Wake Up Woodward I Thursday, September 19th, 2024

Wake Up, Woodward! What’s on tap today with the WUW Crew? LAYUP LINES TIGERS BEAT ROYALS 4-2 | TWINS LOSE TO GUARDIANS 5-4 Record: 80-73 0.5 GB after Minnesota loss to Guardians in extras Top of the 3rd inning - Riley Greene’s solo homer to leadoff 3rd puts Tigers up 2-1 - Trey Sweeney 1-out, 2-run double makes it 4-2 Tork incredible diving catch in top of the 9th on Massey line drive (also had 3 walks in the game) DETROIT TIGERS Did Tarik Skubal lock up the AL Cy Young Award with Wednesday’s win? How many Tigers players have looked completely different now than they did at an earlier point of the season? MLB Hitting coach Michael Brdar (pron: burr-darr) deserves some flowers Chris Fetter - Is he the most valuable “assistant” coach in the MLB right now? Broder has a hypothetical offseason question for the WUW crew: “This offseason, what contract extension should be the priority: Chris Fetter or Tarik Skubal?” DETROIT LIONS VS. ARIZONA CARDINALS - WEEK 3 Worried about injuries heading into the weekend? Can the Lions offense get on track? Where should Ben Johnson attack the Cardinals defense? Who do the Lions miss more: Jonah Jackson or Josh Reynolds? Where should Aaron Glenn attack the Cardinals offense? Will the Lions defense limit Kyler Murray’s legs and force him to win with his arm? Or are you more worried about his arm than his legs? Hypothetically, Anzalone is out Sunday…are you confident enough in Jack Campbell stepping up against Kyler and the Cardinals? AROUND THE NFL - WEEK 3 What’s your interest level in tonight’s TNF matchup between the Jets and Pats? Jordan Love returns to practice and may be able to play Sunday vs. Titans Which 0-2 team are you confident will turn it around, and who is headed for more losses? Ravens, Bengals or Rams Which 2-0 team is for real, and which is the biggest pretender? Chargers, Steelers, Seahawks, Vikings, Saints Bucs Can you believe Bryce Young got benched already in Carolina? Is he done, or is this a learning experience? Any head scratchers in the first-time nominees for 2025 Hall of Fame class: Eli Manning, Luke Kuechly, Terrell Suggs, Adam Vinatieri, Marshawn Lynch, Darren Sproles, Vernon Davis, Aqib Talib, Earl Thomas, How much better are the returning nominees (just missed the cut last year)?
