What this game does not need is Kenley Jansen giving up a 3-run home run in the ninth. I hope we don’t have to endure that.

Gage “not a prospect“ Workman hits a two run homer? Is this allowed?

At least we just gave back two runs to make the game interesting for the moms in attendance in KC because we’re like that.

Two more runs. Halfway to the magic goal.

Looks like we may be falling backwards into an irrupting volcano and surviving. Good.

Of course. Why would their hot shot rookie home run hitter play half his games in a ballpark considered unfriendly to home runs - rightly or rightly wrongly - when he could play half of them in a ballpark more amenable to home run hitters.

Jones struck out on three pitches none of which were in the strike zone.

They make Jason and Dirks wear suits on Peacock.

By the law of averages, it seems like this team should stumble into, fall backwards into, and fall from great heights into, a pit of Hell and hit a trampoline the Devil‘s children left there by mistake while they were playing, and soar so high that they win a game no matter what.

Mother…….. <sigh>…..

After Wout won, the interviewer said it was impressive how he’s never given up. And he said “actually that’s wrong because I’ve given up many times, but I get up the next morning and I start looking to the future and I start training again and start healing from my injuries and I get going again.” I’m paraphrasing of course, but that’s the gist of it what he said, but honestly, I think that’s what the Tigers are going to do because they’re professionals even though they’re going through a rough stretch. GO TIGERS!

Without trying to, I completely forgot about this game because I got caught up in following the entire five hours replay of the Paris-Roubaix race on Peacock, where my boy Wout van Aert defeated Pogacar. When it first aired, I slept in late and caught only the last three minutes, so watching the entire race was incredible. It’s a drag to lose this game, but I’m not surprised we did. It’s a shame how these guys can’t figure out how to score runs. This is turning out to be a disappointing season so far. Heck.
