In 13 games, Riley Greene has struck out 20 times.

Baez doubles in a run

Sweeney 2-bagger.

They’re pitching Dingler like he’s Ted Williams

Colt Keith singles on a line drive to left fielder Trevor Larnach. Kerry Carpenter scores.

Carpenter, Greene, and Torkekson all we do is win.

We need the good Beau Brieske to show up tonight

So the Tigers have to hold this lead for four innings. Man, this game is far from over.

Holy cow

Dingler does it AGAIN!

Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Zach McKinstry has entered the building.

Oh heck oh darn oh fiddlesticks.

Tie game.

This game is boring.

I’m glad that the betting line told me just now on TV that the White Sox are 30,000 to 1 to win the AL Central.

That was classic Baez, swinging third strike on something 2 feet out of the strike zone.

Interviewing a player in the field just drives me nuts.

So it’ll take at least two runs to win this game.

The Apple TV announcers are talking about how “cold” it is in Minneapolis when it’s 56° and “feels like 56°.“ After that series with the Yankees in Detroit, our club has got to feel cozy and comfy in this weather.

I made the mistake of getting on one of the many Tigers related Facebook groups today and it makes me even more grateful for this forum given the low level of what passes for “discussion“ often times among the unwashed masses. And the problem is not so much the articles posted but the comment section. For a lot of people the solution to this team is the guillotine for everyone. There’s actually people who hate Verlander because they think he left the Tigers to sign a bigger contract elsewhere and they don’t know that he was traded. And people make these comments with a confident triumphalism that’s bewildering and almost makes me feel unclean. This place is Plato’s Academy compared to Facebook. It’s nice to be able to rub shoulders with all of you, or at least most of you. 😉

Wow.

When I watched a couple Apple broadcasts featuring the Tigers last year, I was actually impressed with their knowledge of the team and some of the minutiae that only people who follow the team closely talk about. They at least do their homework. I felt like we got a fair shake and I don’t often feel that way about national broadcasts.

Well, I didn’t want to spoil it for you. I immediately figured out who probably had the reel, but was led astray so many times that in the end, I was really grateful that I was right all along and not disappointed for having foreseen it beforehand.
