The officials played an oversized role in Auburn's 20-10 loss against the Georgia Bulldogs, but the Tigers' problems go deeper than that.

Kyle Tucker strode up to the plate in the top of the sixth inning and ground his left foot into the dirt. The chalk at the back of the batter’s box of Game 5 of the National League Division Series had long been swept away over the previous five innings of play.

"First of all, you have to give Northwestern and Coach Braun a ton of credit," Franklin said in his postgame press conference. "We shouldn’t lose that game. It’s 100% on me, and we have to get it fixed, and I will get it fixed."

Detroit Tigers radio announcer Dan Dickerson was caught swearing into a hot mic during a commercial break following the team's ALDS Game 5 loss.

The team has now lost eight consecutive games against Power Four opponents dating back to last season. The Wisconsin Badgers hit yet another low on Saturday night, as they fell to the rival Iowa Hawkeyes 37-0.

Carpenter entered the night 5-for-11 with five homers in his career against Seattle starter George Kirby. He added two singles in his first three innings, but both were harmless. As Kirby breezed through the rest of the Tigers’ lineup, everyone had Carpenter’s third at-bat circled as a potential pivotal moment.

The Cubs have some stars to be excited about, but there are also clear holes on the roster that the front office needs to address.

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost more than the game on Saturday night against the Red Wings, as injury claimed another key forward.
