I’ve had the same WTF experience, wondering how the guy got on second base so damn fast. It’s almost like it’s T-ball. Maybe in extra innings they should just have a home run derby off a Tee.

Gas up the Hindenburg and bring in reinforcements from Toledo.
-
This game sucks.
-
I was hoping that Tork would become Dave Kingman at least. 40 homers and a .220 BA. Heck.
-
Well, at least it wasn’t a triple play if you want to look on the bright side of it.

The billionaire oligarchs can do anything they want to. They instituted the pitch clock, which is good. They made the DH universal, which is OK. They don’t seem to be big on tradition. We begin extra inning games with a guy on second base now. Why not just make doubleheaders seven innings each like it was during Covid.

I hate extra innings.

Walkoff time and counting 3… 2… 1…

Heck!

Maybe the Tigers need a hypnotist, somebody with Rasputin-like presence, to encourage these guys to put some wood on the ball.
-
They struck out 15 times yesterday they are trying to achieve a new record today.

I don’t have all that much spare time on my hands.

Am I a bad person for thinking that the name Kerry Carpenter sounds like a female porn star name? Or is this already old hat? I was hardly around this site last year, so I wouldn’t know if everyone had the same idea that I had or if I’m just a bad person.

With an airship terminal attached to the new scoreboard, the Tigers can now send players to Toledo for hitting refresher courses and cut travel time from 1 hr. and 11 min. to only 22 min. (per Jason Beck)
-
8 runs and they only struck out 15 times to do it. I guess it is what it is. I don’t know what to do about it. Maybe an Abe Vigoda look-alike should walk in and announce that “Javier Baez sleeps with the fishes” and see if that rights the ship.

You think YOUR hitting sucks? Let me tell you about sucking…
-
I didn’t “like“ this because I like injuries. I was just glad you were reporting it otherwise I wouldn’t have known about it.

I watch a lot of men’s cycling on Peacock and MAX and when those guys hit the pavement going 30 to 40 mph, their thin sheen of Lycra exposes their bleeding butts. Riley’s getting off easy here.
-
Nice to win a game again, especially in the ninth-inning. Winning is the difference between milk and honey flowing through your veins or battery acid. I like milk and honey a lot more.
-
Like Zoolander, I just try to remember to suck in my cheeks.

It snowed a couple inches here today in Boise Idaho and there’s been 24 inches of snow the last two days up at the ski lodge outside of town. So now that I’m not particularly incautious about being optimistic I flew the colors today on my walk.
-
It’s a shame that Riley and Tork grew up in Saudi Arabia and are used to a warm climate. But once it heats up, so will they.

My new T-shirt arrived today. I like how it’s reminiscent of the road jerseys from the 60s.

I guess they did away with the traditional automatic off day after opening day in case there’s a rain out because I was not expecting a game tomorrow, which is kind of stupid, though, with it being Saturday.
