Quick Thread:

If you have watched any of Tigers 3B/SS Kevin McGonigle's early season ABs, you likely have been quite impressed.

With the help of Synergy Sports, a quick look at just how good he's been.

Here are all the pitches McGonigle has seen so far.

Down to Seider just absorbing/shrugging off the contact at the end. Deserves serious Norris + Hart love this year

[Festivus Web @FestivusWeb]

Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it.

Back when times were simpler...

This 2009 Stanley Cup Game 7 Intro was legendary

[Festivus Web @FestivusWeb]

Little known fact is how George Lucas considered an alternate plot line to "Star Wars" where "Festivus" replaced the "Force". It didn't work out when Frank Costanza got angry at Lucas, accusing him of using the stopping short move on Estelle.

[JJ Cooper @jjcoop36]

Looking back over six seasons of MiLB analytical data, I can't find one hitting prospect who matched McGonigle's blend of elite power (exit velocity metrics), contact (miss and in-zone miss) and swing decisions (chase% and swing-chase%0).

And as the story shows, there's more...

On this day 50 years ago, in 1975, Queen released "Bohemian Rhapsody"

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Celebrating 50 years of the iconic "Bohemian Rhapsody" 🎂

Making the most-streamed song from the 20th century took ambition, hard work, and a dash of opera.

Roger Taylor and Brian May sat down with Rolling Stone in their homes in the English countryside to reflect on Queen’s masterpiece: https://t.co/G4IEhmzMuG

I know for a fact these guys refused to play and sing to a track and lip synch on this , much like all the other “talent” did in this show. Real artists playing real live rock, what a concept …

NHL draft is underway and Wings are picking 13th. Or trading. Not sure why people are so antsy. Wings have made the playoffs 25 times in the past 34 years. Helluva percentage.

@BruceKamich In fairness, Cramer has been saying $200 for a while now.
