Army Sec Dan Driscoll met with Trump and explained the Iran war was making FP goals impossible. Trump started ranting about the ballroom. Driscoll resigned shortly after. This is a tough muddle* - By Daytripper September 2, 2026 at 03:14:35 PM

Crossing the streams, I think the 1984 Tigers were similar to the 2004 Pistons in that they were teams that had a whole bunch of minor stars and no real superstar - By Paul September 2, 2026 at 02:17:24 PM
- Alan Trammell was 4th in league WAR, Chet Lemon was 7th, and Willie Hernandez had one of the best seasons for a closer in the history of the game to that point. Like the Pistons, tho, I don’t think their true greatness was recognized until the analytics-era** - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 02:41:34 PM
  - 4th in bWAR despite missing 20 games. The thing I’m going to harp on is that it’s not just WAR. In 1984 Trammell hit .314/.382/.468 - By brick September 2, 2026 at 02:49:00 PM
    - His getting robbed of the 87 MVP by George Bell made a big difference I think* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 02:54:17 PM
      - Ev’s hot take: Wade Boggs should’ve been MVP that year. Not trammell or bell.* - By Ev September 2, 2026 at 03:21:19 PM
      - Agree* - By brick September 2, 2026 at 02:59:16 PM
        
        Man, he hit .343!! 953 OPS to 957 for Bell while playing SS. - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 03:03:26 PM
        
        NL vote that year was bad too, though Dawson was a very sympathetic figure - By brick September 2, 2026 at 03:18:08 PM
- Trammell was a superstar and should’ve been considered one at the time - By brick September 2, 2026 at 02:21:48 PM
  - Unfortunately Tram decided to have his best season the same year Cal Ripken had one of the top-5 seasons of all time for a shortstop* - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 02:44:32 PM
    - Ripken OPS+ 112, Trammell 110. GG 4-2 Tram. Ripken first ballot, Trammell had to wait for old timers - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 02:59:26 PM
      - The meta-narrative for you and Paul. In the Whitaker/Tranmell/Lemon era, the Tigers’ pitchers consistently had ERAs that were below, often WELL below their FIPs (eg 1984; 3.74 FIP, 3.49 ERA). They also usually had excellent - By brick September 2, 2026 at 03:08:58 PM
        
        No doubt the Tiger D was strong up the middle. Not great on the edges though but middle matters more - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 03:19:37 PM

For your consideration: Alan Trammell vs Barry Larkin. - By brick September 2, 2026 at 01:25:04 PM
- Baseball has been very good to me - JOSE RIJO* - By Cincywolve September 2, 2026 at 02:27:47 PM
- Great stats but your conclusion is asinine - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:32:18 PM
  - If Morris's fame hurt Trammell, it was all after he had left the Tigers and pitched with the Twins. That's his most "famous" time- when he pitched a CG shutout vs. the Braves in the WS.* - By mjhollen September 2, 2026 at 03:59:58 PM
  - For some reason Larkin was a guy who had star buzz around himra from the beginning of his career in a way that Trammell didn't T - By Paul September 2, 2026 at 02:05:24 PM
    - I think brick is fractionally correct in that Trammell shared the spotlight in Detroit with Whitaker, Gibson, Morris and Parrish (not to mention the crazy Willie Hernandez year). Larkin in Cincinnati was pretty much it... - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 02:07:47 PM
      - Up to 91, Eric Davis was the perceived star on the Reds.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 02:21:22 PM
        
        Eric Davis and the bullpen. Chris Sabo got attention for his goggles * - By brick September 2, 2026 at 02:23:17 PM
        
        IIRC, Hal Morris was also a dude. He and Sabo (and Larkin), are M alums.* - By BigLake September 2, 2026 at 02:32:34 PM
  - Disagree with your assessment of the media perception, both contemporaneously and subsequently - By brick September 2, 2026 at 02:02:09 PM
    - You provide zero evidence.* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 02:05:59 PM
      - I can post article highlighting Morris, but here’s the thing; even with nothing more, my explanation fits the data better than any other explanation - By brick September 2, 2026 at 02:24:57 PM
        
        What credit are you talking about? His HOF Old Timer election 30 years later?* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 02:35:02 PM
  - Following up, here are the Tigers of the Year from 78-92 (Tiger MVP voted by local media) - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:53:24 PM
  - The first tier was smaller than that: Gibson, Tram, Morris. And of that group Morris was the most celebrated during the pre-analytics era. Agree that brick’s conclusion was a reach, tho** - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 01:43:22 PM
    - Parrish was more celebrated than Gibson nationally. Even locally. Gibson never made an All Star game. Parrish was the best catcher in the AL for a few years* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:46:03 PM
      - Not true. Gibson was 6th in MVP voting in 1984 (4th among position players). Parrish was 16th. Also, Gibson’s WAR shouldn’t even have had him in the top-15. Tram’s was 6.8 that year (he arguably should have been AL MVP). Gibson got more attention from fans/the media b/c he was a charismatic … - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 01:53:19 PM
        
        Gibson had charisma and local following but OTOH Parrish was an 8 time All Star and Gibson was selected zero times. So how well was he really viewed?* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:59:47 PM
        
        The options for all star catchers in the AL in the 80s were unusually shitty: Rich German, Terry Kennedy, Matt f’in Nokes, Tim Laudner, Terry Steinbaxh, etc. Meanwhile Gibson was competing with Reggie Jackson, Winfield, Puckett, Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice, Canseco, Baines…** - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 02:28:22 PM
        
        Carlton Fisk.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 02:33:05 PM
  - Disagree, perception was that Morris was a big game pitcher and a bulldog which over shadowed the actual stats. That was local and national.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 01:42:35 PM
    - That perception came about later in his career. Do you think that perception impacted HoF voting for anyone other than Morris himself, tho?* - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 01:45:04 PM
      - That is incorrect, he was considered that while on the Tigers. Did it help others? Not off the top of my head, Schilling had a similar perception.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 01:53:57 PM
        
        Ok, let’s define terms: I took you to be saying Morris had the same reputation as the ultimate big game starter in Detroit as he did by the end of his career. That’s not true. He was viewed as an ace, but the big game mystique wasn’t a thing until 1991, when he started 3 games in the World Series* - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 02:11:30 PM
        
        He was viewed as a bulldog but Gibson had a similar perception. Also Parrish and Trammell were viewed as tremendous leaders. Whitaker, Lemon, Petry, et al not in the same way* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:55:33 PM
      - Morris didn't make it in in the regular 15 year period either. * - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:46:46 PM
    - That's different than saying he overshadowed Trammell. Trammell was the WS MVP in 84! * - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:45:00 PM
      - Morris mythology is as much a product of his post-Tigers’ career as anything* - By Brad September 2, 2026 at 01:46:14 PM

- The pride of Portland, Oregon* - By gratefultread September 2, 2026 at 01:23:58 PM
- Lolich by a lot. I’m not sure that’s even close, you know? - By brick September 2, 2026 at 12:40:08 PM
  - Closer than that. Lolich's '68 series was epic, but Morris was on three WS-winning teams and was an MVP of one as well. He has more wins, but also the highest ERA of any pitcher in the HoF.* - By BigLake September 2, 2026 at 12:43:27 PM
    - C’mon. Morris’s top 4 seasons vs Lolich’s: - By brick September 2, 2026 at 12:52:41 PM
      - I love Lolich but late 60s/early 70s was a pitcher era/poor hitting. 80s was the opposite* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 12:58:08 PM
        
        Lolich was the better pitcher.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 01:09:52 PM
        
        1968 was, but shortly after that the leagues lowered the mound - By brick September 2, 2026 at 01:02:34 PM
        
        Check 1972. Very low batting averages in the league. The 80s were much more prolific... - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 01:13:58 PM
        
        Lolich was a better pitcher overall, but it's not as if he was dramatically better. He was not.* - By BigLake September 2, 2026 at 01:35:25 PM

Jack Morris's top four seasons compared to some other pitchers' top four seasons: - By brick September 1, 2026 at 11:25:43 PM
- I get the consternation on Morris but he won a ton of games and was very good in the postseason and won 3 titles. There are a lot of worse players in than Morris. What I always fall back on is - By Rich September 1, 2026 at 11:30:58 PM
  - Whitaker deserves before Morris* - By detroitbry September 2, 2026 at 12:49:21 AM

  - Jack Morris's postseason stats: 13 starts, 7-4, 3.80 ERA, 1,245 WHIP, 2.0 K/BB. Compare that to Orel Hershiser: - By brick September 1, 2026 at 11:38:52 PM
    - Those numbers are brought down by 1992. He was dominant in 84 and 91 and his teams possibly/probably don't win w/o him - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 08:43:58 AM
      - Morris had two good postseasons and two terrible postseasons. You can’t say “he was a great postseason pitcher” - By brick September 2, 2026 at 09:11:01 AM
        
        I have long been an advocate of Whitaker and his exclusion has nothing to do with Morris... - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 09:16:36 AM
        
        Whitaker and Trammell were both underrated because so much of the credit that should’ve gone to them went to Morris - By brick September 2, 2026 at 09:30:01 AM
        
        I never got that impression. Morris sure but also Trammell, Gibson and Parrish were all talked about. I do think Whitaker was always ignored* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 09:37:51 AM

  - The exclusions of Bonds and Clemens are stupid* - By Rich September 1, 2026 at 11:31:48 PM

    - indeed, bonds was a HOF even before he was clearly juiced. Clemens yea, same even tho I don't like him. Barry I enjoy as a competitor. I guess Roger was alright too that way. Both assholes in their own way - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:38:46 PM
      - Jack Morris arguably never had as good a season as Roger Clemens' 1996, the year before he went to Toronto - By brick September 1, 2026 at 11:55:57 PM
        
        it was a fun era because I imagine a lot of the pitchers juiced too, or amped. I dunno, it was fun for what it was* - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:57:59 PM

- Generalization: AIs want to generate a response you'll accept, quickly. Accuracy secondary to those.* - By ftb September 1, 2026 at 10:44:02 PM
  - for LLMs yes. for other tasks I'm not so sure. When you simplify the language (like ask it to code) it's better. It is deeply ironic tho that for the vast amount of people using it as a search or chat bot - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 10:49:14 PM
    - I agree AIs respond disproportionately better as you define tasks better, e.g. something to code. Also agree we're breeding ignorance.* - By ftb September 1, 2026 at 11:01:43 PM
      - Feel like for code it’s purposefully long winded and exhaustive to burn tokens* - By harbaughdyssey September 1, 2026 at 11:21:59 PM

    - Yes AI is more complex than chat* - By Cincywolve September 1, 2026 at 10:56:15 PM
      - ai is really good at flowchart decisions with obviously correct decisions. if you ask an IT question, which is mostly flow chart, it's pretty good. I have customers asking me if claude could have fixed their shit - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:00:05 PM
        
        Overall, I've been underwhelmed by AI search/research. A couple helpful sessions, but overall I have found more incorrect responses than correct and a lot of general uselessness* - By Rich September 1, 2026 at 11:24:43 PM

- would you fire Whitt to bring back Jim? * - By Nikos September 1, 2026 at 09:33:54 PM
  - Yes, if we had regents that trated him like Bama treated Saban and we gave JBC a lifetime contract. Any other scenario, no. * - By Scouser September 1, 2026 at 10:53:00 PM
  - No. Might be unfair but it seems like Jim's weirdness will only increase from here, and I think today's college sports requires more organizational focus, dealing with more and more shit that's not actual coaching. If it was too much for Dusty, I think it's too much for Harbaugh now. - By jjwalker September 1, 2026 at 09:43:43 PM
    - Tend to agree but Whit is five years older - By Rich September 1, 2026 at 10:08:47 PM
      - It's not (just) age, it's mentality. Whit seems to go with the flow on the new and chaotic world, and he seems to have strong organizational skills program-wide. Or at least I'm hoping after Mr Eye-on-the-Ball Sherrone.* - By jjwalker September 1, 2026 at 10:56:35 PM
        
        I kind of agree but also didn’t really go with flow at Utah unless getting out was plan all along* - By harbaughdyssey September 1, 2026 at 11:09:48 PM
        
        I just mean accepting the new world of NIL, direct pay, the transfer portal, etc. Maybe that's what you meant too? He seems to say the right things at UM, at least. No desperately yearning for yesteryear that will never happen again.* - By jjwalker September 1, 2026 at 11:20:47 PM
      - Whitt seems pretty sharp, but also, time waits for no man. We'll know a helluva lot more how his tenure - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 10:52:16 PM
  - I am very curious about Jim without Warde. But another transition so quickly would be wrenching and Jim might struggle with the NIL world.* - By ftb September 1, 2026 at 09:38:51 PM
  - Harbaugh was the perfect man for a certain slice of time. That period is over now. (nm) - By suede September 1, 2026 at 09:37:31 PM
    - I have no doubt he would have kept winning at a high rate if UM had backed him and kept him here* - By mtb September 2, 2026 at 09:49:54 AM
    - Paige was the perfect executive assistant for a particular piece of time. I wish her well, but it's time to move on.* - By jjwalker September 1, 2026 at 09:45:27 PM
