3.000 OPS!

So, I hate baseball throwing in with gamblers as much as the next guy. That said, I actually don’t mind the bet365 logo at the top right. It is actually less obtrusive than the MLB logo you typically see on MLB-based broadcasts, which makes it easy to lose in the crowd in the CF shots. We will see if/when/how the gambling odds get weaved into the broadcast via graphics or drop-ins, but so far, through three half innings, nothing yet. Tell you what I definitely don’t miss: the constant crawl at the bottom of the screen. So thrilled to see that get ****-canned.

Skubal in a jam and then back out. That might be the Padres’ last chance against him.

Probably more outlier than progress.

Nick was probably a spoiled pampered elite athlete his whole life, bot inside and outside his own house, so maybe he never had to learn to become mature and play nice with other people.

Hey, Bert, party’s over in the game thread. 😉

Oh, Javy—never change.

Man, looks like Pivetta shot his wad on Carpenter, doesn’t it? Now here comes the boy, and on pitch one, it’s a career-lid-lifting two-run double! Welcome to the bigs!

Well, this could go one of a few different ways.

Related to these, "beclown" has become my verb of the year, as in, The Republican Party constantly beclowns itself in its pathetic quest to mollify one man.

I think Hegseth is far worse than an infant. Infants can't hurt you. Hegseth strikes me as being more like a grade schooler off his ADHD meds.

That's OK by me.

Nick being Nick. https://larrybrownsports.com/baseball/report-nick-castellanos-banished-phillies/740823

Ahh, **** me blue.

OK.

McGonigle will not long-term at shortstop, not as long as we have Rainer and Yost in the system. I'm not as high on Peck as some are, but I could see him serving as a bridge to Rainer/Yost maybe next year. But I would bet that barring injury, by the end of the year, McGonigle will have logged substantially more innings at shortstop than any other Tiger.

I do believe that throughout the HD era, networks and providers have routinely cheaped out on signal transmission to save bandwidth and money. The poor resolution of some so-called HD signals is appalling, so when we see an excellent crystal-clear signal such as in last night’s Netflix game—the signal quality they promised us with HD back around 2000 in the first place—it really stands out.

Watching the annual predictions show on the MLB Network. Verducci has the Mariners over the Phillies in the Series. Al Leiter has Mariners over Dodgers. Brian Kenny has Dodgers over Mariners, although he said could be Yankees, could be Blue Jays, sure. No one as much breathed the word "Tigers" during the segment.

So, so many people demanded an impact RH bat, by trade or or free agent. We will see how that works out.

Well, show sufficient reverence for Harris and I’ll stop. 😉

A.J. will definitely do that, running Javy at SS or CF and Jahmai at DH out there, and perhaps even Zach (who crushes LHPs!) in RF, but since two-thirds of the starters we face will be RHPs, Shelton's current lineup looks to me like it's going to be the default until the IL heats up.

Yeah, I know, this thread is a day early as it relates to our own lid-lifter, but there is an MLB game that counts in the standings later on tonight, so, let's go ahead and declare the 2026 Detroit Tigers regular season to be open. Let's start off with something I know will thrill so many of the posters in this forum: a confirmation that the Tigers are the team that retained the most players from last season, in term of playing time, of any team in the majors, because razzafrazza Scott Harris something something.

I don’t think Baez will be playing short much after he begins the season batting .118 with no walks.

Is it the same secret present he got from his girlfriend from Canada which he totally has?

I don’t know how much this president and media thought leaders can call for the death and destruction of Democrats before people start picking them off one by one, but can it be that much longer?
