Keep the offense heated up against Verlander and win one for all the moms!

[MichiganCardinal]

Beautiful day for a ball game. And Happy Mother’s Day!

[IdahoBert]

I can’t see that their underwear is showing through so I’m assuming they’re going commando.

According to Greene, some of them do. TMI.

[Tigermojo]

Colt Keith dang! Just missed second day in a row.

Remember when they started sporting pink in ballgames on Mother’s Day? That was probably about, what, 2010 or so? Back then there was still enough of—to use a way of speaking contemporaneous to the times—the stink of gay around the color to suppress adoption of use, and I would say roughly two-thirds of players did not participate, and of those who did swing a pink bat their first time up, at least a third of them went back to their regular non-pink bats for subsequent trips to the plate.

We do have a completely different generation of players in the game now, though, and a lot of them were familiar with female authority figures in the sports they grew up playing, like women coaches, umpires, girl players, and the like. There’s a lot that’s good about that in general, and one of them is the softening up toward use of the color pink as not being a commentary on your manliness.

Cyclists go commando and all they’ve got is a thin sheen of Lycra covering them so when they hit the tarmac their rears hang out and there’s just no way around it. And they’ll ride for another hundred miles like that. 

[IdahoBert]

Strike ‘em out, throw ‘em out to end the top of the third. Nice.

LOL - definitely a bad decision there  - he was out by at least 6 ft.

[1984Echoes]

Verlander's gonna toss a no-hitter against us...

[Tigermojo]

Verlander is taking the youngsters to school.

[gehringer_2]

everything working for JV today. Just like old times, except for the uniform.

I just looked it up, and pink bats on Mother’s Day were first used in 2006, which is even longer ago, and if I’m not mistaken, the only player in the majors today who also played in 2006 was Justin Verlander, who, either for nothing or not for nothing, is not sporting even a stitch of pink anywhere on his person. At least not visibly. 😁

[MichiganCardinal]

Unpopular opinion: I could do without the pandering to the military at every single professional sporting event.

[gehringer_2]

IDK if Keith is getting as fast a Schoop was on the pivot, but he's not doing to badly.

Pleasantly surprised by his defense.

[MichiganCardinal]

Forget the no-no, he’s perfect through 4.

[gehringer_2]

Kate is still waiting for the perfecto.

The Nike swooshes on his shoes are pink and he has a little pink ribbon on his chest.

[Tigermojo]

Keith screaming single!

[1984Echoes]

Thank you Colt.
