The problem will be commensurate with comparing apples and oranges. Though individual player talent among star Negro League players are likely on a par with MLB, there'll always be the question of overall player talent and level of competition.

RIP Bill Walton

I'm wondering if the new rules allowing college athletes to be paid will make for future NCAA basketball dynasties such as John Wooden's UCLA. Will there be the equivalent of a "salary cap"?

It’s been a few weeks since Xfinity pulled the plug on Bally. The chatter seems to have quieted down. Do you think: A) people have moved on with their lives and found something different to occupy the time that used to be spent watching the Tigers? B) people have adapted/purchased the Bally app C) ...

I would love to see video of the offense in question, but I've been unable to find any.

Apparently the officer didn't have his body cam on.

Tigers 8 Arizona 3

7th inning we completely came alive and batted around, scoring 6 runs that inning

For a moment I was thinking, here we go again! Flaherty pitches shutout ball and we can't give him a single run. So glad he got the win.

Detroit 13, Arizona 0.

Skubal gave up one hit in six innings.

Skubal gets thirteen runs and the rest of the rotation gets zippo. It just ain't fair, I tell ya!

I don't believe it, nine innings of shutout ball and we lose 1-0 in ten. How often can great pitching hold up to this? Tonight's victim, Reese Olson who went eight innings striking out six with zero walks. Rookie call-up Wenceel Perez had two of the Tigers' four hits.

Had to do it. LFG! Agreed. He's earned it, and I say that as a former Goff skeptic! Lions absolutely need to be in WIN NOW mode and do everything necessary to keep the nucleus intact. This extension definitely aligns with such a strategy. They were one half of football away from "The Big Game". You...

What, no TORK REPORT?

We'll have to put the analytics boys on this one, comparing the exit velocity, launch rate, humidity, temperature, stadium noise level, concession sales, and fan wi-fi usage at the time of his two home runs compared to all of his other at-bats.

What, no TORK REPORT?

If it's held outside and it's anything like the annual Polish Festival, you could probably hear it from my house. I'll charge only $35 and BYOB.

I'd love to see the Tigers send Torkelson, Meadows, and Keith down to Toledo at the same time, so that none of them feels like a scapegoat for the poor tea...

Well, well, well. Yet another reason emerges to "cut the cord". I'm going to hang on to "the cord" till my agreement expires, and then...?

In the nightcap, our boys just blew a 4-0 lead. I think I'll watch Star Trek instead.

The Tigers lost 2-1.

Gawd! I hate wasting a great pitching effort!
