This was almost as glowing of a compliment as some of things Sparky used to say about a young Tiger infield prospect back in the late 80’s

It’s most likely a moot point. Neither of these teams can handle Dallas. Edmonton has no goaltending. All of 3 of them are very questionable which makes Vancouver’s inability to capitalize look very suspect. This Dallas mix of established vets along with really skilled young stars is a tough mix to beat. Heiskanen, Robertson, Johnston, Harley, and Oettinger are a fantastic young core.

Gillis wasn’t assigned to the tournament. He was only there responding to the fatal accident. Apparently, all the Louisville PD that were assigned to work the tournament were shocked and super pissed that they arrested Scottie.

Again no. Orange County has its own population of over 3 million people. It’s the 6th largest county by population in the United States. They have had their own team separate from the Dodgers for 56 years.

You should take a look at the Angels historical attendance numbers. 37,000 average and over 3M total for nearly 20 straight years between their 2002 title and Covid.

7 years ago today RIP Legend

Javy over .200 on the season!!

Bryan Shaw is a renegade that’s had it made.

Joe Mantiply sounds like the math teacher of an all boys high school. WTF Jason?

Benetti is fantastic calling the action but I’m not going to lie, most of side jokes and general improv fall flat on their face. I’m left with a cringeworthy what the heck did he just say at least twice a broadcast.

Hard to believe the Tigers are playing .500 ball and that’s only good for 5.5 out and 4th place in the supposed worst division in all of baseball. I would’ve called you crazy if you told me this back in spring training.

Thankfully it wasn’t Sahith Theegala or Tony Finau that got stopped by Louisville PD. I cant imagine how that would’ve went down. On a side note, the biggest crime is this golf course. It’s not major championship quality.

The cop who completely overreacted is facing a career change.

Even with free tickets, it’s near impossible to go Comerica and get the full game experience without spending hundreds. $16 beers, $7 hot dogs, $7 peanuts. Don’t even bother walking into the souvenir area. $35 kids Tiger hats. It’s stupid expensive.

There are multiple Twitter feeds devoted to nothing but missed umpire calls. It’s crazy looking at how many different umps get highlighted nightly. It’s not just a few guys that are the problem. It’s almost all of them. It’s gotten so bad that only a few guys aren’t missing multiple big calls every time they get behind the plate.

I agree it shouldn’t matter but look at the video above as well this one from last month below. Lots of terrible misses on the outside. These catchers have gotten so good at framing that it’s hard to see them move the glove. It happens in a blink of an eye and the ump is easily misled.

I wonder if they need to think about making catchers framing the ball illegal.

Every week it’s the same and it’s not just an Angel and CB problem anymore.

This Torkelson kid is really going to be something. What power!!!

Looks like the powers that be at USA Hockey chose to start Alex Nedeljkovic instead today against Slovakia. Not a good choice as Ned let in 4 on 16 shots and is replaced by Trey in the 2nd.

What’s Mario Impemba up to these days? I wonder if he’ll swing by Comerica Park the next few days and pull up a chair to catch up with old friends.

The Timberwolves comparison that excites me is they are proving you don’t need solid ownership to build a contender.

Alex Lyon got cut on his hand yesterday at Worlds and is out of the tournament. Trey Augustine came in and played well and looks to be the starter the rest of the way. This is very, very rare for U20 college goalie to get this kind of experience against pros at Worlds.

Every.Single.Game. Multiple missed calls behind the plate
