Nope.

It looks like a reasonably well attended afternoon game for April in Detroit.

Matty walks and Tork up. A 2-out Tork bomb would achieve the magic number.

The speedy Dingler beats out a throw to 1st allowing Keith to score. 3-1 Tigs.

Gameday just told me that Torre‘s bat speed is down 3.0 mph compared to last year and his bat speed was already below the major league average of 71.2 mph back then.

Score some runs!

Good Lord, the Brewers are really good at nickel and dime-ing you to death if they can’t out slug you.

It was such a luxury to get in my car after my morning walk in the foothills and hear Dan call Riley‘s 2-run home run. And we’ve got Gibby talking to Dan. And, actually, the obscuring fetish of a no-hitter is now over which is good.

And…. and… the Tigers will score 6 runs! BOO YAAAAH!!

Skubal is going to pitch a perfect game no hitter tonight on 117 pitches to strike out 16 and walk zero. You heard it here first.

Makes me wonder what else they don’t care about.

It’s still amazes me that when the reporters are asking questions in the clubhouse during the post game press conference, their audio sounds like it is routed through a 1983 Motorola DynaTAC 8000X phone that was known as “the brick.“ I had one at one of my jobs and you could break your foot if you dropped it on yourself. But this is 2026!

Burch Smith in the pen? Please no

Walk the base is loaded…

Kenley is really working to get out of this inning

Nine pitches for Kenley to get the second out… and he’s all smiles. He’s not worried one bit. I love this guy.

I still feel fortunate to have been watching the game of the Tigers against the Yankees when Hank Aguirre lofted a ball with the bases loaded and with the infield drawn in because he was the worst hitter in the world, to triple in three runs into the monuments. I could’ve read that but to see it on TV was freaking unreal, historic. As I remember, he loped around the bases because he wasn’t a particularly fast runner, go figure…

K’s the 1st batter…

Kenley Jansen has entered the building.

Six runs is not to be.

Carp HR

4–2 bottom of the eighth. You know, all it would take for the universe to be in perfect symmetry would be two more runs.

On TV by the way, not in person

I remember seeing Kaline break his arm in I think 62 or 63. He was having possibly his greatest season ever.
