Ramon Urias was using a purple glove in yesterday's game. I mentioned in the game thread that I don't recall ever seeing that shade of fielding mitt.

I'm not sure this cast of characters should be offering emotional support.

I hope so. The problem with Flaherty is he can go from good to bad from inning to inning. He just seems to have that one inning that completely unravels and that's that. I may be wrong, but it seems like that was the difference between 2024 and 2025. In 2024, he might allow two runners on, but he'd limit the scoring to one run. In 2025, two runners on would lead to an elongated inning where both or more would score.

The Wemby Rules?

Bert playing hurt when it mattered most.

Deviled eggs for breakfast?

I appreciate the research. And mad props to Sister Mary Felicitous for scarring me for life with these Lenten rules. At midnight tonight, I should go cowtipping and the first one that goes down should be half turned into burgers and half turned into baseball gloves

We did! Hurray us! And when I say we/us, I mean none of us accomplished diddlyfreakingpooh to contribute to the Tigers’ win.

Didn’t they have some bad weather there yesterday? Is it from that? Or did they lose an extension cord?

Baez knocks in a run.

I think he has as well.

The wind looks ridiculous there. So he did the safe thing and played that into a near scoop.

It does have some benefits.

I like Tiger of the Day,

13 years of Catholic school taught me keep doing Lent for a bit longer just to make the school nuns happy.

Urias has a purple fielding glove? I don’t think I’ve seen a purple fielding glove.

It’s still Lent.

Oh, I wants more.

Ding Dong, this shut out’s dead!

The Tigers have been shut out for 18 innings. It’s time for this malarkey to end.

No, not saying Baez couldn’t have taken a better approach at the plate. That throw from RF made it close enough to be a play. If not for that, we’re not worried about how Baez touches the plate.

It looked like he took his eyes off of the ball and to find the base. I think he had his pitching hand up by his glove, maybe instinctively, and the ball and glove just weren’t in sync with each other.

A beautiful 70 degree Opening Day. What’s with all of the empties behind the plate?
