Shot clock violation out of a time out? Ugh….

All those that thought tie game with 4 minutes left, please stop lying.

The Lakers lost in Atlanta last night, falling to 24-25. That's still good enough for a play in game. Any idea if they can trade in their mid season tournament banner to automatically zip ahead to the first round?

Which is better than Hayes' ceiling.

Still can't get your OnlyFans page reinstated?

I wouldn’t write him off after 145 PAs. But I think there should be some wait and see yet. He’s clearly the best defensive CF option on what isn’t a strong defensive team. But the problem is they also need offense where they can scrape it from. It’s not exactly a deep lineup. I know there’s lots of hope for the rookie IFs to make solid debuts and for the younger players to stay healthy keep trending upwards and for Canha to be solid despite aging and for Baez to do something at the plate and for 3B to not be an offensive hole…. There’s a lot of ifs and they ain’t all going to go the right way. But just how many will work out favorably?

I’m not sure Sasser should be starting. But we know what Hayes is and it’s not going to help with winning in the present or future. Sasser should be getting minutes ahead of Hayes.

I think the defense could be troublesome.

I think I remember this correctly. Hayes started the game (yes). Morris came in when Hayes sat in the 1st (yes). Sasser came in when Morris went to the bench in the 2nd and that's when Detroit erased the deficit and pulled ahead for good (I think). Maybe its something, maybe its nothing. But play Sasser over Hayes just the same.

The more I think about it, the more I worry about the Tigers banking too much on Meadows as the primary CF. If his bat still needs work, they could go with Greene and Vierling in CF, sure. But what are the unintended consequences from that? The CF defense suffers, possibly more wear and tear on Greene, 3B becomes a bit more questionable, although that seems to be more quantity than quality of options right now anyway. Can they force Meadows and Malloy to share attributes this spring? How do they get some of Meadows' defense to rub off on Malloy and some of Malloy's offense to rub off on Meadows?

So does an 8 leg parlay count as 1 item or 8 items? I need to know how this will count towards the 12 items or less checkout.

In case you missed Ueck's birthday.

Nope, postponed due to rain.

I think I agree with you about the position players. They're still young enough that they need camp to develop and refine skills rather than in years way past where we've seen veterans need spring to knock off the rust or more recently just playing a bunch of guys to see who might be able to stick. 3B and a couple of bench roles are probably what's up for grabs. The one thing that seems lacking to me is a RHH CF if Vierling is counted on at 3B. Or are we looking at Ibanez at 3B vs LHP and Vierling in CF? As for the pitching, I think there are spots that are definitely claimed, but still some others that are up for grabs. Lange is a good example and I think there's reasonable doubt about him. Additionally, I think there are questions about how to cover 1,400 innings with 13 daily active roster spots. How to keep those arms at the MLB healthy as much as possible and also the reserves in Toledo ready to fill in when needed.

Maybe it’s more like they can’t to DFA him, but he’s injured? I kind of feel bad for him. I suspect he played out of position too much (he didn’t seem to have the reaction to play 3rd and looked more comfortable up the middle) and he was lost at the plate. I don’t know if maybe one fed the other and/or he could just never get out of it. They certainly allowed him time to reverse his season.

Maton is out of options and doesn't seem to be an incumbent of any sort for the major league roster. Is Kreidler out of options? I suspect he might also want to rent rather than buy.

In spite of the victory, the Pistons still have a comfortable 2 1/2 game lead on last place.

There goes the neighborhood.

30 reams to 34 teams seems an odd expansion. The 34 just seems an weird number for even alignment. 30 to 36 teams would seem like too much expansion in one move. I think we’ll see Seattle and Las Vegas to go to 32 soon. And I suspect 32 to 36 not too far afterwards with some Mexico and Canada involved in those 4 expansion teams. Honest concern: How rooted down to Detroit is the Piston franchise if Drunk Uncle Tommy sells?

I don’t know. I think Harris should’ve allowed Dan Campbell to announce this signing as part of his postgame victory media session tonight. On the other hand, this news might inspire the Lions to that victory.

Lions? What?

Wow, this kind of came out from nowhere.

Jones’ shadow’s chin took the brunt of that elbow. Cunningham barely even moved his arm. Such a weak call.

Ain’t my money.
