That’s provided he shows up. One of the worst contracts ever, for so many reasons.

i correctly predicted that Eduardo "I don't want to go to LA because it is too far from my family in Florida" Rodriguez

would sign with a NL West team (though I thought it would be SD)

I know for a fact that I went to two games he pitched and in one he was pretty serviceable and in the other there was much pain and anguish in the stadium.

very similar!

[oblong]

I feel like I went to every Mike Pelfrey and Jordan Zimmerman start ever made at Comerica Park.

This probably helps our cause

And not even mostly because of his performance

I am wondering how deep the gambling rot among players must be if Baseball is getting out in front of the overall story like this.

Andy Ibanez is taking drills in Detroit...no corresponding move reported yet. It's either Jahmai Jones or someone going on the IL.

Gambling and (sports) baseball....lie down with dogs and wake up with fleas.

It's supposed to stop raining around 6 PM or so. But it sure got dark here.

I hesitate to respond to this remark…

I’m envious of all the games the rest of you have seen. The only game I’ve ever seen at Comerica was August 5, 2019 as a guest of our esteemed leader @MotownWebGuy who quite honestly treated me like a king. What a guy! We are fortunate to have him on our side and make this extraordinary playground available to us.

It was a great time. It was an ordinary night game that lasted 3:41 minutes. Remember how long games used to be? 

It was the JaCoby Jones, Niko Goodrum era. Jake was the catcher. Miggy hit into his 14th double play of the year. Turnbull started and only lasted three innings. Gregory Soto took the loss in long relief. Jones hit a triple and a home run. The Tigers lost to the White Sox 7–4. And yes, the White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson treated us like we were his b*tch. The Tigers record at the time was 32–77.

We labor under much better circumstances today.
