Ramirez padding his Hall of Fame resume again tonight.  Yikes.

Why is this a day game?

[tiger2022]

I have always wondered why the Tigers have so many day games.  It seems like the aren't doing any fans a favor.  

[oblong]

They do them on Thursdays, or on getaway days during the week when it's a Wednesday.  Also if there's fireworks in Detroit.

MLB.tv goes to commercial before Vierling even made the catch. WTF

[Sports_Freak]

Dark, dark clouds rolling in. Radar looks OK though...

[Tigermojo]

Very trigger happy on the MLB.tv commercial button today.

[Sports_Freak]

How many pitches/innings on Holton stretched out for? 60 pitches...3 innings?

Don't the Tigers schedule day games for the last game of the series by default?  This one seems odd because both teams are off tomorrow and at home on Thursday.

Didn't realize tomorrow was an off day.  Yeah they traditionally do day games on getaway.

This iteration of the offense has almost no chance.

Totally different without Greene.

Not doing the players any favors, either. I’m maybe 80% certain that the Tigers have more home day games than any other team.

[Motor City Sonics]

Flaherty seen hugging teammates in the dugout yet? 

[Tigermojo]

Seems strange we don't play the Twins or Guardians anymore this season.

Remember the stretch last year when Carp, Tork and Greene were all clicking?  It was brief, but made you feel like there was something to it. Now all three are out of the lineup.  Our entire starting outfield is on the DL and our 1B is in the minors.  It’s amazing we’ve hovered around .500 as long as we have.

he has 24 total bases with the bat so far in the last 2 series against the Tigers - against 2 BB. If you don't know how to get a guy out, stop worrying about walking him.

August and September is going to be a nightmare on the sales department at Comerica if this continues. If you end 2024 with games like this, it's going to be rough on everyone. They need guys back as soon as possible.

That may be inevitable if Flaherty goes today. Say anything you want about the long term value,  but short term the odds are very high team morale goes in the tank and they stumble/bumble their way to Oct like they did in 17'  after they cleaned house.

[tiger2022]

I remember the Cubs and Tigers used to have the most day games....and the Cubs got lights hopefully, the Tigers can get some lights this century.

I just care about the hitters. The pitching attrition is baked into how I view the rest of the season.

No more Jose Ramirez this season?  That's fine.

I checked my Regal Cinema app this morning and realized I could go see ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ for the third time for only 53¢ because my monthly subscription fee covers the rest of it. I didn’t even think of a possible conflict with this game because I’ve somehow accepted that we’ve seen the best this team can offer already this year. I certainly had a lot more fun at the theater than I would’ve following this game.
