I'm one away on the Sosa HRs. None of those guys were traded. 6 more wins in eminently doable. Colson has his 2 bWAR and then some.

I'm so ready to eat some yum-yum crow.

The Tigers had 7 losing seasons from 2017-2023, bottoming out at 114 losses in 2019. Their low finishes allowed them to draft Casey Mise (1;1) in 2018, Riley Green (1;5) in 2019, Spencer Torkelson (1;1) in 2020, Jackson Jobe (1;3) in 2021, Jace Jung (1;12) in 2022, OF Max Clark (1;3) in 2023, and Bryce Ranier (1;11) in 2024. I'm not going to do all 4, but the Tigers and Royals have bottomed out, lost a lot, and built from within. The Twins and Indians have also built through the draft, while taking advantage of having 3 doormat teams in the division.

I think this is warranted:

The Twins are still a nice offensive team, and we outhit them. I called them a AAA team and was roundly mocked for it, but those guys can hit. If they had a bullpen, they'd be a 79-83 team.

Venable's got these guys wanting to run through walls. And he ain't no Ditka, berating them all day. I'm excited.

I think we are. We're spotting the other team runs every game, and we're still pounding them. Next year, they get serious.

You really have to wonder about the fundamentals that Milwaukee and Boston work on. Getz is going to have to instill a whole development plan to unlearn all the bad fundamentals the rest of the league teaches their players.

That's what they call a Hamtramck Hammock!

Okay, Sparky Leasure. Bring us home!

C'mon, Nails Leasure

At least he didn't lead with his noggin this time.

Gilbert had that at-bat with Malloy.

Technically, Alta Villa translates to "high house".

It's been a while since watching a Sox game and going, "Okay, right here", and the next pitch is a HR.

Meidroth brain fart.

monty!!!!

Jesus Christ, ump. Call 'em right.

Vidi, Veni, Beni

Sinch it up and hunker down, Chase.

Old friend Bailey Horn.

Fletcher's 2nd double. Trade won.

He pitched yesterday. Ellard was only the opener.
