Two beers caused that?  I don’t drink at all and I consider him a lightweight.

Just a minute.  Carson Kelly has 8 home runs in 61 at bats?  Carson Kelly?  Not to mention 17 walks against 7 strikeouts?

This will be the day that I will always remember, the day that I realized that AI was deliberately distorting baseball stats, just to f*ck with us.

Everyone on the Cubs is raking. They're due for a collective slump

On my iPhone, I asked a question about why the Japanese baseball season was shorter than the American season and this is what Google AI told me:

AI Overview

“Japanese baseball seasons are shorter than American (MLB) seasons primarily because they have fewer games…”

At least they didn’t charge me for this sterling insight.

Sounds more artificial than intelligent.

So I did it. I waited for the “Mother’s Day“ sale or whatever the heck it is to get mlb.tv for half price. $69.99 now let’s watch the team go into a nose dive and make me regret it. In all honesty I don’t think that’s going to happen.

You just boosted the Tigers and they'll win even more

And I don’t think the team will go into a nose dive because I don’t think the world revolves around my random actions, although if the skies part and the sun shines, and tonight‘s game is not rained out, I might begin to think that it does. If that’s the case, I’ll be like Ren in Ren and Stimpy and pray for $1 million as well as huge pectoral muscles.

Chafin just pitched an inning for the Nats against Cleveland. He struggled but finished the inning without giving up a run. The Tigers are a better team without him. Nibbling at the strike zone, taking forever to throw a pitch and pretty wild. I'm happy with our BP.

Watching the Nationals blow a 4 run lead in the 7th inning reminds me of the Tigers a few years back. Their pitchers can't throw strikes and fall behind every hitter.

Nationals came back and beat Cleveland in the 1st game of a DH. 10-9. Cleveland stinks!
