2026 Exhibition Spring Games

[IdahoBert]

Clark lost a ball hit to left field, which is something we saw either yesterday or the day before. 

[Tigermojo]

Brutal. Clark misses two catches and Perez misses one.

[IdahoBert]

Still, still in the first inning, Clark misplays another ball in the left field that goes for a ground rule double. 

[IdahoBert]

Tigers down now 2-0 after 1.

I assume it's a windy day? Apparently it's windier in Lakeland in Feb/Mar than most guys are used to playing in. If it's the Sun I have less sympathy. You've got to deal with that.

My mistake the inning isn’t over and now it’s 3-0 and still in the bottom of the first

[IdahoBert]

Lots of people in Tigers gear sitting in the first two rows directly behind Home plate. 

[romad1]

this start to spring has not produced the fun I had hoped.  Gimme some crazy blowout wins, boys. 

[IdahoBert]

Spring training is different. They took out Tigers starter de Jesus and replaced him with Garcia and in the bottom of the second de Jesus is back out there. I guess it really is a “training game.“

[IdahoBert]

And Max Clark catches the third out of the bottom of the second hit directly at him and had no problem.

So other than the Yankees, are the pitchers ahead of the hitters in spring training?

[Motor City Sonics]

Picking up right where they left off last season in the run-scoring department.   Sure, these games don't count, but you'd like to see some signs. 

[IdahoBert]

So it looks like they wanted to stretch out de Jesus and he had a strong three up three down third inning although he ends up with 2.2 innings pitched and 49 tosses. Unless of course they send him out there in the fourth which just seems unlikely.

[IdahoBert]

One of the things I didn’t know that I learned from watching this broadcast is that during spring training there is no strike zone box on broadcasts, but they will indeed be back for the regular season even though ABS protocol is being used in both spring training and regular season games. 

[IdahoBert]

Wow, de Jesus is back out there for the fourth.

They finally took him out after getting two outs in the bottom of the fourth and getting up to 59 pitches.

how are you watching?

[romad1]

My guess is the Tigers will score some runs this season.  No evidence of it this last 14 innings though.

mlb.tv and I’m out of the Detroit viewing area. 

[IdahoBert]

Tigers get a run after the first two batters walk in the top of the fifth, but base running errors by Jung and Lee stifle the inning. I don’t know if I get to blame the players or Cora.

[IdahoBert]

The mlb.tv feed I’m getting on my TV keeps blinking out and going to black and then coming back and I don’t know if this is a problem with the Braves network or mlb.tv itself.

Same.

[IdahoBert]

Matt Olson homers (1) on a fly ball to right field. Mauricio Dubón scores. 5-1 Braves. 

[Tigermojo]

I saw the box score. When did they score 5? Oh.....

Yeah, it’s annoying. I didn’t have any problem with the Yankees feed in the first game we played so this must be a Braves issue because they now have their “own network” and they’re still working things out.
