The MLB app on my phone is annoying because it’s always informing me about what better teams are doing to stock up for their pennant runs. I really miss the days when we ran with the big dogs and got used to walloping trades and free agent signings occurring.

Not to disparage him, but hoping that Riley Greene can at least raise his batting average above .250 just isn’t the same. I’d always expected more. And getting excited about role players coming up and exceeding initial expectations just isn’t the same. It’s good but not the same. Damn.

Here's to Riley Greene getting better so this organization can trade him in a few years at the trade deadline.

I wish we played the White Sox 17 times a year like we used to. They suck. They would be easier to beat.

Let's see if Olson has made any adjustments. Guys have been sitting on his low off speed pitches his last two starts.

They just called up a top ML pitching prospect. Do you really want the Tigers to face him? The outcome is somewhat predictable.

A rookie pitcher and they’ve never seen his stuff? Even Miggy and Prince in their prime couldn’t hit a guy like that when they were on the Tigers. A whole lineup of Tiger All-Stars would be flummoxed by that. Hopefully we will only face this future Sandy Koufax once.

[IdahoBert]

Whoa! I went to put cream in my coffee and by the time I came back and after only nine pitches, the first half of the first inning is over? 

[IdahoBert]

Leadoff homer by Matt!

[Tigermojo]

Run support for Olson on the Vierling homer!

[IdahoBert]

We got our run for the game early today

[Dtrain72]

Sad that if it weren't for a guy in Veirling, who'd be a platoon player on a legit WS contender, this team could easily have 5-6 more losses.

Whoa whoa whoa...thats quite enough run support for Olson, let's not get crazy!

Is Reese's nick name "Blotchy"?    I had a college roommate who'd get those red blotches on his face whenever he would drink.   He could never lie about not drinking.

Well score 4 or 5 more. The problem is the late inning BP and the shaky defense.

Lol...my niece is the same way. But she's cute...😅

[Motor City Sonics]

He is clearly out.  Clearly

I call him Cabbage patch kid

Yeah, good one. And he looks like a 16 year old who shaves every 2 weeks. 😆

Keith's OPS is inching close to the Baez zone.

[Dtrain72]

Double whelp.
