Detroit Pistons (22-56) vs Indiana Pacers (25-53)

Meh….. not worried. Odds are still best for a 4th or better pick overall.

That Hawaii batting helmet slaps.

I'm probably fan boying it too much, but I'd love to see another career duo combo like Whitaker & Trammell. The odds are against it, heck, the odds are against one or the other staying with the Tigers for a HOF discussion worthy career. So that brings to mind the Molina & Wainwright pairing in St. Louis. Pujols is getting the notoriety in camp, but Molina has been a Cardinal since 2004 and Wainwright had a cup of coffee in 2005 and has been there since. I guess I think its something that's pretty noteworthy, the one franchise careers that are HO very good at minimum. And then to have multiples that cover the same stretch. And I know its not to be mentioned around these parts, but they've won a couple of titles along the way.

At least they hid the duct tape pretty well.

I didn't see the game, just looking at the box score. Embiid had a monster game, but I thought the Pistons got rid of Drummond?

It wasn't night.

Detroit Pistons (21-56) vs Oklahoma City Thunder (22-54)

Great picture of Jim Cowan.

There's always room on an MLB roster for a glove.

Well, now that they've engaged in dredging the basement for 5 seasons and restarted the farm system with the kick start that they claimed was necessary, its just a matter of maintaining it going forward, right?

Its easy to forget Hayes has lost a lot of time. And it ain't like he's been surrounded by greatness when he has played. I want to see how he looks next season. There will be another top draft pick added. Cunningham, Bay, and Stewart will have another season under their belts as well. Maybe he isn't destined to be more than a bench PG. Maybe he figures enough out to be a starter.

Any news on bringing the outfield walls in?

Philadelphia 76ers (46-29) vs Detroit Pistons (20-54)

I'll 2.4 WAR in 3/8 years for the Diamondbacks. Hey, it was a studly run, it should be noted. Actually, that $9.75M is incorrect. Call it 3 1/2 years, tack on half of the $11.75M from 2017 to the Tigers and half to the Diamondbacks. OK, getting too much into the weeds. I'm warmed up now. Time to look at work.

Its a fine line to walk, opening up camp for 2022-2023 playing time now, yet trying to earn more ping pong balls.

So these won't be on PASS?

Greene & Torkelson are off again?

So, if he is meeting those expectations, that's fine. The byproduct of Hill & Cameron getting regular playing time in Toledo probably isn't bad. Its not perfect, because at some point they need to face MLB competition. But at some point the Tigers are going to need to call up an OF, so it's just a matter of when, not if.

Oddly enough, they both have questions about their bodies. Can Reyes add & deploy muscle to his long levers? Can Hill keep his body healthy?

I can understand Garneau if they are going to be playing Haase around the field. I'm adverse to using backup Cs around the field much, I guess because of the potential for injury and getting stuck with a nonC behind the plate for a game. Maybe its unfounded to worry that way, and it really doesn't affect my day-to-day, but these are some of the dumb things that keep me up at night. On the pitching side, I suppose they look at Hutchison as a multiple innings guy if all pooh breaks loose? And if it doesn't work out, hopefully he is salvageable enough to bridge he gap until Pineda/Peralta are back? With rosters being cut down to 26 at some point, I sure hope his agent talked him into renting.

Detroit Pistons (20-55) vs Brooklyn Nets (39-36)

Hmmmm.... Anyone think this might explain the throwing issues that befell Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblauch?

Maybe send Will Smith over there to slap his head off?

Just got a text from my dad. "I've already had my fill of Morris for the year."
