SI:AM | Canes One Win Away After Bold Goalie Decision
DAN GARTLAND
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I can’t think of a better way to watch the opening game of the World Cup than what I did yesterday: in a barbershop where I was the only one who didn’t speak Spanish, absorbing maybe 40% of everyone’s arguments about who was going to win the tournament.
In today’s SI:AM:
🇲🇽 Mexico’s joyous opening victory
Rookie goalie comes up huge for Canes
James Guillory/Imagn Images
The Hurricanes are on the cusp of their first Stanley Cup championship in 20 years, and they can thank a rookie goaltender.
Carolina won Game 5 against the Golden Knights on Thursday, 4–2, to take a 3–2 lead in the series and will lift the Cup if they can win Game 6 on Sunday in Vegas.
The win marked the second straight win for Carolina after a heartbreaking double overtime loss in Game 3. That was when the Canes decided to make a switch at goalie.
Veteran Frederik Andersen started the first 16 games of the postseason for Carolina and was mostly pretty good, posting one shutout in each of the team’s first three series. But he was less sharp in the Final, giving up five goals on 23 shots in Game 1 and three goals on 26 shots in Game 2. Game 3 was especially rough for Andersen, as he allowed four goals in the second period. When the Canes took the ice for the third period, Andersen was replaced by Brandon Bussi.
The 27-year-old rookie rose to the occasion and stood tall as Carolina pulled off an incredible comeback (scoring three goals in 39 seconds) to tie the game. Bussi did allow the winning goal in double overtime, but he played well enough (stopping 18 of the 19 shots he faced) to earn the starting nod in Games 4 and 5.
Going with Bussi was a bold choice by Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour. When he was called upon for surprise mop-up duty in Game 3, it was Bussi’s first game action in nearly two months. He’d never played in a playoff game before. Now, he’s the first goalie in NHL history to make his first two career playoff starts in the Stanley Cup Final and win both. Andersen, meanwhile, did not dress for Game 4 or 5. Third-stringer Pyotr Kochetkov served as Bussi’s backup, and the Canes also called up Amir Miftakhov from the AHL to be the third goalie.
It’s usually a bad sign when a team needs to shuffle its goalies in a playoff series, but Bussi has risen to the occasion and now needs to lead the Canes to just one more win before he can become one of the most unlikely goaltenders to win a Stanley Cup.
Skubal’s trade deadline audition
Junfu Han/Imagn Images
Contenders all across MLB will be keeping a close eye on tomorrow’s Tigers-Guardians game.
Back-to-back Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is set to make his first start in six weeks after recovering from surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow. Skubal had the operation just 38 days ago.
The Tigers have taken a nosedive since Skubal’s injury. They were 15–16 after he made his last start and have gone 14–24 since. They’re in fourth place in the AL Central, eight games behind the first-place White Sox. (Yes, the White Sox are in first place.)
Skubal is set to become a free agent this offseason and has long been viewed as a likely trade candidate. The injury cast some doubt on whether he’d be moved before the deadline, but his relatively quick return gives him plenty of time to prove to potential suitors that he’s worth surrendering a haul of prospects to acquire.
The other thing about the timing of Skubal’s return is that it gives the Tigers more time to close the gap in the Central. This year’s trade deadline isn’t until Aug. 3. The return of Skubal and No. 2 starter Casey Mize, who hasn’t pitched since suffering a groin injury on May 27, will give Detroit a boost it sorely needs. Mize is expected to start on Sunday in Cleveland. If they can help get the Tigers back in the postseason hunt, then Skubal and Mize will be valuable pieces down the stretch. If the Tigers are still languishing by the time the deadline comes, then both might be finishing the season elsewhere.

1 Peter 5:5-6 – Biblical Humility: Submitting to God and Serving Others with Restraint
Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.
1 Peter 5:5-6
(5) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. (6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
King James Version Change email Bible version
Those with humility submit. Their dealings with other people are very restrained.
It is interesting that Peter says “be clothed with humility,” which in Greek literally means “put on the apron of humility.” An apron is a symbol of service. He is likely thinking back to the last Passover with Jesus, where He “took a towel and girded Himself.” Then what did He do? He served. This leads to what humility produces next: The humble choose to serve. They do not fight—they serve. They do not judge—they serve.
The Bible shows quite a number of men who did not look humble on the outside but were in reality—in the eyes of God—humble! Moses and David were both warriors and powerful political figures. In what way were they humble? Regardless of what they were—judge, king, prophet—they submitted to God. Regardless of what it cost them, they submitted to God, and sometimes they had to give orders or do things that we would consider to be quite difficult to do, like going to war or executing transgressors.
For a person to be humble in the biblical sense, he must know what is true and right, have a good grasp of reality, and submit to it. Ephesians 5:21 and Philippians 2:3 both show in broad principle what humility tends to do to a person. He is restrained, but at the same time, he is constrained to serve and to submit. Conversely, those who destroy unity are those who exalt themselves against God, men, doctrines, and right traditions (II Thessalonians 2:15; 3:6).
— John W. Ritenbaugh

Skubal is back. What happens now?
Friday, June 12
Welcome to The Pregame Lineup, a weekday newsletter that gets you up to speed on everything you need to know for today’s games, while catching you up on fun and interesting stories you might have missed. Today’s edition is brought to you by Brian Murphy.
Tarik Skubal is back, ahead of most projected recovery timetables. And not a moment too soon for the Tigers.
Pitchers who undergo elbow surgeries similar to the one performed on Skubal on May 6typically need two to three months to recover. When the Tigers ace steps atop the mound to face Cleveland at Progressive Field on Saturday afternoon, he will be just 38 days post-op. Viva la “Skubal Scope”!
This is a remarkable development for arguably the best pitcher in the sport, and how he performs going forward will have ripple effects for both his team and any suitors ahead of the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline.
Here are three pressing questions that will hover over Skubal both tomorrow and in the weeks ahead:
Will he look like himself?
Skubal’s one rehab start provided plenty of optimism: five scoreless innings on 54 pitches, two hits allowed, no walks and six strikeouts while reportedly popping 99 mph on the radar gun. Of course, shutting down High-A hitters isn’t the same as dominating Major Leaguers, so the question will remain unanswered until we see exactly what he has for the Guardians.
Can he help the Tigers make a run?
Detroit fell into an abyss as soon as Skubal hit the injured list on May 4. From that point, the club went 4-21 to finish out the month, dropping from a first-place tie into the AL Central cellar. The main issue had little to do with Skubal’s absence; the Tigers’ offense averaged 2.6 runs per game during that stretch.
Detroit, however, is slowly climbing back into contention. It has won seven of its first nine games this month and is averaging 6.9 runs per. Despite a 29-40 record, the Tigers are just 5 1/2 games back of a playoff spot in the wide-open American League.
Just a couple more solid weeks could turn the Tigers from prospective sellers into buyers (or at least cause them to stand pat and ride out the rest of the season with their two-time Cy Young Award winner). Skubal’s presence will obviously help the cause, but whether the bats stay hot will have just as much of an impact on the team’s postseason chances.
If not, will the Tigers make a Skubal swap instead?
There must be a growing sense of optimism around the Tigers as they prepare to welcome Skubal back into the fold.
But there is a very real possibility that this just doesn’t work out. If Detroit slumps over the next six weeks, a trade involving Skubal seems likely. MLB Network insider Jon Heyman opined last week that there was a 90% chance that the left-hander will be on a new team by the Deadline.
That also hinges on the answer to our first question. If Detroit gets stuck in neutral but Skubal proves that he is back to normal, the chances of a trade would seemingly increase, especially since the pending free-agent and the team have been far apart in contract extension discussions, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.
HISTORICALLY HIGH OCTANE
For the large majority of baseball history, measuring pitch velocity has been an inexact science.
In 1917, Walter Johnson’s fastball was clocked with military technology used to measure the speed of artillery shells.
Bob Feller’s fastball was measured against the speed of a passing police motorcycle in 1939.
Nolan Ryan at least had rudimentary radar guns to document the velo on his legendary heater.
If you want to say that any of those guys threw the hardest pitches in baseball history, feel free. Just understand that there’s absolutely no way to prove that.
Thanks to advancements in tech, what we can prove, unequivocally, is that the Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski is the hardest-throwing pitcher in MLB history.
It’s not close, really. And there’s data to back it up.
MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince lays out all of the evidence here. And Misiorowski will add to it tonight when he starts against the Phillies in Milwaukee (7:40 p.m. ET, MLB.TV).
GAMES TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND
We’ve got an unlikely duel between first-place clubs, an AL East postseason rematch and a pitching matchup with Cy Young implications this weekend. Here are three games to watch, one for each day.
Today: Dodgers at White Sox (7:40 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)
The Dodgers are in first place in the NL West. Sounds about right.
The White Sox are in first place in the AL Central. Wait, come again?
The only series this weekend between clubs at the top of their respective divisions isn’t one we could have possibly predicted two months ago. But isn’t that what makes baseball grand? The White Sox just took two games at home from the powerhouse Braves. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are waiting to see if Shohei Ohtani will be good to go after leaving Thursday’s game with left knee inflammation.
Tomorrow: Yankees at Blue Jays (3:07 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)
About one hour before Skubal throws his first pitch in Cleveland, Cam Schlittler — the American League’s ERA leader (1.87) — will toe the rubber at Rogers Centre. This will be his and the Yankees’ first trip to Toronto since last season’s ALDS, which the Blue Jays won in four games. The Yankees are tied for first in the AL East (41-26) while Toronto (33-36) is nine games back in the division but only 1 1/2 behind in the Wild Card chase.
Sunday: Phillies at Brewers (2:10 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)
A matchup between Cristopher Sánchez and Kyle Harrison would have looked more attractive if the latter hadn’t just given up eight earned runs in his most recent start against the A’s. Even still, Harrison has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the season and had given up only four earned runs in his previous 39 2/3 frames before that outing in Las Vegas. On the other side, Sánchez is not too far removed from an historic run of scoreless innings. Watching these two southpaws on contending clubs go pitch for pitch should be must-watch stuff on Sunday afternoon.
SEE THE STARS OF TOMORROW — TODAY!
Actually, right now!
There’s likely a Men’s College World Series game on as you read this. The MCWS began this afternoon in Omaha with West Virginia taking on Troy. It continues tonight with North Carolina facing Mississippi at 7 ET.
Twenty-three players in the eight-team field are among MLB.com’s Top 200 Draft Rankings. Here are a few names to keep your eye on:
Alabama SS Justin Lebron (No. 9)
No NBA jokes, please. Perhaps the most tooled-up player in the entire class, Lebron was viewed last year as a possibility for the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming Draft. That’s no longer the case, but with plus power, speed and defense, Lebron should still hear his name called early in the first round. In his most recent mock draft, MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo has Lebron coming off the board at No. 11 to the Nationals.
Mississippi RHP Cade Townsend (No. 27)
Townsend registered 88 strikeouts in 64 innings this season and a 4:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Draft-eligible sophomore features a five-pitch mix, highlighted by a fastball that can touch 98 mph and a curveball, slider and cutter that each have a 60 grade on the 20-80 scouting scale.
Texas OF Aiden Robbins (No. 30)
The right-handed slugger has hit 24 home runs this season, including five through five games in the NCAA Tournament. He has a tendency to chase too much, but that aggressiveness has played a central role in his increased power.
Read MLB.com’s full team-by-team breakdown of the MCWS here >>
NEVER GIVE UP
Daniel Espino was primed to be a star for the Guardians. A 2019 first-round Draft pick and the No. 16 overall prospect in MLB as recently as 2023, the right-handed pitcher could once throw 103 mph.
He just couldn’t stay healthy. From 2022-25, Espino pitched a total of 19 Minor League innings. He underwent multiple shoulder surgeries and missed entire seasons. He also endured a profound loss away from the field.
But his story is one of perseverance, and that has paid off. The Guardians are promoting Espino from Triple-A Columbus ahead of tonight’s opener against the Tigers at Progressive Field, putting the 25-year-old in line to finally make his big league debut this weekend.

To see SpaceX go public is such a triumph of human ingenuity, ragged determination, and the incredible vision and persistence to attempt to do things thought to be impossible.
I can’t help but be reminded of all the haters, the decels, and even the NASA Apollo astronauts who were so disparaging of Elon Musk and SpaceX. As Seneca said, The best revenge is to not be like them.
Musk and his teams didn’t allow that nonsense to bother them. They used it as fuel. They proved them wrong. And they delivered.
Elon Musk is now a trillionaire – the world’s first, and rightfully so.
This should be celebrated.
Musk has defined an entire industry of electric vehicles. He developed the most advanced and safest self-driving technology the world has ever seen, which will eventually save a million lives a year. He created clean energy production through residential solar panels. He helps those who are paraplegic speak and work with computers just using their thoughts through Neuralink. He removes congestion in cities with tunneling technology through the Boring Company. He created reusable rockets at SpaceX, which has enabled the entire space economy. He’s enabling artificial general intelligence at xAI. And perhaps the greatest gift of all has been restoring freedom of speech at X.
Almost his entire net worth is tied up in equity in the companies that he has built. He’s not living a lavish and leisurely lifestyle. Musk works nearly every waking hour to accomplish as much as he can. And his guiding purpose is to make the human race a multi-planetary species so that we can expand human consciousness among the stars – and have a backup plan in the event that something horrible happens here on Earth.
What a gift to humanity.
We need Musk to stay healthy and productive for as long as possible. Just imagine what breakthroughs he will bring in the next 20 years.
So yes, we should celebrate his success and the success of SpaceX.
The human race is transforming into a world of abundance. It’s within our reach as long as we fight for freedom and maintain a regulatory environment that is pro-innovation, pro-growth, pro-energy, and supports the rule of law.
We have so much to look forward to.
Elon’s Wish List
Hey Jeff, so what do you think Elon is going to do with the $26B/yr rental income he’s going to pull in renting Colossus I to Anthropic and Google? Does this revenue sweeten the SpaceX IPO at all for you? I put in to buy 20 shares for next week’s offering. Cheers.

Hello, Gary,
I’m glad you wrote in about this topic. It’s an interesting one that most aren’t aware of.
For everyone’s benefit, the “$26B/yr rental income” refers to two recently announced deals by SpaceX:
- Anthropic signed up to spend $1.25 billion a month through May 2029 to gain access to all the capacity on the SpaceX Colossus I data center
- Google signed up to spend $920 million a month for capacity on the Colossus II data center starting October 2026 through June 2029
Combined, these two deals will bring up to $26 billion a year of cloud services revenue to SpaceX.
This is so impressive. xAI went from being considered too far behind to even have a chance at catching up with the rest of the frontier AI model field… to demonstrating best-in-class performance across most AI benchmarks in less than 18 months.
SpaceX/xAI built out massive AI data centers in a fraction of the time as the rest of the industry. Even NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said he has never seen anything like it.
SpaceX was more efficient and productive than all of the major cloud service providers and AI companies. And SpaceX is also the most efficient in training its own AI models, which is why it has the ability to lease out compute to Anthropic and Google. And how ironic that Google is leasing computational resources from SpaceX, considering it is one of the largest cloud service providers in the world.
Back of the envelope, my estimation is that SpaceX has spent $25–30 billion to build out Colossus I and Colossus II. So, generating $26 billion in annual revenue is pretty incredible. This is a phenomenal business in itself.
However, SpaceX’s goal isn’t to just sit still and pull in the profits. SpaceX will continue to invest heavily in building out more AI data center capacity, the Terafab, and of course, executing on the engineering and vision for the Starship.
So yes, long term, this is a great development for SpaceX and a very smart business. It’s also very smart from an antitrust perspective. SpaceX is demonstrating that it will lease out its own capacity to direct competitors in artificial intelligence and cloud services like Anthropic and Google.
We should expect a lot of volatility in SpaceX’s share price, along the lines of how Tesla trades. Because this is an Elon Musk company, it will trade at a premium valuation, so there will be a lot of hemming and hawing over whether SpaceX is overvalued or undervalued.
Putting today’s valuation aside, long-term, I am certain that SpaceX will eventually be worth tens of trillions of dollars.

Your Absolute Last Chance: Countdown to the SpaceX IPO
The New York Times called the SpaceX IPO “A generational moneymaking event.” But buying shares of SpaceX when it goes public today is NOT the best way to cash in on this historic event. Click here and Jeff will tell you about an early stage investment that’s directly tied to the growth of SpaceX… But that has the potential to return 10 times, 20 times, and even 50 times more money than the IPO itself.
Can We Really Trust Blockchain Technology?
I just read an article by MN Gordon. Maybe he’s an alarmist. He refers to the idea of restricting our behavior through the government control of money and people through stablecoins.
He also says the struggle behind the new legislation in Congress is about the ability of banks to keep using deposits almost for free (and take advantage of depositors) so they can continue to make a profit on the spread or lend it out in our fractional reserve system. It also allows the government an endless stream of backed cash in the form of Treasury bills for continued overspending. It’s the way the bills are written that allows this.
It will be sold on the basis of convenience, lower transaction fees, and implemented at a time of crisis like a recession or other calamity. The article also comments that the only recourse to avoid this situation will be to have assets off the electronic grid like precious metals. In order to be free, we would need a black market and break the law.
There are a lot of machines and systems I use that I don’t fully understand, but they function well and allow me a better life. I don’t know if blockchain will be one of them. It scares the hell out of me.
– Thomas K.
Hello, Thomas, I’m not familiar with the article that you reference, but I can provide some context on the points that you share.
No, blockchain technology isn’t a force for taking away any freedoms, nor are stablecoins. Just like pretty much any technology, people can choose to use it for good or malicious purposes.
During the Biden administration, a cabal of people wanted to implement a central bank-controlled digital wallet and a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for the explicitpurpose of restricting and controlling our behavior – and for the redistribution of wealth from the working class (us taxpayers) to those that they deemed suitable to receive payments.
There is also truth to your comments above about the banks wanting to “keep using deposits almost for free (and take advantage of depositors).” This is exactly what is happening today. The spread on what banks pay us for deposits versus what they receive from the U.S. government in U.S. Treasuries is arguably criminal.
And the only reason that the digital assets market structure bill – the CLARITY Act – hasn’t already become law is because the banks are trying to stop non-bank institutions like Coinbase or Kraken from offering competitive interest rate payments on stablecoin deposits. They are trying to avoid consumers moving their capital to where it will be treated better.
From my perspective, this should be a free market. Digital asset exchanges should be able to offer yield on stablecoin deposits. It would benefit consumers. And that’s what we’re fighting for. Brownstone Research is a long-standing member of The Digital Chamber, and we help advocate for fair and reasonable regulations for digital assets, consumers, and investors.
At the moment, the current administration is pro-digital assets and extremely supportive of the new regulatory framework that the industry is working so hard to put in place. Under this regulatory environment, this technology can be used to reduce friction and dramatically lower transaction fees for consumers (i.e., they want to use this technology for the benefit of Americans and, for that matter, the rest of the world).
As for stablecoins and overspending, this isn’t a technology issue. This is a government issue. Whether stablecoins exist or not, any government can “print money” and create massive deficits.
I’m not happy at all with the size of the current deficit and want to see it shrink by at least $1 trillion during the next 24 months. If we’ve learned anything over the last 12 months, it’s that there has been more than $1 trillion of systemic fraud that has robbed honest, hardworking taxpayers of their money. It is so refreshing to see the current task force on fraud making so much progress right now. It’s time to shut all the fraud down, eliminate wasteful spending, and ultimately get back to a balanced budget.
Crypto All-Time Highs
Congratulations on realizing your 2026 New Year’s prediction for all-time highs on AMD and NVDA, among others, in 2026. It already happened! It is marvelous.
But I’m concerned about your crypto services… You predicted BTC would reach 130K and ETH over 5K by 2026. Given recent market developments and BTC’s dramatic failure to act as “digital gold,” do you still think 130K and 5K would happen in 2026?
– Nian Y.
Hi, Nian,
Thanks for that. I always take heat for so many of my predictions. Many subscribers think that I am crazy, time and again, for my “outlandish” predictions. And yet here we are… right again. That makes me very happy because it means that my subscribers are increasing their wealth and taking steps toward a wonderful retirement.
And you’re right. Digital assets have had a tough run since October last year. The culprit has been the delay in the passing of the market structure bill for digital assets – the CLARITY Act. I mention this because my predictions about BTC and ETH are premised on the CLARITY Act passing this year. If it doesn’t pass, then I don’t expect to hit those predicted targets.
I still have optimism. The wind blows differently every day in Washington, D.C., over the digital assets legislation. There are so many hard-working, smart people doing their very best to push this bill over the line this summer. Something as large, complex, and transformative as the CLARITY Act doesn’t come easy. I am confident it will happen; I just can’t promise a date.
It’s worth noting that all asset classes go through bullish and bearish cycles. No asset class has ever been in a perpetual bull market. This is precisely why I produce a wide range of investment research on different asset classes and investment/trading strategies. My goal is to always have valuable investment research regardless of what kind of market we’re in. That’s exactly why we have a product like Deep Access, which enables subscribers to profit from volatility – and even in horrible bear market conditions.
Brownstone Research is the largest growth asset investment research firm in the world. This is what we specialize in. That’s why it is critical for us to publish investment/trading research on digital assets in bull or bear markets. And once the CLARITY Act passes – and it will – the digital asset markets will take off.
Jeff
P.S. I’ve made some big calls in my career. Bitcoin at $240 (up over 25,000%)… Tesla at $20 (up over 2,000%)… NVIDIA at a split-adjusted 66¢ (up over 32,000%)…
And I’ve personally seen gains of 1,000% or more on my money, on more than 30 separate occasions (including gains of over 100X and over 200X). But I want to share something that could be bigger than all of them combined.
Next Wednesday, June 17, at 8 p.m. ET, I’ll be at an exclusive private briefing at the home of former billion-dollar hedge fund manager Larry Benedict. I’d like you to join me…
Larry and I will be sharing a once-in-a-generation situation playing out in one small corner of the investment world that could be the biggest edge available to regular people. That’s why Larry’s calling it “the last unrigged market in America.”
This is a very time-sensitive opportunity. It is developing quickly.
And on Wednesday, Larry and I will sit down to show you exactly what this opportunity is – and the exact strategy for playing it for maximum profits.
