They might probably just be able to use that same angle we see in replays of them, and they could at least overturn the easy ones. The Bryce Harper swing, that would have been an easy overturn. Anything that's right on the line, not enough evidence to overturn, just like play reviews today.

I don't know, seems like ball-strike review could take all of 30 seconds. Either it's in their box or it's not. Isn't that how it's happening right now in the minors?

Exactly this, in the same way they don't want to actually fix the economy because they need to point to what they say is a poor economy so they can hammer Democrats on it to get votes. They need the price of eggs and the price of gas to be over five bucks. And they need a Crisis on the Border™. And besides, if they do try to fix any of the things they complain about, whether it's the economy, the border, or whatever else, they'll be the ones to get the blame when the solution goes upside down on them. So in the end, implementing solutions is actually a lose-lose proposition for the Republicans. There's literally nothing in it for them.

She has now put herself in the MAGA crosshairs and we're going to hear a lot more about her, which is great, because I definitely want to see more of this congressional representative.

When it comes time for the vote, writers will look at the bottom line and remember the Triple Crown and that he got a ring. They will completely forget his final seven years. There's no way he doesn't go in on the first ballot. He's not DiMaggio, after all.

Been a long time since I thought of heal or hurt. Thanks for the memory.

Nothing to do with ridiculousness. Everything to do with shaking things up.

This, along with the substantial changes in management and coaching, might be the kind of data point that could pique the interest of a halfway decent free agent, if that’s the direction Scott wants to go in.

Roseanne Barr?

Maybe they haven't done so by now because they haven't been attacked on their soil by the U.S. military yet.

Speaking as a folk on the left, I might have some concern if the MAGA Republicans who are behind most of the anti-immigration effort would provide good data in support of their arguments. Instead I just see histrionics about wide open borders and bringing drugs and bringing crime and rapists and some I assume are good people. It's a lot of scary words but no facts that I have seen so far. If you have any data to share, something that would perhaps bottom-line the scope of the problem, I'd love to review and consider it.

How can they see anything with their heads so far up Donald Trump's ass?

I wonder whether the reason Hinch ran Maton out there for so long night have been that Maton was showing flashes of "getting it", maybe during games or drills or something, and he was getting every chance to finally make it click until it became apparent that he just wasn't, at least not this year he wasn't. Hitting .173 sure didn't help, either. The one thing Maton can do is work counts and draw walks, but no one is going to make a career on a skill set with that in the center of it. He hasn't played much third since going to Toledo, and I'm wondering what they see as his future here, if any. I think they'll give him one more hack next spring, if they can't package him in some trade. I'd be a little surprised if they just cut bait on him.

I see a lot of criticism of the Smartest Guy in the Room moving players around from position to position on a game to game basis. I didn’t say fans hated the person for that, and maybe it doesn’t even reflect actual hatred for the tactic itself, but it does suggest to me they believe the Guy should be doing something different than that with the players he has.

This Mr. Smith character wanted really, really, really badly to say "Biden crime family" instead of just "Biden family" or just " ... the family". Thank god good taste prevailed ... 😏

I saw "Max Green" and my eyes got wide and I clutched my chest for half a second before saying, "oh ..."

I think both he and McKinstry might return for the very reason so many fans hate: they have the flexibility to play multiple positions. I think that's important for rebuilding teams that don't have a surplus of everyday players, but that still needs to try to win games in the meantime. I do think once we get solid everyday guys to play either second or third, one of them may be released. Maybe that's next year, maybe that's 2025. Fun fact: Ibanez and McKinstry rank 3-4 along Tigers position players this year in WAR, behind only Carpenter and Greene, and ahead of Tork, Baez, Jake, and everyone else.

They’ve seen that once a country lets the American military into the house, it can be super difficult to get them out.

It really does give you a clear sense of how way out there people can get.

I can see Ibanez sticking around. I don’t know that they will try to pass Kelly through waivers so they can stash him away in Toledo. I think the front office is gonna give him a chance to hook on for a starting job someplace else. I don’t think McKinstry or Maton are going anywhere. I also don’t think we keep Joey Wentz so we can lose Will Vest.

If Miggy can manage to jack two more bombs, then he would have the most career home runs of anyone who has ever played for the Tigers.

At least she's not going to end up on OnlyFans like some Congressional representatives we can name.

Dred Scott might like to have a word with you about this. 😏 Notwithstanding this, I totally cosign onto your post.

Then Parker can move to left when future face-of-the-franchise Max Clark comes up.
