I might think about that later, but not during the game. I don’t have a lot of hope that that’ll make a difference. 

It won't.

McKinstry seems none the worse for wear. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Javy RBI double! 

Or not. Dang.

Stinky was out by a lot. No question about overturning is necessary.

[chasfh]

I can't believe Benetti and Dirks pretended as though touching the runner with the end of the glove wasn't enough to overturn the safe call. That smacks of broadcast homerism, and I have no respect for that.

[IdahoBert]

On McKinstry out at home that’s a classic tigers play of being aggressive and it took a really good throw and a really good tag to get him out so it was a calculated risk. 

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

There's a force field around home, apparently. 

Or not. Sweet.

El Mago definitely avoided the tag! It should be another overturned call, this time in our favor!

[NorthWoods]

Javy safe

[NorthWoods]

For as irritating Javy can be at the plate - he does create some magic moments.

[IdahoBert]

They never touched Javy. He avoided the tag and touched home plate with his hand. That is classic pro baseball.

I'll go a step further: that slide represents the kind of baseball I have never seen a pro play.

That might be true. I’ve never seen that particular move. A perfect combination of athleticism and acumen. Almost like ballet at home plate.

[IdahoBert]

Good Jack shows up for the fourth.

The Javy play they mentioned, in case somebody never saw it;

100% agree. Giving fans hope when there was none.

Jacks inning to suck. Every game, at least one inning. Usually multiple runs allowed...

[IdahoBert]

The radio feed is now synced with the MLB.TV picture. Go figure.

I did nothing to make it happen, although it did happen immediately after the dozen cute young women wearing pink Tiers caps in the stands came on screen. I think that may have been what tipped the balance. 

[IdahoBert]

Come on Jack find a strike zone 

[Sports_Freak]

Pull Jack and bring in Anderson.

[IdahoBert]

Looks like it’ll take at least two runs to win this game now, just like last night. 

[romad1]

I wish for a massive inning in the bottom of this one. 

[romad1]

Jake is beyond due to go yard.

Remains due.
