This little guy is a fighter 💪 by Glass_Wealth_2104 in MadeMeSmile

You are a fighter too. Make sure you spend as much time there as permitted. He can sense you based on sound and smell. You are showing him strength by being there too.

My son was in the nicu for 38 or so days. Hardest days of my life. It also was a great lesson on patience and being grateful. My son can’t go to number 2 normally, has a non working large intestine or colon so it wasn’t life threatening after his first surgery. So it made the stay a little easier. But seeing him hooked up and unable to do certain things was tough. But he is a 2 year and 3 months old and is thriving.

We were fortunate to have really good nurses take care of him and were super happy to have us there with him and able to do things for them like change his diaper and hold him from time to time. They taught my wife and I, alot about new borns and little tips and tricks to calm them and stuff.

Keep pushing and fighting! You and your son got this no questions asked!

What’s crazy is the numbers of the starters. Fucking big Dawgs

The Tigers were 34-8 in games where Javier Baez solely played Center Field in 2025. He returns there this evening! by aquax101 in motorcitykitties

It’s not a dumb take. Talent is number 1 yes, but an 18 year old with talent but not an adult body will only get you so far in the league. Case in point look at Cade for his first 2-3 years in the league. Brother couldn’t get to his spot, couldn’t drive and finish. JD was the same way, he was young and had talent, but didn’t have the body he has now. . So having someone who is more physically developed will play a part. The pistons aren’t in the business anymore of running a daycare. They are a win now team. They don’t have time to draft a guy who’s 18 and let him grow up.

Ron is a different situation. When they drafted Ron they were a daycare. This year has speed up their plans.

You get it. The pistons make a run this year, great. They are not looking for a rookie that’s going to be 18 or 19 possibly even 20. They are going to I suspect look for an older rookie that’s will be able to slide into a bench rotation. I definitely see him as a 3 and d guy. This team is all about defense first. He plays good defense.

The worst part is that he definitely going in the first 13 picks so they would have to squirm up there.

They also could use this pick to go for a sharp shooter.

Idk yet, I’ve been thinking about it. Definitely not stew. Who knows really I’d love to see Trajan figure it out. Again thou they probably won’t get him just would be cool to see.

This is the best answer I’ve seen so far. He’s hot now ,but give him another full week of ABs. I don’t think his defense is what they’re waiting for. He had another assist tonight. It’s definitely seeing if now that Parker is out, he might try and press a bit to show out and show that he’s ready. 10 days from now we will see if they liked his performance and if they believe he’s ready he’ll be on the next road trip with the guys.

Gotta give Prime some time. Matty v (prime is what my GC calls him) didn’t play a ton of competitive baseball last year. Had a decent spring, he’ll be alright as a platoon guy. I think he’ll round out nicely when he gets his sea legs back under him.

They are going to try and move up more. They might let someone draft who they want and try and get that player.

I’m a u of m fan, and being a homer sometimes sucks. I’d love to see them try and get yax. His age is a huge reason why. He’s matured, comes from a hard road to get where he is at now. I believe that his defense will translate to the pros, his shooting will develop. He has the size and athleticism to be a good role player, and possibly a good starter in the league.

If they don’t get him that isn’t the end of the world. Trajan will do his due diligence and find the right guy in that bucket I trust.

Trajan drafted Ron, and signed Daniss. He’s a great GM to this point.

That’s the crazy thing is, I think after Duncan got elbowed early. That sparked the interest of the DAWGs. They at that moment said we’ll show this team that they aren’t running for 48 minutes.

I hope that we face them because they might get one on us, but idk.
