I think Tork or anyone would become the Tigers permanent DH only when we basically fill every other position with average or better major leaguers, like the Dodgers and Braves and Phillies and Yankees have. And even then I’m not sure we’re going to want to pay him Boras money to stick around and do that. Although I have wondered whether getting Tork off the field altogether would be the magic bullet to finally turn him into the elite hitter everyone has thought he’s always had the potential to become.

More runs, please.

I was the only one who gave what could be fairly characterized as a defense of Crockett, although I thought I positioned it more as a general defense of someone in her position, and I certainly didn’t mention anything about her party.

The Tigers are one of only 23 teams since 1995—the beginning of the current home run era—to score 21 runs across two games without hitting a home run, and the first to do so since 2013.

You must be talking about someone else, because I know you’re not talking about me.

I agree. I was wondering whether the actor is actually from Detroit. I don’t remember anybody around me sounding like that when I lived there.

Usually I just assume that people who promote horrible reactionaries are merely cynical partisan hacks, but every once in a while I have to wonder whether they are just aggressively ignorant or even stupid. Otherwise, how can they not see what’s so blindingly obvious?

Crockett did hide it in a more sophisticated hypothetical, but even without that it was an acceptable level of raising the stakes, and Greene did open the door to the whole thing by being indecorous in the first place. I don’t know if they’re smart enough or deep enough to strategize aforethought, like, “I’ll just mention a minor thing, they’ll go over the line in their response, and then they’ll get blamed for the whole thing”, but that did appear to be the goal here, and it did work for their side. I’m as close to 100% certain as I can be that had Greene not called out the physical appearance of Crockett, Crockett would not have called out Greene’s appearance at all. In this new age of playground insults in politics, I don’t blame Crockett at all for not just grinning and bearing it. I say, good for her.

Probably because we’re up 13-0.

There are exactly two guys out of the 14 playing that game who are on tonight’s roster.

Javy with five ribs to stake us to a 13-0 lead. These are the anti-Tigers right now.

The guy in the Detroit’s In Us spot for Bally, with the mustache in the garage—anyone know who he is?

I would like to know the story of Wenceel Perez getting to this point.

Working the count really only works if you know what to do with a hittable pitch when you get it.

There’s a kind of Josh Lewin-Gibby vibe in the booth tonight.

Skubal sure is sitting for a longtime. Hope that’s a good thing.

BERT!

You never said it was a controversial pick. The 2020 draft was a special case since a first baseman was the consensus #1 pick who would have been selected by every team who didn't have someone already blocking him.

Tiger hitters are digging the dry heat.

I’m sorry, but that was just a torking dumb play, even though it worked this time.

It’s nice to string hits together for runs, but they gotta jack some bombs, too

Good lord, did Tork just get a hit to the right side?

Very insulting to thirteen-year-olds. 😏

Agreed, they don't know what socialism is, and yes, it was a cold war cudgel and continues to be. It's become a magic swear word all over again.
