  1. Given that he makes roughly $5,000 per pitch already, a defense that he was coerced is an easy sell…
  2. Then why didn’t he like “The Neverending Story”? I mean besides the obvious reasons that no one did…
  3. If you go outside, don’t forget your motorcycle helmet or steel parasol. Or both…
  4. Sorry. I tried to keep the Furry Party platform out of it…
  5. The extension is not part of the trade. And Detroit didnt have to allow you a window to negotiate one. In fact, they likely don’t give you one, because no one does that anymore. Kick the tires? Sure. Trade Duran to Philly (is Cleveland still going for it?) for SS Aiden Miller and send Miller and LHP Kyle Harrison to Detroit. I’m ok with it. Is Detroit, however? (Is Philly?)
  6. Florida is also a state that allows you to cough all over a man while beating him with frozen iguanas. And they view that as routine. It probably has its own 3 digit police code…
  7. He bought the Penguins. Clearly the man has suffered enough…
  8. There are rumblings surrounding any potential free agent. And sometimes rumblings around any star player on a small market team regardless of years. See Greene, Hunter and Skenes, Paul. At a minimum, if they move him, Duran is off their wishlist. Would you give up Early, Campbell abd Romero for one year of Skubal?
  9. Into anthropomorphic animal cosplay with other like individuals. G-rated enough?
  10. I expect both players to be acquitted in court and to be banned by MLB…
  11. I don’t expect Arraez, but I am glad to see the care for him. I think his days are 2b might be done however…
  12. As hard as it gets to believe, some teams occasionally try to win a title. Detroit won 87 games last year, finished second in the AL Central, won a post-season series, and are in a division with 3 opponents either heading the wrong way or just too far out of it. Boston traded Betts after finishing 3rd in the AL East, 19 games out of first, and missing the postseason entirely. These situations are not similar…
  13. You have clearly never met Joe in accounting. Very nice, very reserved. Also a furry…
  14. A strategy that backfired on Minnesota last year. But now at least you’re on your them…
  15. The only gamble is health. But pennant and/or better return makes it worthwhile…
  16. It is if it gets them a title. If Cleveland decides to fold as well, Detroit can walk into the postseason. They’ll be the first team in MLB Broadcast History to have their Magic Number countdown start on Opening Day. This is the wrong year for them to deal Skubal. At least now. It makes infinitely more sense to hold Skubal and reassess the situation on July 31st…
  17. I could see that. But I think King, Gallen and Woodruff are more likely since they’re all coming from down or injury-plagued years. Torres had a mild bounce back season. This does raise the question - why wasn’t Giolito offered a QO?
  18. The correct answer is 23. With Arizona. I put Gallen as the second most likely to accept his qualifying offer, tied with Woodruff, behind only Michael King (I got the 6-7 joke, but not sure how many others did.)
  19. We all agree this is an easy pass. Which brings up the obvious question - so what uniform number does he get?
  20. All the more reason not to get him. An at bat where Mayer steps up against Kopech might be the closest thing to Real Life Thunderdome…
  21. I don’t think us bullying JH will help. He doesn’t listen to me like he used to…
  22. Kopech reminds me a lot of Nolan Ryan. Not sure if it’s the fastball or that each of them has the body of a 78 year-old man…
