1776 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I was really hoping for a day game, all things considered. Definitely up for a Ty Madden start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few times you will see Dickerson get riled up is when he starts in on the lack of a league rule that getaway days are day games. Especially a monday night one at the end of a 4 game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason called it a wraparound series like it's been done before but it seems pretty strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 It’s nice that we’re not particularly playing for anything other than seeing what the kids can do. Getting to .500 is, let’s face it, not something to organize a parade over. So it’s nice just to enjoy this last bit of the season for the pure baseballishness of it.

I like to see them get hits and prevent hits in a fashion that indicates they would do it again next year enough to be gooder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does momentum carry into next season? Some say it does. Hopefully, a strong end of 2024 means good things for 2025. But, IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theroundsquare Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I've heard of the wraparound series many times, I think Dan Dickerson mentions them, and I think Ernie used to mention them, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I’m a sucker. I just shelled out an entire $22 to get the rest of the season for mlb.tv. And luckily, we’ve already played all the games with Seattle so I won’t suffer any blackouts. I do see we still have some Pacific time zone games with San Diego and Oakland on the schedule, times which I hate to endure, although for you in the Eastern Time Zone it really really sucks.

IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I also just noticed that with the three games the Tigers play in San Diego in September, there’s an off day on Tuesday inserted into the middle of the series. On that day I hope no one gets arrested for getting into a fight at a strip club or something. Or they head down to Tijuana and do something dumb that makes headlines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 When the Tigers are in San Diego on their off day and they’re walking past a strip club, I wonder if they’ll all stop and in synchronized unison do a wave and slap their asses like they’re all on second base. It would make a great TikTok video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they leave the Donkey that is dressed in a ballerina tutu alone, we won't hear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
