The Yankees road uniforms have a quiet dignity I like. 

No shame in paying respect like that.

Anybody know the four starters the last time the Tigers had that many in an All Star Game? The year was 1966.

That was before McLain had his huge years, so I would guess that they were all hitters:

Cash Kaline Freehan Horton....

 

 

I was off by one.

McLain actually started the 1966 All Star game and pitched 3 innings.

Kaline and Freehan are correct. McLain also started. We also had the starting shortstop in that game.

[IdahoBert]

I guess the pregame goes until almost half past the hour.

You are right about McLain.  When I looked it up after my original guess, I was looking at 1965!  So, I was off by two.

This is 200-proof cringe.

When they ask these guys to “put it into words“ I wish they would just reply with something like “actions speak louder than words.”

quit bothering Skoob and let him get some outs here.

BABIP

[Tenacious D]

Ugh.  1976 All Star game all over again.

[IdahoBert]

2-0 NL

Tigers reps picking up where they left off last weekend…

[lordstanley]

Torres strikes out. Greene strikes out. Skubal gives up 2 runs before the 1st out. All is going to plan - Tigers playing possum on the national stage so others will underestimate them in October.

What’s the challenge criteria - does the ball after to be touching the virtual strike zone, substantially in it, completely in it?

“Skubal is not a big (exhibition) game pitcher”.

I'm sounding the alarm now!! Tigers will have major difficulty making the playoffs this season. How did Skuball become such trash in one week? Scott Harris should also DFA somebody to send a message to this team. Tigers are getting way too comfortable believe the hype.

Someone tell them they have a 0.2% chance.
