For sure. Would be a shame for the Tigers to waste it. Need runs.

How did a French-language commercial for paint slip into my MLB.tv between innings?

No perfect game

ESPN's in-season ranking of top 50 MLB players. Top 6 of Judge, Ohtani, Skubal, Raleigh, Witt Jr and Skenes. No Tiger other than Skubal made it. I thought I'd see Greene somewhere in the 40s. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45947026/mlb-rank-2025-season-update-top-50-baseball-players-judge-ohtani-skubal-raleigh

Can't put lipstick on a pig.

Game should be over on a Greene strike out, but he gets a gift call and then draws a walk. New pitcher coming in for Chicago. 9-6, 2 outs, 1 on.

I was already counting the 4th run.

Lucky bounce! Tigers have runners at the corners, down 3.

White Sox have batted around. Full count,bases loaded. One more hit and this game is over.

ANOTHER bloop. 4-1 White Sox. Disastrous inning.

This could get out of hand. 4 straight Sox hitters have reached base. Bases loaded, none out, game tied.

Could the Tigers have challenged the non-call on Inge in Game 163 if review existed in 2009?

White Sox have their first little threat but Flaherty gets out of it. 1-0 Tigers after 4. Flaherty at only 52 pitches.

They took away the one on Tork. Made him go back into the box, ended up drawing a walk after all.

Tigers have 0 hits but have walked once and been hit by a pitch twice. The White Sox have 1 hit but that’s their only baserunner.

Guardians win after Jose Ramirez homers to break an 8th inning tie.

Wow, the park looks bright and almost pretty, nicest I've seen anything associated with the Sox look. Rain gave it a nice cleanse, I can't even smell the urine through the screen any more.

I'm going to France in just over 2 weeks. Last year when I was in Europe in early September the Tigers went 10-4 during the 2 weeks I was away. I'd take that again.

Given this delay, here are some out of town games of interest: Marlins at Guardians (go Marlins) Cubs at Jays (go Cubs) Red Sox at Astros (go Astros) Mariners at Orioles (go Orioles, as the Ms could overtake Houston and starting challenging Toronto-Detroit for bye)

Sox announcer was bitter that Tork didn't start his home run trot until he knew the ball was fair.

The Skubal “trade” is using some of the money you would have needed to sign him to instead sign two good players in the 2026-2027 offseason. In the meantime you hope the Tigers can achieve post season success in 2025 or 2026 with Skubal as their ace.

The Tigers' record is 9-5 since the 1-12 horror stretch. I consider 9-5 to be acceptable and respectable. I'm not going to use more positive adjectives than that because 10 of the 14 games were at home and 10 of the 14 games were against teams under .500. I'm not going use more negative adjectives than that because 9W 5L is a .642 winning percentage. In those past 14 games, the Tigers have averaged 5.6 runs scored and 4.1 runs allowed, for a +22 run differential. In the 13-game horror stretch, the Tigers averaged 2.3 runs scored and 6.3 runs allowed, for a -52 run differential.

Finnegan with the Tigers:

69 for the Tigers!
