Oh well, I expected this. At least there’s only one trip to the West Coast remaining on the schedule at the end of August with the Athletics. Those games are really annoying for those of you in the East Otherwise there’s some games in the Central Time zone so there won’t be any annoying truly late games.

My iPhone weather app for the DC area is very discouraging. It says it’s supposed to rain almost nonstop until 11 AM tomorrow and there’s a flood warning for the DC area. My son has talked to me into watching Mike Flanagan‘s “Fall of the House of Usher” on Netflix, which he’s already watched and the first two episodes have been pretty compelling so that might end up being what I’m doing tonight.

Yes. I don’t know how short the IL stints can be. Perhaps getting as much time to heal as possible is better than the whole “playing through it” thing which hasn’t worked.

First pitch change ups fooled them. Nice, it works for Tommy, although with Skubal in a completely different manner.

This means that he would miss the Washington and Cleveland road series as well as the Tampa Bay home series. Then he could be back for the home series with Seattle before the All-Star break.

[Beck] Tigers will place Kerry Carpenter on 10-day injured list, manager A.J. Hinch told MLB Network Radio. Trey Sweeney, who was optioned to Toledo with Matt Vierling’s return last weekend, is being called back up. Hinch calls the Carpenter move “a very cautious decision.

Looks like the game has a good chance of being delayed then there’s a two hour window where it’s not raining so hopefully they can get this one in.

With the Tigers playing only .500 ball for the last 10 games while their closest competitors in the Central have slumped, they now have an 11.5 game lead over Cleveland, a 12.5 game lead over Minnesota, and a 14 game lead over Kansas City. Only the White Sox, who have likewise played .500 ball, have stayed stable at 24.5 games behind.

I hope Carpenter doesn’t miss much playing time.

Who’s that? I’m not a podcast person.

Not mine, although everybody that knows me well already knows I’m a Tigers fan, but not many of them are people who watch ESPN. Most people I know when I talk about the Tigers glaze over.

I think “pretty optimistic” means not out for a month.

Win

DP phew

Just as we get one key component back, we lose another.

Heck

Thank God, the no hit nonsense is over. I’ve seen several. I feel bad for people who haven’t seen one though, but for me, I’m more interested in winning this game and not overtaxing the best pitcher on the planet.

I am more interested in a low pitch count than I am in strikeouts.

The Tigers are putting on quite the show.

Disappointing inning and not just because of the interview oh well.

On field interviews annoy me. It’s not like this is a tea party or anything

The statcast stuff is too busy and overwhelming for me. Of course I’m not smart.
