Tork to the rescue. Victor Robles lines into an unassisted double play, first baseman Spencer Torkelson. J.P. Crawford out at 1st.

Remember when Brad Ausmus would’ve left a guy like Mize in until he allowed five runs?

We’re striking out like we’re facing Sandy Koufax tonight.

I hope we don’t have a leaky bullpen tonight

I’m sorry. I don’t know anybody who’s ever thought that Canada was one of our traditional enemies.

This would be a good time for Greene to hit a home run.

If he becomes the guy that we hoped he would be, this would be freaking amazing.

500 miles. But on Cable it is the team that’s our regional team and I in fact know people who live here who are Mariners fans, may God have mercy on their souls.

I decided to subscribe to the radio feed for $3.99 a month. I love listening to Dan. I’ve been listening to him for over 20 years and he just feels like a member of the family.

What a ****ty umpire

I know Torkelson looks new. Casey looks new. This is really cool.

Only 43 pitches through three innings for Casey.

He’s Ty Cobb minus the unfriendly attitude.

And then I saw Tork hit now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer,

Tork doubles him in.

Our much maligned McKinstry just singled and stole the base. This is Tiger baseball.

The guy who just struck out to end the bottom of the second Miles Mastrobuoni has an awesome name. It trips off the tongue like poetry.

The Tigers made the top of the second easy for the Mariners pitcher, needing only six pitches to make three outs.

An important part of Idaho the panhandle the slender area that extends up to the Canadian border and has some significant population is economically tied in to the state of Washington and is even on Pacific time because of that instead of mountain time so it makes sense but Alaska? I guess if Canada becomes “the 51st state” the entirety of western Canada up to and including Alaska will be in the Mariners viewing area.

I can never watch these games the Tigers play against the Mariners because they are blacked out for me because I’m in their viewing area and I don’t have cable and I’m not willing to give Root sports $19.99 a month without Cable to watch the Tigers play the Mariners six times a year. The Mariners viewing era area is very huge and includes Washington, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and much of of Idaho except the eastern part of the state that falls within the Rockies viewing area.

I’m glad I didn’t make the idiot observation about “saving some runs for this game“ because we scored so many in the last. Even Colt Keith is getting into it.

I started watching or rather re-watching the Godfather part two last night got halfway through and of course, since today is April 1, Paramount, which is where I was watching it has decided to switch it over to its Pluto TV with ads or Amazon will let you buy it for $16.99. this is happening all the time now movies that have been streaming on a streaming service forever often aren’t even going to one of these ad driven platforms, but you have to buy them or rent them.

All the Bourne movies premiered in Boise, Idaho, where I live because the producer’s wife is from Boise and was active in local theater for years before she married him. So they all premier here with all proceeds being a fundraiser for local theater. For the fourth Bourne movie, which sucked, my son who was quite young and short at the time, ducked under a barricade and ran up to get a selfie with Matt Damon and Damon‘s people tried to stop him, but Damon was wonderful and let Mason take the picture with him. I think the Ultimatum is one of the most exciting movies I’ve ever seen. I didn’t see the premiere at the local Egyptian theater, but I did see the film that week during its premier and I gasped so many times.

I forgot it was April 1. I just thought this was the day my rent was due.

It’s too bad we have to get quite deeply into the season before we get Torkelson into that Sutter Health Park.
