Brad Holmes has been an excellent drafter But he traded up to take Jameson Williams 12th overall in 2022 Pickens’ price was depressed—“character” BS—he went 52nd Greg Cosell among others liked Pickens > Jamo Lions still don’t have a true X WR

Okay, so this should be solved next year— Except with a 2 challenge system only instigated by players, they could very easily use them before the 7th or 9th inning Just make it full abs at least for the playoffs

#lookandsee #musicchallenge It’s already as heavy as it can be youtu.be/o0AOG7ciuJo

The Mariners deserved to win Seattle had lineup holes and plugged them- Naylor was the game 5 MVP Harris/Ilitch went cheap and added 7 middling pitchers - one was DFA’d - 3 were left off the ALDS roster - 2 weren’t trusted enough to use - Finnegan allowed a run in game 2, 4 and 5.

Thanks Adam Amin for calling out Aurelio Lopez as the OG “senior smoke” (Also it isn’t “lefty,” we shouldn’t be recycling specific nicknames)

Why in life was Gleyber — your no 2 hitter with some ownage on Kirby — bunting on 0-1

Eagles are an abomination “Oh well why don’t you figure out how to stop it, huh huh??” You couldn’t beat the shift in baseball either. It sucked to watch. Harden ball in the nba. Etc etc. Leagues change rules for aesthetic reasons all the time x.com/NFL/status/1...

Skubal threw fewest changeups in a game on Sunday (22%) This was intentional by DET Mariners were 3rd in wOBA & wRC+ vs LH CH They also K’d 3rd most vs LH CH Polanco HR came on a slider and sinker; the latter is only Skubal pitch with a .208+ BAA Dance with the pitch that brought ya

Shota HR issues this season FB% up 10% HR/FB% up 1.4% Brl% up 3% More fly balls and more of them went out FF down 1 mph (91.9 -> 90.8) FF SLG: .470 -> .578 Splitter location = didn’t drop as much (‘24 v ‘25 heat maps) SLG up 100 pts Splitter SwStr%: 26% -> 19% Watch for spring velo

Ohtani struck out looking on a L v L changeup We wrote about his susceptibility to this pitch in a (still relevant!) playoff preview: open.substack.com/pub/michaelc...

Yeah, we definitely don’t want to limit opportunities for these petty bullies to make mistakes, influence outcomes, and toss guys for little reason

Congratulations, Ohioans! You elected a president who plans to destroy our only national forest! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A capitalist society is depraved when every other commercial either targets the infirm directly for specialty medicines (including for schizophrenia!) or features insurance companies—whose large ad budget is the result of denying as many claims as possible—and almost zero manufactured things

I’m confident McGonigle will hit, but I’ll be damned if every Tigers prospect isn’t modeled on Gleyber Torres’ frame/fitness plan. Detroit’s 77 SB attempts last by a mile (Giants 92) Hinch teams ran with Houston but they had the personnel to do it

#lookandsee #musicchallenge Lou Reed— youtu.be/aqW6vFc2VEY

#genreroulette #musicchallenge #blues There’s an incredible Cale record - just him, Leon Russell and a killer band youtu.be/Dgk3GpZEJEw

The Tigers set a playoff record by taking 17,563 first pitch strikes

Hinch has a lot more confidence in Finnegan than I do Of course it would’ve helped if the Tigers didn’t take every first strike

Ok but listen, Egbuka’s separation score only ranked 53rd this week

I know 80s mustaches, jeans, whatever are new again But why are we recycling the (questionable) Aurelio Lopez nickname for Andres Munoz just because he’s Mexican and throws hard

“Ooo but we want the human element” Missed a bunch low. Missed a bunch high. #consistent

You’d think if 10 cars were ramming a military vehicle and someone brandished a gun, you’d want to release some video to justify shooting a us citizen. Or are body cams just set to “off” for some surely legitimate reason

Meadows and carpenter had to overcome not just Kirby but negative counts on multiple balls called strikes

Love Sanchez but is it even the best changeup in the world? Phillies SP have 3 of top 13 CH

The Phillies sans Wheeler are not quite the Dodgers equal on paper But- PHI starting 3 nasty lefties (Sanchez, Suarez, Luzardo) Since July 1, LAD v LHP: .319 wOBA (13th) 104 wRC+ (14th) .423 SLG (9th) 23.7% K (11th most) Those are even worse on road

So the @theathletic.com and @fangraphs.com staff picks have Philly v Seattle as a WS near inevitability 1/25 FG writer picked LAD to win WS Almost like Philly didn’t lose a 6-WAR starter (some Wheeler guy) Dodgers had the best team ERA in 2nd half and are fully healthy

The Reds waited about 3 homers too long for a mound visit Greene never been in a spot like this, he’s yanking the ball, a wild pitch put guys at 2nd & 3rd Catcher, manager, pitching coach, ball boy- send anybody to give him a reset

Boone makes mistakes (they all do) But it’s important to remember he does not sit down, look at FanGraphs splits, and “make out the lineup card” Most FO have a heavy hand in LU composition

Pretty ridic to make a low ball offer to extend YOUR ace Guys like this don’t just appear Team record in starts: Skubal: 24-7 (others: 63-68) Crochet: 23-9 (others: 66-64) Fried: 22-10 (others: 72-58) Since 2024 Tigers are +27 when Skubal starts and -7 when he doesn’t x.com/tigers/statu...

Yes, James Wood strikes out too much (32%) But 12.3% SwK and 27% o-swing% indicate better skills The plate discipline looks a lot like… Roman Anthony Letting hittable pitches pass: Wood 20th% Anthony 21st% Both 12%+ BB, 49%+ GB Anthony HR/FB: 15% Wood: 31%
