Silver and shiny is a uniform color for rollerball. I like the blue tops and “silver” pants combo.

Well, that was a quick six.

I don’t like the gray uniforms. Gray is a road color.

The Don Larsen of umpires.

Is that a promotion or a demotion? What was behind the move?

I rely a lot on Twitter and the site as well. I also like certain national guys and outlets because they’re in neither the fan game nor the access game. Cody is the best of the local guys but he has limits as to how candid he can be. I think we benefit from him being an outsider, no history with the team, and that he’s with a national organization the Tigers practically must extend access to.

After all the talk on the old board and this about how absent the Tigers always were on the international front, remember how excited everyone on the board was when the Avila regime finally started throwing millions of Ilitch dollars at Dominican 16-year-olds in the past few years? Ehhhhhh I’m not so sure I’m excited about that anymore …

That, plus when you slide I think your eyes stay steadier as you descend, maybe because of the way your head is positioned vis a vis the rest of your body.

They've been all over the playoffs. The two spots I saw in last night's game, one targeted Latino with a Latin-American-accented narrator, and one targeted black people with a black-accented narrator. Looks obviously pandering to us, although many in the target audience may not see it that way.

I say 50/50 chance at least one person gets murdered at the polls this year, and if so, 90% chance the perpetrator side gaslights the country about what actually happens.

A bit of follow-up analysis on this: It was a good catch in the moment, although not quite uh-mazing, in that it's not as though he picked it right off his shoe-tops, or off the ground. He caught it about a foot and a half off the ground. Did he have to actually slide, like into a base, to catch it? Maybe he did. Speaking only for myself, as an outfielder, I find it easier to slide into a catch low off the ground, versus diving forward for it. I feel like I have better control of the process that way. Maybe he does, too? I saw in an article that the catch he made—based on where Nick started from, how the ball was hit (EV/LA), and where it landed (distance, placement)—had a 65% probability of being caught by a typical big league right fielder. That means the ball should be caught more often than not caught. I'm guessing Nick got his characteristically poor jump on the ball, seeing how the jump portion of his Savant card is so darkly blue. I could not find any video of him just as the ball was hit, i.e., what kind of jump he actually got. But I would think that a player who gets a good jump, or maybe even an average jump, catches that ball without having to catch a grass stain along with it. Nevertheless, let's give Old Nick his due. Regardless of any of the underlying factors involved, he did catch the ball to extend the game into extra innings, and it was a five-star catch for him. Had he clanked it, the Phillies would have lost on that very play, and Nick would be a temporary goat rather than the temporary GOAT.

I can't imagine he won't be back for game 5. Who knows, maybe he pushes for Game 4 if they're down 3-0.

Putin is anything but left but I can see what you mean. The leftism of those two seem to me to be more statist in nature, but also, Stein in particular favored a policy to not poke The Bear by enforcing shoot-down zones in Syria.

Castellanos with the catch of his life!

Hey, at least you saw an NFL title! Sure, you were probably in grade school, but hey, you were around!

Now do the Lions.

Definitely not too soon!

It's not truly Republican if it's not cruel.

Pro-Putin left?

Confidence, schmonfidence—it's all about the fundraising ...

Now multiply this by a few hundred across the country and we will have an idea of what November, December, and beyond is going to look like. January 3 is going to be fu-u-u-un ... if they don't postpone it entirely ...

Okey dokey.

Maybe. I've been wondering whether they were going to jump off this by pivoting to MJT's point about how it's really Democrats who are the lethal threat to Republicans, and how Republicans are merely just harmless old farmers and grandparents living in BFE, midwestern Redstate.

Whenever someone says "for the most part", that signals that they themselves know that whatever they have connected that statement to is not really true.
