Not feeling good vibes from the O today....

You are just not trying hard enough!

If the 2021 version of Nomar Mazara was on this years Tigers, he would be leading the team in RBI's right now.  🤢

Kerry Carpenter with, you guessed it, another homer this morning! lol

OFer?!  Bring him up!!

2/3's of todays Tigers lineup is batting .200 or below.

They also need his defense.  He leads the league in Outs Above Average: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/outs_above_average

Hmmm, you have to drop down to #77 to find the next Tiger on the list.

I probably wouldn't put Lolich in because there are a number of pitchers a little ahead of him that haven't gotten in but I think he's done enough for strong consideration.  

The only thing I might add was when he retired, Lolich was the major league all time leader in strikeouts for a LHP.

It used to be interesting and rare enough that you might never see one in a thousand games you attend. Now it’s just way too common and I support batters who make fun and take the piss out of that very unserious moment. 

You have to admit, the Rizzo/Freeman AB was way fun to watch last year.

DANG!!  The Tigers play Minnesota and Cleveland 15 times in a 14 day stretch at the end of the month.

Have the Panthers been using Lions film? How horrible. Get Patterson out of there.

OK, it wasn't Hebert to Carter . . . . but . . . . . Patterson wasn't as big of problem as his offensive line.

27 missed calls.  Wow

Totally expected to see Angel Hernandez name when I clicked on the link.

Must see TV (wish it was on and I didn't go to bed at 9pm) - Braves at the Dodgers 10:10pm EDT, Freeman faces his old team for the first time.  Only way it gets better is if it were in Atlanta.  Dodgers do visit Atlanta June 24-26.

Is Grapes channeling your posts? 

Nice reference!  So sad that many of the newer morons did not experience Grapes.

What is OBT?

Official Baseball Talk.   😎

Ten more days until Opening Day.  😎

Remember this game like it was yesterday.  Miggy and Fielder each go yard twice.  Thought we had a chance at 162-0.  LOL

What are some survivor minor league parks worth checking out? 

HIGHLY recommend Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana.  Triplets use to play there, A League of Their Own was filmed there and it is the third oldest park (1915) behind Fenway and Wrigley.

Bringing out the big guns for Bally Sports lol

Hopefully it won't be long until we say Mizeday in the same reverence we use to say Verday!

Love that Miggy is getting a few innings in at 1B.

Well here you go, the home team Northrop (My wifes Alma Mater) vs. North Side (My Alma Mater) big brawl just last night. AAU families carrying this style of ball all the way through highschool.

WOW!  I did not see this.  My two oldest graduated from Northrop and I have many friends from both schools.

When the league didn’t suspend a coach for the cheeseburger comment (and subsequent ejection), despite a league rule I had created that required it, because the coach was buddies with the president, I told them it would be my last year.

I 100% support this!!

When grown men are calling my 16-year-old umpires "pencil neck", telling them they're too skinny and need to eat a cheeseburger, getting chest-to-chest on a field with another coach in front of them, flipping them off on the field, and telling them they'll meet them in the parking lot (all very real scenarios that happened either in that league or another), how do we seriously expect these kids to say "yeah I want to keep doing this! I want to get better!"

Any umpire that would allow this type of behavior to continue in a game was not properly trained, if at all.  Sounds like this 16 year old umpire had zero support from his assigner or league.  

Simple cure for bad parents.  Tell the coach if they do not shut their parents up immediately, the game will be forfeited, works every time.  Of course, I have only used this approach at the little league level and will usually let it go on for a short while to see if they get tired of yelling at me as I ignore them.  Umpires also need to have thick skin and not be so easily offended either.

Tenacious D - love all your autograph displays - good stuff!!
