Excited to watch Ohtani

[RatkoVarda]

3 Ks; probably his last appearance is off to a good start

[romad1]

Tork gave one a ride but caught per Dan D

[chasfh]

Greeting from beautiful downtown Detroit, Michigan!

That last one is Ohtani getting punched out. 😁

[chasfh]

Great play at the plate, JB!

[romad1]

that is about as out as a runner will ever be out on a contact play.

All those empty seats I bet you could slide out of those nose bleeds to the lower level. 🙂

I really hope we don't come down to an extra innings situation in which we refuse to move the runner to 3rd.

Are the Tigers an Eric Haase charity fund? You can't do anything about Baez but Haase is legit cooked.

According to twitter, he has a .382(!!!!) OPS in his last ~150 at-bats. He won't be around next year.

They just need to put him in the 6 hole over and over again and see what happens.

Andy Dirks is hilarious. Riffing on Moustakis admiring his hitting handiwork instead of legging it to 2nd.

I call that the Maton Program

Lorenzan doesn't want to be traded either

the guys are pros - sure, but your emotions have to be in a strange state knowing you're about to bid farewell to your teammates of the last 4 months.

Drawn in IF saves one run, costs one run. Never really been a fan though. It's a lot like bunting - I'm surprised analytics haven't put an end to the strategy. In the long run getting outs always should take priority - it's the corrolary of not giving them away with the sacrifice.

Of course with this one trending strongly toward shut-out, runs allowed won't matter.

Seems like Shep and Petry got the memo to talk up Haase today

[kdog]

this is unfair

Carpenter breaks up the perfect game.
