All these guys had to do was score 2 runs in the first full 8 innings. They struck out 14 times! And granted, that two of those came in the bottom of the ninth and the bottom of the 10th that wouldn’t have been played if they had scored two runs in the first full eight innings, but it’s still too common an event. And the Blue Jays struck out only six times in 10 innings. Making contact makes a difference.

A glass of '92 Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon and Cleveland smack talk.

Letting Torkelson field pop ups sounds like a bad idea though

Well, that's disappointing. We are now 20-26 with a pythag of 22-24, and not an over-.500 pythag mainly as a result of handing our asses to the Mets.

Ok take a shot for everytime Harden flops.

I've worked for several companies and think people are a bit wiser on what they say, but I don't really talk to any co-workers about personal matters or see any of them outside of work. I am 100% all business at work, and I work with about 75% women and the other 25% are IT developers...the majority have zero social skills, so I just keep to myself. But as I mentioned, when I worked at the casino sexual innuendo and straight harassment was the rule rather than the exception. I was a 22 year old fresh meat dealer just paying my way through college and could have went to HR every night to complain about inappropriate comments or actions from the women supervisors and managers. I imagine the male supervisors were just as bad to the younger female dealers

i also really hate cleveland fans. i remember them from the 90s too. They were very annoying AND cocky. like "were not from detroit" as if cleveland was a much better city. the indians hadnt won anything in forever (and still havent), and they came in and acted like they were superior to the tigers historically. i ran into cleveland fans in napa of all places and they were talking a lot of smack. not like in a funny way, but in a serious "**** detroit, you suck" way. so cleveland can go **** itself.

The results matter. So whether your opinion is you like it or don't like it, the results go into the record books as a loss. So in that regard, it's not "fake."

He's looking good for free agency. If he keeps this up he will get a nice contract from a contender for next season.

Is that.....fake news? 🤣🤣

I try to stay out of the echo chamber and let you guys group cope. A few folks tag me so I respond once in a while. CMR and I had some history with Virginia and their unconstitutional attempt to gerrymander so that was fun to chime in on. side note: if you have a chance to visit Costa Rica 🇨🇷 please do! We are having a blast and things are very cheap.I am one week into our month long sabbatical. Contemplating purchasing a condo for snow birding now that I am retiring…..

Only after The Athletic blew the lid off of it, though.

just hit 80 here

You would think with all the examples of people losing their jobs from sexual harassment or whatever term you want to use, they would be a bit wiser. I have to think since the Bill Clinton era that it is common knowledge that this kind of stuff usually comes back to bite you.

I think this kind of crap happens in a lot of places, especially in the male environment of pro sports. It's good that the Tigers organization is addressing it.

Extra innng losses don't feel as bad because it's fake baseball. I did watch it this time...mostly because I wanted to see McGonigle and Dingler bat.

We need to tell him not to try to make any plays on defense. Don't come off the mound for a pop-up, let the other guys manage getting a ball to 1st. Just pitch and then stand still.

Phooey.

Well on the plus side, Casey looked great.

really irritating when they waste good pitching like this.

He's not down too much on average FB but his peak fastball is down 2-3 mph. Sometimes that's why a guy tries to stay away from the plate more.

He used to pound the strike zone too—now his control isn’t there

the breakers aren't breaking enough and the fast ones aren't fast enough.

Ok Jake is walking this one off. Stash power activate
