Guys, Widows Bay is the best show of the year on TV. My goodness what a wonderful time.

Blessed to live in a world where @BillSimmons has explained the concept of Apex Mountain to Steven Spielberg 😂

[Ryan Hana @RyanHanaWWP]

Less analytical and more emotional response to Larkin requesting a trade: soft.

I get wanting to win. I get pushing Yzerman to add. I get that you're tired of losing.

Still soft. Larkin wasn't free from blame as to why Detroit fell short the past few years.

Soft. #LGRW

Home growing your own talented players is a proven strategy to win a Super Bowl.

Going all in is also a proven strategy to win a Super Bowl.

Acting like there’s a right and wrong way between the two is silly. Both work. Both come with significant risks.

[Justin Rogers | Detroit Football Network @Justin_Rogers]

Lions big moves:

Goff - $53M AAV
Hutchinson - $45M AAV
Sewell - $28M AAV
St. Brown - $30 M AAV
Jack Campbell - $20.5M AAV
Jameson Williams - $26.7M AAV
Alim McNeill - $24.2M AAV
Kerby Joseph - $21.5M AAV

They just came in the form of extending their own talent. I get it, less sexy, but big moves, nonetheless.

Including Garrett, Rams will have four contracts averaging $20M + (Stafford, Garrett, McDuffie, Davante Adams). Just different roster constructions.

[Chris Castellani @Castellani2014]

It’s the single dumbest move that AJ has made as a manager here. You have a starter averaging under 11 pitches per inning saving you from having to use any pieces from your dumpster fire pen.

Pulled after 6. It doesn’t pass the eye test, and it doesn’t really make sense analytically.

[Jeff Riger @riger1984]

Tigers just lost their 8th straight series.

6-21 in May.

Worst record in the AL.

12 games out of 1st.

7.5 games out of a WC spot.

They have 7 guys rocking an OPS under .600.

And, the POBO refuses to do anything to try and help his dying team.

Never seen anything like it.

[Clay Snowden @clay_snowden2]

I have no idea what the answer is for this team right now.

I don't think there's a magical answer ready and waiting in the minors at this exact moment, but I'm willing to find out.

Injuries are an issue but it's deeper than that.

[CFB Kings @CFBKings]

They were upset because 11-2 BYU wasn’t punished EVEN MORE 😂😂😂

10-3 Alabama putting up -3 rushing yards and losing by 21 to Georgia (and also by 14 to 5-7 Florida State and also at home to Oklahoma. Plus, looking awful against 4-8 South Carolina and 5-7 Auburn): GOOD CFP TEAM. ✅

11-2 BYU who lost to the #4 team on the road and at a neutral site: They’re glad the Cougars missed the CFP, but they think BYU should’ve been ranked even FURTHER DOWN than #12, specifically behind 9-3 Texas who lost to 4-8 Florida and by 25 to #3 Georgia. ❌

Genuinely unbelievable.

[Tigers Data @TigersData]

Scott Harris philosophy was to “control the strike zone”

Tigers rank:
1st in NET ABS Challenges
2nd in heart-of-the-plate swing rate
3rd in out-of-zone chase rate

As a team the Tigers control the strike zone better than anyone.

The problem? They aren’t good at the part where you actually need to hit the ball #DNMW

Are we sure Richie Saunders isn’t a first round pick in the 2026 NBA draft? Well, @sam_vecenie has a first round grade on the product of @BYUMBB.

[Jed 🇬🇧 @TigersJUK]

They’re going to have to fully rebuild again. There’s 6? good players on the 40 man roster.

Skubal
Framber
Mize
Riley
McGonigle
Dingler

Two of them will be gone in 5 weeks.

[Chris Castellani @Castellani2014]

Spencer Torkelson had a random hot week in late April where he hit 5 home runs, including 3 at a hitters park in Cincinnati. If you remove that stretch, here’s what his numbers look like.

27-156 (.135 BA)
.257 OBP
.218 SLG
.475 OPS

2 HR
14 RBI
24 walks
61 strikeouts

[Gaz @stoolsalesguy]

I’m 100% behind Big Cat on this take

“Smash burgers are fake.”

I’ll take it a step further and say I have no respect for anyone who chooses a smash over a regular burger.
