Is Baez starting in CF for the 2025 All Star Game proof that we have tangented off from reality to an alternate universe?

Damn shame it wasn’t 7. And then 8. And then 9……

I could be available to pitch against 5 batters.

Anyone that predicted this team would be on top of the league in late June after missing significant time from Meadows and Vierling can just stop lying.

The Tigers have lost 3 in a row now. Last season, the Dodgers lost 5 in a row and the Yankees lost 4 in a row. Ain’t time to panic.

Yup. Didn’t blow up the bullpen today. Still an opportunity to salvage a win out of this series tomorrow. Day off Monday. So, there will be pitching options tomorrow if needed.

I just have a feeling this is a bad series. Get past it, get back to Detroit, take the next two home series against Oakland and Minnesota.

Or a hamstring away?

I think I saw you on TV. Are you the person in the short sleeve shirt?

Carpenter is due? Is a better day time hitter? Has a longer name?

Short porch in RF?

That was pretty slick. I enjoy those. There was one a few years ago, I think it was a pregame preparation for a college baseball team. The drone went all around the venue, the stadium, locker room, workout room, might have even went through a part of campus. It included players and personnel doing various activities. It was really cool.

This series seems ripe for it. The long day on Thursday ending with some sour notes. Traveling into Tampa later then expected. Then the delay to begin this game and the poor result from it. Game two of the series will be an early game after this night game. And then Sunday will be a getaway game into a day off, which might end up being a let's just get through this game and get home kind of deal.

Thursday's seemed better than Friday's, I liked them bringing Bobby Scales into the fold. But good work on the fly by all. Petry fiddling around with his glove and baseball on Friday had some charm to it.

Thanks. The what-not can be time consuming.

I got lippy at a minor league hockey game once. I was a few “pops” in. The arena was old and didn’t have plexiglass around the entirety of the penalty boxes. I was same row as the box and a few seats over. He heard me above the crowd and wasn’t pleased with my commentary, and rightfully so. Not my best moment at all. His response sobered me up, and that was that.

Wow, I assumed Munson was in.

So much for the expected gentleman’s sweep.

Grosske.

What’s going on with the proposed Vegas stadium? Anything?

I wonder how much of a Tigertown contingent will be there. Lakeland isn’t too far away.

I was a fan of the Houston CF hill. The flagpole was indeed in play at the time, too. And the Crawford boxes. It seemed like they tried too much, went with too many idiosyncrasies. The hill was unique to Houston in terms or present day ball yards.

Orlando Rays?

It’s Ohtani. He could throw 8 shutout innings tonight and I wouldn’t be surprised.

Old Hoss paid homage to Fernando Rodney’s dad when he pitched.
