Fortunately, this game is not a “must win.“

Judge hits another homer off a no name pitcher. Yanks 8-2.

I'm glad I'm really only here to listen (for the first time in months) to Dan speaking.

Max Clark has entered the game in centerfield.

Announcers fussing that Tigers should be nervous about turning SS over to a 21 year old McGonigle...apparently they're too young to recall a 19-20yr old Alan Trammell.   18 year old Robin Yount.  Etc - I would think with the advanced training that kids would be MORE ready today.

When I say he'll probably start at some point, that means I am assuming there will be injuries.  A team should have 8 viable starters at the beginning of the season.  I think he's one of the 8 along with Melton , Anderson and the top 5.  Melton and Anderson would probably be ahead of him.  A couple of them may start in Toledo.  

Agreed. He very well may start in Toledo to keep him stretched out. Or maybe stay up north for long relief. In Hinch I trust.....😆

One of the things Dan Dickerson just mentioned is that with the WBC we’ll likely see a lot more of the young guys than we would have otherwise. I’m cool with that.

By the way, tomorrow’s game in Lakeland will only have a Tigers radio feed; neither team will be broadcasting on TV for Sunday.

The opponents are more ready too!  However, the really good ones often start early, so starting at 21 years old is not that rare.

Our pitching sucks....we'll be lucky to win 50 games.

Can the Tigers just go ahead and cut everyone who pitched today?

20-3 Yankees in the top of the ninth. FIRE HINCH!

A young hitter going with the pitch and hitting a single to the opposite field is a glorious sight to see. That's excellent hitting...

I root very hard for John Peck to make it.

 

I've enjoyed teasing one of northern Michigan's biggest auctioneers about his "son" playing ball.
