Stay healthy, dude.

Portland Trail Blazers (26-44) vs Detroit Pistons (19-52)

It seems like they see a window in front of them right now.

That might be a popular line of thought. But it takes just one owner with a desire to make a move to push their team over the next obstacle in front of them. Don’t forget, the Tigers used to have one of those owners not too long ago.

Soto on in the 3rd. Hinch wasn't messing around when he said he wasn't necessarily going to wait until the 9th to deploy Soto.

Skubal working on his HBP there.

If you listen closely, you can hear tears from John Sterling & Suzyn Waldman.

Tigers 2, Yankees 0. Midplayoffs form already, I like it.

Tigers 1, Yankees 0. Eat it, New Yawk.

Dan & Jim on the radio. It sounds glorious, a sure sign of spring.

At the request of 29 of the 30 MLB teams.

That's why you're suddenly back.

Cam Vieaux in to pitch. Oddly enough, his last name is pronounced "v-oh" and his teammates call him "Vowel".

Did you see the pregame? They showed him at 100.9 in some indoor throwing session. Pity that, Daz wasn't impressed in the leastest.

The color combo and font are uniquely theirs. A simple motif, not too busy. Mitch Keller just took a Daz Cameron liner off of the leg, but it looks like he'll live to tell his grandchildren about it.

Leyland has to be in attendance today, doesn't he?

The Pirates have underratedly good jerseys.

Yes. Ball hit in front of you while you're on 2B, just wait and see what happens. He was easy pickin's at 3B. OK, well, let's learn those lessons now as opposed to in a month.

I see what you did there.

Anyone else get the impression that Correa might be a bit of a pain in the ass personality? Talent can make some employers overlook that trait, but at some point, it can turn some potential opportunities off. It is kind of amusing to see the a small market team outmaneuver a big market team like the Twins seemingly did here.

I think that’s a variable that I would consider, yes.

Maybe, maybe not. Rumors are that Houston's owner was getting more involved on their end recently. This has been an awfully odd free agency for Correa. We don't know everything, but I think given everything that is publicly "known" suggests maybe Correa overplayed his hand a bit? He had the team out there that was willing to spend (Texas), but they went with other options which soaked up the funds.

I was just discussing Clemens elsewhere. I kind of wonder if he can become a valuable platoon/bench/utility guy?

If they sold these at the team merch store, that could help cover part of the cost of the deal.

False. Cruzer don't sleep.
