I’m having a hard time finding any evidence of the Tigers spring training broadcast schedule for 2026. On the MLB app on my phone the only time there’s any broadcast so far is when we play the Orioles? And it’s an Orioles broadcast and only on the radio?

Someone smart, not me, should start a spring training thread. On my ESPN app it just alerted me that the Tigers are playing the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field, February 21. That’s just 34 days away.

Not at all. We’re not discussing Skubal at all. All Skubal news is on the ninth floor in the Twilight Zone.

I remember liking the show a lot - I still make a curry omelette the way he taught me to to this day - and then came the accusations of “eat you like a sugar cookie” and at the time it sounded credible. It was at least presented as such and if it wasn’t credible, this is a terrible travesty. But seven accusations is an awful lot of accusations. I don’t know how someone’s sense of “warmth“ could be misinterpreted so widely and so frequently. And the program is not being streamed by any major outlet, but looks like it’s on a subscription basis only through the producers themselves. I wonder if major carriers consider the documentary series itself to be kind of legal hot potato and they’re staying away from it.

Sources: Royals to move in fences at Kauffman Stadium Jeff Passan Jan 13, 2026, 11:00 AM ET • Like 33 The Kansas City Royals are moving the majority of their outfield fence in by 10 feet, drastically changing the offensive environment of a notoriously bad stadium for home run hitting into one the team hopes will play as league-average, sources told ESPN. The decision, which the Royals are expected to announce Tuesday, comes after years of discussion by Kansas City's front office about tinkering with dimensions and months after the organization commissioned its analytics department to find a palatable middle ground between the fly ball dead zone of Kauffman Stadium and other stadiums where home runs soar at extreme rates. "We want a neutral ballpark where if you hit a ball well, it should be a home run," Royals general manager J.J. Picollo told ESPN. "The second they start feeling like they can't get the ball out of the ballpark, they start changing their swing. I watched it for years and years and years, and I just felt like this is the time to try to push it and see if everything we felt for however many years is accurate." The Royals will keep center field at 410 feet.

A true beat down. I have some good friends in Pittsburgh and they might well be affected by this loss, but some of my animosities run deeper than friendship.

I don’t usually root for anything from Texas other than Willie Nelson. But I want Houston to beat the Steelers tonight.

Hey pal, this is the “complaints department.” We only handle complaints here… 😉

It’s not like Philadelphia is a version of heaven on earth… But yeah, I hear ya.

But if the world comes to an end, he’ll get screwed…

When I was a kid, I thought the Bears were kind of lovable because Bobby Douglas, their scrambling quarterback, would run for more yards than he could pass. I no longer really care, but if it’s a choice between Green Bay and the Bears, it’s the Bears all the way.

You make it sound so bad… but most everyone in baseball seems to be doing their version of running with the big dogs so you’ve got a point. I was never expecting Bregman. But I was expecting a lot more than what’s happened.

So do we need to condemn Scott Harris for being cheap and not offering him $45 million a year to play in a ballpark far less suited to his abilities?

And Ted Williams missed six years due to war. And he didn’t face the kind of pitching that he would face today but still he was basically unbelievable and even facing today’s pitching I get the feeling he would’ve made the adjustments necessary to still be reallt really good.

I am totally boring. I’ve never had success betting so I’ve never had a chance to get addicted. I also don’t drink or smoke or use drugs or buy sex… anymore.
