Tigers call upon their backup catcher to pinch run in the 9th.

I think it was a good deal for both teams considering where the Jets are currently at. I think they have a really good squad now and are a QB away from being legit SB contenders so this type of move makes sense for them. Yeah at Rodgers age you never know when you are going to fall of a cliff but lets not forget a year ago at this time he was the reigning 2 time MVP winner so its not like it's been that long since he has been elite. The worst you're looking at for the Jets is a 2nd and likely a 1st in the late teens or 20s. The upside is he has a few elite years left in him and he leads you to multiple deep playoff runs.

Box score scouting around the league tonight and Spencer Strider currently through 8 shutout innings with 13Ks including an absurd 31 swings and misses. Crazy!

Tampa wins again to get to 20-3. For those keeping score at home they Gotta go 15-2 in the next 17 to match the 84 Tigers.

Nice quick inning for Holton.

Miggy has 30 batted balls on the season and of those 30 balls only one was a barrel. Just awful.

Maton on pace for 30+ HRs yet still only has a .375 slugging. lol I'd imagine if that were to actually hold up it would be far and away the lowest slugging for a 30HR season in history.

Boyd still plagued by the HR ball, some things will never change.

I wonder if that was either a missed hit and run or if Haase thought the dropped ball by the catcher rolled farther away from him than it did so he tried advancing on it on his own. Definitely doesn't make sens to send Haase on a straight steal there.

Maton blasts a 3 run HR so atleast the start to the innings wasn't all for naught!

lol start the inning with 3 straight walks and single and it nets them runners on the corners with 2 outs and no runs scored. Only this freaking team man I swear.

The automated zone is 3d right and not just the front of the plate? If so I don't see how it wouldn't be able to get horizontal or vertical breaking pitches right.

Haase works a leadoff walk, lets see how the top of the order follows.

Tork with the leadoff single only to be erased by the prerequisite Miggy groundball double play.

What's up with the sound? It sounds like they have the audio just centered on a small gathering of people by the Tigers on deck circle.

I'm sure the rule will be changed im the future or at the least the punishment less severe but it won't happen to after the Lions players serve their suspensions of course.

To me Tillman appears to be a perfect fit for our future x receiver. He may not fill the Jamo void as the burner that can kill defenses with the crossing route or going vertical but I think he would thrive as the guy that could move the chains for us by bringing in tough contested balls on the sidelines. Also has the ability to go deep and get up and get the ball at its high point. Btw Raymond started to be a decent deep threat towards the end of the season so perhaps he can help fill that role till Jamo gets back. It may look like a terrible guy to be comped to now but I think Tillman could be alot like Kenny G was for us when he was healthy and at his best.

As much as Green gets under my skin he is one of if not the very best defensive players in recent memory, and by recent memory I mean atleast the last 25 or so years.

Yeah if I was in Bridgewaters camp Id def wait till post draft to sign with a team unless I got some Godfather offer that I didn't want to risk losing and while it may have been a strong offer I don't think the Lions offer was like that.

After several years of doing the stupid thing I didn't realize until tonight that it was called "pick the stick", I always thought it was "pick to stick" which never made sense to me. lol

Sounds like Derrick Henry is going to the Eagles. I put this here cause I thought they would be the most likely landing spot for Bijan if we passed on him at 6 but now that may not be the case and we may be able to get him at 18 if we are interested in him.

I want Carter just cause I think he potentially has the most upside to help us immediately but with that said even though I personally think that it's not like he is a Suh, McCoy or Warren Sapp like level prospect, hell he may be not even be Nick Fairley level atleast according to all the pundits pre draft grades so it's not unreasonable to pass on him if you have some doubt about his off the field issues. It's not like teams passing on a once in a decade plus type WR in Randy Moss because of it.

It may or may not be a dumb rule but either way it is a rule and as a player you have to know you have to abide by them.

Wow that is a terrible way to lose it. On a side note can't believe Smyly is still around and pitching well, he has carved out a really good career for himself. Also crazy that he is still only 33 years old so he may still have a few years left in him. To think at one point we had JV, Max, Price, Sanchez, Porcello, Smyly and Robbie Ray all on the team at the same time.
