I start to get the willies when I think a game should be a slam dunk. Maybe I should trust the part of me that reasons instead of the part of me that merely feels. So I’m saying we win and that Skubal retains his great form.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2025-playoff-odds.shtml I don’t know how baseball reference calculates their odds for a club winning the World Series, but the Tigers presently have the highest percentage possibility of being World Series champions. Tigers ——— 20.5% Yankees —— 16.5% Dodgers —— 9.4% Cubs ————12.5% Obviously, subjective criteria such as fame, media coverage, optics, excitement level, the allure of great stars, street cred, etc., don’t enter into it.

Mariners just scored two runs to give them a 6–3 lead over the twins In the bottom of the eighth.

In a game that was like two guys wrestling over a bottle of MD 20/20 in a trash filled alley, the Orioles defeated the White Sox 2-1.

Every team, but the White Sox, in our division is playing over .500 ball. and we have a huge lead right now and when we’re finished with KC, we play the White Sox. Need to win at least one of the next two games.

The rolling hills around Kansas City are really really beautiful, green rolling hills, wooded areas featuring old homes with white picket fences like something out of a Thomas Hart Benton painting, which is probably where he got the idea. I really liked Kansas City and I have two really good friends who live there. neither of them cared that much about sports so I don’t feel bad about beating their team because they don’t care.

I didn’t spend enough time in Kansas City to know if Art Deco architecture is a big deal there. That might’ve been what they were playing off of, but I’ll admit the uniforms just aren’t anywhere near as good as our Daglow Tron uniforms with 16th century cod pieces.

Tork bomb

I wish the city connects sported 16th century dayglow cod pieces.

I think the KC connects are boring. I’m just disappointed they didn’t have Dayglow pinstriping on the Tigers motor city connects.

Triple after Tork can’t make the catch

Riley did strike out on the sixth pitch of the bat, however.

Riley give me six runs which if my math is correct means one more than five

Two double plays in an inning, but I have never really been good at math.

Spencer Torkelson singles on a line drive to left fielder Drew Waters. Kerry Carpenter scores. Gleyber Torres to 3rd.

Would be nice to see Tork do something special in this at bat.

Carp Single!

Our guys need to start pouring on the runs

I’m kind of amazed it didn’t turn out worse.

Well at least we had a rested bullpen for a day.

Damn the Royals are doing what the Royals do. Fly ball advances runners to second and third into scoring position. Mize is being pulled.
