I like those little factoids that they are referring to as the "hot corner".

Do you enjoy the sound effect?

[Tenacious D]

This is why Flaherty is so frustrating.  I think he’d be better in the pen where you have to bear down.

[IdahoBert]

Jack’s getting wild again. I do like what I presume are the drone shots of the field in the crowd. It’s actually a pretty spectacular view.

Tigers just announced that JV is on the 15 day DL for hip inflammation.  🙄

[IdahoBert]

Jack got out of that with a K. Four strikeouts and two BBs in two innings with a high pitch count though.

At least we got one more game out of him than Cobb.

Jack keeps his no-hitter and shutout intact through 2 innings.

I think the premise of a sound effect is good.  Sometimes I am multitasking with the game on TV.  So the sound effect alerts me to the nugget of trivia that they are putting on display.

[Tigermojo]

Remember at the start of the game when Dirks said Jack would have success if he didn't walk anyone? That would have been awesome. Much better for our blood pressures.

Plus two HBP

He might not get through 5 today.

Another AB where Tork should’ve sent the first pitch to the moon and instead Ks by being late on every swing

Ryne Durenesque. He’s keeping them on their toes. Keeping them off balance…

[monkeytargets39]

Keith is now hitting .417

 

considering his first two years, this is very likely the breakout year

[NorthWoods]

Keith is safe if he stays on the base.

[IdahoBert]

This aggressive base running thing is not always working today

Not with his control issues. There's nothing worse than relievers coming in and walking guys.

I would think that if his defense plays, he locks up 3B for this season.  I expect the bat to play.  McGonigle can handle SS for now.

Greene's SB is one thing.  Keith pressing for 2B after the earlier Cardinal defensive issues, I'm alright with it.

I think there’s a non-zero chance that he starts getting lots of reps at 1B if Tork doesn’t get it going

[Dan Gilmore]

With May’s high pitch count I’d normally be thinking to knock him out soon. But maybe better to keep him in since he’s been mostly crap. How good is the Cards pen?

I was diverted from watching for a few moments so I only read the outcome on gameday so there’s a really good chance you’re right.

There's that real possibility, too.

Sac Fly

Kerry Carpenter out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Victor Scott II. Kevin McGonigle scores.

A little late on the April Fool's Day revelry.
