  1. Was benetti broadcasting from the bathroom there for a minute or so?
  2. Riley did not have to leave his feet for that.
  3. I think had Gleyber caught that throw, runner’s out.
  4. Tork’s was the third shoulda-been homer this series.
  5. I would guess it’s how they are assessing umps.
  6. They’re gonna know a lot better within a month, I bet.
  7. What you might be missing is that Max is not Kevin McGonigle, who has raised the bar that high for all the other prospects we will now inevitably be disappointed in when they don't rake out of the gate once they're promoted. Max is a different player with a different skill set and different timeline. I'm willing to give him that time to develop into his best baseball self.
  8. I mentioned this in the first game thread, but I am beyond thrilled with the change in graphics on the screen for Tigers telecasts. First off all, that terrible 24/7 crawl is gone, finally. Secondly, the gambling touts have, so far, been completely absent, not only from the graphics, but as drop-ins by panel, booth, and field talent as well. I was afraid that when the team signed the deal with Bet666, or whatever it's called, all the gambling angles would work their way into the broadcasts in the way they don't during other MLB-produced broadcasts. But so far, the only indication that gambling company is involved is the persistent screen bug (logo) in the upper right portion of the screen, and it's an opaque white logo that's easy to overlook or even lose in behind-the-plate crowd shots. It's even smaller than the MLB logo that runs on other ex-Main Street telecasts, which I'm totally good with, and thankfully not a full color screen bug the way they have on the new BravesVision broadcast, which sucks for their fans. The betting company partnership does make me concerned that it will survive the break with MLB maybe as soon as next year, if the team creates their own TigersVision thing brought to you by [Gambling Company], with all the touting and graphic detritus we saw with FanDuel the past few seasons. But that's for 2027 me to whine about. Twenty-twenty-six me is happy with the new state of the telecast as it stands today.
  9. You're absolutely right. Bullpen done good, too. Ten batters, one base runner via walk, seven strikeouts.
  10. Article V(C)(12) in the current CBA stipulates the following: "No Club shall be scheduled, or rescheduled if practicable, to play more than twenty consecutive dates without an open day." The rule does include a provision for rescheduling that could stretch the limit a few more days: "A rained-out game may be rescheduled to an open date in the same series, or to an open date at the end of the same series, if: (a) the open date is a road off-day for the visiting Club, and (b) the rescheduling does not result in the home team playing more than twenty-four consecutive dates without an open day."

    Britain has some great food. Of course, it all comes from south Asia.
  12. Have you shared your unique background with anyone? I would think they'd be very impressed that a staunch conservative (in the truest sense of the word) such as yourself would have abandoned the party over the fat orange bastard so quickly.
  13. I think Goldwater could have been talked into it. Ike, maybe not so much. Definitely not the Bushes. I'm 50-50 on Reagan, too.

    I might have posted this before, but even if I did, it's worth posting again.
