I am—fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view—headed to the Dodgers-Cubs game this afternoon. It will be the first game Ohtani has played on the road since the allegations, so that's going to be interesting. Although I wish I could see how Benetti and Gibson get along, so I will be checking in on this thread to get a sense of that, I hope.

I hope the people on Waveland are paying attention

I'm gonna keep a trollishly close eye on what the Tigers patchwork 3rd base position bat does this season, compared to what Matt Chapman's everyday, starting 3rd base bat does, and Harris's most Avila-esque thing he's done so far imo.

You don't like Gio? He's been pretty good so far.

I dont think he's bad persay, but Chapman's significantly better imo...but hope Gio prove's me wrong.

if this was a football team, the defense would be loading bars of soap into socks pretty soon

Gio, Kelly and Canha are the best hitters on the team so far

Chapman has 7 hits, 6 rbi's and a .233 BA...he'd be the best hitter on this team 🤷‍♂️

[SoCalTiger]

We have three guys hitting under .100 and Baez is third on the team in average ( based on todays lineup only ) and we are 5-1. Ya it might not stay that way unless we start hitting.

[mtutiger]

Man, Skubal versus this lineup isn't a fair fight.

[Tigermojo]

Matty V!

[CMRivdogs]

Boom! Vierling !

"A pizza walks into the ballpark...."

[mtutiger]

Wow, TORK sucks, send him to Toledo lol

[RatkoVarda]

Skubal shoving; Tork doubling; Greene driving him home; just like Al Avila drew it up

[Shinzaki]

Three runs might be enough to win three against the A's

[IdahoBert]

Whoop whoop! Watching the game at Sid’s Garage on my son’s 22nd bday!

[Motor City Sonics]

Come on Javy...................make us all wrong about you !

[IdahoBert]

Skubal at only 60 tosses? Cool. 

[lordstanley]

Boo. A's back in the game after a 2-run homer. 3-2, still in the top of the 6th. Another potential homer just went foul.

[Motor City Sonics]

I know it's the White Sox and A's, but if Skubal stays healthy he's gonna be a Cy Young finalist.  

As soon as I type that he gives up a dinger. 

I'm sorry for jinxing him.

I know, with 8 Ks.  

[Motor City Sonics]

Tarik might be running out of gas (early in the season here).    

[Motor City Sonics]

I don't think Tarik comes out for the 7th.       He's good, eh?
