Everyone but Tork and Sir Zack has an actual hit tonight.

Stop this nonsense Skubal

So did Dan

Elvin Rodriguez Is arguably the worst pitcher statswise in the NL and he’s the guy to stop hemorrhaging runs for the Brewers

Score more runs. I want the club to get the “run differential“ trophy this year.

Five frames 54 tosses

Now people who are watching the fishing channel on cable will not get an update on their phones and watch the ninth inning of the “no no.“ Good!

No hitters are fascist. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about it. Let’s just win the game.

Kreidler singles

RBI sac fly 8-0.

7-0 and Tork up. Keep the line goin’ Tork

Javy single Keep scorin’ Keep dealin’

I think Montero had the only CG.

20 pitches for our boy in 2 innings.

Watched the first episode of LAST OF US Pt. 2 last night and it was spectacular. I’ve watched my son play both games all the way through and the games themselves are great. And in last night‘s episode there were more homages to the game that you would only get if you were familiar with gameplay, but they were deeply satisfying and the story and the changes that will necessarily have to be made to bring the game to television are really great as were the changes they made for the first season as well. It has now been proved beyond a shadow of doubt that you can make a good show about a video game, but you have to deeply care about the content of the game, but also be willing to change even important parts of the narrative to transfer it to the screen. That said, the Uncharted movie did an abominable job of this and this is a game that I watched my son play also because it’s fantastic entertainment and he played all four games and then the fifth game that is tangentially related to the previous four. Hanging with my son when he plays video games has been one of the greatest bonding experiences in our relationship. And that’s not easy to do when you have a son who is 50 years your junior.

Just clicking stuff on the TV I saw that the Pirates - Nationals (Skenes starting by the way) game today was the free game of the day and their pregame show starts a whole hour before the game itself begins. I’m not sure the Tigers have enough TV talent to provide an entire hour of chitchat before a game. I’m not sure the Pirates TV crew has enough talent either. I turned off the sound and at one time it looked like they were doing the Macarena.

I remember surreptitiously listening to the Tigers play the Angels at 11 PM as a kid and enjoying how delighted Ernie Harwell was to say the name Bo Belinski. It really tripped off his tongue in an elegant manner. It was really a great baseball name too. The idea of getting away with something when I was supposed to be asleep was wonderful.
