Crappy MLB.tv feed buffering again.

Scoob needs to “pitch to the score” like Jack did and he ended up in the Hall of Fame. He also however, had some pretty good relievers to back him up when he couldn’t go a full nine.

Our old friend and now Manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates Don Kelly was tossed yesterday when Reds slugger Eugenio Suarez checked his swing and knew he struck out and was walking back to the dugout while the first base umpire contended he hadn’t. Donnie started chirping from the dugout things like “pay attention to the game!“ And when he stepped out onto the field, he was tossed.

I hope Skubal is prepared to go nine innings.

Well, the way I see it when they get back to Detroit and it’s cold and rainy the hitting will pick back up… Oh, wait….!

Man, the wheels came off this bus pretty quick

Gleyber challenges and does not strike out in the eighth. He ends up walking.

Wow, Anderson 10 pitches no runs no hits two strikeouts. And another wise use of the ABS to humiliate the umpire.

Wow, six innings, 93 pitches, one run, nine strikeouts. This is the guy we’d hoped Mize would be.

Five innings for Casey, one run 7K’s 78 pitches. And nice to see this umpire humiliated tonight by carp.

Yes, I was getting ready to compliment him, but it is only one run…

I was going to make that joke too. It’s low lying fruit, but yeah. Ha! I’m afraid to look it up. It’s probably a really dignified name from somewhere. So I looked it up and it is. Actually, it’s a pretty noble name. It’s like right out of the Mandalorian. “Germanic roots, originating in regions like Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. It is believed to be a topographical name derived from the Middle High German word "pfad," meaning "path" or "way,"

5-0 Tigers. I was dubbing my Doc Martens just now. My hands were greasy. This is fun. The game is fun.

Mize loads the bases but get out of it with a K in the bottom of the second.

mlb.com buffered really bad for me just now regardless of my 796 MB per second.

Gee, that’s two weak innings in a row for Tigers hitters.

Doing great now

This ump is going on Santa’s naughty list for not knowing the strike zone.

So the game begins at 9:40 PM EDT which probably means there won’t be a pregame until 9:30 PM EDT because Detroit Sportsnet is operating on a shoe string. Oh well, a lot of it is time wasting BS anyway.

Oh, I don’t think winning is everything… It’s how you play the game… BS

Carp down to the 7-spot in the batting order.

JV got started late due to already existing family commitments and he is old, but I’m not ready to pull the plug on him yet. But yeah, it’s a concern.

Oh boy! Mize! Hope it works out.
