    Once again, I missed this game hanging out with my friend who is leaving town and whom I may rarely see again. Friendship takes precedence. I checked the score periodically and was not optimistic until I saw eight runs scored in the ninth. I am freaking can’t believe it, you mean “again?“

    [Emily Waldon of Tigers Minor League Report] Source: Tigers Matt Vierling has met Toledo on the road in Worcester. Being told he’ll get a few days of conditioning and is planning to DH Sunday to begin his rehab assignment.

    This is great news.

    I got the feeling it just sounded like such an off-the-wall thing and it came to me in the form of a Facebook post and Facebook gets more iffy all the time.

    https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/tigers-trade-idea-sees-50-million-outfield-bat-acquired-pitching-prospects-2065825. Can anybody make sense out of this Newsweek repeat of a bleacher report article claiming the Tigers should acquire Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox for much of the Erie pitching staff?

    That really is sad. He really is the picture perfect example of the greatness and frailty of human flesh. 20 years old and coming up with a season like that and then that streak of great years and then the heartbreak…

    Even though I missed most of it in real time, last night’s game was like falling from the 9th story building and landing on an awning and then walking away unharmed. A nice uncomplicated win would be welcome tonight.

    I peeked a couple times at my phone during dinner, which was a great green curry at a Thai place. But we were behind and a couple hours later when I looked at the phone, I expected to see bad news, but eight runs in the last two innings? Wow.

    I missed this entire game because I was hanging out with a great friend and missing this game was worth it, but I’m so glad I have the game thread to follow along.

    He sleeps with the fishes.

    Interesting never been there. My daughter‘s been to both ball parks and likes Dodger Stadium more but both ball parks are pretty old compared to modern standards.

    The most recent reports say Trout was planning on playing tonight, but he’s not in the lineup. The Angels are in the midst of a five game skid right now.

    Mike Trout has the most PA on the team with 121 and he’s not starting tonight. I heard that he had kind of a knee injury last night.

    Ha. It’s not incurably late. It’s just that what I’m used to is not happening. It makes sense for these games to begin seven thirtyish in Los Angeles. It takes a long time to drive to these games. One of my daughters lives in West Hollywood and she sometimes works late just to wait for traffic to die down so she spends 30 or 40 minutes less driving home.

    I really hate these West Coast games. In the eastern time zone games begin for me in the mountain zone anywhere from 4:40 PM to 5:10 PM. And for all of you in the eastern zone, these games are painfully late. I’m not an 11 year-old listening impishly on a transistor radio late at night and getting one over on my parents. Late starts are annoying.

    Just as an aside, I checked that high school Jack Flaherty and Bryce Rainer both went to, Harvard Westlake in LA, and the tuition is $52,000 a year. Wow.

    It was hard enough to endure those losses in Anaheim on TV and radio broadcast or following a game thread, but braving traffic and going to an actual game to witness the slaughter of our best and brightest, so to speak, had to be painful.

    I know it was bad, but that’s worse than I even thought. That is probably 3–16 with maybe even worse loss numbers if some of those sweeps were four-game series.

    I remember when we had a team stacked with All Stars and Cy Young winners or candidates and going on West Coast swings and tallying 2–6 records and being inexplicably shut out for 25 innings straight. I just couldn’t understand why this was so hard.
