Seeing Mize on the mound gives me a sad....😢

Meadows should have gotten there , but didn't.

clown show strikes again. Schoop gives it the old alligator arms.

Spencer just late on the FB. A little caught in between I guess.

IDK, that may have been the fastest Willi has ever gotten to a ball in his short LF career. They wouldn't have seen tape that he could do it!

Willi has earned his keep for tonight!

what matters is if the Tigers play all 27, C-Mo

If the Erie game logs can be believed, going into tonights game he had not struck out in June (19PA) but he K'd twice tonight.

Baddoo with a hit 2 SB and 2BB. Really like seeing the later. Greene, 2/4 (what did you expect?). Riley's bat says "Rehab is for the weak. I'm ready"

Keith and Carpenter with HR tonight. That's 20 for Carpenter, 9 for Keith. It's Henning, so big grains of salt, but he reports that the Tigers don't have any confidence Carpenter's bat plays at a higher level. Maybe Mike Hessman's record will be at risk sooner than we might have thought.

Now watch him be off his game and hammered. It would be too fitting for this team's luck.

There may a lot of things that actually still work in the locker room that may not work so will once they get to social media. 🤔

Michigan is frozen until they have a new President in place. Which is probably no different from where they would have been if Schlissel were still there as I never got the impression he was much a fan of major college sports at his institution. Actually rather alarming how long the search is taking. Hope that doesn't imply a lot of people have turned them down, but heck, I'd be leary of working for a board run by a couple of ambulance chasers too.

radar forward projection is for DT Pittsburgh to clear pretty soon. I guess for now it depends on how much the Pirates want to play.

I assume when they said 'subluxation' they mean what we would call 'dislocated shoulder', though I didn't see them having to 'pop' Candy's shoulder back 'in' so if that's what it was it must have gone back by itself. Tattis has a chronic problem with that and just plays over it. A tall friend of mine who played a lot of basketball eventually had surgery on both of his to tighten them up to stop the recurrences.

well, somebody has to be!

Still would be wet field etc. Anyway, not surprised. I imagine are going to continue to handle Skubal with kid gloves.

CNN doesn't want to be considered an alternative MSNBC. Their problem is I don't see how you present the activities of the US right with any kind of straight face. Any level of honest reporting is going to get you labeled 'librul' from the right (and put in the box with MSNBC) anyway, so I don't know if it's going to be possible to square that circle exactly unless they are willing to become another 'normalizer' for the right's outrages.

So I listened to the last "War on the Rocks" podcast today and they touched on how the Russian military reforms that Putin initiated under Serduykov went south after only 4 yrs when Serduykov was caught in a corruption case (they implied it was a set-up to get rid of him) and it makes me wonder if Putin is/was just going soft in the head and he obliged when his oligarch buddies asked him to call off the dogs, or if his position was actually at that much risk from the blow-back from military reform that he had to pull the plug less than voluntarily.

yup - same reason they called the game last week before it even had the chance to not rain. "We love you Wily, BTW, do you mind starting on short notice so we can protect the guy we love more?"

but are they afraid to pay Ohtani $400M?

I think he wants out and this is just a negotiating position to bargain down the $1B walk-away fee. The problem is that the twitter board doesn't want him to walk away now so he has to fabricate an argument with himself. 🙄

LOL - Toledo probably might have more of next year's Tiger roster playing tonight than will be on the field in Pittsburgh!

Isn't that the joke? You're right, you can't 'work' on a student visa, so whether the schools or NCAA want to call NIL 'employment' or not, INS has no such scruple! But OTOH, if they are getting paid I see no reason a school shouldn't be able to apply for an H1B for an athlete instead of a student visa. I don't think there is any rule that you can't also go to class while your working under an H1B. Maybe that will be the next shoe to drop!

Have been more optimistic about Manning as the reporting has not been 'elbow'; maybe we catch a break with him. Inflammation is less worrisome than structural damage (unless your name is Perez......). The weird thing with Mize is that the imaging is so good today that if there is damage that would require surgery you would think they would have found it by now, but I suppose nothing is perfect - or else he's right at the borderline.
