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!

They walk Danger Man Tork.

Wow. After the way things started I thought this game was gonna go south quickly. Mize got out of it.

Acuna first pitch double.

Our first three batters bite the dust on only seven pitches.

I think not getting swept in this series would be a big deal.

People in Atlanta are dressed like they live in a warm climate or sumpthun!

Nice. I remember listening to other broadcasts during spring training and these know nothing commentators were saying that most likely he needed more “seasoning” at AAA. God there’s a lot of idiots out there as commentators.

The Tigers are now in sole possession - yes you heard that right sole possession – of the American League Central division with a 15-14 record because the Guardians played yesterday and lost.

Yeah, I think it makes ownership look stupid and weak. Are Red Sox fans really this entitled? I don’t want disparage the entirety of any fan base because there are always fans there who are sincere astute fans. I can’t help but think this is an over reaction by the owner.

That’s kind of sad, because the fans are idiots, unlike us because we are merely morans.

So is Boston’s firing of their manager and much of their coaching staff during the early season simply a sign of desperation rather than cogent strategic thinking? I can see wanting to “change team culture“ and everything but when all you do is generally promote people from your minor-league affiliates, it sure seems like desperation to me. Just curious what more astute observers than myself think.

I hope this day off doesn’t disrupt Torkelson’s Mojo. Maybe he’ll come out of the gate so rested he’ll hit three home runs the first game in Atlanta. 😃

9 of the 15 clubs in the AL are sub .500 teams.

Getting back to baseball, for the series in Atlanta, the starting pitching is Mize, then Skubal, and finally Framber.

I’ve noticed that Jonas hasn’t really tried to go head to head with Tadej this year. I don’t think he will ever beat Tadej again. I’m expecting Jonas to go for early retirement before too long. I’m not sure his heart is really in it anymore.

The Atlanta Braves are also the first team in baseball to reach 20 wins this year.

Good the guys finally have a day off. The series in Atlanta is going to be a real test. The Braves are hot, so hopefully the pitching can stand up to their offensive prowess and the Tigers’ hitting can escalate.

Finally, watching this game with the four run outburst in the seventh, there are a lot of Tigers fans in the ballpark which is pretty exciting. The sound and the roar of the crowd is awesome.
