  1. Matt Manning needs a solid start in a bad way. He wasn’t good at all the first time out.
  2. Not sure of what angle the cameras provided during the game but AJ and Fetter were sitting immediately outside the dugout with their chairs facing the field behind a framed net used for infield practices. They weren’t actually in the stands. We were in section 205 straight up from where they were watching the game. When the Tigers were in the field, Fetter would take a seat along side Hinch to watch the pitcher. When the Tigers were batting Fetter would give up his seat beside Hinch to an offensive coach. If I’m not mistaken, I believe it was George Lombard that sat by Hinch while the Tigers were batting (if you can call what they did today batting). This is how they did it last year as well when playing in Lakeland. Hinch & Company pretty much stay in the dugouts on road trips. Hinch is into it. He’s worth paying attention to during games, which I’ve fallen into a habit of doing. Regarding Scott Harris youthful looks, he does look very young in person. The brass will sit down in the lower section of seats immediately behind the plate. I honestly don’t think anybody even realizes who he is when he’s in the crowd. Gibby was on the road yesterday in Sarasota and managed to sit in the heat for about half the game before moving to someplace cooler. I’m surprised he traveled yesterday as there was no coverage of the game. This can’t be easy on him.
  3. Skubs followup pitch clocked at 100 up…but not in.
  4. https://www.mlb.com/news/robbie-ray-using-tarik-skubal-s-changeup-grip-for-new-pitch?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share This is a cool story. Robbie Ray reached out to Skub this offseason and asked Skub about his changeup grip/delivery and Skub responded.
  5. Ryan Miller is a native of Sarasota. Quite the homecoming.
  6. We bought two sets of 1987 baseball cards the year our son was born. I couldn’t even tell you what brand they are but I really need to dig them up and see. They’ve never been opened. Due to the number of card producers out there, I doubt the sets are worth much.
  7. Five Grapefruit League games canceled so far today.
  8. Thanks for posting. Wasn’t sure there was another option for today’s tickets other than for exchanging for future games. Happy to see we can get a refund for today’s rain out.
  9. The fact that Maeda and Mize both looked good the first time out is encouraging. Manning struggling as he did was disappointing because I know he’s aware of the expectations and has to be frustrated. As of now it looks as though tomorrow’s game may well get washed out. If the forecast is even close to being accurate, I don’t see them playing.
  10. We ran into some guy that does Tigers radio while waiting to get in to the park this morning.
  11. 6-4
  12. George Lombard is managing this game. Haven’t seen Hinch. Dombrowski, Leyland, and Scott Harris are located in the sections immediately behind the plate.
  13. Tork is going to begin his audition first game out of the box. I’d really like to see him have a really good spring for everyone’s sake. We got into the hotel here in Lakeland at 10 o’clock last night. Met a guy this morning in the breakfast area from Rochester, MI. Super nice guy. He’s come down every year for years. We talked Tiger baseball for 30 minutes. Half the enjoyment of these trips is meeting other baseball fans.
