Game Thread: Twins (Ober) @ Tigers (Faedo), 8/9/23 @ 5:40 CT

[CRF]

I think I like Perkins the best out of all the guys doing analyst work on the broadcasts. He's pretty knowledgeable and he's got a personality. He also knows not to yammer on endlessly about whatever point he's making. Morny is ok, and he knows his stuff, but his monotone voice kind of bugs me at times and he doesn't know how to shut up. Smalley is just flat out terrible. LaTroy is fair, and he also knows what he's talking about, but he needs alot more experience doing analyst work. Whadda you guys think?

I have walked to Tiger Stadium (old and new) from hotel's we were staying in numerous times.  It was great.  Especially Nemo's Bar.

Been to old Yankee, Wrigley, Fenway, etc….

Really regret having not made it to old Tiger’s stadium. What history!

Game day runs an ad between innings that includes footage of Byron Buxton sprinting through what appears to be an outfield with a baseball glove on his left hand.

Amazing what they can do with A.I.

Listening to Smally makes me want to poke my eyes out.

I agree with your assesment but I would like 'guest' color guys once in a while. Kaat, Blyleven and Tom Kelly for starters.

So like this team to look like they’re building momentum only to turn around and get swept by an awful team in Detroit.

[Aggies7]

What a dud if we can’t come back and win this game after the win streak.

[USAFChief]

Man, this DayTwah offense is just relentless.  //eyeroll

[Aggies7]

How is ober still in this game after 11 hits?

I'll lay 60-1 they don't get swept. You name the amount.

Lol, 60-1 at any amount on one game at this point?

I can’t in good faith take advantage of such an emotional reaction.

And they probably won’t get swept.  But it would be like them.  

[mrtwinsfan]

2 hits in a row ?????? 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Alright Castro! Got one back!

[RpR]

Castro once again!

You said "swept."

I'll repeat my offer. 60-1 on any amount you want. How about my $6000 against your $`100?

Umm. Twins won 1st game of the series. So the 60-1 odds was generous.

This game isn't over by a long shot, but Ober probably needs to hit the showers.

It's not over yet. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
