That’s that Buck Farmer we remember!

Vierling sure can be streaky. When he’s on like this and June, he’s awesome.

Has anyone checked on McCosky?

Foley came in with 2 on in the 8th and got an inning-ending double play. Batter’s name was quite the mouthful: Christian Encarnacion-Strand. 

They said yesterday that it was the longest name in MLB history. People actually looked that up....

I’ve never seen so many different color baseball shoes as these guys wear now…on the same team. Neon this and neon that. Don’t even start on all the chains, literally, that these guys wear around their necks. The only thing that is uniform on the MLB mandated uniforms is that ugly Nike slug on the chest. 

I saw a San Diego game and thought it was a minor league game at first. They looked like clowns...

When Olson is on, he’s really on. 6 Ks and no hits in 3 1/3 innings so far. 
 

 

Throwing so many sliders concerns me. A lot of strain on his arm.

Not as much as max out fastballs...

Yeah, not a Zumaya 103 fastball. 😃

But for normal pitchers, I would think breaking balls would cause more injuries. But...I really don't know if that's true.

Reminds me of the Royals double play combo. Graffanino to Grudzielanik to Mientkiewicz

Tigers are 67-79 with 1/10 of the season left. If they split their final 16 games they would finish at 75-87. A season of 75 or 76 wins would feel about right. Have hovered close to around 10games under .500;

Today is the 55th anniversary of McLain’s 30th victory. Some good color clips within this.

Long west coast road trip left. I think 10 games? Last road trip of the season and then close out with a 6 game homestand.

I could see an 8-8 finish.
