I might think about that later, but not during the game. I don’t have a lot of hope that that’ll make a difference.

Jack strikes out the first two in the top of the second quite quickly

Quick eight pitch three up three down inning for Jack!

Once again on mlb.tv the radio feed is five seconds behind the TV picture. It’s almost like they don’t want you to use this option. Earlier in the the season it actually worked correctly. This is a drag.

It would be nice to see our offense hit the ground scoring runs right away tonight. I’m in the mood for a celebratory laugher, not a nailbiter.

Field has no tarp. Looks good!

In the segment recorded with tigers officials and Kevin talking, it was apparently the first time in his life he had worn a suit aside from a tux to prom.

Wow, instead of their usual 10 minutes with nothing to talk about “pregame” show for today’s Tigers game I guess the contract extension of KM is big enough news for them to begin 20 minutes sooner than usual.

Getting back to béisbol, which has incidentally been very, very good to me: McGonigle SS Torres 2B Keith DH Greene, R LF Torkelson 1B Carpenter RF McKinstry 3B Báez, J CF Rogers C

When I lived in Tucson 50 years ago I fell in with a group of former Detroiters and none of them used the N word. Over a period of 13 years until I moved - 1974 to 1987 - I don’t ever remember hearing it once. We never talked about it, I never asked them about it, and didn’t even think about it until now, but either they knew better or it just wasn’t something that was natural to them to do.

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.
