As for the new Pizza home run celebration, they should stick a fork in it

Or a spear.

I need Tiger baseball tonight. Screw all of your negativity.  

If we win, the MVP is Reese.  Not as dominant as Maenea was, but just as effective.

Gonna be real funny when someone gets impaled by the pizza spear.

C’mon, Javy!

Who gets the 10th?

Tork—no matter what, don’t listen to Cora.

Miggy retired too soon—he would have loved having Cora as the 3rd base coach.  

Akil Baddoo could have made that assist.  

Cora is going to get someone killed.  There is aggressive and just plain stupid.

I'm glad he turned himself in. Obviously this story line is far from over... but it's nice to know that he isn't still on the run and that he didn't do anything to make the situation even more sad (ie, off himself). 

Now let's let him have his day in court. Public opinion is certainly going to go against him given he "ran" for so long. People are free to form their opinion if they want and while I certainly think his running makes him look... shall we say less then innocent, he does deserve his day in court before the gov't is allowed to punish him.

I think even if he's exonerated he's not coming back to the Lions. First, I doubt he'd want to after the team cut. Second, I doubt the Lions would want to be associated with someone who was running from police for weeks even if there isn't enough evidence to convict him of a specific crime.

There had to be enough evidence for the police to issue an arrest in the first place.  If he was truly innocent, he could have come forward weeks ago.  I’m less sympathetic or optimistic.

That’s what happens when you assign scheduling to AI

Avila?  Guy can’t catch a break with any of you.

Lakeland social media manager was too busy listing out the roster and, instead, Tweeted, “Everyone else.”

No real position prospects at Erie, besides Lee and maybe Allen.  Rotation looks pretty good, though.

Miller with the Win and Save!

Urshela sits again.

Hits by Baez and Tork have irrefutably proven that Spring Training stats don’t matter.  Glad we can put that debate to rest.

What happened to Badoo? I haven't seen much written about him, but it seems like it's been a forgone conclusion all spring that he would not make the team.

He has been forgotten.  Sort of like the second “d” in his last name.

I just remember JD choking up when he was traded.  

Brieske, Manning, Kreidler and Malloy being demoted gives me some encouragement that this organization is on the right path.

My childhood baseball movie was the original Bad News Bears movie(s).  And I say this with a healthy dose of pride.

We have seen some monster offensive seasons in this ballpark.  Multiple MVP’s, batting crowns, HR titles.  In addition to Miggy’s overall output, we saw incredible performances by Magglio and Granderson (2007), and the Martinez brothers (Victor and JD).

Maybe park performance has been influenced by bad offensive teams since 2015?

Cody said on his podcast a rival evaluator came to him doing recon on Wentz's makeup, so take that for what it's worth.

The fact that they haven't made the call yet does tell me Wentz and Diaz aren't on the team, but they are trying not to lose them for nothing.

Would an evaluator really consult with the local beat writers?  If so, what did Kieran have to say about Baddoo?

I do agree that a trade might occur—I would imagine that Faedo or Wentz could command a decent position prospect.

don't forget Meadows. If he can stick he's probably worth 0.15 on the team ERA by himself.

I think he gets more than this season—technically still a rook.

Who will Holmes fleece today?
