They’re trying to get readers to buy the jerseys.

It truly doesn’t get much more bi-partisan than that.

But how else is he going to defend his family when the woke Antifa BLM illegals invade his house?

He’s pandering to you, the constituent.

Also, not for nothing, remember how we were praising Tork’s defense out of the box the first week or so? Looks like his numbers have caught up with the eye test (20 innings/position minimum): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?lg=all&type=1&season=2024&season1=2024&ind=0&rost=&age=&filter=&players=0&startdate=&enddate=&stats=fld&team=6&pos=all&month=0&sortcol=12&sortdir=default&qual=20

Only one plate appearance into his Tigers career and Buddy Kennedy is already fifth on the team in offense above replacement: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2024&season1=2024&ind=0&rost=&age=&filter=&players=0&startdate=2024-03-19&enddate=2024-11-01&stats=bat&month=1000&team=6&sortcol=19&sortdir=default&pos=np Sadly, Colt Keith is dead last, even below Javy./

Slackers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your brains!

I definitely think it will be. At whatever point we are peaking, we'll probably have something like five or six everyday guys who will get spelled maybe once every ten or so games, and six or so guys to rotate regularly among the other two or three slots.

Forty-two more wins and he's 41 years old now and getting injured every year now? I don't. Which only means he'll do it.

And Wenceel makes it up with the awkward sliding catch on the slight-misjudged dying quail.

I'm not crying. You're crying. Shut up.

Wenceel with the literal rookie mistake throwing to third allowing Willi to take second.

There's another peeve of mine: when you are left on hold and, instead of a steady stream of bad muzak—which I can take because I can keep working through it—you instead get a voice interrupting every 20 seconds reminding you that your call is very important so please continue to hold; or, worse, a promotional announcement trying to sell you some upgrade or different service the company you're calling has on offer. AT&T is famous for that ****. I can't work through that because the talking interrupts my chain of thought. (That's also a reason I can listen only to instrumentals while I am working, as long as I don't know the song, so I tend to play cool jazz or chamber music or lo-fi or stuff like that, because both song with lyrics and songs I already know distract me.)

That Javy throw was a completely catchable throw for any big league first baseman.

Here’s why Benetti is not doing today’s game: Here’s the thing, though: look up where you can watch the Michigan Spring Game and you will be read that it is on FOX. However, you won’t find it on FOX 2, you won’t find it on the FOX TV network, you won’t find it on FS1, you won’t find it on FS2, and there is no Fox Sports Detroit. So, if college football exhibition games in April are your bag, then good luck finding it, I guess.

Being gaslit by corporate America absolutely drives me out of my mind. The worst thing in the world someone can do is pretend something is one way when I and everyone else can absolutely see that it’s the other way. But then, there are things in which you know you’re being gaslit but you can’t absolutely prove it. Here are two fast examples: Any company you call and the AI-or-recorded voice says, “Please listen carefully as our menu options have recently changed.” No, they haven’t. You’ve had this same message for several years and your menu options have never changed even once. My car dealer’s recorded voice answers with, “Thank you for calling [car dealership’s name]. Our receptionist is currently assisting other callers …”. No they aren’t. Two reasons I know this: (1) I haven’t seen a receptionist at your dealership for almost ten years; (2) I got this same message when I called it once at 500am.

Back to the maps! The problem is not you—the problem is where you live.

That’s exactly the same way I feel about Elon Musk.

My favorite part is the state rep who owns a Smoothie King insisting that children want to work for him without having to take breaks. When I was a teenager, I don’t think I ever worked a single minute in a restaurant when I wasn’t thinking about how long it was until my next break.

Dan calls the game like it’s on radio. He mentions every pitch and outcome, and he talks baseball the entire time in between. A lot of people don’t like that. They thinks it’s too verbose. Not me. I love it.

I think whatever Javy Baez decides to do after baseball, he’s gonna be all right.

What a baseball-y play by Baez to keep Castro at second!

Tork comes up big on the 3U

Setting aside the overthrow, Theelbar really dealt tonight. We were lucky to get to him.
