The one time I tried to visit Rickwood, it was locked up because the city owns it and it was veteran’s day.

Now both knees have ACL tear histories. I don’t know how you maintain elite performance with that.

This just sucks for baseball.

You may not be a guy who buys the concept, but they have a much-improved run differential this year than they did last year at this time.

I just don’t see how a manager who is overseeing an improved team that wasn’t even expected to go to the playoffs would get fired for guiding the team to a .500 record in their first third of a season.

And I just don't understand why everyone seemingly thinks he should be on the hot seat!

I disagree that this year is just a little better. This year is a lot better. Based just on the runs for and against listed in the tweet, last year's pythag record after 52 games is .392, which is a little more than 20 wins. This year's is .494, which is close to 26 wins. That's at least five wins better in terms of runs differential.

Tiger players win game despite evil A.J.’s efforts to lose it!

HOLY **** WHAT AN ENDING!!!

Talk about the makeup call on that 2-1 to Vierling …

Is that our first sac hit of the year?

Tork just a triple from the cycle! 💀

Canha had it all the way. 😎

Or Hinch intentionally neglected to tell them to get outs because what he really wants is for the Tigers to lose. Million-D chess.

I love barn-burners!

Players win games, managers lose them. 😁

Holy ****ing A. Are we still agitating for Jason Foley to be handed the closer’s role like we were a day or two ago?

Interesting. My wife and I are going on a driving trip, during which we’re going to see a Wednesday game in Erie and a Thursday game in Allentown; then we’re going to see a game the following Thursday in Harrisburg and a Friday game in Toledo. So I will see two and two. This will be interesting.

Man, we are just getting dinked and doinked to death here

I’ve gone back and forth between the game on DirecTV Extra Innings channel 721, and my OTT box’s MLB.tv app. The Extra Innings channel is showing hardly any commercials at the breaks, instead showing those short Baseball Zen vignettes. MLB.tv is showing the same commercials over and over and over, which I assume the Roku app itself is, too.

Tigers trying to hand it back …

Also, backup catcher is 1 for 3 with a home run as DH. A.J. Hinch—super genius! 😁

Parade of pinch-hitters.

Yeah, Perez is out, and pretty obviously. Kudos to Benetti and Dirks for calling that out right away. I have no respect for many announcers who ummm and ahhh around the obvious because they’re huge homers or afraid of raising the fans’ ire.

BTW, notice the graphics Roku are using? Basically warmed-over MLB Network graphics, but had the Tigers parted ways with Bally the way the Padres and Diamondbacks did, these are exactly the graphics we would be seeing every game as well. Which to me would be a 100% improvement, because I really dislike Bally graphics, especially the 24/7 crawl at the bottom. The only thing I would change with these graphics is, put the score box in the upper right instead of the lower right. Otherwise, I like them.
