This will be a tough series.  Going to be a beautiful weekend though.  Little chilly tonight but it's date night for the wife and I.   Tomorrow I get to see Sturgill Simpson.

Look up, look waaaaaay up.

Hang it in the Louvre.

So this game begins at 4:40 PM my time in the mountain zone so I’m thinking that means the pregame show begins at 4:20 PM because after all as the saying goes, it’s always 420 somewhere.

Except in Idaho.

Cannabis in Idaho is fully illegal for any use, whether recreational or medical. The laws on cannabis prohibition in Idaho are among the most severe in the United States, with possession of even small amounts of it a misdemeanor crime, and no legality of medical marijuana.

Hicklen is getting optioned out for Brebbia..as predicted.

Since August 10th of last season...............81 games, the Tigers are 55-26.     A full season pace of 110-52.   This has been an epic run here.   And this team still hasn't been 100% healthy through any of it.

Yeah, Idaho is really big on the cranky ass culture war BS. In fact in yesterday‘s broadcast, Jason was talking about places where the natives don’t want people to move to and he mentioned Boise. And it’s true because most of the people moving here are fleeing blue states for this bastion of red state reaction.

I’m assuming Jung will go back down here soon once Vierling is ready.

Or Malloy? Hinch loves having multiple options...

Does anyone know why Skubal's o/u outs recorded is set at 17.5, instead of his customary 18.5?

[IdahoBert]

Thinking of the Devers thing - and he has his reasons and it’s complicated -but would anybody on the Tigers roster refuse to do something AJ asked them to do?

I disagree completely. 😁

[chasfh]

The Rangers are really scuffing right now, especially in the runs-scoring department. I don’t know whether to be a little scared of that because they’re ornery and due for a breakout, or to be confident that they will continue to be lost at the plate. Skubal on the mound helps tilt it to the latter. 

[Tiger337]

There is no such thing as being due!  They will break out when they break out and there is no way of predicting when it will happen.  

[IdahoBert]

Todd Jones on the pre-game.

@oblong it’s Star Wars night. Did you dress up?

100 mph K on the first batter

Skubal don't mean a thing to Janet Jackson.
