I cannot tell you how little enthusiasm I showed checking in on what I assumed would be a 5-1 final score, only discover it was 5-5 in middle of 10th. Then I jumped onboard for the winning rally, lol.

Glad Florida won, now we have a series, but that tying goal came out of nowhere. Florida wasn’t even threatening in the 3rd. Good long PK to start overtime saved their season, for now.

I don’t like the way the NY Post frames this. The way I see it, Canada prevented the Tigers from striking out 14 times and losing another game yesterday.

That was a beauty. https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1665900363927388160?s=20

What the hell just happened. Someone has to help Cisnero steal Haase’s signs.

Has anyone checked on Mike Commodore, lol

Doesn’t surprise me. Babcock did a lot of bad things, but the narrative for that week of his firing that he was uniquely evil among coaches of his era is probably untrue.

What’s the most hitters faced in a major league debut without giving up a hit?

Today’s Wall Street Journal.

Good camera work at the Memorial Cup.

Dubas to the Pens.

I don't see what the Leafs see in Brad Treliving. Not like he did that great with the cap and re-signing stars in Calgary.

Even though it had only been two losses, with the big E-Rod and Greene injury news the past few days this felt like a stop-the-bleeding win.

This was issued yesterday before the Greene injury

Today’s E-Rod injury has taken the wind out of my sails.

Not touching it is dumb. I think Yzerman always touched it. I saw Vegas even skated with it this year.

The Tigers season could play out like the Red Wings' completed season. Play OK for the first several months, hover around fringe of playoff contention/.500, win against teams they should, lose against better teams against which they are clearly outmatched, then if there is a selloff at trade deadline fall off the rest of the year.

My only issue with Dan, that I've noticed this season, is that he occasionally calls the pitch based on what the automated strike zone says, not how the ump calls it. Examples: "That's a really good slider that just nipped the plate ...(two seconds pause) ... you've got to be given those calls, hard to pitch at a 3-1 count now when you know the count should be even at two". "Fastball low and JUST outside ...(two seconds pause)...really don't understand how you can call that a strike". That's hard as a listener relying on the radio and not seeing the TV scoreboard.

This clip popped up on my Twitter feed. I will never forget this shift.

Nice hit.
