Tanner Bibee has 35 strikeouts in 51 innings.  And, he has given up 11 home runs.  Why, that's even more than Jack Flaherty!  He is going to get pummeled. 

Well done lads

Beau Brieske makes me nervous but he survived easily

Looks like the game is about to go into delay due to tornado warnings, etc. Don't mind if they call it here...you can save pitching for the next two days.

Good call there.

Javy Baez, pinch hit home run with 5 men on base

I love when the probable pitchers are listed, and Sonny Gray RHP out of the corner of my eye looks like Sonny Gray RIP

'68 Tigers out homered the next best HR hitting ateam in the league by 40%, and were the highest total scoring team in the AL, so with scoring being low to begin with, that long ball advantage did play very well late in games. Funny thing for that era was that they where a poor BA club. But oddly enough, they walked a lot and combined with hitting the long ball they led the league in -- you guessed it - OPS! And we could have felt good about that instead of obsessing about the teams poor BA - that is if anyone in '68 had had a clue what OPS was.....

My memory of 68 is that Willie Horton would hit a 2 run homer in the 7th inning and the Tigers would win 2-1.  How often did that actually happen?  Maybe only once or twice.  I feel like McLain's 30th win was a game like that. Too lazy to look it up.

The 68 team definitely won a lot of games after the 7th inning.  The 84 team just punched the sh*t out of everyone. 

I want to roll onto my back, shoulders propped against my pillow, and light a cigarette

Walking off the Red Sox.  Does it get any sweeter?  Well, yeah...Walking them off two nights in a row.

Some people might think that walking off the Yankees would be sweeter, and I respect that.  But for me, oh it's so so sweet to do it to the Red Sox.  Oh baby.

Harris, you had a chance to impress me last winter, but you let it pass.  All you had to do was get rid of Torkelson and Baez.  Trade Torkelson for a bag of balls, he's had more than enough time.  And Baez, just cut him, just eat the money, move on.  Show us that you run an organization that isn't afraid to admit its mistakes.

Bregman:  I didn't expect you to play this well!

Harris:  We didn't expect you to play this well!

Eovaldi always sounded like a life cycle stage after larva and pupa

Bats as cold as a witch's t*t

We’re already there. You get two more wishes from the magic lamp and you wasted one. 

Where am I?

Desperately need this to get to .667

Pitching is sort of a different category, the Tigers always had a specific role for the Fat Dominican Righthanded Reliever

One win away from .667

There is a team in the National League with a slightly better record, but nobody gives a sh*t about the National League or ever did, so let's just move on.

.639 ball y'all.  Best record in the American League

Me: What kind of a team to the Rockies have?

You:  Mickey Moniak is in the every day lineup

Me:  Oh OK

Just a minute.  Carson Kelly has 8 home runs in 61 at bats?  Carson Kelly?  Not to mention 17 walks against 7 strikeouts?

This will be the day that I will always remember, the day that I realized that AI was deliberately distorting baseball stats, just to f*ck with us.

21 and 12 is the best record in the American League
