lol threatening the FBI, an organization that literally has the word “investigation” in their name.

Back to back jacks. That’s OK, Hutch still has three or four more solo bombs he can give up until it starts being a real problem.

Time for Hutch to pitch to contact even more than he already does, hoping they get themselves out. Didn’t work with Seager just there.

Obviously won’t happen. Miggy will not take one penny less than Papa Doc committed the organization to paying him, and who can blame him? The organization is also not going to simply release Miggy perhaps because they believe the blowback from the fans will be too great to withstand. Whether that’s actually true may be immaterial. Miggy is on record as wanting to play next season, which forces the Tigers’ hand, and the easiest way for them to handle it is suck it up and find ways to minimize the damage of having him on the roster all next year, which can probably already be written off as a lost season. This is the price we have to pay of having an owner who wanted to win no matter the cost, but had no real idea how to do that.

Tigers enter blowout territory going out 6-0 in the 4th. Serves the Rangers right for wearing those stupid powder blues.

Good bases-loaded walk in that Clemens PA.

So maybe someone here knows this, because I don’t: if we go to retain Jeimer for 2023, we will have to go to arbitration with him and he will certainly be due a raise regardless of his replacement level-performance this season. But if we non-tender him, he clears waivers, and then we sign him as a free agent, what is our minimum obligation regarding his comp? Could he be signed for the major league minimum at that point?

And Jeimer with the bomb. Don’t need good wheels to score on that.

Man, does Eric Haase ever have good wheels for a catcher.

Solid rip by Baez off the slider from the right-hander.

I really dislike this trend of wearing 1980s road blues at home in the 2020s to goose jersey sales, and I would like the blow the Rangers off the field as punishment for it.

Ten runs? What happened? Did they finally fire Coolbaugh?

If DOJ doesn't indict—if we go through all we have the past few months and nothing happens—then that's ballgame. Trump wins, democracy dies, and the fascists will be in control within three years, tops.

The article also made these two points: when controlling for velocity, breaking pitches are more stressful of joints than fastballs. Of course no one throws their slider or curveball as fast as their four-seamer, but this would suggest that those pitches with less separation between the two are more susceptible to problems arising from throwing a hard breaking pitch versus their four-seamer. How the various pitches are thrown also drives how much stress is distributed throughout the throwing limb. They point out that curveballs “are often held in forearm supination for longer than fastballs … [it’s also] very possible that how the stress is distributed within the elbow as the throw is occurring causes issues … [more importantly,] we also don’t know how stress increases as one pitcher throws 75 MPH vs 90 MPH. When a pitcher is warming up, what is the stress on his arm when he is throwing at 65 MPH? At 80 MPH? 90 MPH? Maybe knowing how that relationship changes will give us a better idea of how offspeed pitches are different than fastballs.“ So of course it’s not as simple as 100% fastball velocity or 100% offspeed torq … er, arm-twisting. 😁 And they tacitly admit that more study is needed. I wonder whether anything has been published in the 5-1/2 years since this was put out?

Well, whenever middle school bullies take over any organization, would else would we expect?

Could it be both?

It’s easy if everything you ever hear or read about him is glowing praise.

Well, if it’s Uncle Vladdy, then why all the subterfuge? All she ever had to do is just ask!

There sure are a lot of one-eyed kings in that party.

Maybe Hillary’s emails can tell us what’s on Hunter’s laptop.

What's "Tix Tock"? Sounds like a Russian knockoff of this one Chinese app called Tik Tok. Am I close? 😉 I'm not as surprised that it took some time to gain any momentum as I am that it is gaining any momentum at all. As gravely as we here regard the attacks on democracy happening right in plain sight of our eyes, I still imagined that the vast majority of the American people not posting in this political forum, especially those not particularly engaged in politics, have no real clue what is happening. I imagined they are all too wrapped up in Tik Tok videos and sports betting and online shopping to pay much attention. As long as those three things are still available, who cares what the stupid government looks like? That's for punchable debate nerds to care about. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Hope so.
