That picture must have been taken during a 2003 home game.

There's storms coming south but the question will be how far north east it stays.  Could clip the Detroit area around 12-1 pm.. maybe a delay.

We will be there today.

Javy needs to teach Vierling how to tag.

Skubal is staying in the game.

Forget about Badoo and Carpenter etc.... just do it Hinch/Harris and help your pitchers. It's a great Championship caliber defensive alignment. Just play them and watch them get better and better with repetition and playing as a unit. 

[Tigermojo]

Game of inches. The defense has been so close to preventing all the runs so far. Couldn't quite get it done.

They don't have anyone who can play 3rd base.

[Sports_Freak]

Put your backup centerfielder at 3rd base. What's the worst that could happen? Ugh...

Go get one this off season. Don't create a defensive black hole in the outfield to do so.

Harris tried to patchwork 3rd and rely on Schoop coming back from the dead. We need to see if he will actually sign real players for the black holes on the roster.

Or if the money is in the budget.

Can't buy a hit today.

[Tigermojo]

Taillon at 75 pitches. Need to get him out of there.

[kdog]

Skubal didn't have much today. But he grinded out 6 passable innings and didn't implode. Good progression.

[Tigermojo]

Three hits in a row loads the bases for Riley.

[kdog]

Carpy with the salami.

[Tigermojo]

Grand SLAM!

[romad1]

SWEET!
