Vlad homered in the 1st against the Yankees.

I’ve never watched Ohtani pitch. I might watch the Dodgers-Phillies game when it starts in a couple hours just for that.

If I can last that long, I hope I’m downloaded into a new body in a no-currency, post scarcity Star Trek society.

Brewers are walking, not hitting home runs, but not popping up weakly or hitting trashy little grounders. From what source does this magic emerge?

8-1. Jeez Louise! And only one out in the second inning.

I love Yelich. I remember when he was with the Marlins and he looked like a high school junior.

I’m not used to watching TNT broadcasts and I don’t know if they’re doing something different, but the camera angles and the brightness of the color in the picture seem better than what I’m used to seeing on a regular mlb.tv broadcast.

Now six runs scored in the first inning against the Cubs by the Brewers.

Fourth run scores and Boyd is pulled getting only two out in the first inning. By the way, all the NL games in this set of rounds can be accessed through either TNT or HBO Max.

Brewers have now scored three in the first.

The Brewers have never won a World Series. Unless they’re playing us, I would not have a problem with them winning the World Series and I don’t automatically root for the American League anymore.

Brewers getting to Matthew Boyd in the first inning for two runs three doubles in a row and no outs yet.

Sue is permanently young at heart.

I wish Hinch would manufacture a pitcher out of the imagination of people who just talk about things online. Hinch is a looser and a cheet!

Per ESPN: “The Yankees went 5-8 against the Blue Jays in the regular season and just 1-6 in Toronto. The head-to-head series proved significant when both clubs finished tied atop the AL East with 94 wins, and the Blue Jays won the division because of the season-series tiebreaker.” This is going to be an interesting series.

Skubal is 3-2 in five career starts vs. Seattle, with both of those losses having come this season. So he’s due for a rebound… 🤞

Thank you I need Hope.

I feel like I’m playing with House money, but I would still really like to win this series. If Skubal can win two games and Mize can win one then we’ve got it. But the Tigers have to score runs. If they’ll only score a couple runs each game, I don’t see how this can turn out well.

This will be the first Mariners game I will have watched in several years because I am blacked out because I reside in “Mariners country”and I’m not interested in having a cable subscription. Granted I would never watch them just for the sake of it, but when the Tigers play them I can’t see the game on TV.

Saturday and Sunday weather for Seattle looks like moderate fall weather so the roof should be open.

If anyone other than the Tigers were playing against the Mariners in this series, I would begrudgingly root for the Mariners. It’s a nice ballpark. I saw the Tigers play there when Carlos Guillén was still on the team so it had to be 2011 or before. Strolling along the waterfront area before the game almost 2/3 of everybody was wearing Tigers gear. The Tigers lost 3-1. The roof was open and it was a really great atmosphere.

I just use the browser on the phone.

So is this for Jabba the Hutt or something?

This made me think of the Seattle Pilots and their ill-fated 1969 season that led to them moving to Milwaukee in 1970 and becoming the Brewers. Although I want the Tigers to win, there would be a delicious irony in Milwaukee and Seattle facing each other in the World Series. This is not the dream scenario for the oligarchs. They would just as soon have the Yankees face the Dodgers or maybe the Cubs every year and that would be the World Series no matter what.

I honestly don’t want to see DD win another World Series that he couldn’t deliver with our club. That 2018 Red Sox team that had our players on it won the whole thing. It’s galling. I’m definitely pulling for the Dodgers to beat the Phillies.
