anyone have a good rationale for why Riley isn't batting behind McGonigle where he could be driving him around once in a while? Or at least 3rd if you wanted to get a RH bat between them.

Max Anderson is tearing it up at Toledo. I don't think they think his glove plays on an MLB middle IF but he'd probably do at 1st.

Years ago, when local TV ratings wars were the thing, one of the Detroit stations brought in a new crew, mostly hired from out East. The station with the people with most local depth started running commercials against them that highlighted an anchorperson representing one of the foreign imports mispronouncing Gra.tee.ot. It was a very well done takedown. In the Detroit area there are two road names that betray the foreigner - Gratiot, and for West siders 'Lahser' which the unfamiliar (including too many Detroiters actually) invariably dyslexicly read and pronounce as 'Lasher'

we have DSA candidate for Mayor in A^2. I don't agree with the DSA on very much but I'll vote for anyone against Chris Taylor. If Taylor wins the primary, Mayor will be the only R vote on my general election ballot.

I think it goes back a way in Canadian and Aussie English.

just end every critical sentence with "anode"

Reed +7 in 5 minutes on the court. 🤷‍♂️

batters 5->9 were 1 for 18. They are walking a lot but walks are a really hard way to score runs unless you hit too.

prediction:Ewing steals 3rd, scores on a sac fly... EDIT: same difference

Tigers dont' even move the runner to 3rd

Keith could have done that.

a lot to optimistic about in the pitching tonight. A lot to be depressed about with the hitting. ( I needed to write this before the BP had another chance to lose the game.)

I wonder if that was also about the on-deck circle stuff. this is a truly, truly offensively challenged team right now.

8 more guys like Kevin and that's a winning team.

MsKinstry and Short scheduled up in the 9th. Oh boy.

It was a strike, but he's got to protect there.

that AB was lost on 3-0 Tork's continuing weakness as a hitter is his refusal to protect the plate when he needs to

He can't take 3-0 with the guys behind him.

if you challenge when you don't have one it should be a penalt ball or strike.

another gift from the Mets.

Valdez is clearly tired. Time to take him out.

There are no make up calls in baseball, of course there aren't.

Terrible umpiring there - he never got his hand above his face. Meanwhile - Framber with the QS.

Unreal. Baseball gods give the Tigers two freebies in one inning and it's the Tigers be like: "We don't need no steenking luck!"

after getting a pitch clock violation gift, Tork flails at ball 4
