Bases loaded, 1 out, 29 pitches already.

And the 2020 draft is STILL unpredictable. This mock re-draft was done just 5 months ago and since then Spencer Strider has had a disastrous start to the season coming off his UCL and Spencer Torkelson will have jumped back into the top 10. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/redrafting-the-2020-mlb-draft-spencer-strider-garrett-crochet-top-the-class/ And from a Redidit thread about it: “These are always fun. For those curious where these guys actually went overall in 2020: 11. Crochet 13. Bailey 19. Crow-Armstrong 28. Wells 30. Westburg 44. Jones 50. Carter 54. Winn 126. Strider 132. Keith” https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1hqi3w8/baseball_americas_redrafted_2020_draft/

After getting rid of Rantanen for financial reasons.

After today, 9 of the next 12 games will be at home.

I think many people in Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto agree with you.

Kapanen and Bouchard both had individual efforts that would have been highlight reel goals.

If they can sustain this winning percentage for the entire season ... https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/tigers-best-season-record

Dan D’s relaxed call of the final out. Tigers Close Out White Sox.m4a

That was weird.

Tigers lead now let’s get another.

Rockies are red hot. Won their 3rd straight this afternoon.

100 games to go! * * plus a bunch of layoff games we hope

Yankees beat Guardians.

Killer 3-run homer one hitter after the deflected infield hit.

That's one.

I’d like Javy to get a couple of hits tonight.

I don't know if there's any great national PBP men on either side of the border. Chris Cuthbert gets the #1 assignments in Canada and he will be remembered here for his call of the Crosby golden goal in 2010, but something about his voice doesn't quite sit right with me. I can definitely see why Jack Michaels is loved by Oilers fans, but I think too one-sided for the national broadcasts he has been doing. John Bartlett is OK I guess but hasn't been given top national exposure yet beyond Habs games. Harnarayan Singh may have the best balance of steady PBP with excitement when warranted. Of course none of these names probably mean anything to Americans, lol.

What a team.

With a win tonight, this year’s Tigers would match the win total of the 2024 White Sox. With a win tonight and tomorrow and Thursday, this year’s Tigers would match the win total of the 2003 Tigers.

Cherry's firing and Ron Maclean's meekishness during that week is seen by many as a symbol of the Trudeau era. That said, Cherry had long overstayed, he should have retired or been put out to pasture during an offseason a good 10-15 years earlier than he was (he was 85 when he was let go, 91 now and doing podcasts with his son but a shadow of himself given his age and failing voice/energy). His schtick was predictable and got boring, especially after hearing basically the same thing for 20 years. But no doubt he should be a slam dunk Hockey Hall of Famer in the media wing as should Barry Melrose. Surprised they aren't already in. This year's inductees? François Gagnon and Daryl Reaugh. Budd Lynch got in 1985 and Bruce Martyn in 1991. Mike Emrick in 2008. Mickey Redmond in 2011. Dave Strader 2017. https://www.tsn.ca/gagnon-reaugh-named-to-hockey-hall-of-fame-media-wing-1.2314635 https://www.hhof.com/general/fosterhewittmemorialaward.html

It’s bad on MLB radio. Mike Piazza, Jack Buck and oppo-taco.

Tigers’s second 13-run game of the season. Other one was 13-1 over the Angels in Anaheim on May 4th.

“Deep but playable”. Carpenter flies out. It would have been nice for Carpenter to have had the 20th four-homer game in history on the 15th anniversary of Galaragga’s perfect game.

Dan D’s call of Carpenter’s 3rd home run. Carp’s 3rd HR.m4a
