This ump behind the plate has been decent tonight. Keith had the courage not to swing at a ball out of the strike zone and the ump correctly called it a ball.

Matty steals 2nd.

At least the perfect game is over because the batter got hit. The catcher got hit. And the ump got hit.

There have been 10 no-hitters pitched in MLB history by players with a last name that begins with the letter “P” Among them are Jim Palmer, Milt Pappas, and Gaylord Perry.

Ryan Pepiot has a perfect game going let’s jinx it.

We need some Wenceel magic

Jack charges back from 2-on no out. The Game of Living Dangerously.

Now we need a double play

We need a triple play

And Jack gives up his obligatory first inning home run

One pitch one out

To paraphrase Moneyball, Jack Flaherty does indeed “look like a baseball player.“

The Tigers have gone 18–9 for an .667 Pct. against teams in the AL Central so far and have 25 remaining games against these foes. They've gone 40-25 against everyone else in baseball for a .615 Pct. They haven’t just been “beating up on their own weak division.” I don’t know if anyone credible would say that they’ve been doing this, although my son’s coworkers in Idaho have been needling him with this BS. If they had lost only two more games to Central clubs they would have a .609 intradivision winning pct. and less than what they’d achieved overall against all the rest of baseball. This team plays well against everyone.

Wow, that’s about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

I hope Jack can return to something resembling an acceptable groove today.

By the way, when I hit the Like on this comment, I meant to give the trophy not the laugh. I’m not laughing at this. It’s a very good post.

Cleveland breaks the 11th 10 game losing streak in franchise history.

I decided to watch the last inning where Cleveland is hanging by the skin of their teeth over the Astros, 6–5 and thanks to a pitch clock violation Fry stayed alive and hit a home run to make it 7-5.

In all reality, I can’t watch Cleveland play Houston just not enough for me to care.

Bibee’s no no over

Right now, Cleveland is doing us the favor of beating the Astros 4–0 in the fifth. Ramirez hit a three run homer and the Guardians pitcher Bibee has held. the Astros hitless for four innings.

They pulled Montero after six innings even though he’d only thrown 68 pitches so my assumption is that when he gets very far into the third time through the batting order that he gets hit a lot harder I’m just guessing and I don’t know how to look this up.

Easy inning for Hanifee.
