If they keep this up, I’m going to miss the beginning of the lions game.

9-1

8-1.

7-1. Thank you, Riley.

And there’s no chance the Tigers are leaving Detroit. Heads would roll. It would be like the French Revolution and the perpetrators would end up on the guillotine.

6-1

Parker makes it 5-1

The Tigers have been in the 3 million range six times in the last 15 years but they’ve been about half that much since they have stunk.

My understanding, although I have the understanding of a 10-year-old as well, is that the introduction of the automatic ball strike system in AAA has inflated offensive numbers but I don’t know how to explain that precisely. Also, the tigers pay specific attention to aspects of a hurlers arsenal that can be better utilized with their own genius like coaching interventions. And I am really stretching here to make this point.

I’ve been so focused on the Tigers I didn’t even realize that was in play but aside from not liking no-hitters in general, because I expect them to ruin a pitcher’s arm, it’s hard to take a group effort no-hitter, seriously. In addition to strikeouts, I think home runs and no hitters are fascist.

Nice catch by Riley. I don’t know if he misread it and corrected his mistake so it looks more dramatic or if it was dramatic in its own right.

It’ll be interesting when the Athletics play at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. Relatively small park in a different climate with vastly smaller foul areas.

Only 36 pitches for Madden in 3 innings.

Sweeney the Great makes it 3-0.

Madden doing a Ryne Duren impression with balls so far out of the strike zone they don’t register in AtBat. Got out of the inning though.

Carp singles and it’s 2-0.

Jung doubles.

Sweeney has hit 3 home runs as a shortstop in 20 games and it took Baez 80 games to hit 6.

Trey Sweeney homers (3) on a fly ball to right field.

Aside from this basically being a pitcher’s ballpark, all three of the home plate umpires this series have made sure that if you’re within an inch or two of the strike zone it’s called a strike.

1-22 road trip for Tork.

Got out of that inning by the hair of our chinny chin chin.

I had a feeling no one was gonna catch that foul ball

Dan and Bobby keep talking about what a pitchers ballpark it is and how hard it is to hit home runs at the Colosseum but somehow the bash brothers figured out how to do it. I wonder what they were up to?

Riley Greene takes the no-hitter off the table with a first inning single.
