Fantastic game for Mize and so nice to see a game without betting odds all over the screen.

Mcgonigle, Clark, and Briceno have been promoted to Erie.

McGonigle and Clark headed to Erie

Some team (Tigers) achieve Bertness, other teams (CLE) have Bertness thrust upon them.

We have achieved Bertness.

This game feels as unlikely as if the Vulcans landed, solved all our problems, and gave us warp drive.

Not remotely

victory has a thousand fathers and failure is an orphan. this could all change when we know more, but it looks like the local response that we often see in these cases "Blame the feds!" may not be true. I think the issue with the government is this: government works. full stop. it is worth it to have bridges not collapsing, food not poisoned, and natural disasters' death toll limited. the DOGE issue is this: none of these morons have the required knowledge to know what is and what is not a good and efficient system. for example, I do not test raw chicken and meat at my home - I leave that the USDA inspectors. DOGE has no knowledge in this area at all.

He’s a prospect. Most wash out and most won’t even reach their ceilings. However, when they do, it’s exciting, but I doubt anyone can reliably predict who it’s going to be. That’s why you collect as many as you can.

I’m re-watching this part of the game where the Tigers had Zach on third base two outs and the crowd was standing in Cleveland because Parker Meadows was one strike away from ending the game… And then the Vulcans appeared over Progressive Field.

They would be better off hiring the Pitchbot as their editor

I am not against the newish extra’s rules if this is how it works.

Love hearing the "Let's Go Tigers!" chants in Cleveland.

corny to say, but this team battles and battles, maybe they win this game, maybe they lose but really love this team

Exactly. Most people would agree that waste and corruption should be cut wherever possible. However, the people making decisions do not know how to identify what is needed and not needed and they don't seem to care. They are just indiscriminately whacking areas - like health care, science and education - that MAGA doesn't like.

Ha-Ha-Ha

I really connect to that quote and it’s interesting how a disconnect from the world can suffuse one’s experience with authenticity. But there can be different responses to it. Thomas Merton, for instance, went into deep contemplative solitude and when he came out of it 20 years later and was standing on a street corner in Louisville he experienced a deep radiance regarding both the perfections and imperfections of the world as indissolubly nourishing. The villainy and the kindness needed each other. He realized that he never really needed to escape from the world, but he had to escape from the world to know this. Anyway, thanks for sharing this quote.

Look at Hurter, acting like a major league pitcher and s***.

I have to remember to tune into Cleveland sports radio tomorrow.

A Sweepney!

They should let him pitch the 10th

You sound like a fantasy baseball owner!

I want an upward mobility clause.

Troy Melton has a decent chance of being the 5th starter in the 2nd half and/or converted to a bullpen role for the Tigers by September.

There was one string of 10 games where the Tigers had a losiing record this season. That's it, that's the low point of the season. 4-6.

Hahaha 2 hits and a win!

Jamhai Jones looks like a sitcom father

Inability to score runs is not conducive to optimism.

Standing ovation for Casey. Great outing!

Nice start for Casey.

Intentionally walking Ramirez is a great idea and Santana flies out.

AJ isn’t that into that kind of bravado stuff I guess. And I don’t think it was intentional anyway.

Or spell

Maybe he’ll tell the story about that one time on Willie Nelson’s tour bus.

Most pitchers aren’t gonna agree to that

The fact that AJ can plug Javy in at 2nd is awesome. I used tolove watching Tony Phillips (RIP) play. Versatility is an unmeasured factor

LOL Republicans never tried to help urban communities.

It gets posted here quite a bit. But nothing describes Tesla better than the Keynes quote.

Well, when Trump first ran for president there were several people on this site and elsewhere saying that he was a great businessman. That's what America needs. Well, businessmen have been running this country for a long time now. Just not always as president of the country. But true to his words, Trump is running this country the way he ran his businesses. Runs up a bunch on debt, then loots the **** out of the company before it goes under. With this new looting bill, he is well on his way to doing the same to the country.

Not trying to be Orioles GM Elias and all but I hope we keep our farm intact this deadline unless the return has multiple years of control. Relief pitchers on expiring contracts should not require over pay. So glad it’s Scottie and not Al at the wheel.

I think it's OK to deport undocumented immigrants as well as long it's done humanely. Nobody should be treated like an animal just because they lost the birth lottery. I also think it's counterproductive to deport immigrants if they are productive, civilized human beings contributing to society. I am not talking about anyone in particular here, just generalizing.
