This 9th inning comeback walkoff is going to be epic. 😆

Good points. And players today are bigger and stronger than former generations. Spending all off-season working out instead of having to get jobs makes them better too. This really is the case for all sports, not just baseball. Look at football offensive lineman or the 7 footers in basketball.

A .270 hitter who plays good defense and has a bit of occasional pop in his bat. Still young enough to maybe improve but also still young enough to maybe never improve. When I called him over-rated, I got quite a bit of blowback. Do fans want Hinch to keep hitting him in the 3 hole or maybe move him down in the lineup until (or if) he learns to make a bit more contact? That uppercut, long swing from the heels makes for a LOT of swings and misses. Sigh...

40,000 disappointed fans.

Yeah, it doesn't account for injuries but it does account for less talented players making the majors. About the same in most sports. I say today's better players are better than older generation players because of better physical knowledge and better nutrition. And it seems like players are getting bigger and better from one generation to the next.

Montero in. Time for the Cubs to Release the Kraken!!

A sellout but most of the seats behind home plate looks sad.

Fanduel shows a pregame at 12:30.

I really believe that the Trump administration wants protests and demonstrations so he can declare martial law and legally suspend the constitution. Total evil. Total cruelty.

It must be hard for lesser SP to follow Skubal. It's like a gourmet chef serving hot dogs a day after prime rib. 😅😅

I thought Montero was the scheduled SP today? Holton an opener followed by the long man, Montero?

There are more players in the league now compared to the '60's? I really doubt that's the reason but it's probably true.

And the Twins lose. Perfect Detroit baseball evening.

Impressive;

I think I'm at the end of the boomer generation. Born in '60. But I don't believe in astrology. 😅🤣

Growing up and growing old in Detroit, I watched many, many NFL fans root for Dallas, Pittsburgh and other annual winners, over the Lions, who mostly always stunk. I never liked those traitors. Now, us diehard Lion fans are in hog heaven. Dan Campbell for governor. 🤣

WSox open it up in the 8th. 7-2 over KC. Cleveland lost too.

An impressive ST prolly caught the coaches eye and put Jones on their radar. So, he got the call. He musta had decent Toledo stats?

You answered your own question. 😅😅

WSox take a late lead over KC.

And Cleveland lost.

Attendance.....40,132

I remember reading his story during spring training. His dad played for the Lions, I think. He had an impressive ST, if I remember correctly.

Come on man, that was a great game.
