The schedule fits perfectly for Skubal to pitch the championship game should the U.S. get there. That would also mean Skubal pitching on normal rest for the Tigers on March 12. The U.S. is guaranteed to play March 13 in the quarterfinals should it advance, which is likely.

Could Tarik Skubal alter WBC plan? β€˜One of the tougher decisions I’ve made in my career’ The Tigers ace did not definitively say he was done for the WBC after Saturday night's win over Great Britain.

In what he called "one of the tougher decisions I’ve made in my career," Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is considering continuing to pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and reversing course from his plan to make only one start. News here - www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Jazz put up valiant fight against Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bucks as questions swirl around Doc Rivers The Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Milwaukee Bucks were given a run for their money by the shorthanded, tanking Utah Jazz

It’s really strange to cover a tanking team that’s been at the bottom of the league and to leave an arena feeling like it’s the other team with an MVP caliber player that is in a worse spot. But that’s what it felt like on Saturday.

Steve Kerr on SGA (15 free throws tonight): β€œHe’s incredibly clever. He knows exactly how to draw contact. It’s all within the rules. I don’t have a problem with Shai. I have a problem with the rules.”

You are not ready for how hard the Amish Outlaws go.

Just an incredibly versatile cover band, rolling seamlessly from Dre to Greenday to Kenny Rogers to Snoop Dog to Elton John to Fleetwood Mac to Tupac.

Always a great show.

Tarik Skubal threw three innings and 41 pitches for Team USA tonight against Great Britain. Nate Eaton hit his first pitch for a home run and then Skubal retired nine of the next 10 batters he faced. It is scheduled to be his only World Baseball Classic appearance.

🚨ANOTHER new starting lineup for the #Bucks🚨

I asked Doc Rivers about starting Kyle Kuzma re: "going bigger" yesterday and he shrugged it off. So, well, Kuzma went from his first career DNP-CD to back in the starting group.

In Year 10, Brandon Woodruff has become the 'unc' of young Brewers staff Brandon Woodruff is embracing his role on a team full of inexperienced pitchers, but isn't cutting down on the smack talk.

Big Woo has a new moniker.

β€œHe’s the Unc," Chad Patrick said.

Jacob Misiorowski: β€œI think Chad hit it right on the head. He's Unc."

Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle aren’t just baseball’s top 2 prospects. They’re increasingly frequent rivals, friends and admirers.

β€œWhen we're on the field, we're competing. We want to beat each other. But off the field, I think it's cool to pull for one another.”
