Good God, that was intense!

Missing these simple layups is annoying.

They live by the sword so they’ll die by the sword. Too bad not sad.

Fire Hinch! Why didn’t he order these guys to “hit the ball“ sooner than he did?

15-4.

Javier Báez homers (1) on a fly ball to left center field. Dillon Dingler scores.Tigers lead 3-2 in the 4th

I lived in Tucson for 13 years from 1974 to 1987 but Tucson is characteristically 10° cooler than the Phoenix Metro area and in Tucson at least, February and March were exquisite. And when I went to spring training baseball games in Tucson, it was never a hot day. But we in Tucson always lived by the motto “Phoenix sucks!” So this might still be the case and even more so now.

Right now, I’m watching the White Sox play the Dodgers at Camelback Ranch in Glendale - a facility the two teams share - and the place seats 13,000 but there’s lots and lots and lots of empty seats and the berm is sparsely populated. But in the Dodgers defense, like they need to be defended, they are playing the White Sox. I guess if they were playing another NL West team there might be more people there.

A full strength Tigers team goes against a Phillies split squad in Lakeland tomorrow February 27 with Flaherty pitching. Now, if I were a bettin’ man which I am not, I would think that the Tigers have a good chance of winning that game. Allegedly there will be a radio broadcast for the Tigers.

6-5 loss

I guess I’m OK with a tie…😚

Corey Julks out at home. Thx Joey

Corey Julks triples (1) on a fly ball to left fielder Jordan Sanchez, deflected by center fielder Reed Trimble. Let’s not end in a tie.

Carson Rucker homers (1) on a fly ball to left field. Tigers tie it 5-5.

Eduardo Valencia homers (1) on a fly ball to left center field. Max Anderson scores

If they’re in the groove when the season opens, I don’t care what happens in the spring.

Now Hanifee gives up two quick hits and even though he gets a DP the run scores from third.

Hurter gave up 4 hits and two runs in his inning just now.

I’ve noticed this on cactus league broadcasts too unless you’re listening to the money bags Dodgers. Even the camera work is bush league.

Matty gunned him down!

I guess no tigers radio feed. Can’t trust mlb.com to give us correct information the day before.

This sounds like at least some good news. Glad to hear it.

By the way, the Thursday afternoon February 26 game of the Tigers @ Orioles will have an Orioles TV broadcast and a Tigers WXYT-1270 radio broadcast. Montero is the starting pitcher.

Nick Castellanos is playing first base today in the February 25 game in Peoria in cactus league competition with the Padres vs. the Angels. Apparently the Padres and the Mariners share the same ballpark. A small scattered crowd is there. Pretty much no one in the stands and almost no one on the berm. And as before in a previous game I checked out in this ballpark, the camera work is strictly minor league. Nick did somehow drive a run and score a run although with no hits but I’m too lazy to look up why.
