  1. A “weather delay” but no tarp on the field and it doesn’t seem to be raining. Oh well. It’s Southern Ohio. They know their area better than I do.
  2. According to Jason, the Reds are 10–0 in games decided by two or fewer run runs.
  3. Also, the Reds are 16–9 but with a -2 run differential so they probably win some close games but sort of play like they’re a .500 team. But winning is what counts, just ask the Cleveland Indians.
  4. And it’s “Hall of Fame” weekend in Cincinnati as the Reds are inducting players into their own Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame. It’s interesting to see the fans of other teams and the solemn, enthusiastic dignity of their traditions and the Reds having a much longer tradition than any AL team do have quite a lineage.
  5. I’m watching the Reds pregame show and I hadn’t realized it - but they told me - that the Tigers are in first place 14–12 in the AL Central. Cleveland gets the nod due to alphabetical order and it’s identical 14–12 record, but the Tigers have scored more runs and allowed fewer so we win!
  6. “NOBODY PUTS TORK IN A CORNER!“
  7. The post game press conference seemed to come quicker than usual. I think they’re intent on getting the heck out of town. The one thing that was the usual is once again the audio was no better than two boys stringing Campbell’s tomato soup cans by a wire between their respective homes and barking into them.
  8. I didn’t realize this was Spencer‘s first career walk off home run.
  9. 25,000 and change for a getaway afternoon game in Detroit not bad really.
  10. I was listening to this on the radio in my car and when I heard Dan’s voice shouting “it could be” I already started celebrating. The tigers should be able to score some runs in that band box in Cincinnati and it’s further south so it should be warmer too. It could be a fun series.
  11. Oh my God Spencer it’s a mob scene at home!
  12. We need Dingler to do a Dingler like thing right now.
  13. The best laid plans of mice and men…
  14. It looks like a reasonably well attended afternoon game for April in Detroit.
  15. Matty walks and Tork up. A 2-out Tork bomb would achieve the magic number.
  16. The speedy Dingler beats out a throw to 1st allowing Keith to score. 3-1 Tigs.
  17. 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.
  18. Good Lord, the Brewers are really good at nickel and dime-ing you to death if they can’t out slug you.
  19. 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.
  20. And…. and… the Tigers will score 6 runs! BOO YAAAAH!!
  21. 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.
