We have Bert!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

WP scores Sweeney

[IdahoBert]

Wild pitch by pitcher Kody Funderburk. Trey Sweeney scores. Jahmai Jones to 3rd.

I love crooked numbers.

Funderburk may have some control/command issues.

Now we're cooking. Allowing 2-3 baserunners every inning is gonna blow you up eventually.

WE'VE GOT BERT !

I’m laid up sick today with a bad cold so I haven’t been able to follow this game too closely but close enough to be alternatingly disappointed and happy as well. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

what did Jones think happened at home? he was out by like a foot and a half.

[Motor City Sonics]

A thing I love about message boards is somebody coming in here for the first time is probably thinking  Why is everyone suddenly saying Bert ?

Aw, shucks, thank you. I’m not one of the smart people, but I am a fan.

[holygoat]

I know this is petty af, but I'm kinda disappointed they only scored 3 there.

Yeah I don't get it, he was pretty animated about it, did he think the catcher was illegally blocking him or something?

He's being the Wide Receiver, who every time they don't catch a pass they throw their hands up in the air like "Why was there no PI call there".      Credit for the effort.

this feels to me like a vanity license plate for some reason.

Tagged on the cup so he didn't feel it?

I thought it was square in the chest, but I already don't remember clearly any more.

Just for the record although most people know how this came about, in 2008 when the Tigers added Sheffield and Miggy and were expected to win the World Series and score 1000 runs -which is roughly 6 runs a game - it turned out to be a really bad year so sarcastically I started asking “where’s my six runs?“ Now there are many reasons to either ask this question or celebrate its achievement.

Can we all collectively throw a fit when Hinch brings in Kahnle?

[Dan Gilmore]

Come on, ump

[IdahoBert]

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Holton comes in and promptly gives up a double.

Finnegan and Vest. If we still have a lead.

[Sports_Freak]

Tigers pull the infield in?
