Let's win this series tonight!

[IdahoBert]

The Tigers have gone 18–9 for an .667 Pct. against teams in the AL Central so far and have 25 remaining games against these foes. They've gone 40-25 against everyone else in baseball for a .615 Pct. They haven’t just been “beating up on their own weak division.”

I don’t know if anyone credible would say that they’ve been doing this, although my son’s coworkers in Idaho have been needling him with this BS.

If they had lost only two more games to Central clubs they would have a .609 intradivision winning pct. and less than what they’d achieved overall against all the rest of baseball.

This team plays well against everyone.

I agree, and national journalists are also now saying that same thing. I would be interested to hear Steve Phillips address that issue again.

To paraphrase Moneyball, Jack Flaherty does indeed “look like a baseball player.“

[IdahoBert]

One pitch one out

[IdahoBert]

And Jack gives up his obligatory first inning home run

[Tigermojo]

How rude...

[Sports_Freak]

2 strike home run...terrible pitching. Inexcusable.

Even a rookie in rookie ball knows not to throw a cookie on a 1-2 pitch.

7 pitches. 3 outs. 2ks. Come on…

Not the usual first inning performance for the Tigers.

[IdahoBert]

We need a triple play

[IdahoBert]

Now we need a double play

Jack charges back from 2-on no out. The Game of Living Dangerously.

Comerica i am in you.  Took a long ass walk and some flim flaming of the security guard (a kindly African America  lady) who took pity on my mentally handicapped brother.  

[IdahoBert]

We need some Wenceel magic

[Sports_Freak]

[IdahoBert]
