Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look ahead to the next big item of the NFL offseason—the 2026 schedule release. Back in the day, prior to social media being the force that it is now, the NFL’s schedule release format was fairly low key. There were no […]
With the Detroit Lions’ 2026 draft now nearly a full week in the rear-view mirror, it’s time for the Pride of Detroit staff to take inventory of what transpired. We’ve had time to read the scouting reports, listen to what Lions general manager Brad Holmes had to say about each pick, and do our own […]
The Detroit Tigers return to Comerica Park to host the Texas Rangers on Friday after a 4-5 interleague swing that concluded with a 5-2 victory in the finale against the Braves in Atlanta on Thursday to prevent a sweep. This weekend’s series opens up a six-game homestand that has the Boston Red Sox coming to […]
During Thursday’s game against the Detroit Tigers, the Atlanta Braves shared the news that Ed Mangan, Vice President of Field Operations, was retiring after more than 35 years with the organization. While the news might seem innocuous to those whose fandom of the Braves began after his tenure started in Atlanta, his immediate impact to […]
The Detroit Pistons are struggling with the eight seed Orlando Magic, with Jalen Duren being a big reason why.
Heading into this series, this matchup felt like a very tricky proposition for a Braves team that came into this rolling at a very high level. Atlanta was clicking but they’d have to deal with three formidable starting pitchers in the form of Casey Mize, Framber Valdez and Tarik Skubal. If the Braves were going […]
(Note: data are through Tuesday’s series opener against the Tigers only — the awkward timing of Thursday’s day game will make the data two games out of date by the time this runs.) In the near-perpetual gloom that was the Atlanta Braves 2025 season, there was a chase rate contest. Maybe. I think there was […]

After an exciting walkoff win that extended their season-opening streak of not losing series on Wednesday night, the Braves got to work in a short turnaround matchup against the Tigers with a chance for a sweep. For a while, a sweep seemed likely, but the Braves were undone by poor pitching and defense in the […]
After losing two in a row against the Braves and dropping below the .500 mark for season wins, the Tigers were hoping to dodge a series sweep before heading back to Detroit. Despite a losing record, the Tigers only trailed the division-leading Guardians by half a game, because the AL Central is not having a […]

The month draws to a close with a Thursday matinee on getaway day where the Braves seek a sweep.
Michael Harris II was seen favoring his ailing quad during last night’s win over the Tigers, and as such, it’s not surprising to see him get another breather in a short turnaround matinee game, especially given that Framber Valdez throws with his left hand. The absence of Harris is part of a wholesale rejiggering of […]
Last year, the Braves randomly swept the Tigers late in the year, pulling down the relatively competitive team into their own 2025 muck for a bit. This year, the Braves are rocking and rolling and having a great time, and can sweep the Tigers again with a successful performance on Thursday afternoon. The Braves largely […]
The Detroit Lions defense needed some serious changes this offseason after the team’s efficiency dropped from the seventh-best scoring defense to 22nd in 2025. Detroit promised to look at everything, and while a complete overhaul of the scheme they’ve been using since 2021 was always unlikely, coaches have promised that they will tweak the system […]
The Detroit Tigers fell under the .500 mark on Wednesday night after a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. It was the team’s second-straight defeat and fourth in the past five games. After failing to capitalize on a Tarik Skubal start, the Motor City Kitties turn to left-hander Framber […]
With the Detroit Lions’ roster nearing completion toward the team’s 90-man limit, we’re starting to get a pretty good idea of what the team will look like for the 2026 NFL season. A team as stacked as the Lions doesn’t have a lot of starting jobs up for grabs. On offense, it’s pretty clear where […]
According to Shams Charania, he expects the Detroit Pistons to go star hunting this season, and that could mean Lauri Markkanen. So, apparently, the Pistons will look to find players that fit their timeline, and Lauri Markkanen and Trey Murphy III fit the mold. Here we go again… Like all the trade rumors we saw […]
The Tigers needed their ace tonight, and they got him. Tarik Skubal was as advertised. Outside of one blemish to start the game, he did not allow a Braves runner in scoring position in his seven innings of work. It would’ve been a well-deserved, tip-your-cap type of win. But the 2026 Braves simply won’t be […]
The Tigers were hoping to bounce back from their Tuesday evening loss to the Braves, and they were hoping Tarik Skubal would be the man on the mound to make that happen. Atlanta was leaning on J.R. Ritchie to get them the second win of the series. The Tigers started out aggressively against Ritchie, with […]

The 2026 NFL Draft may be done, but the Detroit Lions are still working to fill out their roster. On Wednesday, the team announced that they have signed defensive tackle Jay Tufele and linebacker Joe Bachie. Tufele—6-foot-3, 305 pounds—was drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He only spent a single year […]
Matthew Stafford is both the reigning MVP and for the moment only the second-most notable quarterback on his own roster. That could be a first in NFL history. With the draft selection of Ty Simpson, the Los Angeles Rams have shifted the balance interest away from the 38-year-old MVP who is currently negotiating an adjusted […]
