I found a setting in my MLB app that has 30 second delay for scoring change or end of game alerts.  Last year I'd my watch buzzes with 2 strikes and 2 outs in the ninth.

My excuse is even worse: I have a bowling league on Thursday nights. 

Normally the game would be on in the afternoon, I would watch it, and then go bowling at night. But since it's Cy Young Skubal vs Ohtani and the world champs, the game got bumped back to a 6:10pm CT start for a national cablecast on, ironically, the football/basketball sports leader. At that exact time I will be on Western Avenue driving to the alley, with our league night starting at 6:45pm, and going through to about 9:30pm, well after the game will be over. And no way any of the TVs at the alley could be tuned to the game because, thanks to the genius of Rob Manfred, Opening Day is the same day the NCAA Sweet 16 starts, and everyone at the bowling alley has a bracket to follow.

You look like ****.  Call in the substitute bowler.

The Tigers have not announced the starting pitchers for the next two games although the Dodgers have and they are first Yamamoto, and then Sasaki.

Pitching chaos?

I would think that Flaherty taking on the team he got the ring with is a no-brainer. 

It would be wise to have Jobe and Mize start against the weak-hitting Mariners. 

How is there no game on Sunday?    What a clusterfoible.

This happens at the beginning of every season.  Some series goes Thursday through Saturday with no off days, some series goes Thursday through Sunday with a day off in there, usually a Friday for those weather sketchy home teams.

But it doesn't happen to US

It's supposed to rain all day Sunday.   What the **** are we supposed to do all day?  

Stupid Manfred.

Do your taxes.

Do your laundry.

Do a puzzle.

Play some OOTP.

Go bowling with chasf.

Empty out your spice pantry.

Check your fire alarm batteries.

Watch a movie.

Listen to a podcast you’ve never tried.

Make a quiche.

Eat a quiche (after its cooled, not out of the oven).

Put your snow thrower away for the season.

I did spring cleaning today with my new cheap next day 5am delivery one year limited warranty Bissell vacuum cleaner thanks to The Great Satan and it worked so well it could suck the paint off a Harley.

Taxes

A puzzle? What's the point. You put it together and it's over

Laundry?  I'm in radio, what's the point?

OOTP is not a substitute for real baseball.   

Can't bowl, it's a hand thing. 

My spices are on a shelf over the stove, there are 5 of them and they are already in alphabetical order 

Movies are for Winter.   

What ELSE what I do when I listen to the podcast.   

A Quiche ?  I'm a REAL man.   

I never brought my snow thrower out. Never needed it.

Keith at first, Tork at DH

This makes no sense to me.  Tork improved at 1b last year,  Keith is shaky there.   

I guess Hinch must be envisioning PH'ing for Torres against a RHP.

Yes, all of that. But also make sure to film it, add a soundtrack in the background, then edit it down to a 40-second TikTok video. If you do that entire list and still have time left over, you could even spend time with your family.

Found it! Thanks.

Hope thirty seconds is enough. I was hoping to find a setting for 60 seconds.

Man, it's as though you're hovering over me while I bowl. I do look like complete **** these days!

But, yeah, we are already down a guy and bowling a blind. Six-person team for four slots and three are gone today.

I took like a ten year break from here.

 

I assume the Adopt-A-Tiger program is no longer a thing?

You could start one if you wanted to.

Listening to 32 minutes of talking head announcers’ peppy MLB  boosterism on ESPN it is not particularly on my menu, but they will inadvertently have to talk about the Tigers.

Blacked out on mlb.tv? Damn!

I don't really mind ESPN carrying a game now and then, but selfishly, because I don't have cable, I wish they didn't have to do opening day. or at least not the Tigers' opening day.
