BADDDDDOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Tork gets a strikeout on his stats and it wasn't even all that close to being a strike.

Cease at 60 pitches with 0 outs in the 3rd. They've really embraced this Owning The Strike Zone thing.

How much longer will Keith stay at Erie?

Their barrier seems to be 2 games under .500. Let's break through that today !

I think it's fair to give a guy 10 starts before dropping him down to the minors or to the pen. Wentz had his 10th tonight and his ERA is now 7.80. No longer a small sample size. It's a case where you are sacrificing a game every time it's his turn. I think they need to at least try someone else. No, Tyler is not stretched out enough to probably go more than 3 innings (maybe 4 if they are easy) and he hasn't been great either, but they need to try something. Joey worked something out at Toledo last year, maybe he can do it again this year, or maybe last year was the unicorn season. Maybe try a bullpen day (with Wentz in the mix later in the game).

Well............I guess not before Wentz's next turn then. Nobody's killing it at Tony Packo Town, Erie's too much of a jump. Tyler A to the rotation, Wentz to the pen, anyone?

How far away are Manning and Skubal? I know Turnbull's out. Wentz ain't just clicking.

A brother and sister (in their 50's) in Sterling Heights this morning got into a dispute in the parking lot of their family's business. BOTH pulled out guns and started shooting. The sister is dead. What the hell. World has just gone crazy.

It will be. McKinsty's OBP is .388 and that's a perfect leadoff hitter. Riley's up to .363 and Baddoo is at .355. And Jake Rogers is only hitting .161 but when you watch the games it seems like he's on base a lot more than his numbers indicates. He doesn't get on much, but he makes it count. If we had last year's pitching...............

The way they are learning to take pitches and work counts - it's exactly what they wanted. This team is pretty darn scrappy and it's nice to see Greene & Tork really develop. I mean Tork is the very definition of the line from Bull Durham about one more hit a week, one ground ball with eyes makes you star. He's no longer looking lost on fastballs. He hits the ball so hard and right at guys - or ground balls so hard that he can't out run 'em (he runs pretty well). In a different era without so much data putting guys in the perfect spot, he's probably hitting at least 30 points higher. That's why Pat Caputo bitching about his BA just annoys me so much. Pat, have you been WATCHING the games, because he's pretty locked in. He'll always strike out a lot, but so did Reggie Jackson and Mike Schmidt (no, not saying Tork is that good, but strikeouts are part of the game). This is fun. Just give me a good reason to watch into at least late August and I will be happy. Baddoo has turned into a major leaguer too. I think that maybe you can start keeping a spot for him every day for a few years. This division can probably be won with as little as 83 wins. Why not us?

Much as I make fun of Asia, that is a great song.........and the video............a couple of them are Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap. LOL

I am sorry. I couldn't resist. You have a framed Asia poster?

Whether you like the song or not, it will be FIRMLY planted in your brain for much of the day now. Sorry.

It's not the Russians, it's Putin. An incredible amount of Russians don't want any part of this and never did. It would be like Trump invading Canada and bombing Canadians. I don't think that would fly here. I hope Putin really does have cancer and I hope it kills him painfully and slowly.

Who the **** are those 24%. I would say Trump supporters but it's 23% of Democrats too. How do they not see it? How do they not see that Putin is trying to put the Soviet Union back together and he tried the biggest domino first? Americans like to talk like tough guys all the time. We've got nothing on those Ukranians. Talk about tough.

Schoop's first 2 RBI of the season?

These are the same types that tell you Drag Queens are a threat https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/23/us/illinois-catholic-church-abusive-clergymen-attorney-general-report/index.html

They're the Raiders, Randy. The Raiders, Cowboys, Packers and Steelers are always going to get more attention than they deserve (Steelers not as much anymore).

So Tom Brady owns a piece of the Raiders now. Which week will he suit up at QB? Week 6? Week 7? Haven't seen an owner play for his team since Leo Farnsworth wtih the Rams. When was that 1978?

Ever notice that when there is a controversial or negative Michigan football story (and there have been more in recent years) that Doug Karsch just happens to be on "vacation" the next day after the story? Happened again on Monday.

too much love for the Lions..............you know something bad is coming..........you KNOW it.

The sport of horse racing is a pet peeve of mine now. Shut it down. It's barbaric. So many beautiful animals dying. Much more than before. What has changed? What are they giving these animals? What are they doing to them? There is a reason Bob Bafford was supsended. Now he gets to celebrate a victory?

Trayce Thompson is hitting .023 since April 14th. 25 Ks in 44 AB. He's 1 for 44 in that period. That's Ray Oyler territory.

Is Fernando Tatis Jr a clubhouse cancer? That team was so much better without him. How much do they still owe him?
