6/11/25 6:35PM Tigers @ Orioles

[IdahoBert]

Riley gets our first hit

[Dan Gilmore]

And Tork watches strike three down the middle.

[holygoat]

Eflin about to throw a CG shutout tonight.

I had to go look it up cause it "seemed" to me like so many of the Tigers HRs given up were on the 1st pitch of the at bat and it turns out that is the 17th time out of 65 HRs this year where that happened. Have no idea how that percentage relates to league average but not as high of number as it felt like to me.

Edit: So went and looked and 450 of the roughly 2100 HRs this year have been on the first pitch so percentage wise the Tigers are a little higher but nothing crazy.

Seeing Cal Ripken in the crowd and it makes me wonder why all these old ball players gain weight. As I’ve got older I’ve lost weight.

maybe continuing to eat like pro athletes despite reduced athletic activity? that's what I've always assumed at least.

Casey Mize and letting the lead off hitter get on tonight.  Name a more iconic duo.

[Toddwert]

Mize letting a lot runners on the bases been lucky giving up only 2

Well when your pitchers attack the strike zone, that’s more likely to happen.  That’s been the only bit of success anyone has had against Skubal

[IdahoBert]

Man, that fifth inning for Mize was tense. 

[Toddwert]

the bats need to pick it up

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

I sure hope the Tigers can score some runs in this game. seems like every time I look at the TV it's the Orioles batting.

[motownblues]

C'mon now. This is the worst pitching staff in MLB.
