How can this be? The mask requirement was dropped on Monday, April 18, the date under the headlines is April 11, the tweet doesn't link to an artic ... Oh, wait a minute ... it's a joke! By a comedian! Ah ha ha ha ha ha! Hilarious.

I can’t stop hearing this in my head every time I see this thread title.

I agree with this, and I also get the sense that no one has to force Craig to be like this. This is who he’s always going to be. He seems like a natural fit for MLB Network.

I am just over the hump on a bad head cold that started Monday. It was my first one in probably three or so years. Boy, that was a good run. I took a home COVID test. It was literally the first COVID test Ive taken. No line on the right side under the T, so according to the test anyway, no COVID. Although, in a weird way, I was hoping for a positive, assuming this is BA.2 and then I should be immune to it afterward. God, the stupid things that leap into your brain when you’re sick …

And powerfully delivered. Wow.

Dan has always been great about calling a spade a spade, and at those times when Dan gets critical of what he sees in the field, I can almost hear the wheels spinning in Monroe’s head as he tries to figure out what to say to put a positive spin on it all. I can imagine him thinking about Dan, “Jeez, what team is this guy even on?”
-
I agree he’s been doing that for a long time, but I’ll take that plus decent analysis over bland PR and fan-like boosterism seven days out of seven.

To my way of thinking, Price is at least a standard deviation better than Monroe, mainly because I value honesty in analysis, which Price provides and Monroe either doesn’t feel he can, or is constitutionally unable to provide.

Well, sure he just shows up and talks about himself. You don’t tell a Hall of Famer what to do. I will grant that C-Mo is the best of the bunch, although that’s a bit like saying Akil Baddoo is your team’s best hitter—it doesn’t mean so much on a team that generally can’t hit. My specific issue with C-Mo is he talks like he’s still in the clubhouse, using clubhouse nicknames for the players, which makes me roll my eyes; he’s a “let’s go, boys!” rooter behind the mic, which makes me roll my eyes; and he’s basically a PR manager for the players, spinning anything that’s suboptimal into bland positives because hey, he’s gotta see those guys the next day.
-
If Craig Monroe becomes the permanent analyst on radio with Dan, I think it’ll take the quality of the broadcast down at least a full notch. C-Mo is still in clubhouse mode, maybe for good.

TBF, Cole knocked himself around.
-
Which base?
-
Gerrit Cole is a whiny bitch, and MLB Network is a whiny bitch Yankee-fluffing network.
-
LOL, so funny that you should say exactly that!
-
Well, he is kind of a lumbering oaf when he runs bases, which makes his above-average play at second base interesting.
-
Javy would have slid around that tag at the plate.
-
Thankfully, not at all.
-
Hey, what d’you know, Schoop with another walk! So what’s the deal with that shitty strikeout in the second?
-
Looks like Schoop has hit his limit for drawing walks for the week. He could be standing on first right now without having lifted the bat off his shoulders, since Steve Zahn couldn’t find the strike zone, either.
-
MLB Network is gonna go apeshit over the collapse of Gerrit Cole for the next five days.
-
Meadows has got to be Cole’s last hitter.
-
Man, what great takes by Tiger hitters this inning.
-
Good non-AB by Robbie there. Terrible throw by LF. If it was on the money it may well have been an out at the plate.
-
Holy Toledo, that was the best at bat by a Tigers hitter since I don’t know when. And it was Willi Castro against Gerrit Cole!
