Might as well start this series with a win. 

And since he's already at 5 straight games, Tork might as well hit another home run to make it 6 and break the Tiger's record.

39 - accurate number of letters in his last name.

The Tigers are now in sole possession - yes you heard that right sole possession – of the American League Central division with a 15-14 record because the Guardians played yesterday and lost.

I wonder if there's betting going on whether Tork makes it 6 games in a row? Probably.

Nice. I remember listening to other broadcasts during spring training and these know nothing commentators were saying that most likely he needed more “seasoning” at AAA.  God there’s a lot of idiots out there as commentators.

People in Atlanta are dressed like they live in a warm climate or sumpthun!

[IdahoBert]

I think not getting swept in this series would be a big deal. 

[Sports_Freak]

Maybe the day off cooled Tork off? My bet is he hits one today!

A typical AA kid would need more seasoning. TBH, I also thought he probably would too. But I never saw him play or scouted him. I basically didn't know anything about him. So, I'm pleasantly surprised.

[Tenacious D]

Tork Bomb 💣 tonight?  Y or N?

Im going with “yes”

[IdahoBert]

Our first three batters bite the dust on only seven pitches. 

[IdahoBert]

Acuna first pitch double. 

[chasfh]

I have this terrible early feeling we are going to have our asses handed to us. Please, guys, prove me wrong.

[monkeytargets39]

Nice work Casey

[IdahoBert]

Wow. After the way things started I thought this game was gonna go south quickly. Mize got out of it. 

[Sports_Freak]

It's AhMizing pitching. Extend the man!!

[Tenacious D]

No shame in giving up a double to Acuna.  Felt like the walk to Olson was a bit deliberate.  

Mize growing up before our very eyes.

[IdahoBert]

They walk Danger Man Tork.
