just aggressively ignorant or even stupid. Otherwise, how can they not see what’s so blindingly obvious?

Crockett did hide it in a more sophisticated hypothetical, but even without that it was an acceptable level of raising the stakes, and Greene did open the door to the whole thing by being indecorous in the first place. I don’t know if they’re smart enough or deep enough to strategize aforethought, like, “I’ll just mention a minor thing, they’ll go over the line in their response, and then they’ll get blamed for the whole thing”, but that did appear to be the goal here, and it did work for their side. I’m as close to 100% certain as I can be that had Greene not called out the physical appearance of Crockett, Crockett would not have called out Greene’s appearance at all. In this new age of playground insults in politics, I don’t blame Crockett at all for not just grinning and bearing it. I say, good for her.

Probably because we’re up 13-0.

There are exactly two guys out of the 14 playing that game who are on tonight’s roster.

Javy with five ribs to stake us to a 13-0 lead. These are the anti-Tigers right now.

The guy in the Detroit’s In Us spot for Bally, with the mustache in the garage—anyone know who he is?

I would like to know the story of Wenceel Perez getting to this point.

Working the count really only works if you know what to do with a hittable pitch when you get it.
