Yes, yes yes it begins Parker homer.

OK, it’s time to win this game in the dramatic walk off fashion that we have gotten used to. It needs to be the equivalent of the kid in Christmas Story getting the Red Ryder range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time and NOT shooting our eye out.

Leaving Maeda in with the hope of winning tomorrow. Not every hill is worth dying on. Going 2-1 against a good team like Baltimore would be success.

It’s a tossup about whether I’m going to keep watching this game or watch a movie on Amazon, NEPTUNE FROST, a sci-fi musical about post-genocidal Rwanda.

Now 4-0 O’s

Yeah, it’s like watching the cake bake in the oven. It’s something you shouldn’t do. Man he looks young.

Just saw his first AAA strikeout

Whoa! Cool!

I’m not home right now. I’m just wondering if you only see highlights or actual games.

I’ve seen stuff on the mlb.tv app on my television about the Tigers minor-league affiliates. Can I actually watch minor-league games there? Especially interested in the flying tigers postseason.

Fortunately, everyone gets screwed by bad calls.

We are going to need more than one run to win this game tonight.

I love DP’s especially when we turn them.

Colt takes the befouling distraction of a no-no off the menu.

We are all well aware BA doesn’t say it all - and this isn’t something I agonize over a lot - but this is the first time in a while I have noticed that the bottom four in the order are not all below .200. Only Rogers, and he’s a special case because he catches.

Alex did not bounce the ceremonial throw to the plate. Nice.

That’s a really fascinating insight. It makes a lot of sense.

I’m curious what the winning percentage is of the other four teams in the Central Division against the White Sox and what the winning percentage of all the other teams that have played them in baseball is. I wouldn’t be surprised if everybody in baseball has beat up on the White Sox in relatively the same manner.

You are my Jimi Hendrix minus the overdosing, of course.

I can’t see how making a SP go a certain amount of innings has anything to do with the way this game has ever been played. The bull pen strategy or whatever you wish to call it is only a direct result of pitchers going on the DL because every pitch can result in a home run and they’re injuring themselves trying to avoid that. If they’re going have a rule about pitching a certain number of innings, they should add the 10 run mercy rule and be honest about the Mickey Mouse nature of these changes. Of course, I don’t know what their series of ifs, ands, or buts are that will adjudicate all these possible complications. If they’re going to do anything, they should deaden the ball so pitchers are not throwing their arms out of whack and getting TJ surgery for fear of giving up a plethora of long balls.

I have to admit, I have rarely had cause to use this term in any context, but it really applies to the energy you see exhibited on this field by these young guys. The unabashed joy they share is really special.

This is really good way of putting it and I entirely agree. I had hoped that we would have this kind of record by this time, but I didn’t expect it to be achieved in such dramatic fashion and so late in the season after so many previous missteps.

If the scions of some other corporate entity owned the Detroit Tigers, I wonder how the “home run celebration“ would change.
