The Tigers win it in extras
0:02
Sorry for not jumping up and down with joy. I left my pom-poms in the car. Dustin Fiocco with Detroit Sports Nation

It's your daily rundown on Thursday. Last night, Tigers topping the Twins 11-6
0:12
A 12th inning torque bomb does the trick. Also a big game for Max Clark
0:17
Richard Knight has the article as to why that is. But guys, it's hard to get kind of jazzed up about it
0:22
considering they blew a 5-1 lead in the 8th. However, they are chasing Cleveland for the final playoff spot
0:28
They've got a series against the Guardians this weekend, starting with tomorrow's doubleheader
0:32
And the series will go one of two ways. Either A, if the Tigers win it, I'll continue my toxic relationship with them
0:38
and hoping that they can possibly make the postseason. B, if they lose that series, I'm closing the book
0:45
Meanwhile, Lions entering in the year at number 11, according to ESPN's power rankings
0:50
Richard Knight also with the details as to why that is. I think 11's a fair ranking to start out at
0:55
You'll look at where Dan Campbell had this team last season. Finishing 9-8, fourth straight winning season, but they did miss the playoffs, won't be an issue this year
1:04
It going to be a Lions renaissance season much more like the 2023 seasons especially with this offense putting up 40 points a game Guys I think this team is a lot to win the division I put money on it Speaking of putting money on things Paul Reed got money coming his way for the Pistons
1:21
Pistons lock him in. Sean Murphy's got the contract details. Make sure you check that out
1:26
But the contract doesn't do a whole lot for me. Doesn't make the team better, doesn't make the team worse
1:31
It's just not what the team needs. What the Pistons need is a secondary scorer
1:35
opposite of Cade Cunningham, somebody that can put up 20 points a game. Not going to be Paul Reed
1:40
We learned in the playoffs it's not going to be Jalen Duren. We didn't make that move in the offseason
1:45
so I can't see this team being any better than they were last season. And don't let that one seed fool you
1:50
At the end of the day, this was a team that just barely got out of the first round of the playoffs
1:55
and that was against an eight seed. Those are my thoughts. I'd love to hear your feedback

Make sure you subscribe to our newsletter. Like, comment, share. Guys, does Paul Reed make this Pistons team any better
2:06
I don't think he does. Lions coming in at number 11 to start the year
2:10
I think that's a fair ranking. Do you agree? Do you also agree that they're going to win the division
2:15
And finally, do the Tigers still have a chance? The numbers and the odds say they do
2:20
The eye test, however, says the last three weeks they played like possum urine
2:24
