Sure it could happen, but there is no way any amount of biomechanics gurury is going to hike TORK!’s 74mph average throw up to the MLB average of 85mph for third basemen. Anyhow, was it you who came on board with me a week or so ago when I hypothesized that the Drivelining of pitching might be a key reason pitcher injuries have rocketed skyward? If infielders start doing those kinds of drills as well, we might see a rash of TJs among them, too.

It would be nice, but TORK!'s arm is way too weak for third. Heck, it's among the weakest of those at first, and they practically don't need an arm at all.

I'm not complaining about the job Harris is doing so far, and I am definitely giving him a lot of rope, at least a couple years worth, in which he has to demonstrate some level of incompetence before I do start seriously complaining. I don't expect to see that—I'm just setting my personal benchmark for that kind of response. That said, within a limited sense, I'm with you. So far it's been a lot of meh waiver pickups coupled with tenders and non-tenders everyone expected even during the season. Nothing on the roster front has surprised or delighted me just yet. In fact I'm a bit disappointed by the Cisnero tender, based on his advanced age, steadily declining strikeout rate, and sieve-like walk rate. OMMV.

There is that, too. People who like the fascism without the histrionic personality.

The only decent thing Sarah Palin has done, and the best part is, she couldn’t push back even though the joke was on her.

Not Maggie’s Farm? That’s a big favorite of mine. I think his voice is a perfect match for the style.

Are torrents still a thing, even?

That’s fine, go ahead and investigate and tighten up that pipeline, but Ukraine have to beat Russia, and we have to keep helping them.

Trump knows he’s going to stay out of prison. I think he’s running for the money and the fascism.

If you like Gregory Soto, you’ll love Alex Reyes.

Jose Cisnero? Huh.

Much dancing in the Motownforums aisles tonight.

Good news for many here: he’s good as gone.

I gotta believe if the Dodgers can’t fix him, he’s probably unfixable. Pass.

Only if they used the money elsewhere and didn't pocket the cash instead, which I would guess is more likely.

The Big City is lagging behind, at least where I go grocery shopping. Prices didn't seem to move up so much this spring and summer while everyone else was complaining about inflation, but in the last two months or so they seem to have really leapt up on CPG. OTOH, Meat and produce prices always wax and wane due to availability. I just got asparagus for 99¢ a pound and Starbucks packaged coffee for $5.99 on sale, down from $11.79. (I cleaned them out!)

I'm pretty sure 37 is part of the joke ...

It's starting to land with me that indicting Trump would be doing the rest of the Republican Party a huge favor. That way they don't have to be the bad guys kicking Trump out—they can hold their hands up to the base and say, hey guys, we don't want this either, but it's the Deep State and they have all the cops, so what can we do? The only wild card is whether they can herd those Trumpiest of red hats into DeSantis's corral.

If Garland wants to convict Trump, he has to have enough evidence in hand before he indicts. It's probably why Garland didn't indict Trump the day he was appointed. Had he done so and lost because his case wasn't buttoned down, it would probably go down as the biggest swing-and-miss in Justice history.

Looks like the Tigers are all in on the soft-tossing, low-strikeout, hard-hit, run-yielding Tyler Alexander Experience! But hey, we got him kinda sorta cheap. 😁

Longoria has not produced what Candelario is projected to produce since 2017.

Two things about that spot: They should have washed out the color on the Trump clip, if not made it in black and white. There is a danger that this very spot will motivate Republican voters because their still hero appears in it looking like a normal politician.

They absolutely did consult, and the recommendation to change it to “K” was approved.

I’ve been noticing that on most channels in the past couple years. I have DTV, so I’ve been wondering whether the dish, which sits on my deck, has shifted as the deck as shifted into the ground. It has been there since 2002, after all … We were trying to watch an episode of White Lotus recently, and the pixelation on the DTV box was so persistent we actually quit it, moved over to the Apple TV unit, called up HBO MAX, and finished watching the episode there.
