Be the hero Wenceel, not the goat

No McKinstry magic this inning.

I’m not exactly sure what happened there or who I should blame or let off the hook but I sure wish we’d scored a run there.

Jason is starting to talk about advertising now. Apparently he isn’t afraid AJ will punch him out.

Big Foot is out creeping around and Jack is history

really need to get Koyaanisqatsi out

Jack is reaching the point where he usually starts falter.

Kolek is at only 59 pitches, he’s hardly had to work at all.

Now we just need to get the Tigers score 6.

Garcia HR.

I looked it up and supposedly it is a net positive not by a lot from what I can tell, but it is a positive.

Did A. J. Pierzynski ever get into a big fight with the Tigers?

Dingler singles and Sweeney doubles to open the third.

No first batter home run, so I guess I’ll just take what I get.

Now I’m hoping that Jack does not serve up a long ball to the first batter. If he doesn’t do that, all my hopes will have been hoped out and I’ll stop hoping.

They did the first thing.

As I recall last weekend, the Apple TV broadcast was constantly pitching betting opportunities. I don’t know if Fox will do that or not.

Jason is the announcer for Fox. He might have to rein it in a little bit today because they’re making him wear a sportcoat and a tie, and the other announcer is wearing a sportcoat and a tie.

I hope the Tigers don’t do one of two things in the first inning. The first thing I don’t want them to do is to make three easy outs in a row. The other thing I don’t want them to do is load the bases with no outs and then make three easy outs in a row.

Well, 7 minutes ago the MLB.TV feed came on and all it is is commercials with a one second shot of the playing field and then another round of commercials. Maybe the Fox broadcast won’t begin until the first second of the first pitch I don’t know.

By the way, this game is on Fox and last time mlb.tv allowed me to watch it in Idaho. I don’t know how this works for all of you in the Detroit area. I presume you can watch it on local Fox there. Those of you who live elsewhere may get screwed. In Idaho it is assumed that no one in their right mind would ever want to watch the Tigers, the team with the best record in the American League. So my local Fox affiliate will let me see the Mariners and Cleveland and Cleveland is great because they haven’t lost a single game all year long and none of their players are serving long jail sentences… yet. There will of course, be no FanDuel pregame show.

I forgot what it was like to win. I didn’t follow this game very closely because I was expecting the worst and after the first inning… Glad the Tigers won. Glad Finnegan is excelling. After all the seeming setbacks and disappointments the Tigers still have the second most wins in all the baseball, but when you’re in the midst of a skid, it doesn’t feel like that. I know these guys play with passion and really care. But they have to have ice water in their veins still to withstand all the stuff that really bothers us.

FIRE HARRIS!

What’s with the Royals taking Lugo out so quickly? Don’t they know they’re supposed to leave him in until he allows eight or nine runs?
