Motor City Sonics

Eric Munson (1056 AB) .214/.289/.394/.683 49 HR K rate 22.1 % OPS+ 80 Spencer Torkelson (1159 AB) .221/.300/.392/.691 43 HR K rate 27.3% OPS 92 Running out of time to turn this around?

Another K for Eric Munson Jr.

Montero's ERA is going to look uglier than it should. It's like going 1 for 12 hitting. Do that in July and it's a slump. Do it in April and you're the worst player in the league.

He could be a bit nervous, though.

I feel bad for Montero. He wasn't supposed to be here.

Sorry, but I feel like blaming the translator is a lot like Ryan Braun blaming the courier for his juiced up piss test.

I should be nicer. It's not Skenes fault that MLB has to hype him so much to distract people away from the fact that it's very likely their $700 million superstar likely illegally bet on baseball.

Four whole base runners against BEST.PITCHER.EVER

Wow, the Tigers managed to score a run against the greatest guy to ever pitch a baseball? Amazing !!!

Hey, there's an actual pirate in the front row. Sitting next to Jim Leyland.

He's a solid player. The ability to play all 3 OF positions and third base (probably first base too, if they needed). Give me a guy who has an OPS over .700 with a good glove - I'll take that. By the way - Gregory Soto - ERA of 5.87 and a WHIP of almost 2. Kody Clemens after that good first week is .617 now.

Run our buddy Angel out of the game, will ya? Well, we're ALL gonna be Angel Hernandez now. "over the plate"? Outdated concept.

working from home due to a very painful back injury. Here in Dearborn we just had a very loud, but solitary clap of thunder.

Seems like McCutchen is 50 years old to me.

None of those folks walking around realize he's their 2nd-game pitcher. Made me think of what happened to Chace Numata.

Okay. How about this. Tarik Skubal starts. Pitches 2 innings and then it rains, we get a 90 minute delay and then his day is done. That's why they call these games early now - because they don't want to waste a start from the pitchers.

Why. Baddoo is hitting 1.000 with an OPS of 4.000. That is LEGENDARY ! In all seriousness, his OBP at Toledo this year is .360. Isn't that what they need?

Pete Rose bet on his own team as a manager and has never shown an ounce of remorse. He's the very definition of "degenerate gambler". I don't feel sorry for him. He chose to piss it all away. He thought he was so big they wouldn't do it. They did. And they should have.

Leafs need to hire Shoresy.

Another thing is that stats were not as consistently kept. Mainstream newspapers didn't cover the games. The games were not generally all covered on the radio. Black newspapers were shut down long ago and their archives were not protected. Plus, teams would often "borrow" players from other teams. If there was a team that was struggling, one of the power teams would lend a star player for a few games in the hopes it would draw more fans because it was in the league's best interest to keep teams going, even competetors. Schedules were fairly inconsistent as some teams lacked the resources to travel. Even in the later years , like 1945 Cleveland played 81 games, KC played 96 games, Birmingham 82, Chicago 101, Cincinnati-Indy 97, Memphis 88. It's very hard to compare leagues. I'm glad for the acknowledgement, but we can't go back and find that info. All those moments are lost in time like......tears in rain.

Hey.......... C.B.................why don't you go get paid too. A league with no more Hernandez, Bucknor or West. Let us dream.

Why did they cut that out? It explains so much about Del. Bad decision. It's 90 seconds of screen time.

I just don't understand why he's seemingly untouchable.

I'd rather listen to Gibby struggling with his energy than Craig Monroe, But I do think Craig Monroe could be pretty good if he stopped trying to force it so much.

I didn't know Riley had such a weak arm. What does he have right now?
