Post game show says this is the first time in Tigers history that 3 rookies hit a HR in the same game. I find that pretty hard to believe that it never happened in their long history but apparently it's the case.

Nice game to watch today. Nice win for the Tigers! ☺️

Perhaps, just perhaps, 'Some hope for their future.'

Rookie power!! Carpenter and Kreidler!

Who needs early first rounders via tanking!

I mean, the 1-1 pick had a pretty decent game.

Yes indeed and a walk plus could have had two more but chased out of the zone a bit but all at bats competitive

I'll admit to not even knowing who Lester is. just thought it was hella weird to have such a long interview (or much of any interview) with an opposing player's family.

Its quite possible the father has a longer interview than the player during the player's active playing career.

Stat of the day:

This season, in 24 PAs (6 games), Ohtani hit .273/.333/.773 vs the Tigers, good enough for a 199 sOPS+.  In 21 PAs (all of 1 game, but just play along), the Tigers hit .294/.429/.647 vs Ohtani, a 242 sOPS+.  Against the Tigers, Shohei giveth and he taketh away this year.

I've seen it too many times before.  I still expect nothing.

Saw a tweet that says that Ohtani has the same career OPS+ as Jeff Bagwell while having the same ERA+ as Pedro Martinez, obviously a much smaller sample but it's just mind boggling the true generational talent we are witnessing.

Now that is the stat of the day.
