Finally got around watching the 7th episode of Apple TV’s THE STUDIO where Continental Studio’s team tries to come up with a movie cast that won't offend anyone for their stupid KOOL-AID product placement cash grab movie. The bad possibilities kept getting worse and God it was hilarious. Also watched last night’s 4th episode of season 2 of HBO-MAX’s THE LAST OF US. Its fidelity to the game was at times quite distinct and where it wasn’t it distilled the essence of the game. There were some very intense scenes. Some of them truly horrific. There are only going to be 7 episodes for this season while there were 9 the first season. I think there’s supposed to be one more season so they’re going to have to collapse a lot of action into three more episodes this year to get to the halfway point of the second game, and however many more it takes to finish the story.

According to my Yahoo weather app, it will be raining all day tomorrow at least during game time. I am preparing for a doubleheader the next day.

Riley Green is the American League player of the week thanks to his display of home run hitting prowess.

I don’t know how to quantify baseball movies to discern if one is better than another. Field of Dreams just resonates with me more deeply than others. I distrust sentimentality because it is so easily exploited by demagogues. But for me Field of Dreams transcends the narrow scar of sentimentality. For me, it’s a recollection of something sewn into the fabric of my childhood that intersects with something deeper and more vibrant than myself. I like being reacquainted with that spring-like purity as often as I can. Other films don’t do that for me, and they are no less worthy of enjoyment because of it. Field of Dreams just makes all eight of my cylinders fire in the perfect sequence. To me it’s like Music.

This is very insightful, thank you.

Best record in AL Best DIFF in MLB

A home run to center field there should come with a participation ribbon and a juice box.

Whose bright idea resulted in a 396ft. centerfield fence? That’s cruelty to pitchers.

20 HRs in the last 7 games.

So does this make up for last night?

4-3 road trip trip so far.

Will Vest has entered the stadium.

Colt Keith singles then Javy doubles. Colt doesn’t want to go to Toledo. Sweeney now 6 RBI. Lucky 13.

When is Cleveland’s crappy run diff going to bring them crashing down?

I’m seeing Thunderbolts tonight. I’m looking forward to it.

So is Torres genuinely hurt or did they just bat Ibanez for him just because?

Dan says it looks like Tuesday’s game in Denver will be rained out. So the guys will have two days off.

Right now, the Tigers are tied with the Cubs for the largest positive run differential in MLB with +62.

Trey Sweeney homers (3) on a fly ball to right field. Colt Keith scores. Javier Báez scores.

Kerry Carpenter homers (8) on a fly ball to center field. Javier Báez scores. Tomás Nido scores.

But really, where in the sam heck are my six runs! That would’ve been enough last night!

When I go someplace where ordinary people are talking about the Tigers the experience is depressingly facile. We are the citadel of the saved compared to places like that. 21 years of rubbing shoulders with people who actually know stuff makes Hooterville hard to endure.
