People who rise to the top of organizations are frequently aggressive operators, and not “men of the cloth” with a love for the textures and history of the of the institutions they have conquered.

He looked leaner and perhaps healthier, which is possibly too much to hope for, but it sure looked like Kirk.

I think 154 games is a rational thing for a variety of reasons. But I’m 73 years old and I am only familiar with a 162 games schedule from when I started astutely following box scores in 1961. I’m not sure how much nostalgia there is for a 154 games other than in nursing homes. I think the health and well-being of players would improve with a 154 games schedule. I always breathe a sigh of relief when the Tigers have a day off just because the bullpen gets a rest. I can use the day off too, although my skin is actually crawling for a game to follow on off days because I’m an addict.

Since I followed this mostly on game day, I went back and watched the 10th on TV and I could’ve sworn I saw Kirk Gibson in the crowd at field level.

I think I like this team again!

Winning this way is almost more fun than a homer just because of the sheer, senseless serendipity of it.

What a humiliating way to lose game. Ha!

HA!

On the radio they’re talking about the weird mist in the air like something out of a Gothic horror novel

They need to figure out a way to work NASCAR into this tiebreaker thing.

Extra baseball! Wheeeeee!

So, might as well walk it off.

Jose Altuve grounds into a double play, shortstop Javier Báez to second baseman Gleyber Torres to first baseman Spencer Torkelson. Carlos Correa out at 2nd. Jose Altuve out at 1st.

I do have friends who are both very intelligent who like basketball much more than baseball and they both even played baseball. One of them loved baseball and he grew up in Iowa, but his father was a Nazarene minister and the games mostly happened on Sunday so he wasn’t allowed to play and his love for baseball died.

200th K.

Guess he’s used to tossing in the 100s and didn’t want to overdo it

Score runs!

10th K for 11th time this season.

Sighhhhh… heck.

Please Tork!

Do it Riley.

Scoob delivers!

Boo!

Following on game day and radio and game day is three or four pitches behind.
