Motor City Sonics

Franklin Perez is coming any day now................

Sorry Casey, you didn't throw a no-hitter today, so you're gonna lose.

Maybe we can find the next Jose King, Dawell Lugo and Sergio Alcontara !

Can I bet at the Casino that the bottom 5 of the Tigers lineup won't get a hit today?

I guess we're only starting 8 today? Short is so bad that they are leaving SS blank?

It's different this time. Baseball is not on very stable ground when it comes to media rights. Baseball has turned into an Old Guy sport. Younger people just aren't all that into it anymore. The complete disconnect with Black kids is a major problem, as you see fewer Black players. The fact that little league has lost it's innocence and just turned into a cash cow now doesn't help. I think the people in charge of baseball still think it's America's Past Time. Now, it's just passed it's time and it's on the downslope now. This thing hitting the concert industry right now (Blue Dot Fever), is gonna hit baseball too. Family of four - MLB game. $400 night, probably. You don't win fans over with that. Plus you take the fact that realistically 25 out of the 30 teams have no legitimate shot at a title and the game is in trouble. I got news for ya, once the new car smell wears off in Las Vegas, that's going to be a complete disaster. But some of these baseball guys still think it's bigger than football. Some of them are dillusional. That won't help. The players union chief getting in a stupid scandal just ahead of this probably won't help. This is going to be a mess. Like the NHL season we lost. Took of year of everyone being idle to realize they need to compromise. Same thing'll happen here.

Actually 74-88. But trending the wrong way.

The Dark Cloud is that this will leave a bitter taste for all of us - and we wont have a season in 2027 to rinse it out The Silver Lining is - now they don't have to fret about keeping or trading Skubal. The question now is - Can Harris get a better haul than Avila did for J.D. and J.V. ?

Yet they make no moves with the offense. They just keep rolling the same thing out there. Maybe who they could call up wouldn't be any better, but they sure couldn't be any worse, could they? Stanford Boy had Jones batting third yesterday and Short starting in the same lineup. That's a White Flag lineup there. That's surrender. I really don't think Malgeri, Max Anderson, Jace Jung and Corey Julks could not be worse than Perez, Short and Torkelson right now. Might as well throw Vierling in that group too. This was his chance to prove something. He has failed. They've all failed.

But he was also instrumental in getting Michael Skakel tried and convicted in the murder of Martha Moxley. I think OJ was going to be found Not Guilty anyway The slo-mo chase. I remember that evening. It was a Friday. I had just moved back home frm Georgia/North Carolina. It was VERY hot that day and we were watching the chase down at the Atwarter (I think that's what it was called over by East Jefferson). The end of the chase and aftermath at his house was in the corner of the screen during an NBA finals game

Anyone wanna go get some coffee?

I think McGonigle will hit plenty of home runs -- later in his career. For a lot of guys the power comes later. Master hitting first, then add the power later.

So the injuries will be the thing the team and organization hangs this on. But what if Baez, Carpenter, Meadows don't bring them out of it? What if they continue like this? Why is it seemingly impossible to suggest parting ways with Hinch? It's not working. We had a run there for a bit, but that was pixie dust. Other than that August 2024 to June 2025 run, has this team every really been good with Hinch?

They can't keep running Tork out there. They just can't. He's a black hole.

It's all about pitching and we've been brutalized with injuries, but Mize came back very strong, Melton's pitching at Toledo now (maybe 2-3 weeks away from a start here). Skubal might be pitching by Father's Day and Old Man Justin needs it to be warm so that brittle body doesn't break down. 3 80-degree days are not enough.

It feels like when the Tigers lose, the Pistons win and since the Pistons are in a Game 7, that is the better result for me. I know there's injuries, but we can't dump some of these guys and at least TRY some other guys from Toledo? I don't know that Malgeri or Julks or Max Anderson would be improvements, but we can't try and see? Oh, but they'd have to cut guys from the 40-man. Yeah? So what?

What is Jack's ERA now.........7 ?

There's your 3 runs. This game is over. Time to cut the grass

Ben Malgeri is hitting .300 at Toledo and plays all three outfield positions better than Perez. He's not a switch-hitter but since Perez can't hit either side, why does that matter.

What the **** happened to this guy?

Jack's not waiting til the 2nd time through the lineup to suck today. Jack's just helping you realize you need to go cut the grass. Why put it off for another hour.

There, fixied it for you.

And I, for one, welcome our Sunday Afternoon games. I'd like to remind you that, as a trusted radio announcer, I can be helpful in rounding up others to protest Sunday night games.
