currently raining in the fancy oakland county suburbs

is jason foley due for an implosion

what is that unfamiliar mark in the tigers column

I saw Lorenzen walking around downtown Birmingham presumably with his wife and carrying presumably his baby daughter.  I hope she pooped while he was holding her and diminished his arm for tonight.

happy birthday!  tis my brother's birthday too

Maybe it can be Skubal Skuba Night, with a side of submarine delivery and sinkers

really?  it's been steady raining or at least drizzly here around 15 & Woodward 

well, this one's over

I read they're going to drop the place name altogether. Will just be referred to as "The Athletics" or "The A's" in the standings, instead of a city or state. 

The A's, presented by Prestige Worldwide

ah, hadn't known that was part of the uni change.  see through and wacky-lowered names

is it just me or is the font and/or lettering size or placement for player names on the jersey backs looking different this year?

woohoo!

biting nails over here 

a little cushion sure would be nice here 

Must be the money!  Pitchers will get dinged in contract negotiations/arbitration for ERA.  No ghost runner earned run = a non-zero impact on keeping ERAs low

welp, he sucks again

Is a young Julie Andrews there? 

sounds more like a term of endearment for a cellmate 

is MLB Network hot?

It is possible that the players are trying to build a collusion case against the owners?

this was my thought when i saw the story

Torkelson spends significant time in AAA, Mark Canha is the primary 1B

That is not my recollection of 2012-2014. Not at all.

That is my recollection of 2011 with Brad Penny, maybe that is who gehringer_2 was thinking of

Have you ever read Elden Auker’s book, Sleeper Cars and Flannel Uniforms? It’s a really good read. 

I'll second that, it is a fun book.  No analysis, just tales

I know a lot of people on here don't like Turning the Corner but I think it is the best of the bunch.  There is some personal banter, but based on stuff I've listened to the personal stuff on TTC is much less than other podcasts.  I've tried listening to podcasts from The Athletic, not Tigers-focused but just baseball podcasts, and there is much, much more personal banter and inside-joking on them than on TTC.  For me, those are positively un-listen-able.  TTC I can manage. 

since august 2023 as i recall
