OOTP players definitely talk back. Some of them outright lip off.

This is extreme just for the discussion, but it might be the difference between “Wow, I don’t really understand this pick, what do they see in the kid?” and “this pick sucks, we’re so doomed.”

Fine by me, so long as he doesn’t turn into the next Byron Buxton who can’t stay on the field.

Looks like Harris sold him on the long term vision.

Really, that swing Tork went on for strike three was the same as the swing Ibanez went on, and this time Gania and Price said they thought he went. So, who knows.

Too bad the trade deadline couldn’t have been June 30.

Welcome to the club!

Fire him.

If Trump could hijack the Constitution he would have already done it, becasue he’s already tried.

Thank. You.

It wasn’t just falling concrete it was catching. My first two years there, I would occasionally hear splat, which was the sound of bird poop hitting nearby seats. Birds were able to fly up and perch on the girder directly above row 9 of the 400 sections of the second deck. I moved my seats to another row just to avoid it, and told my rep why, and he said, yeah, we’ve heard about that problem before. Yet, it still took at least another couple or three years before someone finally got the bright idea to put the nets up there. Maybe it was because of falling concrete and not bird pooping. But putting up the net was basically … ahem … killing tw … no, I just can’t …

Depends where you sit, right? The red seats are really good. The green seats are like old Tiger Stadium, seemingly made for people five-six and under. There is some cost differential between the two, of course.

Keith, probably and Meadows, definitely. Jobe is flinging low-A ball right now after getting hurt. He’s a few years away from big boy pants.

I think the umps were right, but Gania, the PBP on the radio today, might be one of those “my guys right or wrong” guys. I think that comes off as ingratiating, and minor-leaguey. YMMV, but I don’t like that kind of guy. I like truth-tellers like Dan.

So replay shows Baez went on that check swing, but Gania says, “ehhh, I don’t think he went …” So looks like maybe Gania is that guy.

See what Carpenter did with Vlad there? “Nice play, man …”

I wanna see how things are shaping up at the end of March 2024 before I commit to that number, but yeah—it’s not about this year.

Dan Dickerson is my TV guy. 😁

Jim Price was my “coach” at Tigers fantasy camp in 2008 and he is truly a very nice guy.

Man, Riley Greene is hard at the plate!

I serve ‘em up … you knock ‘em out of the park!

Hustle double by Ibanez! He had the throw beat, too. Just smart heads-up baserunning there.

How are you guys enjoying the 50-year season-ticket holder?

What percent of the last ten, twenty, thirty no hitters are combined I wonder?

Wow!
