1776

The Cardinals hit four consecutive home runs in the first inning yesterday. The Dodgers hit three hone runs in the first inning last night. The balls are juiced and every at bat is about hitting a home run. That’s some boring shit after a while.

If the Giants can send Joey Bart down, the Tigers can send Tork down. Bart struggled with the bat. His defense was fine. Same story with Tork. I can’t see anything being accomplished by keeping him up. Let him go down and work on his issues there. This year is long since shot. Get him ready for next year. He’d be back before the year is out anyway. Maybe Al is afraid Chris would hear about Tork being sent down and all of a sudden start asking questions about his team. 🤫

Your rants always do my heart good. Thank you.

Agree. This always befuddles me.

Willie Horton with a new book releasing July 12th. Preordered and can’t wait to receive it. His new autobiography, “Willie Horton: 23: Detroit’s own Willie the Wonder, the Tigers’ first Black great,” co-authored with Kevin Allen, is scheduled for a July 12 release. That is one week before Horton heads to Los Angeles for the MLB All-Star Game after accepting Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker’s invitation to be the American League’s honorary coach.

Piece of cake!

When times are tough and it seems like nothing is working, just recall the soothing words of Chris Illitch. There is a lot of progress and on and on. Also, the rebuild is 100% complete! It’s so good I can’t stand it…

Unless Hinch is being kept in the dark about this, and maybe he is, I would have a real issue with someone on the payroll not keeping me informed of certain timelines. At least communicate to the point the organization can know how to plan.

Only erod can make the Zimmermann deal look OK to this point.

I know who Max would NOT represent. I am not sold on Verlander going in as a Tiger. I think there is a realistic chance he goes in with Houston.

“Blacks and African Americans makeup only 13% of the state's population as a whole but account for 82% of Detroit's population.” I copy and pasted the above line from a summary piece on the 2020 census. So, what reason would you cite for the low voter turnout in Detroit? Apathy? Any ideas?

The National Review has been straight up on Trump for a quite some time. They have been very straight forward in reporting on him from the beginning. Where has ZP been? Their writers have lost no love for the ex president, none. Great piece today on the testimony from yesterday.

How about that!

Dodged a huge bullet.

The only hope now is that somebody, somewhere, somehow will be fired. I don’t even care who.

Anyone that’s never seen a game at that park should put it on their ‘to do’ list.

Detroit Tigers-the insomniacs dream come true.

I liked Hanging with Mr. Cooper. Mr.C 👍

I haven’t seen a City Connect uniform yet that I like.

The AP states that she’s 25 and her home town is Williamsburg, VA. Her bio is very interesting and impressive.

The Giants have been struggling with their starting pitching with the exception of Webb and Rodon. Skubal and Rodon are a primo matchup. Even with a 2.6% of a noticeable quake, 🥹 it would be really cool to be in SF this evening.

We’ll never know but I would love to know if Tampa Bay changed/adjusted anything he was doing following the trade. The Rays are a savvy organization and perhaps they saw something that the Tigers didn’t. Who initiated contact on this deal?

I felt compelled to get the bull pen stirring. Thanks for doing the game threads this week.

Arizona’s SP is Dallas Keuchel 2-5. 7.88 ERA
