I start to get the willies when I think a game should be a slam dunk. Maybe I should trust the part of me that reasons instead of the part of me that merely feels. So I’m saying we win and that Skubal retains his great form. 

[IdahoBert]

I guess Dingler isn’t superstitious about the number 13.

AI Overview

Yes, MLB teams do assign the numbers 13 and 69 to players. While some teams have historically avoided or rarely used certain numbers like 69, it's not a blanket rule against their use. The Pirates have had many players wear the number 69, but the Yankees have had only one.

Around 10 years ago a French singer named Alizee was the talk of MTS for her performance of her song J’en Ai Marre, which I believe translates to I Love Tigers Fans. Her other big hit was Moi Lolita. This week, in a concert in Paris, Dua Lipa paid tribute to Alizee by singing the latter song on the 25th year anniversary of its release.

Wacha is also pretty good. It <should> be a low scoring game. But...baseball. Ya just never know.

Is Malloy still with Detroit or has he been sent down? If everyone stays healthy, he'll go to Toledo when Meadows gets back, right?

Why is this game not starting at the prescribed time and they’re still showing pregame stuff?

was just about to ask the same.

[IdahoBert]

I would’ve kept watching the replay of stage 20 of the Giro d’Italia if I’d known they were going to fart around. 

[IdahoBert]

I guess I’ll just keep gameday up on my phone and keep glancing at it until there’s activity

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

looks like it's about to start finally.

Jersey retirement. Moustakis...or however he spells it.

[monkeytargets39]

Feels like Wacha has been in the league for 20 years

They retired his jersey?  He has a career WAR of 12.  Should we retire Omar Infantes jersey?

[Sports_Freak]

Skubal against Witt. Worth the price of admission.
