only a dozen strikeouts.

Good to know the State of Colorado is going the extra mile to insure there is no unlicensed "Private erotic dancing" going on.

about 4 blocks away a builder bought a very small rundown house and is trying to sell a new >2000 sq ft house built to custom spec on the 0.2 acre lot for $400/sq ft. Needless to say, it hasn't moved yet.

1 & 2 hitters on base 6 times. 1 run. You can't make it up.

Carpenter with his 21st HR. Has his K rate in June down to 9 in 50PA. OPS still > 1000 W. Perez 2/4 2B. OPS 891

Somebody told Grassley Pence wouldn't be there, but Grassley isn't going to say who or why, assuming he still has enough wit about him to remember, which seems to be questionable.

well certainly Al Avila has been. E Rod, Barnhart, Pineda, Baez, Meadows and the Schoop extension and he is 0/6 on getting a return from any of them.

Dan and Jim have actually spent more time discussing the White Sox than the Tigers. What else can you do?

In the past - esp in the OF, Harold has had a habit of getting a little sloppy. Haven't seen it much this season, but there it was.

why is your 2nd best hitter bunting?

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man in king.

at Worcester, Greene with a tough night 0/4 2K, Baddoo with a hit, Kreidler with a triple, Hill 2/4. All for naught, Hens being shut out.

well one mystery resolved, I see Petzold has reported McClendon's absence is just COVID.

well, whether it ends up helping or not, I think you need a new voice talking to these hitters, whether its actual technical help or just a guy that can change the mental outlook/approach, management has to do something just to show they are paying some kind of attention. The last couple of games are the harbinger, the BP has been playing over its head and as it comes down to earth things are going to get really ugly.

Schoop emerged from his funk for a bit in May with a less putrid 681 OPS, but is back under 425 for his June ABs.

"Koch family member" Does that make it a twofer?

Dan and Jim carrying on about Tiger's inability to hit hittable pitches. I will argue they are getting behind too much. It's both missing strikes and taking strikes.

so I just checked the gameday audio on the web vs my phone and they are pretty close. My computer is about 5 sec ahead of my phone. But the 10 sec increment tool on the phone is not on the web interface anymore. The audio on the computer is 1:11 behind the gameday cartoon display and the cartoon display is actually a few seconds ahead of the over the air radio broadcast. So assuming the radio is on 7 sec delay, the gameday cartoon must be near real time now. Bottom line I guess I have to go back to real over the air radio to get a near sync to my TV, but the still leaves my video stream about 10-15 sec behind the radio, and as was just asked the other day, no simple way to delay an ordinary over the air radio.

good point. Hard to believe Kody's arm isn't better than Harold's noodle. OTOH, Kody has more reach and with Baez that's important!

TBF, for Buxton it's more like 4 seasons really....🤔

I guess it comes to a choice of putting putting Willi's better arm in RF over Victor's or leaving him in CF where he may be less likely to get fooled by a ball that tails. Pick your poison.

so just thinking about other possible professionalization fallout. How long before some school tries to get paid football players exempted from Title IX compliance calculations so they can cut a bunch of non-revenue women's varsity sports?

at 32? Riiiight.

what's the story on where he was last year? Injury or nobody picked him up?

Willi has only played one game in RF at Copa so far, only 2 total in RF this season. Though given that the whole move to the OF is one big experiment not sure how much difference that should make.....
