Am I right am I right? Am I right?

Let’s hope that the right field fence moves in for us too

Another homer so do the Rangers have a garbage can thing going on?

Dan on TV tonight!

Maybe I’m in a bad mood, but I find what’s his face and Todd Jones unwatchable.

FYI - on Facebook today I’ve been getting inundated with phony news websites, claiming that both the Tigers and the Cubs have rejected advertising from Tesla because it violates their “family values.” Everyone is led back to some “person” called tintinhanahah and the comments are filled with phony people from what I can tell, making two word posts of agreement. Just be warned it’s indicative of how crappy Facebook is becoming.

I hadn’t thought about the pitch clock and injuries or heard about it, but I have to admit it doesn’t seem like there’s much time between pitches and even though I don’t like long games 15 seconds seems a little short to me.

The human body is not made for the punishment some of these sports require players to endure. When we were caveman, we never took a rock and threw it with various degrees of spin and bodily contortion 90 times every five days.

Mize was placed on the injured list Saturday due to a hamstring strain, retroactive to May 9, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Mize pitched Thursday and dominated the Rockies, allowing one earned run with eight strikeouts across six innings. However, per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, Mize felt a sensation in his hamstring late in the outing that was originally attributed to dehydration. The strain is considered mild — Per CBS News

Oh crap! This is why we can’t have nice things.

We’re already there. You get two more wishes from the magic lamp and you wasted one.

FYI - Alex Cobb (hip) looked uncomfortable covering first base during a live batting practice session Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

You are being kind by only referring to it as “fluff.“

That was such heads up play it made me gasp. I don’t know if they could conceivably imagine something like this happening and have a plan in mind when it does or not. I just don’t remember seeing something like this before.

Wow, the Dodgers pitching really sucks compared to ours:

This is utterly amazing. I suppose it’s happened before, but it’s pretty much new to me in terms of paying attention game by game, pitch by pitch.

They all “stayed within themselves“ and “pitched to the score“ so they were able to log more innings and start more games. There’s no way to compare the different eras.

The statement “I’m tired“ made me wonder about Mickey Lolich’s high-pitch totals “back in the day“ so I looked it up and this is what Google AI gobbledygook told me. It told me that he pitched for the Detroit Tigers against the Detroit Tigers: AI Overview Mickey Lolich threw a total of 170 pitches in a single game, an 11-inning complete game, on Father's Day in 1974. The game was played at Tiger Stadium against the Detroit Tigers. Lolich also threw an 11-inning complete game, with the Tigers winning the game in a walk-off.
