Exactly. I have no sympathy for anyone who has the twenty dollars to subscribe to MLB Audio and hack an audio overlay, yet still subjects themselves to Shep and Old Player instead and then comes in here and whines about how bad they are. What the hell do you expect, amirite. I mean—I’m not saying stop. It’s entertaining to see posters whinge about things completely within their control. I’m just saying, come on, if you hate it so bad, take a little initiative here.

It’d be nice to see Soto bust right-handed hitters at 99+ up in Zone 1 every so often, except he’s got little enough command that the ball would go way up into Zone 11 and end up separating some guy’s jaw from the rest of his head.

Don’t look now, but in his last eight appearances going back to May 13, Gregory Soto has pitched 7-2/3 innings and given up no runs on four hits and one walk (!) to earn five saves, a hold, and a win. The only thing I can ding him on is he’s gotten only four strikeouts, but hey—can’t argue with those kinds of results.

So what?

Is that one of the reasons he’s your former boss?

That’s what I mean. It wasn’t a close play. My early take on TORK! is that he’s a hothead, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see him get into some kerfuffles with opponents … perhaps even teammates.

You can also definitely make a strategic blunder by concentrating on building and perfecting your pitching while letting the hitting chips fall wherever.

Lange? I don’t know, that why I said maybe.

Wow, TORK! really winged that one over to Lange. A little frustration at him, maybe?

Sun got in Willi’s eyes on that one … 😏

Even worse: the Tigers are the only team with a DH to “achieve” this dubious distinction.

I do think the 2022 Tigers seriously challenges the maxim “you can never have too much pitching”.

Generous call to give TORK! the single there. He would have been out with an on-target throw. Schoop getting into that rundown made a difference for Jeimer scoring on that play since he’d gotten to second. Willi with the run-scoring single to score TORK! And now Bert’s got his six runs!

Big fan of this term here.

What a fortuitously great view of that Schoop triple from behind the plate.

I know this is super uncool to say, but Republicans really do benefit politically from mass shootings. It highlights political divisions which energizes the 2A absolutists who vote for them and empowers the NRA, the source of many of their political donations. I really do believe that the tremendous increase in NRA power over the past couple of decades has its roots in the way they politicized Columbine.

Here's another list: all the teams in big league history who have scored 125 runs or less in their first 46 games of the season: The run-scoring futility is almost impressive.

We should definitely DFA Javy Baez and sign Dallas Keuchel to play shortstop.

If the states continue to ossify politically, basically split right down the middle between red states and blue states, I don’t see how we could ever got another constitutional amendment passed.

Imagine how bad it would be had they not beat the Rockies 13-0!

Check out how this current Tigers team compares against all the teams in big league history that averaged fewer than three runs per game for an entire season. What jumps out at me is how much ground we have to make up to get even to 3.

Wrong. You simply can’t grasp his complex concept, and that’s on you.

Sure, that’s true of anyone who has a background of religious education. But I would bet a lot of people who are at their essence simply reflexively opposed to liberals as people and who signed up for the Christian team in the last few years as a result, having had nary a shred of serious religious education, might very well believe that “God’s plan” means he controls every little movement on earth, down to where a fly buzzing around in a house on the northwest side of Schenectady, New York, will fly next. Sure he might have a plan, which brings me back to the point that if God does have a plan, and he allows a creation of his with puny power to thwart that plan at will, he really can’t be omnipotent.

I wonder whether the prosecutor will have the grandfather testify against the grandson so we can teach kids about taking personal responsibility …
