Pete Alonso homers (32) on a fly ball to center field.

I just re-watched the the 2023 war film Sisu for the umpteenth time because I needed to arm myself with a dose strident optimism before watching this game.

If the Tigers win this game, I’ll eat my hat. Although I don’t wear hats.

I’m not sure how to fix this team because they have more problems in run prevention than they do in scoring runs. Perhaps Theodoric of York the medieval barber has the solution:

Not terribly confident about this game.

After today’s loss to the Mets, pitching seems like a pretty big deal. After all the Tigers did score 8 runs and normally that would be enough. One of the previous knocks on this team was the dearth of bats and position players in the minors. But that issue now seems to have been addressed. So aside from Jackson Jobe, do the Tigers have some arms in the minors that we can rely upon when the position players come up here?

No, although that’s a good one. My favorite one is After Hours the one with Ann Francis, and the mannequins. In the end she remembers who and what she really is.

I stopped watching the game for a while because I wanted to watch my favorite Twilight Zone episode because it was more hopeful.

“Charlie Morton extracts himself from major trouble in the first inning.” - Jason

Game begins ominously with two walks and a stolen base then a well received 5–3 DP

Manaea had some decent seasons early on in his career until injuries, I suppose, intervened.

I bow to you…

Math is too hard. From now on the answer is six.

The Tigers are the first team in the AL to have 80 wins and the only team with more is the Brewers.

I hope Daniella is back in Detroit tomorrow. I miss her.

Won a series on the road.

Never in doubt.
