The Tigers just became the first team in Major League HISTORY to win 59 games in 2025.

Dingler gets dinged in the dinger.

Wow, that's a Tony Conigliaro situation without the helmet

A very dumb play by Harvey. Come on man.

Relieves him. You could never replace a Tyler Holton. Just like you could never replace an Idaho Bert. There can be only one.

Rollo Tamassi

One away from a Bert.

With the Tigers having 3 (likely 4) starters, there was virtually no way they were getting any reserves. But if someone drops out due to injury, McKinstry should be considered. Shows how dumb we all are. Almost all of us wanted McKinstry and Baez gone.

LOL. Same time !

Wow. He hit that ball like he hated it.

For an old guy who's destroyed his body and has Parkinson's, I thought he sounded pretty good actually. Look, I am not a metal fan by any stretch, but I can appreciate the weight of that night. I thought he gave all he had left and the worst thing he and Sharon could do now is decide that they could get away with sending him out there for more shows. Please resist. Dude went out on as high a note as you could expect. Leave it be.

Not much of a Black Sabbath or Ozzy fan here, but I guess it was a triumphant night for their last show and I wouldn't be shocked at all if Ozzy shuffled off this mortal coil in the next few days.

Look at that. Matty V is on. Two are on for Riley and Riley is due !
-
Because they have the best record in the American League and have more experience than any of us.
-
Get Riley up with two on and let Riley work Come on, Matty V
-
Two things 1 - No Hitter Alert today. Skubal's near-death experience yesterday will bring out his best 2- Riley's been quiet the last few games. He's about to 'splode.

Very good pitching performance by Logan Allen, but not good enough !

12.5 over Minny 14 over Cle 14 over KC

LOL. That was awesome !

Hi. The A's situation has been settled. The Rays will soon be settled (I think they're headed to Orlando)l So that means baseball expansion can move forward for the first time in about 30 years and actually if baseball were to expand (more about when than if), it probably won't be until the 2027 cba is resolved. So let's say they decide to expand in 2028. It would take at least a year to figure out where and probably 3 yeears, at best, to move forward, so we're talking 2032, at the earliest. Now where. I think it's practically a foregone conclusion that Nashville is getting a MLB team. Some thought the Rays could move there, and they still could, but I am just going to automatically put Nashville as Team 1 Team 2 Places that make sense but would never be allowed to expand would be Northern New Jersey (has the population, has the money, but the Yankees, Mets and Phillies would raise hell and it won't happen). Indianapolis makes sense geographically, but the Cardinals, Reds, Cubs and White Sox would block. Realistic chances? In alphabetical order (BGH = Big Geographic Hole) Austin or San Antonio - No issues with the population or money, but would MLB want 3 Texas teams? Charlotte - A BGH. City is big enough. Plenty of money there. But are they really into baseball? Louisville - I have heard them mentioned, but if you're going to consider them, then why not Grand Rapids? Metro GR is bigger. Montreal - for sentimental reasons, but there are way too many shaky aspects about going back there. Orlando (if the Rays stay in Tampa). I have to say no, the two current teams in Florida have failed, despite having competitive teams. Portland - It seems like there is a BGH here and people have romanticized Portland as a baseball town, since baseball does have an appeal to more intellectual folks. But has minor league baseball ever thrived in Portland? Plus, the politics in Portland is a nightmare. Sacramento - Well, their audition this season with the A's is a complete disaster, but sadly, it's kind of unfair. There are a lot of OAKLAND A's fans in SacTown, and those fans are not going to pay money to see a team owned by John Fisher, and I guess the ticket prices for games is insane for a minor league team. Salt Lake City - Not the biggest population, but plenty of Mormon money there. There would be similar issues to Colorado trying to play at 4/5 of a mile. But I don't think there would a lack of enthusiasm San Jose - I could see this happening. Lots of money, lots of stat nerds and MLB is not going back to Oakland after the ugly ending to the A's, so this would make the most sense if MLB wants NoCal in the AL Vancouver - I am sure MLB loves the idea of having a second Canadian team, and Vancouver makes more sense than Montreal. If I had to rank them....... 1. Charlotte 2. Salt Lake City 3. Montreal 4. Portland 5. San Jose Then comes how to re-align. The easiest idea is four divisions of four teams in each league But radical realighment is possible too, with four regional conferences of eight teams each (Yankees/Mets and the Cubs/White Sox being in the same division), but I can't see a willingness to ditch the National and American leagues Just killing time on an idle Saturday. Waiting for the game to start tonight. And avoiding yard work in the heat.
