6 more innings of outs!

Altuve scares me. Rod called him the Itty-Bitty fella.

19.....please...

I'm gonna keep going until somebody tells me to shut up...20 more outs.

Driving everyone nuts....21 more outs.

I'm not gonna count down the necessary outs but 22 more. Skubal all right?

Jake knocked in the 1st run for his good friend.

24 more outs!!

Sweeny RBI single off a very good LH pitcher.

Score. All. The. Runs!!

OK Skubal...there's 2 runs.

Holmes has made many great moves running the Lions but IMO, signing Montgomery was near the top of his best moves. The guy is VERY under-rated. He has a beast mode that we haven't seen in a very long time. Power running to go along with elusivness and speed

KC is on ESPN2 at 3:00. This is MLB fault for scheduling a Tuesday mid-day game. Cancel the playoffs!! 😁😁

Not mid-game. Houston has very good LH bullpen arms. Carpenters splits must show he's not good against LH pitchers?

Is it on another station or are we stuck watching people play Live Missle Command?

But my point is just because the stats say you shouldn't do something doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Like last night, the Lions are pretty good against the run. In the 1st half, Seattle has less than 20 rushing yards. But in the 2nd half, they had success running the ball. Sometimes, teams need to play their game and not worry about what may happen, make the opponent beat you by stopping your strength.

Hinch batting Ibanez clean-up reminds me of the time Leyland batted Donny Kelly 2nd in New York and Kelly hit a 1st inning home run.

That's my problem with analytics. Some geek with a calculator tells a coach what he *should* do instead of what the normal play should be. Going from the gut always seemed like the best decision.

Hee-hee

I just rewatched last years tampa-detroit playoff game and the announcer said Davis didn't have any PI penalties last season. All year. Amazing...

So...I guess TP is what I sound like during Tiger games with my knee-jerk reactions. Maybe I need to cool it. 😆😆

I heard an announcer say the difference in the % of the long XP kick and the % of going for 2 wasn't as great as the old days. Analytics says go for 2 in that situation. I don't agree with it but whatever. It didn't work...

Yeah, the Lions ain't tough.

Yeah, well, I don't hear anyone chanting his name. 😅😅
