Tigeraholic1 Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Comerica Park - Detroit, MI Listen: 97.1 The Ticket Watch: FanDuel Det Game Time Forecast: 88 Partly Sunny Starters: RHP George Kirby RHP Casey Mize Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I can't imagine sitting in that sun on a day like today at Comerica Park. There are some storms working their way towards the tri-county area, but they won't last long. Quote
HugoD Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Kirby’s ERA a little inflated this year, but he’s been pitching well of late. Interestingly, his WHIP is pretty decent for the year and in line with career numbers. Think maybe ERA inflated by a significant HR rate. Perhaps he had a bad stretch earlier in year. All to say - he could be a challenge. However, if he’s been more prone to HRs, that could be an opportunity. We’ve been reliant on HRs more this year. Could use another good outing from Mize. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Line of strong rain just blew through Plymouth. Only lasted around 15 minutes, no thunder or lightning. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Holy cow!! It went to sunny and hot to a totally black sky and the trees bent over sideways. And now rain is coming down...sideways. spooky... Quote
IdahoBert Posted July 12 Posted July 12 A rain delay? How utterly uncommon and the only rain that’s occurring is right at the start of this game who would’ve thunk it? Quote
Sports_Freak Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Todd Jones got pretty emotional talking about his Tiger career and the history of our team. Showing the Ordenez walkoff that got us to a World Series and Ernie's farewell speech got to him. (Me too...sniff) It made me think how lucky I've been to see Al Kaline's 3000 hit and Cabrera's 3000th. Very special memories. 1 Quote
Toddwert Posted July 12 Posted July 12 it'll never not get dusty when i see magglios homerrun soooo many seasons of crappy baseball erased in one moment bonus i was at the game and i can still see that ball disappearing into the night and remember everyone just go crazy as soon as the ball left his bat Quote

I missed the full list, but was in person for #1 (Maggs walkoff HR) and #3 (Miggy’s 3K hit). Other notables at CoPa: CoPa opener, Weaver vs Guillen, Austin Jackson traded during the game. Quote

It's like the reason for all heartbreak, knowing that eventually the loyalty will be rewarded. Quote

I just got home after taking a walk in the botanical garden and up into the foothills of the Boise Front where once again I saw a solemn great horned owl sitting on a branch, nobly indifferent to my presence. Listened to the bottom of the First on the radio in my car. Too bad we couldn’t cash in on the bases loaded. This game is blacked out live for me. I’m presuming that Dan is doing the play-by-play on TV. Quote
Tenacious D Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Paws trolling Seattle with a “should have given the ball to Marshawn” sign behind home plate is awesome. Quote
IdahoBert Posted July 12 Posted July 12 It’s getting to the point that whenever there’s a situation with men on base or something critical needs to happen, I’m always more confident when Zach McKinstry is coming to bat. Quote
romad1 Posted July 12 Posted July 12 lazily watching while in our rental house... Need a win here. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Dan says they stole that base off of Mize. Let's just ignore the fact that Jake has thrown the ball into centerfield on both stolen bases. Quote
