They’re pitching to him like he’s Brandon Inge.

I think given how the game had been playing out, they weren’t in position to rely on hitting to get them back into it. The bats were less than impressive and they were going to need to take advantage of opportunities that presented themselves. This was one of them. If you haven’t had a chance to see a replay yet, the ball skipped off to the RHH side of the home plate dirt (outside of the dirt). It took a good play to get Baez out. There certainly was risk in Baez trying to score, obviously so considering he was thrown out. But considering part of that calculus was a RP running to the plate, catching the ball, and applying the tag without wiggle room, I have no problem with it. Sometimes you force the other team to make a play. They did. Tip your hat to them.

The carpool after the game better be going straight to the practice fields. No Dairy Queen today.

Detroit Pistons (23-58) vs Philadelphia 76ers (50-31)

Just to put some perspective on that, I just eyeballed NBA 30 & over season averages on basketball reference. There have been 73 season averages of 30 & over, and 36 of those were before 1982. David Robinson averaged 29.79 in ‘93-‘94, Shaquille O’Neal 29.67 in ‘99-‘00.

Is this when he tried to score off of the passed ball during Cabrera’s plate appearance? I have zero problem with it. It required a good throw, perfect catch, and perfect tag to nip him in time. The play was in front of Baez, he could see it, and he’s shown to be a smart enough base runner to make that decision.

Torkelson doesn’t know how to slide?

Is drunk Uncle Tony getting Hendriks up in the bullpen yet?

All the Tigers can do is out there and take care of their own business. Everything else will happen however it happens.

That's a really good way to put it. I don't think there is a lack of effort there, and with all of the different assignments that Shepard has had in his career, he has the resume for being a part of an MLB broadcast. But is that role play-by-play, is there a dynamic with the current situation that is holding him back?

Not as long as today is going to be for Chicago.

Has OKC tried to just completely forfeit a game yet?

I thought he would grow into it as well. I think early on it was obvious that he was very fanboy sitting next to Morris and I wonder if that limits him.

How many different $ub$cription$ will be needed to watch games? That's where this is headed.

Oh geez.... 2nd game in and a gross mistake like that?

Tiger OF Germany Schaefer. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Germany_Schaefer Upon further review, it was a double steal, not a hit and run. But the dude was a piece of work.

Ah,…… let him pitch.

That Colorado series looks likely for it to occur then.

I’m not superstitious, but don’t nobody shower or change clothes unless the Tigers lose a game.

Sure, off of the ricochet.

First place, morans!

Bite me.

Baez should’of turned around to Pollock and said “next time jump, dummy!”.

Baez endearing himself to the crowd now.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! Eat it, Jerk Sox!
