Dan says they stole that base off of Mize. Let's just ignore the fact that Jake has thrown the ball into centerfield on both stolen bases.

Being a loyal fan and sticking with them through the lean years make successful years more meaningful. It's like the reason for all heartbreak, knowing that eventually the loyalty will be rewarded.

Todd Jones got pretty emotional talking about his Tiger career and the history of our team. Showing the Ordenez walkoff that got us to a World Series and Ernie's farewell speech got to him. (Me too...sniff) It made me think how lucky I've been to see Al Kaline's 3000 hit and Cabrera's 3000th. Very special memories.

Holy cow!! It went to sunny and hot to a totally black sky and the trees bent over sideways. And now rain is coming down...sideways. spooky...

Weather delay?

Hinch waving the white flag? He doesn't wanna use any of his good arms, who are all rested. ??

Raleigh a steroid freak?

I thought i read that they switched Skubal and Mize?

Just so he can be in line to start the All Star game? Or is that just a coincidence?

Is Skubal on short rest?

Usually I agree. But this year, the weather has been even more unpredictable than ever. They could have started early to make sure to get the game in. But with the Apple money, they call the shots. They'll let us know what time they want us to play

If it were a normal 6:40 Skubal start, there would be plenty of time to not even worry about it. But the money hungry corporate types put fans last, we don't matter to them. The rain will start around 9 PM or so;

Without Avila trading away all of our expensive quality players with little return, we never would have had several years of high draft choices. And Harris would never have been hired. So I guess we should thank him?

It's.....raining. Thunder, lightning and lots of rain.

This will trigger countless Tiger fans. It's almost like....trolling them?

Ahhh...Kaline missed all of June with an injury. That probably cost him a spot in the All Star game that year. He certainly didn't miss very many All Star appearances....

Didnt watch but it has to be Kaline?

Dark Matter was also pretty good. Cool storyline...

Not me. A radio game. I canceled Apple TV. Too many streaming services and they don't have enough content.

No shame in winning a series against a team in a wild card spot. Our bullpen let up down today. One step forward, two steps back.

Tigers bullpen today;

Huh...walking a leadoff hitter leads to a big rally. I've seen this movie before.

Boston is still in the WC hunt so I don't see them moving Chapman. And Skenes won't be traded.

Trade an unknown A ball pitcher to bring back a pitcher who would go 9-0 down the stretch? 😅 But seriously, all the other teams know we want/need some pitching help. They'll be looking to pry our top prospects from us. Hopefully, Harris stays the course and doesn't give in. I strongly dislike giving up prospects for rentals who are usually really expensive. But if he can bring in some good BP help for middling prospects, do it!

Quite a storm passed thru here. It looks like another one coming but it should pass by 4:15 or 4:30. After that, clear sailing. Gotta hand it to the Tigers, they were on top of the situation...
