  1. It just seems like the odds are in favor of us scoring enough runs to win and the best pitcher in baseball will hold back Toronto. That seems like a logical, long overdue possibility.
  2. Enough of the scoreboard watching! I’m upset! I’m crying in my strawberry milk like a little girl! 😉
  3. In the olden days, the Tigers could pump him up with greenies and send him out there, but no longer, I’m assuming.
  4. Ok. Luke Jackson, a pitcher formerly with the Texas Rangers, was released by the team on Friday, July 25. He was designated for assignment on Wednesday, July 23, and subsequently released after clearing waivers. He has since signed with the Detroit Tigers.
  5. Luke Jackson I can’t even see in the news - yet - that he was released or anything by the Rangers.
  6. The weather app on my Apple phone says it’s raining in Detroit right now, but it should stop in the next half hour or so and not rain the rest of the day, until tomorrow of course.
  7. This bad stuff is starting to wear on me. We’re facing a guy with a 4.01 ERA and I’m assuming the Tigers will hit him like he’s Skubal instead.
  8. I figured it out. I know what’s wrong. We are cursed. AI Overview Yes, Detroit is built on land that includes Indigenous burial mounds, specifically the Springwells Mound Group and the Fort Wayne Mound. These mounds date back centuries, predating the French settlement of Detroit in 1701. The mounds were used by various Native American groups for burials and ceremonies. While some mounds were destroyed during development, others have been recognized as sacred sites and are being reclaimed by Native American tribes.
  9. Torkelson coming through when the pressure is off.
  10. I could be mistaken, but that’s the kind of play that Riley has made in the past. I don’t know if he lost the ball somehow or what.
  11. Max Scherzer’s the starting pitcher for Toronto on Sunday.
  12. There’s a lot of data out there and unless you’re the Colorado Rockies everybody combs over it and they’re starting to figure out how to deal with the tigers so there’s always that and they have to make adjustments. But I get the feeling also that this is just one of those bad spells all the best teams have gone through this year and this is our turn. I don’t think we’ll get back to being a .667 club but they will right the ship. There’s no way they played 130+ games so well and that it was all just luck.
  13. Jake Rogers has a better ERA in blowouts at least than a lot of our regular relief staff does.
  14. I hope this punishment is one of those “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” sort of things.
  15. I think I’ll watch a Jason Statham revenge film to take the edge off of this game and just check in periodically. Good luck to us all.
  16. And another one reaches the seats
  17. At the rate we’re going it might be days before we score another three runs to even dream of tying.
