Sometimes they show cool baseball highlights. Walk off home runs, great catches and some bloopers. The commercials? I pretty much ignore them. And you forgot to mention the lawyer commercials 😄😄

They don’t show me cool baseball highlights. What they do show me is that stupid Amazon cloud claiming that hitters bat 12% better when they tap the plate than when they don’t.

As for lawyer commercials, I don’t see those on MLB.tv, but I do see them on the RSN feed on regular TV, and I agree, they are far less than charming.

Jake doesn’t get a lot of chances at the plate anymore, so it’s hard to hold it against him that he didn’t keep the line moving this time. And in addition to catching and calling a good game, he can pitch too.

Zach made a very good catch.

There should be a class action suit against those lawyers for invading our eardrums. 😁

They were just waiting on him to get healthy and fill the temporary CF void.

Thru 5 innings and cruising.

 

Better pull Montero now and bring in Brieske.

I agree! If we want to trade Montero for three washed up relievers discarded another club, he has to be in good shape! We have all the starters we could ever hope for!

One catch doesnt make a .160 hitter a centerfielder. Even though he did charge a popup earlier and make a good catch. He really does seem to get good jumps on fly balls. Good first step..

[IdahoBert]

Torres Homer 5–0

[Dan Gilmore]

Almost to Bert.

Wow, we are so assured of winning this game now that they should bring Jones in just to show the Twinkies how confident we are.

He threw 19 pitches yesterday, so, probably not. I would guess we’d be seeing De Jesus for the 7th and 8th and Vest for the 9th.

You need to realize that the 3rd-4th string CF isn't going to be both an average/plus hitter and a plus fielder.  Vreiling is an above average (per the numbers) fielder.  

Also, Very small sample, but in his last 7 games, McKinstry has a .300/.440/.400 line for an .840 OPS.  Hopefully he is coming out of his initial funk.

[IdahoBert]

I hate these little squib hits when you’ve got two outs…

[chasfh]

Apertura de calidad. ¡Bien hecho, Sr. Montero!

[monkeytargets39]

Nice throw Jake

[IdahoBert]

Wow, Manager challenge on the play at First goes in favor of Detroit.

Yeah, hopefully. Vierling defensive numbers surprise me, in the last week I saw a ball go over his head when he got a bad jump and then a popup fall in front of him on another bad jump. I like him in RF much more.

Keith 2 run Homer
 

[monkeytargets39]

THE IMPOSSIBLE HAS HAPPENED!!!!!!!!

[chasfh]
