Way too easy. I hope it's just shaking off rust, because the lack of a pass rush on that drive was startling.

Branch being stupid.

That's one of the worst Carpenter ABs I've ever seen.

Almost certainly will be in the 2026 MLB Network Commercial Break rotation.

Damn, Tork Bomb robbed.

Whew!

Fetter, go talk to your boy.

Morton kinda sucks now, eh?

Crazy 1st inning.

Well, the Charlie Morton experience was fun while it lasted.

Future injuries might make decisions on Campbell/LaPorta/Gibbs/Branch easier. Of the four -- and barring injuries -- I think Campbell is a lock to be resigned followed by Gibbs. I agree that extending RBs is a dicey proposition, but Gibbs is special and still very young. If he's healthy and you can lock him up through age 29/30, I'd make the exception for him. Of LaPorta and Branch, I think LaPorta is the easier of the two to replace, as Branch can play pretty much any DB position and be adequate at worst, and elite at best.

I wouldn't have been surprised had they not, tbh. The way the deal is structured, though, could make him a steal if he really does go off like everyone in Allen Park is saying he will.

Looks like I picked a good inning to tune in.

One at most. I think they'll take into consideration the fact that he was ejected before the opening kickoff.

The Eagles are gonna dumb themselves into an L if they're not careful.

I agree, but it's a double-edged sword. Dirks's ability to match Benetti has the downside of sending Jason off script too much for my liking. When they're on, though, they're great. Also, I think I'm the only one here who doesn't really like Bobby Scales. He talks way too much and way to fast, IMO. It's baseball, Bobby, not hockey. Airtime is less precious because the pace of the game is slower.

It's a legitimate question. Not only Goff, but the O-line and skill guys around him. All the questions that surround Goff's success in Detroit apply to Ben Johnson, but nobody wants to have that conversation.

You've clearly never met me.

Our pitching staff is so effing bad.

I could've, but my confidence was low.

And that'll do it. Game over.

No matter what happens, this is Morton's last batter.

Wow, Morton gets out of another jam by K-ing Soto, but his pitch count took a beating.

This is about to get ugly.
