Kerry Carpenter triples (5) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Cody Bellinger. Colt Keith scores. Gleyber Torres scores.

The only thing that makes me feel bad about this is that I love our friend Sue.

Wild pitch by pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. Trey Sweeney scores. Colt Keith to 3rd. Gleyber Torres to 2nd.

Gleyber Torres walks. Dillon Dingler scores. Trey Sweeney to 3rd. Colt Keith to 2nd.

Colt Keith hit by pitch. Parker Meadows scores. Dillon Dingler to 3rd. Trey Sweeney to 2nd

Trey Sweeney singles on a fly ball to left fielder Cody Bellinger, deflected by shortstop Anthony Volpe. Wenceel Pérez scores. Parker Meadows to 3rd. Dillon Dingler to 2nd.

This is not fair. They pull a guy who walks three and allows a single and a double? Brad Ausmus would leave him in.

Dillon Dingler walks. Spencer Torkelson scores. Wenceel Pérez to 3rd. Parker Meadows to 2nd.

Riley Greene hits a ground-rule double (30) on a line drive to right field.

I called the homer first, and I’m working on a 20 MB DSL line in the mountains I rule.

Parker Meadows homers (4) on a fly ball to right center field. Spencer Torkelson scores.

That’s why I brought Sancho Panza with me.

I’m going to be mostly MIA for this upcoming series in New York with the evil empire. I’m going up to the mountains in central Idaho for three or four days for my only time this year. So there will be no celebrations on my part about six runs, but I hope they happen anyway. Will be doing a lot of hiking, hot springs etc. with one of my oldest best friends. Last year there were terrible fires with ash falling out of the sky and an air quality rating of 500+. Looks like this year‘s fires have subsided and there’s even a little rain on the horizon, which hopefully won’t come with lightning. Hope the Tigers somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat in the Bronx. Take care all!

Oh, this is a painful recollection, but it’s true. I remember our teams back then going out on 7-game West Coast trips and returning 1-6 or 2-5.

The good thing about the Lions being trounced today is that it makes it harder for me to transfer the energies I put into the Tigers into yet another sports spectatorship addiction.

If I were Skubal I’d be happy to move on to a better stage in my career.

Lions aren’t doing too well right now either, in fact, I don’t think I want to even go over to that forum at the moment.

I don’t know how much difference home-field advantage is gonna make in the playoffs anymore.

Melton struggling as he’s loaded the bases.

After Morton’s bad top of the first, I went to get some Chinese takeout and by the time I got back, we were tied 3–3. So I rewound to watch the Tigers’ bottom of the first and it was quite pleasing. It’s good that AJ can stretch out the bullpen because tomorrow is an off day.

Zach makes it 4-3 w/SF.

The leadoff homer by Jones was really welcome, especially since he was repeating something he’d done days ago. This is the fruits of Hinchism. Start a guy high up in the order that’s good hitting lefties. Jones knows his role. He’s geared up for it, he understands the importance of it, and he delivers. Jones is one of those lubricants that keeps the team going. He’s glad to be in the major leagues and he may eventually find a home somewhere else, but being a major league player is a BFD and nothing to take lightly.

And Skubal walked a guy! What a looser!!
