Considering the way that the defense can kick itself in the nuts, it might not matter if the Tigers have a pitching advantage. Its incredibly frustrating to watch poor defense, particularly on some of the more routine plays. And its not just the plays that result in errors, its stupid plays like the lack of communication between CastroW and Reyes late in the game last night. The catch was made, but essentially it was good fortune that Reyes' mitt was higher than CastroW. Had the gloves been equal height, we're probably scribbling down a two base error rather than a 3rd out in our scorebooks.

Ugh…. Ball game.

Why does Willi have a white belt on?

Candelario with a Baez there. What’s with the throws to 1B from the left side of the infield?

Ok, quick 1-2-3 here from Lange, a deuce in the top of the 9th, and Soto has time to add to his trade resume.

I guess if someone wants to suggest he’s a good CF, well,…. I just hope that person can sleep it off tomorrow.

Well, but since Guerrero was at bat, the OFs should’ve been only a few steps in front of the warning track to begin with. Not too much backpedaling required then.

I think we’re just discussing that play. I think we know the answer to what you’re asking.

Helluva throw by Springer.

Thank you for ball hogging, Bo.

That was my thinking and Petry mentioned it as well. The trajectory and angle probably weren’t easy to judge, especially considering the lack of CF time that he’s had.

Hey, he made the play. Unlike the routine throw to 1B that the prized free agent shortstop couldn’t make earlier in the game.

They keep showing shots of downtown Toronto from Toronto Island. On our recent family trip to Toronto which included a few hours on Toronto Island, we found that the clothing optional beach wasn’t too far down the beach from the clothing mandatory beach.

Willi is having a good game.

For the sake of us all, turn away from now on.

We were just in that area at the end of March and beginning of April. Alum Creek sounds familiar, but I don’t know if it’s from there or somewhere else. You’re certainly not hauling that sucker to either of the cabins we stayed at. We were between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, off of the main drag to the east about 1,000 feet higher than the main thoroughfare. Lovely scenery with the hills and all, but damn, I couldn’t drive that every day. Don’t feed the bears.

This time it counts.

On the bright side? More high draft picks? ON THE BRIGHT SIDE??? Holy freaking hyperbole.....

Is it wrong to hope Coolbaugh is one and that the Tigers’ bats go absolutely bonkers for the series?

This rebuild is like an infinity pool. Keep swimming, get nowhere.

Hey, why not. Going to need more arms to throw at the injuries and innings limits.

Hey, I think I see you on TV.
