Basically lol!

Yeah i played little league in michigan from tee ball to machine pitch, then i moved to california and played little league one year in like 4th grade, then i played baseball sophomore and junior year.

I wish i lived closer to san jose, i wouldve played hockey, but i was about an hour and a half from there and there was no hockey program around my area. They started a roller league a few years ago though. Even though i moved right after, there is a local rink where i live, but im not good enough at skating anymore to play. i've been practicing but its hard to keep up with the guys who have lived here for a long time and been able to skate all these years lol!


Biggest regret in life is that I didn't push my parents harder to let me play hockey lol. I live out in the sticks so closest hockey league was a ways away and my school definitely didn't offer hockey.

I played a little before i moved, and i was good, for a kid. I still have some natural talent, i can burn most of the guys here on blades. They are just better on the ice than i am.

If i didnt move i would've played my entire childhood, assuming my parents let me. I dont see why they wouldnt have though. I lived in Oxford Township, about 20mins from Troy so there was plenty of opportunity for me to play without much travel at all.

But my dad quit his job and found a job at a start-up here in San Francisco, so we had to move. It was hard, especially when i wanted to play hockey but none of the neighborhood kids knew how to play, had no gear or anything, i was often out by myself on the street. and it just wasnt fun so i quit playing and thats about the time i picked up baseball again for a year, since that was what kids around the area played.

Just flipped on the Tigs. Great example of not utilizing small ball.

Iglesias on first, Romine up to bat with nobody out. Guy on mound throws sinkers. Instead of bunting him over or stealing, Romine hits into a double play. Avila and then Miggy were due up next. Avila hits a homer and miggy hits a double then Vmart a single.

Gave up 1, maybe 2 potential runs by letting Romine swing away in a 5-3 game and knowing every insurance run is crucial with their awful bullpen

Lemme know when the lead gets chipped away versus the bullpen so I can tune into the exciting part

I like how they get all their runs every 5th or 6th game. At least in ensures the pen can't ruin that one game. Only guy in the pen I like is the left handed Wilson.

Of course we always have to land a closer who was elite 3 years prior but is past his prime when we get him lol

Yeah, Alex Wilson & Greene are doing a good job as relivers, and justin wilson is doing excellent as a closer. I would be in the market for another quality closer, that way we have a backup option instead of fielding trash when justin wilson cant close.
