Tomorrow’s February 23 game has a WXYT AM radio feed featuring Skubal as the starting pitcher.

After a few minutes, the radio feed worked, but I don’t care to listen to that

According to mlb.com this game was the GEICO “free game of the day.” but there was never an available TV feed from what I can tell or even a radio feed that’s been archived so thanks for nothing mlb.com.

Allowing 4 runs instead of 20 is progress in my book

Well, I’ll miss tomorrow’s game, even though I’d love to listen to it on the radio. My best friend and I usually go on a walk on Sunday and that and lunch will take up the entire game.

Hang in there, Sue.

20-3 Yankees in the top of the ninth. FIRE HINCH!

By the way, tomorrow’s game in Lakeland will only have a Tigers radio feed; neither team will be broadcasting on TV for Sunday.

One of the things Dan Dickerson just mentioned is that with the WBC we’ll likely see a lot more of the young guys than we would have otherwise. I’m cool with that.

Max Clark has entered the game in centerfield.

Judge hits another homer off a no name pitcher. Yanks 8-2.

Fortunately, this game is not a “must win.“

Dan D. on the radio feed said that the ABS at the minor league level generated one extra walk per game. If you do that at the major league level, that will have an effect on pitching staffs in terms of the duration of outings during a game and all sorts of stuff I’m assuming.

Non roster invitee Smith with a history of arm trouble gives up a home run to Aaron Judge, which is not surprising.

Corey Julks homers (1) on a fly ball to left field.

The black Road jerseys with the orange accent are way cool.

Ball gets by the catcher throw goes into the left field McGonnigal scores.

McGonigle gets an opposite field single, and Torres follows with a single as well.

The Detroit radio feed that is going with the TV feed is about a second behind

Well, even though the TV feed says Detroit TV it’s the Yankees TV feed. I guess I’ll just have to see how Dan Dickerson’s radio feed is synchronized with the picture. I’m watching on mlb.tv.

Right now it’s 80° in Tampa and sunny. Perfect - damn perfect - for this game.

I’m not sure what “Tigers TV“ means. If it means that we get one of our own broadcasts that would be awesome. And radio as well is cool.

God bless you, Mark!

My brother-in-law who died at age 92 last year grew up in Shenandoah Pennsylvania and was a high school baseball pitcher to whom the Pittsburgh Pirates offered a contract right out of high school and I’m assuming he would’ve started in a class D league had he accepted. He declined the offer because he was smart, good at math and science, and he instead joined the US Air Force during the Korean War becoming an electronics engineer. He did this to get the G.I. bill so he could go to college and ended up working for IBM and writing code and stuff all the rest of his working life. He was an astute baseball fan, and when I went to games with him, his focus was so intense you were eveloped in his bubble of enthusiasm and perspicacity.

Bill Mazeroski died. He’s noted for his game 7 1960 World Series 9th inning walk off homer against the New York Yankees. I had both of these baseball cards when I was eight years old. But like my innocent youthfulness, they have also departed. I had already become a Tiger’s fan by the time these cards came into my possession in 1961. I knew the Yankees were the main enemy because they were always ahead of the Tigers in the standings in 1961.
