I bow to you. Good obscure reference.

Thank you for doing all this work. It’s really helpful.

Enns started out rocky with a home run, a wild pitch, a hit batter and ended up pitching three solid innings. Nice to see Clark and McGonigle.

We’re reaching that point in the game where guys will who will make neither club are playing and they don’t even have pictures.

Thayron Liranzo doubles on a sharp line drive to center fielder Cody Milligan. Max Clark scores. Kevin McGonigle scores. The kids are alright!

Flaherty being stretched out into the fourth, but for today at least at bat is not tabulating the number of pitches made thus far.

Tigers load the bases in the top of the third with two hit batters and a walk, but can’t score. There was a raccoon incident, however.

Must Win!

I think the MLB feed has the audio feeds messed up. First of all when the kid was playing the national anthem on the guitar there was no sound and now when you click on the TV feed, there’s no crowd noise and the announcers are describing the uniforms they’re wearing as if they were on the radio, but when you click on the radio feed, there’s crowd noise in the background so it’s kind of strange

MLBTV free game of the day for those to whom this is relevant.

When I got married almost 40 years ago and was living in Idaho, my Idaho-born wife had never traveled east and went to Chicago for a conference for work. She called me in a panic one afternoon and said that she was worried that she had asthma that she couldn’t breathe. And I had to explain the sad “facts of life“ about humidity that she had never experienced before.

I’ve lived in dry heat above 100° for the last 51 years and it’s definitely superior to 85-90° heat in stifling humidity. But sitting without shade or much wind on an aluminum bench in 100° in high dry heat, yeah that’ll take a lot out of anyone.

I didn’t realize the Braves had vacated Disney World. This link tells you why. The team had to suffer all sorts of five hour bus rides and Disney was charging $63 a seat to see the games. Braves' camp in Disney causes extra wear, move would be welcomed

Chafin faced three batters and walked all three?

Well, it’s not coming up as free for me although there are three games that are designated as such on the menu on my TV.

By the way, the Tigers at Braves game tomorrow that Flaherty’s pitching will be the MLB TV free game of the day.

Flaherty is pitching vs. Atlanta tomorrow.

Maeda. Looks like the Tigers are not taking just their B team to this game today. Torres, Greene, Tork, Carp …

He needs to face major league hitters. There is no substitute for that. Will he just work on his tan?

I haven’t heard any reports of celebratory rioting and the turning over and burning of cars in Detroit since Javy’s home run. I’m disappointed.

Yes, I think the Indians left Tucson in 1988 or so, and moved down to Florida. I lived in Tucson for 13 years and I never met a single person who considered themselves in Indians fan, so being there 50 years did not leave much of a trace amongst the populous. They also pretty much sucked almost the whole time and they didn’t give people a lot to get excited about.

When I lived in Tucson, the Indians had their spring training there but all the other teams were in Phoenix and it was a 2 1/2 hour drive and eventually Tucson lost the Indians (when they actually got good, which was a pain). Having all the teams concentrated in the Phoenix area really makes good logistic sense. A new ballpark was built in Tucson after I moved from there and it was quite a facility and the Cardinals and the White Sox shared it, but I don’t think they were there for more than a couple years.
