Fire Bell because he can't coach a minor league team into major league wins? This lineup is terrible. Nobody is winning with this lineup.

With the big changes CCH will only win 25 games.

Is there something we should be able to see in that video?

Think about this. With that many steals, Elly should definitely be leading the league in runs, right? Especially considering he has hit 9 home runs. Yet he is seventh in runs in the NL. That tells a story about the Reds offense.

Yowza! What a win! Go Tigers!

Great game by Abbott last night. Unfortunately the injuries keep coming. Fraley hit on the hand by a pitch and had to leave the game. Remember before the season when we were wondering where Bell was going to find at bats for all these guys? Now we are watching Mike Ford play every night. That great depth evaporated in a flash.

Good job CW.

Agree. I look for a better game 2 for the Celtics.

Who will get more preferential treatment: Scheffler or the police officer?

I've been a Boston fan since Nate Archibald played there so we'll be on opposite sides of that one.

The conspiracy theory crowd is going to need to work overtime on this playoff season. New York is out. No NY; No LA; No Philly; No Chicago. Indianapolis and Minneapolis are in? What are the NBA and their refs up to?

Relying on young players at the heart of your team is a roll of the dice. Had Elly at the plate two different times late in the game with runners at 2nd and 3rd and he struck out. Steer also up in one of those situations and couldn't get the key hit needed, although he worked a walk after fouling off 3 or 4 pitches that he should have crushed. He actually did crush one but pulled it foul.

It's a bit of a joke, and a comment on how there is a conspiracy theory for everything. I believe there was a post talking about some conspiracy theory that started me down this path.

Sure. He probably didn't really have a cardiac incident either. "They" faked it all.

At intake, they do a record review don't they? Clean record, no serious injuries involved, over crowded jails, no risk of not showing up for court ... I think any of us get out on OR or bond. And I will throw this back at the celebrity issue. On the other side there is the police officer involved issue. I think the only reason any of us would not get out is because it is a police officer that was involved. And the courts will protect the police - and rightfully so in almost every case.
