Tigers (Valdez) vs Twins (Ober): 4/8/26, 6:40pm

[stringer bell]

Framber looks like he's finding it after the rocky first inning. The Twins had a bunch of lucky breaks in the first. To their credit, they took advantage.

They need to do more interviews from the Bullpen ,   Latroy is right at home there 

[Western SD Fan]

Love the interview with LaTroy Hawkins.  Hawkins' experience is possibly the best thing for the island of misfit toys that is the bullpen.  He made a career on being the most non-descript bullpen guy that just produced results wherever he went.  Kind of like they currently need in the bullpen now.

If we only knew, get Bailey a six run lead and he's golden

TD game thread went wild, as I recall.

I still got the 78 somewhere..

[stringer bell]

Can Ober really be successful as a jumbo sized right handed Jamie Moyer? There just doesn't seem to be much margin for error, but when he's on the black and gets good movement, he seems to be tough to hit.

[AceWrigley]

I'm gonna have to get a new research assistant.

[Patzky]

More please.

Did the teletypes going back and forth keep you up at night?

[Patzky]

The kick is finally good.

Heck you get me a 6 run lead and I could hold it for an inning. Guys make outs in batting practice don’t forget 😉

Framber Valdez throwing change-ups harder than Ober's fastball.

Halsey Hall had the boys and girls in an uproar.

We had a poster named "Halsey Hall" who lived in Ft. Myers a couple years ago. I wonder what happened to him.

LaTroy is great, but I see the Audra Martin interviews as pointlessly interrupting the televising of the games. I don’t think they really know how to use her effectively. Are her in-game reports really needed?

Extra point converted.

No.

[Aggies7]

Morneau, going into break: “you see Jeffers there?” 

Wonder what that was lol

[Linus]

It’s almost as if you have athletic players with a little speed you can make plays in baseball

That NY game is my fondest memory of Edouard Julien XXXXVII

[Aggies7]

Poor brooks. Just doesn’t belong there 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least the ball stayed on the field so the runner didn't advance.

 

Well... until the ground out to 3rd.

[Linus]

JFC just make a proper throw, you got all day.

Justin is hilarious. “It’s that time of the night where fly balls are more difficult”

Total ballplayer’s announcer 😂

[jaimedude]

Brooks Lee has a look that he doesn't want to be here on his face. Think he misses his buddy the  Sheriff, Paddock who is in Miami. 

[Patzky]

Nice that Ober didn't let the Lee gaffe get to him

 

[Aggies7]

I see no reason why this won’t be a 95 win team at this point

 

…..
