There's something we don't hear often....."Tigers leave 2"

[kdog]

some bad luck with batted balls and then issues with guys who can't make contact.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

well, that was a nice damn double play. at least we'll get to see one cool thing today.

[IdahoBert]

Was starting to look bad but a sweet DP gets us out of the inning. 

[IdahoBert]

Javier Báez singles on a fly ball to center fielder Byron Buxton. Zach McKinstry to 2nd. TIGERS ARE THREATENING…

[IdahoBert]

Nope…

But do NOT score...

[kdog]

dead last in homers...if you can't hit singles, you have to hit it out.

Black and orange jerseys today. 

they have not yet scored a run wearing the blue jerseys.

And tomorrow, I assume, will be the orange jerseys.

Are we throwing our money at them yet?

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

it was a strike by the width of one electron.

[chasfh]

Man, what an awesome strike 'em out-throw 'em out play!

[IdahoBert]

I’d be OK with Riley golfing a home run right now.

This is why I have tremendous respect for Dan Dickerson, too. He said Jake was going to lose the challenge, and then, we saw it clip the outermost pixel of the strike zone. Dan says, aw, mannn, this is why I don't like ABS, I'm sorry. The margin for error is 0.22 inches, and that ball was clearly less.

So, even though we benefited from the call, he wasn't going to pretend ABS is all well and good after all. He stuck to his principles on ABS. I don't agree with his position on it, but I respect him for sticking to his.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Riley double. almost got one out.

And again.....when will it ever end well?

[Biff Mayhem]

RISP

[IdahoBert]

It looks like we’re going to have to score more than just one run to win this game now. We might have to even hit a home run, which seems impossible, but I guess it could happen.

[Tigermojo]

I tuned in just in time for the home run. 

[Tigermojo]

I see Flaherty still has terrible control. 

[IdahoBert]

Man, this is getting tedious. Maybe I should do something better with my life.

Too many 100mph EV outs in this series.

[IdahoBert]

Jack threw a clean inning in the fifth… “just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in…”

[Tigermojo]

They are talking about forks so yeah it's looking bleak.
