Dingler erases Shaw

Skubal runs out to the mound raring to go!

Tork gave the horn’s hand Satan salute when he hit that home run. Maybe it means something else in baseball.

Tork

This ump has been right on with the funny little cartoon box thing on the screen in terms of calling balls and strikes.

Scoring one run isn’t exactly a dagger in the heart, but I guess it’s more of one than scoring no runs.

Torres singles in a run

Runners on first and third with two outs don’t break our hearts

After a big break on that base running error and getting out of that inning quickly, scoring some runs now would be a good way of thrusting a dagger in the heart.

I wonder when Dingler gets a Rolex.

This thing about forgetting how to hit and score runs is really frustrating to witness.

There’s a weird roar in the background right now of the radio broadcast then it ended.

That’s great. It’s not like we’re on Apple TV often but this is cool. Thanks.

Air quality at game time in Detroit is 150 which is bad enough for me to notice it. 10 years ago, 200 would’ve been nothing to me, but that’s not the case anymore.

Too bad Apple TV isn’t making them wear the home uniforms with the old D

So Apple TV gets to cancel City Connects? Now that’s power.

My son pays for Apple TV, so I don’t care how much it costs. I’m fine with an occasional Tigers game on Apple. About the only thing I’ve watched on Apple TV is the first two seasons of the Asimov Foundation series - the third season starts in July - some nature programs and a Godzilla series that was pretty decent. I’ve been advised repeatedly that Slow Horses is fantastic. It probably is I just don’t know how much of my life I want commit to it. Same thing about Severance. It’s not like I have to be cured of a naïve and slavish love affair with corporate America.

At least we’ve never worn pajama shorts like the White Sox

Nice. SRO only.

“Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared.” — Sun Tzu Of course, this is easier said than done.

In Southeast Idaho where I live, between our own fires and the fires in Canada last year we had days of 300–400 air quality alerts and being old really bothered me. A few hours north of here in Spokane Washington they had readings of 500 which is as high as it goes.

I was wondering why the air quality in Chicago last weekend was unhealthy even though it was raining and is unhealthy in Detroit right now even though it’s drizzling when usually rain improves the air, but I forgot about the Canadian fires. In Idaho, where I live we’ve been tortured by Canadian fire smoke for the last couple years, but those fires were directly north of us, and I guess the fires in Canada right now are more located further to the east.

I sure hope we don’t have to witness Tigers hitters being confused and stymied by a Cubs pitcher with a 5.72 ERA. I also hope the squirrel returns.

And they’ll be wearing City Connects too…
