Tigeraholic1 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Comerica Park - Detroit, MI Listen: 97.1 The Ticket Watch: FanDuel Det Game Time Forecast: 77 Partly Sunny Starters: LHP Jacob Lopez RHP Jack Flaherty Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 25 Posted June 25 I’ve heard rumors that there might possibly could be sort of might happen to be enough of a part in the clouds for a game to maybe occur tonight. Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 25 Posted June 25 The pregame broadcast crew has been entertaining with their rain delay stuff. But it would be really nice just to see a game start on time. Quote
1776 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Jack Flaherty is overdue a good start. If he can fulfill the definition of a ‘quality start’ it would be a help to the bullpen. Quote

CMU97 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 My driveway is dry. Which is good, because I'm going to see the Pulaski River Turtles take on the Bluefield Ridge Runners (Appy League) tonight. The Ridge Runners are managed by former Pirate Jack Wilson, who I remembered as a Tiger Killer back in the oughts. So I looked up the numbers, and he had 3 great series against us. We only played the Pirates about once every two years on average then. 1 Quote

He knows what he has to do. The Knuckle Curve needs to be better. He’s been dominant when he’s just off the plate with it. The past couple starts it’s been so far short of the plate that nobody is even thinking about hacking. It puts him behind in the count and makes his fastball and slider much more hittable. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted June 25 Posted June 25 The A's problem isn't hitting and scoring runs, it's horrible pitching. They've scored 339 runs, it would be the 2nd most in our division. The Tigers need to score 6 to 8 runs against them. Even Skubal gave up 4 runs to them and he's pretty good...😆 Quote

IdahoBert Posted June 25 Posted June 25 9 minutes ago, Sports_Freak said: The storms seem to be following the Tigers around. 😁 Joe Btfsplk was a character in the satirical comic strip Li’l Abner by cartoonist Al Capp. The hapless Btfsplk means well, but he is "the world's worst jinx" and brings disastrous misfortune to everyone around him. A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over his head to symbolize his bad luck. Btfsplk and his ever-present cloud became one of the most iconic images in Li'l Abner. 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 25 Posted June 25 I never really read Li’l Abner in the 1960s when I was growing up. I was aware of it - especially this character as a trope - but it was aimed at older people and was full of mocking distaste for my generation. Quote

IdahoBert Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Looks momentarily sunny and they’re pulling the tarp off the field Quote
Sports_Freak Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Flaherty gets to pitch in better conditions today. Against Tampa, it was about 1000⁰ with 300% humidity.😆 Much better tonight. Hopefully we get better results. 6 ip and 3 runs allowed? I would take that. Quote

IdahoBert Posted June 25 Posted June 25 No four run first innings for the other team! It would be cool if we did it ourselves, just saying. Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted June 25 Posted June 25 haha, nice grab by Flaherty! right between the wickets. Quote
