  1. IDK, the Pistons still haven't played their best game and they've won 2. I wouldn't bet against them. Win Friday and come home for a game 7. At least make it interesting.
  2. Use Finnegan or Vest as a closer? JV?
  3. Joe Nathan...exactly. And the Angels DFA'ed their closer after blowing several 9th inning save chances. They must have seen enough of Jansen. They knew....
  4. Watching the Tigers with no sound on while the Pistons are on the big screen. As soon as Jansen walked the leadoff hitter, I thought he was gonna give it up. But the Pistons held on and Skubal scared the bile outta me!!
  5. Riley!!! One of the hottest hitters in MLB.
  6. Pistons playing like cornered rats!! I love it!!
  7. I was worried Javy hurt his surgically repaired hip.
  8. Workman has a LH bat and they want a RH bat?
  9. No, maybe best player to fill in, short term. Protect SS in case of emergency. Don't have to worry about options or putting another player on the 40 man roster And a RH bat. They're leaving the better, future player, in Toledo. Instead of sitting on the bench in Detroit for two weeks. Or....you were being sarcastic? 😅😅
  10. Are teams going to start bunting against Skubal?
  11. Even with all the negativity, I see the Pistons winning big tonight. By at least 10 points but probably closer to 20.
  12. Just think if they quit wasting shots and just get 2 points 25% of the time. This series would probably be over. Last game i saw at least 4 Piston misses turn into Orlando fast break points, a 5 point swing every time.
  13. I can forgive the long rebounds when Orlando shoots and misses a 3 but this Piston teams weakness all season seems to be that we give up a lot of offensive rebounds. I don't know the stat and I hope I'm wrong but it seems like many teans get multiple offensive rebounds against us?
  14. I just heard Cora was offered the Philly job and turned it down. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2026/04/28/alex-cora-phillies-rob-thomson-available-managers/89836503007/
  15. Billy Martin was hired by Texas after Detroit fired him, in season. And in 1975, when Texas fired him, he took over the Yankees. Lol Jeez...reading about Billy. So interesting. One of the times he got fired from the Yankees, he was replaced by Bob Lemon, who had just been fired by the WSox. They don't make them like Billy Martin anymore...
  16. Im not how accurate that Free Press article was anyway. Looking into it, several teams have recently acquired players that helped them win a championship. https://www.nba.com/news/6-recent-trades-that-helped-fuel-nba-championships
  17. Im sure there has to be managers who got fired during a season and got hired somewhere else. My guess would be Billy Martin?
  18. But that's hindsight. We could have traded for a player or two and have them bombed out. I wish they would have tried and traded draft picks for some accurate 3 point shooters but who would I want traded from our roster? Harris? And future picks? If somebody wanted Stew, I would hang up. But we really can't say a player got traded and has done really good. You just never know. .
  19. I don't think any of us know if there's an opt out in his contract or not. I'm absolutely positive he's staying here but sometimes there are opt outs written in contracts. Aren't there?
  20. Didn't Sparky?
  21. I remember when the Yankees tried that with Catfish Hunter. MLB didn't allow it
  22. It's AhMizing pitching. Extend the man!!
  23. A typical AA kid would need more seasoning. TBH, I also thought he probably would too. But I never saw him play or scouted him. I basically didn't know anything about him. So, I'm pleasantly surprised.
