Chase Lee coming in Hurter to get the third out in the 6th. I really like this kid. I really hope the longevity of his stuff holds up. I wonder if batters see him a few times that after a while they’ll hit him. And they just did.

I would prefer a seeing eye single, like that one just now instead of a walk, issued by the reliever.

At least tomorrow’s an off day so they don’t have to worry about ruining the bullpen for the next series.

DP phew!

Stop throwing the ball off the plate and hoping it’ll be called a strike Morty

Zach McKinstry doubles (13) on a line drive to right fielder Josh Lowe. Wenceel Pérez scores. Spencer Torkelson to 3rd.

Perez single Riley up

Torres almost a homer but it’s a double.

Good challenge on the play at Second.

Keith doing his Brooks Robinson imitation at third.

Weird stuff happening and it’s not all attributable to Morty.

Zack named as All-Star.

Oh well. Whatever happened at least more runs didn’t score.

Yeah, I’m not sure what Tork was doing. You guys are probably right.

That’s a disappointing play by McKinstry on the rundown.

I almost switched over to that broadcast for the last inning, but the idea of pulling myself away from Johnny and Todd and the guy from Ilitch Holdings they were interviewing was too tough to bear.

If they just gave Morty a bionic pinky finger so he can throw that sinker without any problems that would be cool.

Both of my weather apps are predicting anywhere from 50% to 70% chance of rain sometime during the game. Guess we’ll see.

Todd Jones just now used the term “oppo taco“ and I almost turned off the broadcast.

I haven’t read this entire thread so if I missed this information too bad. I just wanted to know about the Erie Seawolves name change and how long or how many times they would use this name so I looked it up. The Erie SeaWolves, will not be changing its name for only one game. They are temporarily rebranding as the Erie Moon Mammoths for four games during the season: July 19, August 19, September 12, and September 13.

I don’t really care about the Home Run Derby, so since I have never watched it I had no idea there were only six guys: Ronald Acuña Jr., Cal Raleigh, James Wood, Byron Buxton, Oneil Cruz, and Junior Caminero.

With this game starting at 5:10 PM EDT this is not really a “night game“ so the Rays can still leave town at a halfway decent hour to get to their Thursday night game in Boston while also avoiding the pain incurred by both clubs for rescheduling.

<Cough cough> this is what I predicted. Even though Skubal was scheduled to pitch Saturday it makes sense to ensure that he gets an extra days rest before the All-Star game and the Tigers get the exposure on national TV that is good for them.

Someone needs to put an end all this foolishness of the Toronto Blue Jays, who have won 10 games in a row and are just as dangerous as the Astros in snatching the bye away from us. Can’t depend on boys to do a man’s job, but fortunately we face them after the end of the All-Star game for four games July 24-28.

As long as we’re winning, I don’t care if other teams in the division win since we’ve got a whale of a lead.
