Where is everybody today? Are they all at WNBA games throwing stuff on the court?

It’s almost sweet how Dingler tried to sell that foul ball in the first inning as a foul tip and a tag to the umpire. I love this stuff. And Riley homers.

Keith is a late scratch because he’s sick.

Lugo has 10 pitches?

I would just as well have Jack walk Bigfoot. But he weakly grounds out.

Torres with a day off.

First pitch is a low “strike” outside the strike zone so this might be an interesting day.

They’re also raising awareness about brain injuries, which is personal to me. My brother-in-law who was once a strong vital man’s man was rear ended in an accident by someone texting. He now talks like Elmer Fudd, stutters and is unsure of himself and he’s afraid of the world. Brain injuries are really serious stuff.

18th Anniversary of Magnum P. I. day.

Yes. Two games in a row does not seem to be an inordinate wish.

Treason! Panic and demands that Hinch be fired immediately are the default setting!

Well said. Other teams are blandly uncreative in their approach to acquiring players. They just buy more big guns. But strategy and tactics are as important as fire power. Yes, the Tigers have some big guns, but that’s not all they rely upon. Harris is also engaged in asymmetric guerrilla war. He’s not just responding to force with more force, but with finesse. The Tigers are a bit like the early American revolutionaries who didn’t meet the British Army head on which just marched in lines, and they instead use mobile hit-and-run tactics to wear down the enemy. Harris and Hinch are finding chinks in the armor of other teams and aiming their guns there so to speak while developing their own big guns in the sticks. We’re witnessing something special perhaps even historic with this club.

What an absolutely repellent way to end a tremendous at bat.

What a terrible terrible terrible call on that strike that was three balls out of the strike zone

65 BBs for Gleyber

Jake Rogers singles on a line drive to center fielder Kyle Isbel. Zach McKinstry scores. Jake Rogers to 2nd. Jake Rogers advances to 2nd, on a throwing error by shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.

I honestly had that one queued up. I could just feel it.
