  1. On the pregame show, the graphic says that Skubal‘s ERA is 3.08 when it’s actually 2.08. They need to fire the unpaid AI intern.
  2. It just seems too good to be true that the Tigers could sweep this series with a W tonight. They should be able to do it. They have shown every inclination and ability to do it and they blew the Red Sox away in game one and repeatedly came back last night and they have the best pitcher in baseball going for them tonight. But once again, it just seems too good to be true. How can they keep dominating and coming back without a stagger? You can’t win all the games, but there’s always hope so…
  3. Yeah, when I called them suits, I thought about that.
  4. After an article on MLB about Javy’s resurgence was an article where 17 unnamed “baseball execs” were asked a variety of questions and not a single one thought the Tigers were the best team in the AL with 13 votes going to the Yankees and four to the Red Sox. The suits are unimpressed with what the Tigers are doing. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-executives-on-teams-off-to-fast-starts-in-2025?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share
  5. I will not believe any of this until it’s confirmed on the tigers mlb.com site or by someone on Mlive with a handle like “LadiesMan69“
  6. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a bit here for a second before we get on much further here. You said something about Riley being injured?? That’s like thinking I heard in the background someone saying “Grandma hung herself out by a tree near Dad's still by the pig pen.” I want to know if the still is OK.
  7. Sometimes the body language is such that it appears that the uncoiling of motion creates a magnetic charge between the bat and the ball and a massive collision is certain.
  8. Glad we didn’t end up with someone like Anthony Santander. 190 Avg, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 28 Hits For the Blue Jays for almost $20 million a year for five years. He might hit a whole 20 home runs and drive in 65 runs this year wow. I feel bad for the Orioles fans, but the people running the franchise got what they deserved.
  9. "¡No Pasarán!" ("They Shall Not Pass!") was a rallying cry for the Republican forces during the Spanish Civil War, coined by Dolores Ibárruri, a prominent Republican politician.
  10. We should win this game because we have the best pitcher in baseball on the mound and we’re on a roll, but there’s no reason to think that the Red Sox are going to curl up and die. They kept answering last night and they are a proud team of professionals. I expect them to come out of the gate with tremendous fury like a waterspout that rises up to flatten resort homes on the Florida coast. Hopefully the Tigers have a great sea wall in Skubal and the offense will not go flat.
  11. Rightly or wrongly, and in fact, probably wrongly because we “bought Javy” it feels like daddy didn’t buy this team for us and that the team earned it. There’s a lot about this club that feels earned and not bought or given, even though it’s a corporate-owned entity that functions according to the tempos and the pulse rates of an impersonal economic machine. In the end, however, it feels miraculously personal and achieved through heavy lifting mediated by a lot of thinking and planning which has worked. What this club is doing is, I think, one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve ever had as a fan and it is exceeding all my expectations. Javy has been more or less endured than enjoyed in Detroit and witnessing this payoff now is amazing.
  12. That look on the catcher’s face of “you’re kidding me… again?“ was a priceless unmediated human response. We Tigers fans have been on the receiving end of that sharp stick poked in our own eye often enough that there is some gratification in it happening to others although I’m not exactly proud to feel this way but hey they’re competitors they’re grown-ups and the highs and the lows are a part of the game
  13. I’m sure fans of the Red Sox — and there are many great and astute fans of this team and others teams, let’s be fair — thought “wait until the Tigers play a real team and see what happens,” and we did. It is consummately fair to say that this is not a fluke.
  14. Thanks I think I’ve noticed it under construction.
  15. This is the wrong kind of six
  16. Nice collection, Riley
  17. What’s the big building on the skyline that’s all lit up and looks like something out of Tron?
  18. Yes, stop letting the Red Sox answer
  19. Stood there and admired his work
