Digging into the Mets' bullpen a bit more yesterday would have been helpful for today.  I would anticipate Verlander could be a bit rusty and/or on a pitch count given this is his first start of the season.

Who needs rehab starts.... just wait till you face the vaunted Tigers lol

I continue to really dislike Wainwright for a broad spectrum of reasons

I expect an electric afternoon down at Comerica! Seriously though if I didn't have to work Id love to be down there for this. Between the sun, Verlander and the Tigers playing better it would be a nice time to go.

From the interviews of JV and Max this week I got the Aaron Rodgers vibe of "We can't lose to this team". I am really hoping for a sweep just becasue of that!

Maton at 3B, Ibanez at 2B, McKinstry in LF.  Seems curious.

Why have we evolved to "at" for IF and "in" for OF?

Keep Schoop and Miggie on the bench ='s chance to win? 🤷‍♂️

Are there 3 people in the radio booth today?  Dickerson, Price, and sounds like a female voice.  The 3rd voice did a pregame interview with Ibanez and gave out the starting lineup (without the traditional drawn out "thiiirrrrd").

[chasfh]

Riley crushes JV with a fliner homer to right.

[Jim Cowan]

That was unexpected.

[chasfh]

And Javy crushes another JV fastball to right as well! back to back!

[Jim Cowan]

And then Javy.  9 pitches, 2 home runs.

[chasfh]

Man, JV looks gassed already.

[kdog]

4 batted balls over 100 in that inning.

She was on yesterday, too. I think her name is Daniela Bruce. I think she's in the studio, not the booth.

[SoCalTiger]

Who are these Guys but they look good !! Or are we actually facing some old guys from a Beer league !!

Sure, give her a shot, why not?

So far I like Cameron Maybin the best, but Dan's sidekick is surely too small a box to stuff his talent into. He's got the chops to go national. Same with Alex Avila, plus who knows, maybe he's sore at us over his dad.
