I sense a TorkBomb

[IdahoBert]

Oh wow! I just realized that this game begins at 2:10 PM MDT for me which means I don’t have to wait all day long for it to begin. “It’s raining runs, hallelujah. It’s raining runs“ hopefully for us.

MUST WIN

MUST WIN

MUST WIN

So I just turned on my TV and of course for the second time in three days MLB.TV has logged me out apparently for no reason aside from the fact that if I leave the house and I’m connected to an ATT cellphone tower with an IP in Arizona or something and they think someone has stolen my account and I have to once again prove who the hell I am after 14 years. 

[IdahoBert]

Wow, the game starts in 15 minutes and the Tigers still don’t have a pregame show. Talk about operating on a shoe string. Are they going to make Jason go solo today?

[Tigermojo]

News flash McGonigle got a hit.

[IdahoBert]

KM leads off doing a KM sort of thing, a single to right 

[IdahoBert]

Bases loaded one out in the first. 

[IdahoBert]

I much prefer the “see ball hit ball somewhere safely” version of Tork.

No 

[IdahoBert]

Carp walks in a run. 

[IdahoBert]

And Perez hits a weak tapper to first on the first pitch. 

[monkeytargets39]

Pitcher walks Greene to load the bases

Tork: swings at the first pitch

Pitcher walks in a run

Wenceel: swings at first pitch

 

😑

[motownblues]

Their clutch hitters aren't their clutch hitters.

I heard they only have pregame during home games.

[romad1]

35 pitch inning isn’t nothing.  First run in 10 innings finally.

[Sports_Freak]

Ok Skubal, there's your run for today. Don't blow it. 😅

They can empty their BP today. Their version of Skubal is going tomorrow.

I wondered about this and had to look it up:

Yes, the Boston Red Sox yellow and blue City Connect jerseys are deeply rooted in Bostonian culture, specifically honoring the Boston Marathon and Patriots' Day weekend. The colors (yellow and light blue) match the official flag of Boston, and the stencil lettering represents the finish line on Boylston Street.

I have to admit, I really like them.
