The use of the term “defender” as opposed to something more specific is impressive in its generality and astutely corporate.

So did Margot really look as lost out in right field as he seemed to last night or was he dealing with unfamiliar wind currents or what not?

Jobe starts tomorrows game.

Another mic’d player for the sake of people who find baseball boring so you have to do something do “keep them in the game.” This stuff really annoys me. Maybe I’m too easily annoyed, but I don’t like it.

That’s a salient insight thank you.

When I eat at In-N-Out, I don’t feel like I’ve been poisoned like I do at a lot of other chain restaurants and that’s definitely a plus. Everything‘s fresh, nothing is ever transported in a frozen state, which means they have to have regional hubs within a 5hr drive of their restaurants.

The way guys are playing these balls in the outfield I get the feeling that the wind whipping off of the ocean plays tricks with the air.

Kreidler with a triple that was almost a home run or at least it was a triple because the two outfielders misplayed it.

Man, I can’t tell these teams apart their jerseys and hats and everything they all the same color.

In honor of this game being in California, I ran over to the local In-N-Out Burger and got a hamburger and a chocolate milkshake. We have a **** ton of Californians moving to Idaho, and finally they had to be placated by bringing their favorite burger joint here. We have three of them now in my area. It’s inexpensive and good enough. Pretty decent milkshake for only four bucks. Nothing to write home about though.

Tork bomb

Greene with a huge homer in the water as bugs buzzed around him.

Tork with a Gold Glove play at first. And Foley gets a 1-2-3 inning.

Hanifee had some pretty decent movement on those pitches. Also the strike zone box for the first time in any of the games I’ve watched this spring is finally being imposed above the plate. I can really live without that.

So Margot snagged a long flyball in the deepest part of the ballpark and he got our only hit thus far. Good job.

The good thing about watching the game with the radio feed on is I don’t have to listen to the mic’s up stuff. These distractions from the game annoy me. I’m not a football fan or something. I don’t need something to take my mind off the “boredom” of the game.

Do you work in advertising or public relations?

Holton gives up his 3rd hit of the inning. Where’s the guy with a 2.19 ERA?

I switched to the radio audio and unlike last time it’s perfectly synced.

Holton serves up a leadoff HR.

The San Francisco announcers just called Malloy Mallory.

It’s a miracle. They pressed the button.

I’m not going to torture myself by sitting through ads for the first half inning waiting for somebody in Mumbai India to press the “on button“ and stop playing ads and start playing the game. That was really, really annoying last time and not a very good way to put your best foot forward when you’re trying to shake $150 out of prospective customers. I’m going to give them at least a couple minutes to figure out how to do their job before I log on.

Holton is “starting” for the Tigers tonight.

Tigers on Apple TV Right now the Tigers will be on Apple TV on Friday nights on April 11 in Minnesota and at home against the Cubs on June 6.
