The last four games a team pitched a shutout without recording a strikeout:

2006 Tigers 🐅
2012 Cleveland
2014 Tigers 🐅
2026 Tigers (today) 🐅

A bizarre feat for Detroit!

Massive weekend for the Tigs out in San Francisco. Giants out of the race. Need to win the series. Sweep would be nice obviously. Guardians are in Chicago, and the Twins are in Milwaukee. If all breaks right, we could jump the Twins for good and be just a game back of CHW/CLE

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

It’s ALS Awareness Month

Gehrig Day is a month from today, but today is an important day as well

It was on this day in 1939 that Lou Gehrig took himself out of the lineup, ending his then-record consecutive games streak and his career

125 years ago today (April 25, 1901) marked the first game in Detroit Tigers franchise history.

We trailed Milwaukee by a 13-4 margin heading into the bottom of the 9th inning, before scoring 10 runs for a 14-13 walkoff win.

Mike Valenti on if he believes the Pool Report that said the league did NOT buzz down to the refs to take away the Goff TD:

“Explain this to me — Was a flag thrown on the play? No. So is that penalty reviewable? No. So why did 90 seconds go by & then magically we are going to have a bonfire & roast marshmallows? We’re gonna talk this through. I’ll tell you why — because New York buzzed down.”

@damiEnbowman I think I have finally learned my lesson to not talk any sort of smack about our baseball teams 😮‍💨 😅
