The game only lasted seven innings. Daniel Norris started and pitched two scoreless innings, without allowing a walk or hit. Niko Goodrum collected two of five hits for the Tigers, doing so with a single and double. Reliever Buck Farmer gave up all four runs in the third inning. Isaac Paredes made his spring training debut and played third base. Righty Matt Manning launched two scoreless innings, while 2020 No. 1 overall pick Spencer Torkelson played first base.

Spring takes are the worst. Heck, we’re not immune to them. But let’s pump the brakes on any more Phillies bashing until Joe Girardi’s group actually deserves it. Trust me, there will be plenty of opportunities.



Still, the Mets acquired one of the best all-around players in the game in Lindor and a very good starting pitcher in Carlos Carrasco, and thanks to the signings of 10 major league free agents, they enter the 2021 season with a much better, deeper roster than they've had in recent years. At the outset of the offseason, new team president Sandy Alderson said a key goal was to improve the team's depth -- not just the major league roster but Triple-A as well.

For the best bang-for-buck value, Cincinnati Bengals Carl Lawson should be at the top of the radar.

J.J. Watt’s arrival along the Arizona Cardinals defensive line reinforces the Seahawks’ dire need to fortify the offensive line in front of Wilson, after it allowed 47 sacks, which was actually an improvement on its performance in recent years.

Mooney clearly has skills, and he was credited with just one drop as a rookie. But he was also victim of bad quarterback play, as evidenced by those lackluster downfield numbers. He was 31st among wide receivers in air yards last year (1,136), and he was top-50 player at the position in yards after the catch. Add in 15 uncatchable downfield targets with 37 targets he did not catch last year, and that’s a whole lot of production left on the field due purely to how bad Nick Foles and Mitch Trubisky were.Cleveland Browns Face masks



“It’s definitely an odd year without a real Combine or individual workouts,” Forristall tells FanSided. “It makes pro days much more important, and it’s a little harder to build relationships via Zoom.”Green Bay Packers Face masks

Defensive Coordinator: The Ravens are super aggressive on the backend, playing Cover 1 man coverage at the fourth-highest rate (44%), Cover 0 man coverage at the third-highest rate (7%), and blitzing in general at the second highest rate (40%). DC Don Martindale asks his corners to play a lot of press coverage, and he has the talent to leave them on islands. The end result last year was the No. 2 scoring defense. If the front office can properly address edge rusher, the Ravens are candidates to repeat as a top-eight unit.

Eliminating a team from contention for a possible trade obviously increases the odds of Pace winning the Wilson sweepstakes. Of course things need to escalate further to get to that point, first. There’s still no indication Wilson has requested a trade from the Seahawks yet, so Seattle has no real need to deal away one of the best quarterbacks in the game. But if they do, the path for Wilson to end up on the Bears may have one less hurdle.Las Vegas Raiders Face masks

"I never look at player(s) as trade commodities," Karnišovas said. "Right now, we’re focused on winning games, because the separation between fourth and 10th place is a game-and-a-half. So this group is doing pretty well. I think now 12 or 13 are in (the playoff mix) in the East. So I just think teams are going to try to improve, and there’s not going to be a lot of sellers. So I think we’re just going to focus on our guys and how to get them better.”

“It’s part and parcel of what comes with someone who is living on the edge a bit and is hard-wired to sort of march forward with incredible energy.

We had every workout on tape, but the only one we couldn't find was Kobe's. I don't know where they are. I wonder if our video guy has them in a vault somewhere. Somebody has it somewhere.

Anthony Rendon said the other day that earlier in his career he really didn't buy into the concept of clubhouse chemistry. Now, though, the Angels' third baseman has come to understand just how much time players and staffers spend together, and that to enjoy that time is important. Along those lines, he told a story about the gregarious Kurt Suzuki -- who in his 15h season is a teammate of Rendon for a third time now -- and how the longtime catcher helped him in Rendon's first months in the big leagues. Suzuki would arrange for a cab or car service to the ballpark and invite Rendon to join him. When Rendon tried to offer to share the cost, Suzuki waved him off and told him that there would be a day when it would be Rendon's turn to pay it forward for some other young player.

"For me, I think that in both years I had a lot of really good swings," Alonso said. "In '19, obviously I was more consistent with it, but I feel like in '20 that I mastered the strike zone a lot better, I chased less in '20. I just feel like I didn't necessarily get going and hit my stride consistently. And if I can blend being consistent, making those short simple compact swings, and minimizing chase. I feel like I'm gonna be set up extremely well going into the season. I just want to keep making good, hard contact and swinging at drivable pitches."

The Islanders would go on to win the game over the Sabres by a final score of 5-2, which no doubt was sparked by the Barzal goal that would be the first of four unanswered in the second period for the Islanders that would put the game out of reach.

Having Roethlisberger back for one more year should mean the Steelers want to go all-in to win a Super Bowl. Unfortunately, letting someone like Hilton go could hurt the team in the long-term.

Coach: C-minus. D.J. Smith is in his second season, and the Senators are a worse team (348 points percentage) than they were in 2019-20. While much of that is on the goaltending, Ottawa is still third worst in the league in expected goals against per 60 minutes (2.44). He's managing a very young roster and making some impactful decisions, like putting blue-chip defenseman Erik Brannstrom in the healthy scratch doghouse.

Wayne Simmonds, RW/LW, Toronto Maple Leafs (3.9 %): The Maple Leafs could have Simmonds back in the lineup when they return to action Friday, if not, soon after.

You can bet your bottom buck he settles in again on Toronto's top unit -- which has struggled of late -- once back to speed. Simmonds is also usually good for a few penalty minutes here and there. Having lost five of their past six, the Leafs could certainly use his energy.

The Rangers have the Buffalo Sabres and two games against the Philadelphia Flyers (whom they beat 9-0 on Wednesday), plus a fourth game against the Washington Capitals.
