Jacob Wilson’s batting stance disturbs me.

Nah, let ‘em keep running.

Go ahead, keep running on him, morans.

Love that defensive play by Perez.

This Harris dude’s socks are fire.

I don’t think you have to worry about the trio of vets coming back. Ivey’s return would eat a bunch of those minutes.

I love a good haiku.

Mine is sweaty.

I wore #00 in CYO basketball. All of my Achilles are intact.

Baez will likely make the game on the bench. His versatility will probably factor into the decision on some other possible bench players.

Can both be right? Ordonez' home run pushed Detroit into the World Series. It erased a long history of futility. But it was the bottom of the 9th of a tie game in a 3-0 series. The series wasn't definitively over yet with him at bat, not until he pushed a run across the plate. But it seemed inevitable that Detroit was going to win that series. That Prince block in the playoffs saved the series for the Pistons, didn't it? That was a pivotal moment. I don't like pointing to one play in a basketball game and saying that was it, save for end of game stuff (ie, don't leave Horry open). I think there's merit for both from different angles. I think I'd say Prince's block was bigger in the moment.

I thought that was a good share.

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.
