Bunch of roster moves for the Lions:

Placed OL Gio Manu on IR

Waived OL Kingsley Eguakun and DL Chris Smith.

Signed S Erick Hallett, DL Quinton Jefferson and CB Nick Whiteside to the Active Roster from Practice Squad.

Elevated CB Arthur Maulet and OL Devin Cochran from PS to gameday roster

Imagine Devin Cochran gets a PS promotion. He was elevated last week

Lions downgrade Taylor Decker, Gio Manu, Avonte Maddox to out. Dan Skipper show at LT vs the Chiefs

Tigers better find a bat or two this offseason

See you when the Lions come there next year (presumably)?

The 2-3-4-5 hitters in the Tigers lineup are a combined 0-for-21 with 10 strikeouts.

That’s another grade throw.

I’m supposed to play ball at 7 AM. This game goes any longer and I don’t think I’m making it.

They got out of it again. Amazing

Shitty call on the first strike to Crawford. It was outside. Balanced out the bunt/HBP/foul call
davebirkett.bsky.social
Amazing they got out of that
davebirkett.bsky.social
Wow. Thats an unfortunate start to the inning
davebirkett.bsky.social
I’m left glued to this game.

So many broken bats in this game, too
davebirkett.bsky.social
Pitching on both sides has been excellent

He was still humming it, too. I get those are intense innings he’s throwing, but in this game he’s got 1 more inning in him

Never should have taken Skubal out
