So, is there any evidence the Tigers are drafting players who have a greater ability to play at Comerica Park specifically? Are they not drafting 6’6” high strike out pull hitters that are better suited to playing in band box parks?

Wow. A lot of this contract stuff is over my head, but I wasn’t expecting this to happen. This crop of young bulldogs that have been taught to play the game. “the Tigers Way“ are exciting. And the fact that they - at least in the case of Kevin - have a commitment to playing in the city of Detroit is incredible.

Oh yes, that was a common phrase in northeast Indiana

Whoa. Reminds me of Indiana as a kid. Nothing will ever compare to the Palm Sunday tornadoes in 1965. In Northeast Indiana we were without power or water for three days. We suffered no damage, but the infrastructure we were connected to was completely disrupted. If we got tapwater, we were told to boil it and fortunately, we had a gas stove. We drove further north several days later and many of the small lake communities in Northeast Indiana were completely obliterated with every lake house completely demolished, and the only thing still standing was the bathroom fixtures. We drove up to Coldwater Michigan, and the devastation was honestly unspeakable. 44 people died there. Glad Detroit is relatively “safe.“

Getting back to the weather… so, have there been any tornadoes or massive flooding yet?

I had to look that up… sheesh… "I finally get a n*****, and I get the only one who can't run"

I have that book too.

I have no idea what you people are talking about when you’re talking about the fuzz and turtles.

The game also took only two hours and 18 minutes

Still, still after all this time in the post game press conference the Tigers in Detroit have the worst audio and you can never hear the question and there’s a weird echo and it’s tinny. When they’re on the road everybody else, every other organization seems to know how to do this correctly.

Tornado watch tonight until 4 AM EDT and flood watch until Friday 8 AM EDT. 🙏 <ducks>

Closing in on .500.

Jonny Kane has entered the building.

Ladies and gentlemen, Kenley Jansen has entered the building.

Now would be great for Kevin to hit a homer… But he walks that’s cool.

Be the hero, junkyard, dog!

Curse you, Bobby Witt. I don’t really mean that he’s pretty great.

Leadoff double for McKinstry in the eighth

Will Vest dealing. 3-up 3-down by striking out the side in the top of the eighth.

On mlb.tv today the synchronization of the radio feed and the picture is way off by about five seconds. It’s generally been pretty good lately. Just in case I did a hard reset by unplugging my TV booting it all back up and it made no difference.

Now it’s McLaren.

I’m totally OK if Riley golfs a HR in this particular situation

I guess what you get depends upon who’s delivering it.
