I wonder if this means that the ball could be flying out of the park tonight?

In case anyone is watching other teams in the Central, the Guardians Twins game that was suspended last night and was supposed to be played today was postponed for rain.

The Tigers have only scored eight runs in the last three games and the four runs last night were almost gimme’s. They need to start swinging the lumber with authority again. If they don’t, I’ll probably just watch the last episode of Apple TVs The Studio during the game tonight. i’m tired of weak grounders and being BABIP’d to death.

“Now he’ll test his progress with the Mud Hens in a rehab assignment that can last up to 20 days (through June 8).” (Mlive)

I’ve noticed that, I’ve heard people say that they want mistakes because it means you keep drilling down and are exposed to more ads, and thus they generate more revenue.

Have a happy and joyous Skubalday!

Perhaps because Google has tracked my involvement in this discussion, it pushed this ad to me today about losing weight by walking. The present weight of the person under consideration is 287 pounds and they want to get down to 147 pounds by walking. It just goes to show you how unintelligent artificial intelligence can get if it’s not programmed to even try. I of course, circled the critical data and added the result

I’m not sure why throwing slow pitches is a good idea. Is it just that the hitters have to adjust for it and you hope they can’t? Anyway, this is what Hinch said: “Obviously, at that point, you're bringing some levity into the game, and he's going to throw it as slow as he can and see if he can slow the game down,” Hinch said. “No manager loves bringing a position player in in that spot. He did it right -- throw it as slow as you can and let him swing as hard as they can and get through the outing and get to the hotel.”

Keeping up with the Sullivans.

I suppose this will rub those of you the wrong way that look like this, but nobody in a Gary Larson comic from 40 years ago is particularly attractive. I was on a Far Side Facebook page a few years back and ended up leaving because half the comments were from people who didn’t get the humor, demanded explanations, and were outraged and offended.

I lost 25 pounds going on three years ago - have kept it off - and it was almost entirely due to eating less, which is something people don’t want to hear but it’s true. It’s made a huge difference. I don’t tire as quickly and at age 73 mobility and not tiring quickly is a big deal. I walked 1.9 miles today and that’s 186 cal burned but if I eat 1800 cal a day - which totally works for me because I’m thoughtful about what it is - instead of 2500 cal that’s 700 cal and that’s where all the weight loss really comes from. I never eat anything after 7 PM. The ease with which I have been able to lose weight numerous times is also due to the fact that I’m a man and I don’t have the body of a woman whose ancestors survived the Ice Age by holding onto fat and we’re able to bear children.

Four runs in the end. And Nido’s 45MPH pitching stymied them.

Three runs

Two runs now. Believe!

Nido’s stuff really works. They “haven’t seen his stuff before.”

I guess it’s a moral victory that the Tigers made at least one Cardinal pitcher work tonight and the Tigers weren’t shut out.

Don’t lose the game for us, Keith, get a hit drive-in runs

Three hits in a row we have our run!

If Nido can hold them scoreless in the bottom of the eighth, he will have an MLB record 0.00 lifetime ERA. And there’s probably 100 guys who have that, but still it’s a distinction.

Oh my God Nido is pitching

Well, somebody got six runs

Oh no I was hoping the suffering was over

I’m sure it will be better than Boaty McBoatface
