12-2. This is a pretty emphatic example of what happens going up against a really really good team and it’s indicative of some of the weaknesses in this club. It is just two games, but it’s indicative.

Luis Torrens homers (5) on a fly ball to right field. Mark Vientos scores. Jeff McNeil scores. Oh well…

At least it wasn’t a grand slam.

They knew they would have her in the booth. But yes, I noticed that.

Wenceel really loves being thrown out.

Carp scores.

It’s great how the Mets catcher will hold the mitt in place for two or three seconds when the ball is a foot out of the strike zone hoping for a strike to be called.

Add another one man I ****ing hate this.

He’s already had three or four bad calls in the bottom of the first.

I really hate ****ty umps

Pete Alonso homers (32) on a fly ball to center field.

I just re-watched the the 2023 war film Sisu for the umpteenth time because I needed to arm myself with a dose strident optimism before watching this game.

If the Tigers win this game, I’ll eat my hat. Although I don’t wear hats.

I’m not sure how to fix this team because they have more problems in run prevention than they do in scoring runs. Perhaps Theodoric of York the medieval barber has the solution:

Not terribly confident about this game.

After today’s loss to the Mets, pitching seems like a pretty big deal. After all the Tigers did score 8 runs and normally that would be enough. One of the previous knocks on this team was the dearth of bats and position players in the minors. But that issue now seems to have been addressed. So aside from Jackson Jobe, do the Tigers have some arms in the minors that we can rely upon when the position players come up here?

No, although that’s a good one. My favorite one is After Hours the one with Ann Francis, and the mannequins. In the end she remembers who and what she really is.

Soto Slam

I stopped watching the game for a while because I wanted to watch my favorite Twilight Zone episode because it was more hopeful.

Charlie gives up a double Met score two

One pitch one run

“Charlie Morton extracts himself from major trouble in the first inning.” - Jason

Game begins ominously with two walks and a stolen base then a well received 5–3 DP

Manaea had some decent seasons early on in his career until injuries, I suppose, intervened.
