7/6/25 1:40PM Tigers @ Guardians

[IdahoBert]

Chase Lee’s W/L is 4-0 in only 30.2 innings of work. 

[lordstanley]

Top seven AL teams all won today: Detroit, Houston, Toronto, NY Yankees, Tampa, Seattle, Boston. But LA Dodgers’ loss means the Tigers are back alone in 1st place for the MLB lead, by a game over the Dodgers and 1.5 games over Houston. Every other team in both leagues is 3 or more games behind the Tigers.

I just realized that when the Tigers play the Mariners in Detroit, I’ll be blacked out except for the game that will be on Apple TV on Friday. Of course I’m fine with game day and radio in all honesty. Still it bugs me. 

Same for me.

[IdahoBert]

Since Scoob pitched today, he is scheduled to pitch Friday, which is an Apple TV game of the evening against the Mariners.

If he pitches in the All-Star game it would be on his 4th rather than his 5th day. Is this advisable?

Since it's only a few innings I don't see a problem.

[Arlington]

I had a feeling that the final score wouldn't reflect the pitching duel that led up to it.  Glad it was the Tigers who broke out

When I asked this question to google AI, I got gobbledygook saying yes it was a bad idea and no, it wasn’t a bad idea. 

[holygoat]

I'd be surprised if Skub went more than a single inning.

100%.

Speaking of guys we could use at the moment, Matthew Boyd has 9 Ks through 4 innings with the Cubs tonight.

[casimir]

My Cleveland sports fan father-in-law borrowed my hedge trimmer the other day.  Should I text him to ask him if he needs to borrow a broom as well?

McKinstry gave Tork his glove back in the high five line.

That was a cool shot, wasn't it?  I assumed he was borrowing one.  I'm sure he has a few gloves at his disposal and wondered if he might also have a 1Bdude's mitt just in case.

I have to remember to tune into Cleveland sports radio tomorrow.  

Its going to be all about the QB depth chart.

someone else mentioned it, but signing Boyd in 2025 not 2023, or signing Boyd over Cobb in 2025 would make this a team a freight train

[gehringer_2]

Speaking of Cobb, he was supposed to throw a BP this week. Not sure how the Tigers are finesseing this or if the transactions page is just inacurate (not unlikely) but his rehab assignment started May 30, which means it has to be up by now unless he was put back on IL sometime after his June 11 appearance for the Hens.

Yeah, I guess going on three days or four days rest isn’t going to kill them. I suppose over half the pitchers are operating under conditions of mild duress anyway. 

[IdahoBert]

I haven’t really watched the All-Star game in a long time but the idea that we have three starters in the lineup is exciting, finally.

We just arrived in Detroit metro tonight.  We drove through Ohio (don't recommend) and all the peeps at the Turnpike rest area where we got gas at were filled with people who had just left the game and were many, many Detroit Tiger fans in a happy mood and much fewer Guardian fans realizing that turmoil and despair are their fate this season.

Turmoil and despair that’s something that I am really familiar with these last few years.

Of course, unlike Cleveland which last won a World Series in 1948 we’ve won a whole two of them since then!

there is despair which encompasses all the sad stuff in our life which we can't control, e.g., parents and other loved ones will eventually pass.  Then there is the despair of sports which is supposed to give us jolts of joy that mere life does not.  I don't care that you got to hold your newly first born above your head on a mountain, our sports team didn't win!

Boyd made the NL all-star game. Good for him!

[oblong]

I had to make a run to the market up the street for dinner.  I waited until McKinstry scored the tying run.  When I got in my car the inning was already over, I heard Cleveland hit a lead off double, went into the store, came back out and heard Dan say "extra innings".  Then as i pulled intio my driveway Sweeney hit the HR.  A quick trip to pick up some steak bites made the day so much better.

[lordstanley]

Another sad broadcaster of an opposing team. These are almost as good as listening to Dickerson calls of big moments.

Tom Hamilton has the single best voice to call a baseball game of anyone alive.  So smooth and easy.
