Hi… < shuffles feet, stares at the ground, then lifts up his head and looks at other people in the room then resumes his soliloquy> my name is Bert and I’m a Tigers fan and I have invested vastly more of my psychological and emotional well being in this team than I should… And it’s been going on for years…

[Hongbit]

If Cleveland really wanted to send a message, they’d have Charles Nagy throw out the first pitch.

Really happy Hinch is deferring to defense for his lineups.

[IdahoBert]

Just got back to the little house in the mountains after a walk to see the coverage on Max and they’re talking a lot about the Yankees and Pete Rose, which for me is a tremendous yawner.

Game one is always important, but it feels like Cleveland needs a win today more than Detroit does.

If Detroit can pull this off Cleveland will have to steal one from Skubal. No easy task.

How we feelin’?

tired. it's too early for this **** (west coast).

[guy incognito]

Well, if nothing else we denied them the no-hitter…

[lordstanley]

Is TBS going to freeze the pitcher’s name into the score box the entire game? I’d rather know, now and then, who is at bat and who is on deck. 
 

 

[Tenacious D]

Get that pitch count up!

Of course, Maeda was already off the roster.  

There is not much difference between Mize and Montero.  I imagine the change has something to do with matchups.  

Expand  

It might be because Montero is a better bet as a bulk reliever than Mize.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

27 pitches. not a bad start, even without scoring.

He needs to cut that long ass lace.

[RandyMarsh]

Well atleast they made Bibee work. 

[guy incognito]

Tigers threaten but, well, you know.

[IdahoBert]

Wish that ball off of Colts bat had been seeing eye double. 

[holygoat]

Well, at least they made him work. 27 pitches is not ideal for Bibee.

[chasfh]

We made Bibee throw 27 pitches in the first inning, which normally would be considered a good thing, but it does get us closer to running into their buzzsaw bullpen. Hopefully we get them out of the first on fewer than ten pitches, get Bibee out there quickly, and he’s gassed enough to make mistakes over the plate.

Yeah assuming he always has had that I'm surprised nobody has complained about it, surely he wouldn't leave it like that unless he felt it posed some sorta distraction/deception to the batters. 

[Tigermojo]

Big damage against their starters will take their bullpen out of the equation.

[chasfh]

Man that was inches form going out for Kwan.

[IdahoBert]

Well, the no-hitter is over for both teams quickly.
