Tell me that isn't an instant reminder of certain trade decisions that impact Detroit and metro area including across the river.

They should put cardboard cut outs in there like they did for televised games during Covid, or maybe they could get a series of those crash test dummies, a gaggle of Busters, like MythBusters used to have.

Dirks is really good.  He's the best color guy they've had since Rod Allen  (Sorry, I liked Rod Allen, he entertained me, made me laugh a little).

[IdahoBert]

Well, now they’re at six runs I’m not allowed to post anymore. See you all.

[monkeytargets39]

Say what you want, but Javy has only struck out once so far this year

I’m sure they’re sold. It’s just that everyone you don’t see in them is inside the nice warm club nibbling on swell food and drinking top shelf drinks.

Just as with so many other organizations, the Tigers ae targeting super high net worth individuals and companies at the cost of the terrible optics of all those empty seats on showing up on TV.

Interviewing Paws is a lot more pleasing than the hearing from Insurance executives

As of a week ago they weren't according to this.

I am frankly surprised that Holton is being brought in to the middle of games versus toward the end. I thought he had a good shot at the closer’s role after last season’s efforts.

[chasfh]

Holy shirt, Riley!

[monkeytargets39]

So not only do we have tons of empty seats besides home plate, but we gotta have a Pepsi ad imposed over the batters eye in CF.

[romad1]

Riri!

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

holy balls did Riley crush that!

[monkeytargets39]

Shep would’ve waited to figure out if that was a HR before announcing anything

[romad1]

This is a different Torkelson.  He just seems so much more dynamic and confident.  Good thing I'm not gay...

[romad1]

C. Keith...good!

[romad1]

appropriate image for Torkelson despite the K

Gotta give it to the schedule makers. Yeah, starting in LA was tough but getting the WSox for opening day in Detroit makes up for it.
