The thing that gets me is that if you wanted to get good relief pitchers, they might like the idea of playing half of their games in what is generally considered - rightly or wrongly - a pitcher’s ballpark. But that just doesn’t seem to happen. Maybe there just aren’t that many good relief pitchers and they’re mercurial and flame out anyway. After all, almost relief pitchers are just failed starters. (and Jansen, cruelly, is the exception of the rule). I just wish there was a real way we could buy our way out of this situation.

He’s not going away. They’re gonna do this all year until it’s obvious to everybody that it’s unworkable.

BOOOOOOOOOOO

I hate baseball…

Bottom of the ninth one run lead, razor thin…

Boy Perez wastes no time one pitch and out

Do something Tork

I went to Costco to get gas for my trip up to the mountains in Central Idaho and listened to this game on the radio. 10 gallons cost me $50. The $50 wasn’t great but being able to listen to the game on the radio and hear Detroit area ads on the radio just made me feel included. Really hope we can win this game.

29 Pitch inning for Finnegan, but got out of it.

I take it all back… All this sheer serendipity happened with two outs!

When I saw him playing in Boise when he was 17, he was really skinny which he isn’t anymore. I only saw him in one game and was unable to gauge how fast he was, but he was more adroit than anyone else on the field who were all four years older than him so the added weight may make a difference.

I hadn’t fretted about this that deeply… sigh…

Probably true. I have to admit I’m tired of waiting for Jung to break out. This is one of those situations for which there’s no easy fix within the organization right now.

I guess that’s true, although I’ve heard the manager of the Mudhens claim otherwise. I’m not sure how many chances the Tigers owe Jung. Maybe he’ll stick this time.

I don’t care who is “a prospect” or not. I just want to see the best player possible, but there are rules and protocols that need to be followed and I guess that’s what this is.

Is bet365 offering odds on who gets injured today?

McGonigle SS Torres 2B Keith 3B Greene, R LF Dingler C Carpenter RF Torkelson 1B Pérez, W CF Jung, Ja DH

Yeah, that’s a good touch of old school.

Casey hurt…

I may miss a part of this game. Before the game began I was re-watching the first episode of Apple TV’s Pluribus and now I’m really hungry for donuts. Maybe in my absence something good will happen? Good luck!
