Channelling John HIller.

Oh boy Báez up…

The behind-the-ump camera angle is terrible.

OK Foley...you got 20 minutes until kickoff. Don't waste my time...😅

Tigers pitching these 2 games was amazing. This is a powerful hitting team...

actually when there is a LH pitcher I like it because a left-center field camera doesn't give you the track of a left hand pitch at all. Which is why I like the CF camera directly behind the pitcher - though I know most people don't. Anyway, I'm going to date myself here but way waay back in the day they used the camera behind the plate a lot - maybe because the optics on the CF cameras weren't good enough.

Foley channeling Todd Jones...

Tigers need to get another pitcher behind Foley like Lange was last year. Jason not cut out for the 9th.

Oh FFS

I can't watch Foley. He goes full or close, on EVERY hitter.

Pitching and pitchers always remain a mystery. Why doesn't a guy with a power arm like Foley throw a 4 seamer when he goes to the top of the zone - he'd be way more likely to get the swing and miss. I assume it has to be because his 4 seamer must be flat as a pancake. So then back to the question - if he can throw a live two seamer, why would his be 4 seamer be 'dead'. Who knows - it's pitching mystery.

Agreed. Is he related to Todd Jones? He gives me that vibe....as the kids say these days...😅😅

Winning is fun beating the Yankees makes it even better shutting them out makes my day.

I like the Yankees old school plain lettered road jerseys. There’s a quiet dignity about them. This was also often the norm in the early 60s when I first began following baseball so I have a nostalgic affinity for this style. It’s the same style our ‘68 team wore but I like our current roadies which harken to a still earlier time. I wouldn’t be against those ‘60s roadies being worn on occasion though.

Feel free to use it. I don’t get to see many Lions games on TV although in my heart of hearts I root for them.  Because for me, “it’s all about the D…”
