Ah, back to a "normal" time for a game.

[Shades of Deivi Cruz]

I hope they let Vierling where his City Connect jersey. He's been superman in that thing.

Also, am I alone in calling popups "Tork Bombs"? It takes some of the sting out of seeing them over and over.

I really like how mlb.com keeps telling me how great other players on other teams are hitting, NOT. They act like I’m supposed to care about other teams in general and want to be informed. They might as well be telling me about the Kardashians. I care that little about how well other teams are doing.

Wanna feel better? Look how Eduardo Rodriguez is doing for the Diamondbacks. $80 million for 4 years and he still hasn't pitched for them. He's hurt. I'm glad we didn't extend him...

Problem is, for every bullet dodged we have like three Jordon Zimmermans.

Been off the reservation for a few days.... 

Is Matt Vierling finally getting a little bit of respect? Finally???

[tiger2022]

I assumed Vierling would be on the pine tonight.  That seems to be the way hinch operates.

On a side note, this is going to be a good game for fans who love strikeouts

At minimum 22 Ks combined by both teams.

No. He did this twice last year for three weeks at a time. He was up there with Ohtani for a few weeks and then was mediocre the rest of the time. I'll check back in a couple weeks and months and see how he's doing.

I’d completely forgotten about him.

Me too. I had to look him up. Then I saw he had no stats for 2024. At least it's not his arm, it's a pulled oblique..or however you spell it...😆

Is there a weather delay or they delaying the game for this dumb ceremony that is on my stream?

Something about a hall of fame ceremony.

Yes, He's a good player to have on the team, but if he plays too much he seems to get exposed.  Up to this point, he's been a solid utility guy.

[AZTigersfan]

These are some truly terrible ABs even for our offense. 

[Tigerbomb13]

Eric Munson Ks

[1984Echoes]

Who gets to pitch a no-hitter against us today?

For at least 5 or so innings to start the game...?

I'm losing track...

Yup he’s the only one too! The rest of the lineup is absolutely raking!🙄 

[Tigerbomb13]

These are some of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen. Is Pivetta this good?

He's decent...the Tigers without Carpenter are horrific.

Halfway there

  The Tigers might push 15 tonight.

[tiger2022]

I am.fortunate.  I have Pinetta and Flaherty on my fantasy team.  

[Tigerbomb13]

I guess we’ve got a pitchers duel here. Flaherty has been a revelation.
