You're definitely misremembering something.

Verlander and Ichiro were both on the AL team.

 

 

haha I just went and double checked, Verlander gave up a triple off a weird bounce(1:09:30 on the 2nd video), and Ichiro hit the HR off one later in the game. I give myself somewhat of a pass for mixing that up but should've known that Ichiro was on the same team since he basically played his entire career in the AL.

Score runs dummies 

[IdahoBert]

Five runs would do it. They’ve done it before. They have embarrassed my embrace of fatalism numerous times. 

[Tigermojo]

Can't win 'em all but they do win a lot of them.

[IdahoBert]

Loss. The Rays won this game. The Tigers didn’t lose it. I guess. 

[Sports_Freak]

No shame in winning a series against a team in a wild card spot. Our bullpen let up down today. One step forward, two steps back.

Yeah, they’ve actually reduced my fatalism, but not totally eliminated.

I will often refrain from commenting during a bad outing, lest I sound like TP Fan in Lions game threads 😀

Looking forward to Friday’s game now. 

[lordstanley]

Tigers lose. Fine. You have to throw the rest of the American League a bone now and then.

Not me. A radio game. I canceled Apple TV. Too many streaming services and they don't have enough content.

[IdahoBert]

The audio in AJ‘s Detroit-based post game remarks is truly awful. I noticed when they were on the road the audio was normal. I don’t know why they can’t fix this.

It’s free for me. My son pays for it and I like to watch the Foundation series which will be out soon, but that’s about the only thing I’ve watched on it aside from a couple other series.
 

[IdahoBert]

Studio on Apple TV was really good. It’s amazing how they managed to make studio execs characters you could empathize with, sort of a “sympathy for the devil” kind of thing.

[Tigeraholic1]

Apple has great series. I highly recommended Shrinking with Harrison Ford, phenomenal.

[IdahoBert]

In terms of “scoreboard watching“ the White Sox won today and the Royals, the Guardians, and the Twins are all leading in their respective games.

there was a game very recently (must have been earlier in this series) where I fired up the stream a few minutes before the game started, and it sounded like Dan and Bobby were conferenced in on their cell phones. but then the pregame chatter got interrupted by a TV commercial break, and when the broadcast came back, they sounded normal.

Dark Matter was also pretty good. Cool storyline...

Apple TV typically offers a 7-day trial window, even if you’ve subscribed before.

[IdahoBert]

The Guardians have righted their leaking ship and are still leading the Astros in the seventh 2–0.

[IdahoBert]

Guardians now leading Astros 4–0. 

[IdahoBert]

Every team, but the Tigers, in the Central won today with collateral damage occurring at the expense of the Blue Jays and the Astros, both of whom we need to see fall. We still have envious leads over everyone, so aside from the Tigers losing it was a tremendous day.

Todd Jones just now used the term “oppo taco“ and I almost turned off the broadcast. 

Although I chide Todd Jones I want to reiterate that I like him. He is a part of the lore of this club. My understanding is that Ernie loved him.

I also understand that he’s a huge baseball fan who immersed himself in the history and lore of every team he played for because it was important to him and to the fans for whom he performed.

In this sense he’s one of us, only he happens to actually have been a player too. 

[papalawrence]

Detroit's  central lead has dwindled to 13

[Tigeraholic1]

From my local news. Such a great story 1,001 pick to All-Star. I also am a North Side High School Alumni.

In fact, the top 5 MLB teams - Detroit, LA, Houston, Chicago Cubs and Toronto -  all lost today. Today, the peasants revolted. Friday, the dominators will crush the rebellion, starting with Skubal and the Tigers at the battle of Comerica.
