I was at the next urinal to Wayne Gretzky when I was 14 and he wasn’t too much bigger (taller) than me.

Wow, Daniella looks like a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz standing next to Parker

1.99 ERA

if it rains even a little bit, the steel plates the tanks will be on will crack and the Abrams will fall through to the magma and create a super caldera which will destroy the entire eastern seaboard. I hope Trump knows this.

I'm a Benetti fan. Every PBP announcer has their own style, it takes some getting used to. Benetti is very good, it takes skill to be able to work effectively with different partners and adapt their differing styles and personalities effectively. Not to mention all the extra curricular stuff the modern day broadcast has to contend with. But then I view the TV broadcast as a supplement to the game. The game is on the screen, I don't need anyone to explain every detail to me even though I'm usually multitasking during the game. The commentary is just background noise. It's a bit like overhearing a couple guys around you discussing the game and other stuff. That's what most people do when they go to the park. If you want straight PBP, get a radio.

Calls grow for Kristi Noem to resign in the wake of Padilla incident | The Independent

I like Benetti a lot. He seems to be somewhat polarizing with Tiger fans, especially with the older ones. He’s such a massive upgrade from Shep.

Noem's crack security team thought Padilla was trying to steal her purse.

Thank you for clarifying.

I was taller than Eric Hasse.

On that note you don't appreciate how tall many major leaguers are until you are up close to them. I remember the first time I had on deck seats as an adult like 20 some years ago it was against the Yankees and it blew me away how tall Derek Jeter actually looked when he was standing just a few feet from me.

McGonigle has two doubles and a homer so far tonight.

He told to leave? I didn't hear that. Hell, rewatching the video, I'm not sure more than six seconds lapsed from the moment he started speaking to federal officers laying hands on him. Seems pretty clear to me that federal officers escalated this situation and deserve the brunt of the blame. Says the guy saying that a federally elected representative from California, and someone who was born, raised and lived in Los Angeles, who dared to ask a question of an unelected federal bureaucrat who is carrying out a policy that his constituents largely detest, is the real bad guy here.

Nothing that happened in that room warranted him being slammed to the ground and handcuffed. Absolutely nothing.

And Sunday June 29th against the Twins has been changed to a night game for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

By the way, in case you’re into this kind of thing, the next time the Tigers are on Apple TV they will be playing the Mariners at home on July 11.

Can't believe Jace Laviolette has fallen off so badly..looked like a top end talent in last year's CWS

Sewell and Giamatti had just worked together in "the Illusionist" with Ed Norton before this series was made.

I guess I'm confused as to what we expect from a TV play by play guy? We can all see what is going on. I want to be entertained a little bit. I like the concept of watching "with" someone. Like MST3K in a smaller sense.

Makes you feel like a grandpa. Doesn't it?

Shep was horrible as were Morris and Monroe. It's a huge upgrade all around.

This weekend is the 40th anniversary of my high school graduation. The Tigers were the defending World Series champions when I finished high school. To a high school senior graduating in this year's class of 2025, the year 1985 is as far back in the history books as 1945/the end of WWII was to my class when we graduated. That has nothing to do with tonight's game, but just wow, I think I need a moment.

Newsom nearly dropped an f-bomb!

I like Benneti. A Lot I like Dirks. A Lot I dislike them together. A Lot it's like trouble makers in school—they need to be separated. Split them up with the Dan’s on TV and radio.

Nahhh, send 'em Trey Sweeney straight up, that should do it. 😉

He gave one to a pill-popping junkie in Rush Limbaugh, so this makes sense. Normally, I would not make fun of people for having a substance abuse problem. But since the right and MAGA always deride people on welfare and those who are low-income as drug addicts, no sense not calling El-Rushblow what he is.

Noem should resign for saying she and the military and in Cali for regime change.

Trump will be awarding her a “Medal of Freedom”.

I like Benetti's style because baseball is a long season with a lot of downtime. I was thinking about this the other day in terms of going to games. I attend about 30 a year, 25+ in the same spot near the same people. That's a lot of hours. At some point you find yourself just dazing around and distracted from the actual game. Same as in a booth. A random July game on the west coast and the two guys are talking about a TV show or focusing on a fan eating ribs or chicken wings. We can see the game in front of us, we don't need constant analysis on that. Although the last few years at Comerica they've amped up the filler between downtime. Not a fan of that. Every spare second has to be monetized. Between that and the pitch clock I feel rushed as a fan. Let us savor things.

I don't think anyone who has criticized Benetti disagrees that he's a massive upgrade from Shep.

Wait for it...

My memory is having a hard time distinguishing between Harry Carey and Will Ferrell's Harry Carey.... like a Tina Fey/Sarah Palin kind of thing. "DId he say that or was it the parody? I swear I heard him say that...."

Newsom's presser last night was thrilling. It was as if someone with a few political skills who was not 99 years old was finally in the fight and in front of a camera with his dander up.

good. I like those 3:30-4:00 PDT start times.

Looking at the remaining schedule, the Tigers don't leave the Eastern Time Zone until after the break where they open the 2nd half at Texas. Aside from that they only play 1 series west of KC all season and that is 3 games against the A's at the end of August.

Yes, that is the worst. They deliberate over which losing lottery tickets to buy as if it matters. They are just pissing away what little money they have

I honestly don't know that they wanted Netanyahu to go in here, but it really doesn't matter. He was going in regardless, and all this supposed influence that he has is about as real was one of his Trump University diplomas

Lol, nice!

A second walk? A second walk? I give up! I’m done! I’m out!

at least Brieske got sent down.

As much as we revere MLK today, a lot of what he did at the time was decried as being provocative and counterproductive. When I see people rant about "political stunts", that's what my mind goes to.

again, Commissar Noem says the US government is in Cali to enact regime change through military force and people are arguing about the little kerfuffle. We have been programmed by the media to ignore the meteor about to kill us all, and instead focus on 2 monkeys fighting.
