Oh, drinking song. 100%. What would it even sound like in choir form?

I think the more important message here is do not agree to Autopay. EVER.

He’ll learn too late that quislings don’t escape the gas chamber.

Meaning there’s no revenue angle and they’ll take a loss at the taxpayers’ expense just to make her go away? That makes no sense, and I doubt they did this just to make no sense. There’s money in this for them somewhere.

What’s he going to do, sue the hospital out of existence for accepting patients? Imprison trans kids for getting medical care in Washington? Imprison their parents and grandparents and the next three generations of family too? What the actual **** is this fascist bull****?

I read the story, and I don’t see how it could possibly be worth it to these right wing morons to pay her $4 million to leave the job. I assume they behave some plan to make that all back many-fold with her out of the way, but how?

This sounds good on paper, but remember, they’re not counting on a conviction as much as they are the presumption of guilt in the court of public opinion that would happen with an indictment.

This might be how it ends up but presuming these are the eight guys, I think Miller starts out further back in the pen: Lange Miller Foley Chafin Holton Brieske Vest Faedo I’m guessing even this would not be etched in stone end of March, though. We’ll probably see save opportunities go to Lange and Miller and Foley; set-up opportunities go to all three plus Chafin and Holton; and spot starts/openings from Vest and Faedo. I wouldn’t doubt it if we saw Olson and SGL spend some time in the back of the pen at times. As much as Harris is criticized for seeking flexibility with the position players, I think we’ll see the same with the pitching staff, and that will continue until we get enough guys rising up to earn established roles that we will finally have a team of regulars. Bet you a dollar Brieske never sees the Tiger roster ever again. Just a hunch.

I seem to remember one of our problems is that we did not construct a staff with an eye toward the inevitable injuries and the having to slot guys in and out of the rotation as a result. We would go north with five guys in the rotation and then be surprised when man down. TBF, I think that’s how most teams would handle it, at least up tol the past few years. I like the idea that this team might be setting themselves up with aforethought to manage through that inevitably.

I don’t mind the six-starter theory as long as there are only five slots in the rotation, and the last slot is split among various optionable players, long relievers, and openers. But I definitely do not want my best, most reliable starters to have five days of rest on the regular.

BP is used for both here, but it’s not used for bullpen anywhere else. Now I remember what the other one is: DH. You: We play a DH today. Me: We play a DH every day. Pitchers don’t hit anymore. You: No, I mean we play a day-night DH. Me: …

OK, I’ll have to try to remember to watch these ladies next year and see whetehr they’re actually bolting like this as the pitch crosses the plate, which is the rule in slo-pitch.

lol i keep forgetting that’s how BP is used around here. There’s another one used like that around here, I forget which one

And, more importantly, not getting paid for long.

Llol Alanna Rizzo No Ohtani. No Judge. No Goldschmidt. Trout #8. Salvador Perez even being on it. Apparently based on criteria other than baseball playing.

Speaking of base running techniques: one inexplicable thing I will never understand is anyone who leads off from the back of the base. A lot of women I play with in softball, especially those who have team experience from their school years, do this. I will never, ever, ever understand it.

I still play and I still do it the same way I always did: clipping the left lower corner of the bag with the outside edge of my right foot on the turn. That probably cuts a foot or so off the distance versus trying to clip it with my left foot, since that way most of the body is over the bag versus my way where the none of the body is over the bag.

I think the base line is meant only for running through first base so batter-runners can’t run all the way to the stands to avoid a tag. I believe once the ball gets into the outfield there’s not need to stay within that lane.

I’m pretty sure we signed Miller to do more than throw batting practice. I like the signing as a good bullpen depth move. Miller added a splitter last season and was crushing hitters with it, although the flip side is that his already high-ish walk rate spiked. Maybe the Whisperer mentioned seeing something he could work with and that why they went for him. Miller’s also going to get a chance to close some games early on since his contract has incentives based on that. It may or may not work, but might as well try him there because who else we gonna put there? Lange or bust?

News flash: your “Democrats could” is not the equivalent of the actual “Trump did”.

The difference being that no Democrat ever incited their followers to storm any capitols to overturn elections that Republicans won.

It just proves that Biden wants illegals to flood the streets with fentanyl.
