Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Looks like City have a legit striker in Darren Smith. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 06/03/2026The Lions are going all in on giving Gibbs the ball 35 times a game and hoping he can take the pounding behind a third-string O line. The Super Bowl “window” is closed, boarded up, and has “gas cut” written on it in bright orange spray paint. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Clippers beat Pistons again. Trade whatever it takes to get Kahwi Leonard. They can’t beat him. 110
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Dan Campbell actually thought he could fool Ben Johnson with a trick play on 3rd and 1. That’s why the Lions are in last place: Campbell is a moron. 100
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 04/01/2026The Vikings beat the Packers, ensuring that the Lions will finish last in the NFC North for the 5th time in 8 seasons. Very SOL. 110
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Chuck Cunningham will return in “Avengers: Doomsday.” 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Bye, Wink. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Manning looks like a Manning. He can kill you with his arm and his feet. The Lions should tank next season so they can draft him in 2027, because that’s the kind of QB they need. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 31/12/2025The obvious difference between Texas and Michigan is speed. The Longhorns are much faster on both sides. Also, Arch Manning is eviscerating Wink Martindale’s defense. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 26/12/2025In addition to missing the playoffs, the Lions will not record a 4th straight winning season. They went from 15-2 last season to 8-9 in 2025. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Anyone who starts a Jared Goff chant at any future Detroit sporting event should be immediately expelled from the arena and banned for life. 020
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 22/12/2025I’ve been saying it for weeks, now it’s time for everyone to accept the truth: The last 2 years were an aberration. The Lions are who they always were and what they ever shall be—S.O.L. 100
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 15/12/2025The Rams won the Stafford trade and it wasn’t close. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Sean McVay is playing chess while Dan Campbell plays checkers. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Unless the Tigers trade Skubal, don’t expect any big moves before Opening Day. They will never spend the kind of money these free agents are getting this winter. Get used to the idea of 87 wins being their high water mark. 010

Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Lou Whitaker must be the most hated former MLB player of his generation. His career WAR is 20 points higher than that of Jeff Kent, who just got named to the Hall of Fame. It’s got to be personal. I don’t know how many players and writers he pissed off over time, but there’s no other explanation. 150
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I see a lot of “experts” saying the playoff committee shouldn’t penalize teams who lose conference championship games in order to justify giving Alabama an at-large bid. By that logic, Ohio State should still be the #1 seed because they shouldn’t be punished for losing to Indiana. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Duke won its first outright football championship since 1962. Indiana won the Big Ten outright for the first time since 1945. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Duke and Indiana have won their respective conference FOOTBALL championships on the same night. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I never want to see Semaj Morgan play another down for Michigan. He can keep his championship ring, but let him play football in the MAC or FCS. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Todd McLellan can only get so much out of such an untalented team. The Yzerplan is an abject failure. His tenure in the front office is worse than the Darkness with Harkness Dead Wings. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Might be time to take Bryce out of this game. By far his worst game as a Wolverine to date. He’s young, he’ll make mistakes, but if Michigan loses this game, it’ll be largely his fault. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 11/10/2025I would have loved to see the Lions draft Cam Skattebo. His style fits perfectly. Baller. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 11/10/2025The only thing more annoying than Riley Greene’s strikeouts is his popouts. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Your 2025 AL Central champions, the Cleveland Guardians. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 03/09/2025This is half of what Micah Parsons got. I suspect Brad Holmes is keeping his powder dry in case he needs to upgrade the O line at the trade deadline. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 28/08/2025That sound you heard was the Packers slamming the door shut on the Lions’ Super Bowl hopes. 010
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 24/08/2025Flaherty cannot be on the playoff roster unless he’s strictly relief. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Great pitchers’ duel between Tarik Skubal and Wayne State’s own Hunter Brown. 000

Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 10/08/2025All those trades at the trade deadline somehow made the Tigers pitching staff worse. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 09/08/2025The Lions-Falcons game is over. Suspended with 6:19 left in the fourth quarter after Detroit’s Maurice Norris was taken off the field by ambulance. The final score was 17-10 Lions. 022
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Brad Holmes has done a good job in the draft, but Hendon Hooker was a huge swing-and-miss. Time to cut bait. 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Here’s how I see the AL Central at season’s end, based on current trends: CLE 93-69 KCR 83-79 DET 80-82 MIN 75-87 CHW 68-94 020
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Since July 8, the Tigers are 7-16 while the Guardians are 17-7. Assuming both teams stay on that pace (no reason to think they won’t), Cleveland will finish 93-69, 13 games ahead of Detroit (80-82). 000
Pat Batcheller @patbatcheller.bsky.social · 06/08/2025It’s pretty clear now that the Tigers 31-13 run last fall was a fluke. I wonder how they will explain the collapse when they’re watching the playoffs from home instead of participating 000
