Todd Jones...."that one guy, I forget his name, hit a home run. And congrats to Finnegan, who got his first Tigers save."

There, a post game show...🤣🤣

Over the last 10 games Cleveland has now actually lost a game on Detroit.

And over the last 19 games Cleveland has lost 1.5 games on Detroit.  They had closed to within 7 games before the Tigers launched this 13-6 stretch. Win tomorrow and it’s .700 ball for a 20-game block, but even with a loss it would be .650 ball for a 20-game block.  That is an impressive response to the 1-12 swoon

That must have been one of the the longest games since they started using the pitch clock.  It seemed that way anyway.

I can't find the length of game in any of the box scores.  That used to be a standard part of every box score.

3:16 fourth line from the bottom. Looks like a Bible passage.

Thank you!  Don't know why I missed it before.  I guess my eyesight is going along with everything else!

Fox crew stat guys apparently not very good. Late the game - Early in the 9th, Smoltz said he thought MN pitchers must be over 200 pitches and it just sort of hung there - either no-one was looking it up for him or they couldn't do the math. Eventually  - maybe two batters later, they came up with that they were over 210.

They were too busy looking up the NFL on Fox schedules

If Dingler runs after the swings, is he safe?

On a passed ball/wild pitch on strike 3, yes, he can run to 1st base. Unless 1st base is occupied, then he is just out.

Sweeney manufactures a run by dribbling one to the pitcher. 

The importance of putting the ball in play. It puts pressure on the defense. Sweeney had a good game at the plate.

In theory at least, it would make sense if that rule were waived if the guy on 1st is running on the pitch, but in practice it would likely turn into an umpiring nightmare.

No. 1st was occupied, so he can't take the base on a passed ball 3rd strike.

This is the reason why in House fast pitch i implore the girl on 1b to steal because catching at that level stinks and dropped 3rd strike is an offensive weapon.
