Skies are clearing, light breeze. It’s warm and humid in downtown Detroit. Hello again everyone. are getting ready for the last three games before the All-Star break. And man, are the Tigers going to be well represented in Atlanta. And as we talked about earlier, you couldn’t ask for a better start to the last weekend before the break than having TK Scuba on the mound. Big crowd on hand, Dan. Every time he takes the mound, we think, what are we going to see tonight that’s special? Yeah, and that’s what makes him so good. It is whatever happens to be working for him in that particular game, what isn’t working for him in that particular game and what the lineup, the oppos opposing lineup is kind of showing him and that’s the way he makes his adjustments and uh and goes on from the from there. Yeah, the read and react with him and the catcher, whoever it is, usually it’s Dylan Dingler these days. It’s fun to watch and we can’t wait every time TKO takes the mound going for his 11th win. Luis Castillo on the mound. The Mariners are the opponent. They’re coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees in New York. They had an early morning arrival. Tigers getting ready to take the field led by their ace TKO. Let’s check tonight’s starting lineups with Dan. Tonight’s starting lineups are brought to you by Comra Bank.

Leads us to our keys to the game brought to you by Bell’s Founders and Long Dr. Proudly distributed by Rave Associates. Let’s talk about the keys for the Tigers against Luis Castillo who always seems to be tough on the Tigers. Good seven inning start against them earlier this year. Yeah, he he does. And he’s changed a little bit over the last few years. He’s uh seen that four seam fast ball and sinker usage go up. So I think if you’re the Tigers, he likes to throw that four seamer at the top of the strike zone. I think you know that you’re going to get some kind of fast ball. Try to get it down in that strike zone a little bit and do damage against that fast ball. Muggy warm night 82 degrees as we get this game underway. Time weather bunch by Clean Express Auto Wash. The official car wash of the Detroit Tigers. Fast easy clean free vacuums. JP Crawford, lefty at the plate, first pitch of the game. Fast ball swing and a miss. And we are underway here at Com Park in downtown Detroit. So glad to have you along for the first of this three-game weekend series. Tigers and Mariners. First pitch of every game is brought to you by McLaren Health, the official healthcare system of the Detroit Tigers. Fast ball in hits. JP Crawford. My goodness. Hit him on the left. Hard to tell. Right wrist, right forearm. Checked his swing and hit his back left forearm. A glancing blow as he checked his swing. You know that I was just looking at comparison uh up until this point of TKO’s last year and this year. That’s one of the things that’s down. The few things that are down is hit by pitch and lo and behold the first batter he hits bases he hits. Trainer out to look at that left forearm. JP Crawford having a very good year for the Mariners. This is a Mariners team that it’s kind of two different teams and that’s because they play in the most pitcher friendly ballpark in all of baseball. Old safe goal field now T-Mobile, but it holds down runs scoring to such an extraordinary degree that their hitters, this lineup averages a full run a game more on the road and their pitchers give up a full run a game more away from home. Fast ball in Julia Rodriguez at the plate. Rodriguez not having quite the year this year or last year that he had his first two years. The offense has dropped down, but this is still an exciting dynamic young player and we know what the upside is. Change up misses up and away. Two and0. Dan talked about that ability for Scooble and usually Dylan Dingo now behind the plate. It’s that early read on what opposing teams are trying to do and then they adjust accordingly. It always feels like quite quickly. Ground ball to short. Bobbled by Bayz. Flips down to second. One relay to first. No chance at the double play once there was the bobble but that ball was smoked. Simple put out of JP Crawford at second base. The put out goes 6-4 in street Bayz Torres and Torqulson aligned behind Scooble on the infield. Yeah, I think that it it’s just that little feeling out process too. You know, TKO comes out, he wants to find out exactly what he has. But I just think after that that game that we saw him against the Twins where I mean that change up was just dynamic. He made an in-game adjustment and that’s what led to that great change up. This is a fascinating matchup. Cal Raleigh at the plate. Big swing and miss on 97 middle. Cal Raleigh when he puts that first pitch in play has hit 12 home runs in 49 at bats. He swung and missed at the first offering from school boy. He challenged him middle now swinging a soft ground ball to third base. Fielded by McKinry down to Torres one. Don’t have to hurry. Flip it to post. How about that hit batter fell behind two and0. Three pitches later, the inning is over. 543. Inning ending double play. Raleigh with 36 home runs bounces into the double play. We go to the bottom of the first inning. Scoreless. This is the home of Detroit Tuckers baseball presented by Meer. No matter what your sport, you win with energy efficiency tips from DTE.

It may go Our first inning today is brought to you by Rocket Mortgage on the Dream. Nice quick first inning for Derek Scubble. Now the Tigers get ready to base. The 32-year-old from Bonnie in the Dominican Republic, Luis Castillo making his 19th start of the year. Yeah, Luis Castillo is coming off a really good outing his last time out where he pitched seven strong innings allowing just two hits. Fast ball up and away. Cole Keith in the leadoff spot. Torres and Perez to follow here in the first. And in those in those seven innings, no walks with eight strikeouts. And he’s only given up one run in his last two starts over 13 innings. Fast ball. Oh my. Way off the plate inside and a called strike by James Hoy. That was two balls with off the plate in. That’s right where Hoy is set up. That’s a unusual big miss. The 1-1 swinging a tap foul, but that that leads to a swing like that on a change up diving down and away. Yeah, that’s that pitch that Luis Castillo used to throw a lot to left-handed hitters. Still throws it a good amount in that down and away with two strikes, but just has seen that sinker fastball combination up. Change up. Grabs the outside corner on the black. Paul Keith takes a call. Third strike. He’s been absolutely so consistent and hitting at a 320 clip for 37 games. Now that brings up Glaver Torres. Well, Luis Castillo just always tough on the Tigers. Only one and four in his six career starts, but got to him one time a few years ago. The other five starts he’s allowed three runs twice, two runs once, and one run also twice. Torres swings and misses. He’s very durable, too, Dan. You know, 25 or more starts the last six seasons. threetime allstar. It’s a really tough at bat for a righty, isn’t it, Dan? Fast ball strike. So, we really look to the lefties tonight because they’re the only ones doing any damage against him this year. Yep. The batting average is is down. OPS is down for right-handers. Torres digs in hitting 273. Fast ball up. One ball, two strikes. Reno Perez is waiting on deck. Yeah, there’s those three for seam fast balls at the top of the zone to the right-hander and see if he goes to that slider down and away to Glabber Torres. A one-two fast ball up and away. That was a very worrisome first call on the four seam fast into KE for a strike. If he gets that much off the plate, look out. Could be a long night. The numbers overall for Luis Castillo, what a fine fine career he is having. the one-two swinging a slicing foul out of play. The two- two fouled out of play. Torres will see at least six pitches in this trip to the plate because that’s what he does. And just everyone has been a fast ball. The last one was a sinker. Tried to run it in on the hands after four consecutive forcing fast balls on the outside part of the plate. Says, “All right, he’s leaning out over the plate. I think I’ll keep him honest and try to come inside.” That was fouled off. The two- two again swinging a foul out of play. That’s a battle. 96 powered him in. Fouled it out of play. Right-handed batters at 220 with no power. He doesn’t walk righties. Lefties have hit 250 with some power and he walks lefties at a much higher clip. The pitch. Good take. 86 mph. Slider is low and outside. Three and two. Yeah. Well spotted by Castillo and I think labor just said, you know, eventually that slider’s got to be coming eventually and so he’s kind of looking out for it and that’s why I think he was able to lay off the 3-2 off the plate and in that’s a terrific trip to the plate for Clay Torres. He sees eight pitches falls behind 02. Isn’t that what he’s been doing all year long and why he is such a pain on opposing starting pitchers? You got to face that four times every game. I mean, that’s the ninth walk, Dan. The ninth walk that Castillo has issued to a right-handed batter this year in more than 220 trips to the plate. Swinging a foul straight back. 96 in. It’s a live right arm. You notice that the strikeouts are down a little bit this year, but if you look at the swing and miss, it’s only down a tick. He’s still going to fill up the strike zone. The biggest difference the last two years, Dan, and again, he’s had good seasons. Lefties have started to have a big edge against him. That’s why we’re looking to these lefties tonight. Swinging a miss, fast ball right at the belt once Perez digs in, hitting 256 with seven home runs in the early going for him. Lefties have done damage against the four seam fast ball and they see a lot of them. fast ball up and away. He’ll throw change up sliders and sinkers to lefties, but it’s a lot of forseam fast balls. And and I just remember when he was pitching for the Reds, he he was using that change up a a lot more almost like he he attacked Colt Keith with off the plate and in. Slider misses down and in. Two balls, two strikes. That two good takes on his last two sliders by Torres and now Perez. Yeah, if he’s not throwing that change up as an outfit pitch to the left-handed hitters, he’ll try to throw it to the back foot, the slider to the back foot of left-handers. Swinging a high popup down the left field line. Long run for Arosa, but that will get safely into the seats. That was well down the line, shy of home run distance. So 22 on Win Perez. Tigers come into this game with a record of 59 and 35. as Seattle’s had a wildly up and down season. They are 48 and 45. To give you a feel for how their season has gone, they finished their home stand by shutting out the Pirates in a three-game sweep in every game. Then went to New York and got swept by the Yankees and gave up 25 runs. Right. Torres edges off of First Castile’s doing a better job paying attention to the running game this year. 2-2 ground ball to second base. Easy double play opportunity. Palano to Crawford over to Solano at first. Each inning ends with a 463 double play or the Tigers case a 543 double play. Double play ends both half innings. We head to the second inning scoreless in Detroit. First of three Tigers and Mariners of the Detroit Tiger. Take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following. I really don’t know what to say. I’m just uh so happy I gave something. These people cheer. We all did. I mean, it was a great game. Both teams played incredible. It was a great game.

There’s a guy who want the bats have come alive. We’re just playing power ball. This place doesn’t know what these teams are. The show continues game. No score. We go to the top of the second inning. Second inning brought by the Michigan Lottery. Introducing the new Tigers instant game pull tab two online games. Today’s game brought to part by Northville Lumber, the official lumber yard of the Detroit Tigers radio network. A Rosarena Garver Palano for the Mariners in the second inning. Tigers in their City Connect uniforms. First pitch fast ball to a Rose Arena having a very good year. Strike on the outside part of the plate. Rose hitting it’s only 247. Remember that’s kind of league average now. Swinging a soft ground ball to short. Biles will charge. Stick that glove out. Flip it over to first. Little casual. Old Torlson. But he makes the tag over Rose Arena. One up and one down. But Terry Schools going right after these guys. And we always watch early. Dan, are they are they in swing mode? And I would say right now they’re swinging early in the count. Yeah. I mean I don’t know if it’s swing mode, but he likes that. He likes that. He likes that. But I I mean think you you better be you’d only get so many shots at him. First pitch slider strike. That’s why first pitch strikes are so important, isn’t it, Dan? You know, I I mean because again he he wants to get he can’t wait to get to two strikes. Garver swings at a 96 mph fast falls it out of fouls it out of play and quickly ahead. No balls in two strikes because he likes strikeouts, you know, and and he’ll be the first one to say it. So the the best way to get there is get the two strikes as quickly as I possibly can. The O2 fast ball 98 rides up and away. Yeah, he wasn’t happy either. Just again making one of those little adjustments to his delivery. The one two change up in the dirt. Yeah, it was just that I asked him about that game that we did against the Twins where his change up was just unhitable and it was just speeding up his front side a little bit to quicken up his arm. Garver swings and misses. Wow. Change up wipes out Garver for a strikeout for Scuba. And that’s was it exactly right there. The previous change up was kind of a sailor and so that’s what he was saying by just got a little bit lazy with that front side. dragged it so you could I mean you can’t really see it but you know he he he made that adjustment you know like ah you know what my front side is just getting lazy I’ve got to bust that right glove through the zone and it quickens up my arm swinging a foul it’s so fast you don’t really notice it I love his delivery I love the big leg swing and the leg kick but that front arm throwing it up is a big deal isn’t it so quick and I mean it’s just you’re throwing that glove and the hitters ‘s face. The strike one swing in a tap foul, but that’s a big part of his delivery, isn’t it? You know, I remember it when he first was up, he was almost tilting way back, you know, when he threw that up. The glove is still up now, but he’s not tilting back as far. He’s more upright, so he can get down and through it down the mound quicker instead of almost like throwing uphill. No balls in two strikes on a switch hitter, Jorge Palano. Oh, he takes a pitch that bounces. But it is interesting the Tigers have been talking about that with Carlos Fernandez. Instead of the lead arm coming out kind of waist high, throw that glove up and then it kind of gets you on the right line to home plate and there’s just more life, right? It’s almost like a target if you think about it. That glove is kind of like, hey, that’s where I want my arm to follow. Check swing and a change up away. Alano laid off. He’s having a good year. two balls, two strikes, but it’s kind of one of the signature features of his windup and it just again there’s so many good pieces to it. So impressive swinging a soft ground ball foul down the first baseline. You know, in that last start against Cleveland, I remember it was late in the game and he was getting ready to put the Guardians away and you could see he was he was out of gas. I mean, he was getting to the end of his outing and he wanted to empty the tank and he made a mistake with a change up and it was almost like I am not going to get beat with with a change up cuz I I’m out of gas. And he reached back and threw a fast ball right by the hitter swinging a foul out of play. 99 up in a way to the veteran Jorge Palano, you know, so just the way that he is able to make quick adjustments, you know, not well two innings later, three innings later and then you’re in trouble. I mean, it’s pitch to pitch. Oo, that didn’t feel right. I got to make an adjustment. Two two swing and a foul to the top of the screen. And that’s the kind of thing he was talking about in Seattle earlier this year when he was talking about I have to be okay with where I am now in terms of that I don’t have to have major improvements, but he is always trying to work to refine his delivery or refine something to get better. And I think that’s one of the big improvements from a year ago or as his career advances. The ability to make the change on the fly. 2-2 and swing a line drive. Base hit into left over JavaS’s head. Fielded on a few skips by Riley Green. Pretty good at bat. Palano’s better as a left-handed batter. As a righty, solid single into left in an eight pitch battle. That’s one of those ones that TK appreciates. Of course, he doesn’t appreciate the single, but he likes that competition. you know, when when he’s got to really battle somebody and Blanco didn’t have that great year last year, but having more, I think, of a year that the Mariners expected when they picked him up from the Twins. Donovan Solano picked up by Seattle in the off season because this guy can just flat out hit and he is not hitting for the Mariners. First pitch change up misses high and tight. need him to be able to hit lefties and he’s hit 200 with absolutely no power in his 76 at bats against lefties. Ground ball fouled on the third baseline hitting 246 overall but it is a quiet 246 for a guy who’s hit 280 in his career. Again, this is a a Mariners offense that is dangerous away from their home ballpark. average under four runs a game at home. Five runs a game on the road. Tigers took two out of three from the Mariners Seattle back in March, the second series of the year. Took two last year went five and one against the Mariners. The 1-1 swinging a line foul right off the tarp down the right field line. Sun has been ducking in and out of the clouds here at Com Park. Shadows can certainly be an issue, but feels like there are enough clouds around right now that the sunshine and shadow issue is not right now an issue for those guys at the plate. Solano behind one and two. Scuba working toward the third base side. The one two is swinging a fly ball into center field and that’s going to be under the glove of a diving Parker Meadows and that’s trouble. My goodness, that’s all the way to the wall and straightaway center. Melano will score and Solano will end up on third. That was a rare indecisive charge in by Parker Meadows. It was hesitation and then he didn’t dive for the ball. Full out and then it went under his glove and he knew he’d made a mistake and it’s one- nothing Seattle. Yeah, you just don’t see that from Parker Meadows. It’s like you just expected every one of those to get caught and just under his glove and it was just so far for Wel to get over to center field to try to get and run that that ball down but able to hold Solano to three bases. Dylan Moore will pop this one up into right field once a Perez a couple of steps to his right makes the catch. A triple on a misplay and the Mariners take the lead. We go to the bottom of the second inning. One- nothing Seattle. This is the home of Detroit Tigers baseball. Take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following.

If six hitters, Green Torlson, and McKinstry, it’s time for dollars on deck. If Spencer Tolson gets a hit, this North Lumber will donate to Detroit Blackbusters. North Lumber’s Michigan’s number one Trex Theater injury report is brought to you by McLaren Health. the official health care system of the Detroit Tigers. It’s injuries and or well, what’s the best way to describe it? Don’t want to pitch that has gotten the Tigers two additional Allstars this year. Kylie Green takes first pitch, strike one. Torlson at the plate. Pitch off the plate and in Jeremy Pena injured. That gets Zack McKinstry to the All-Star team. As AJ Hinch said today, uh, Erin Boon’s gonna be very happy to have him on his roster. Absolutely. Yes. Solves all kinds of issues. Green swings a line drive into center field. Little jam job. Line drive will drop for a base hit. Doesn’t matter how hard you hit a line drive, they tend to fall in. Soft line drive. Lead off single for Riley Green. And then AC Makes the All-Star team. It’s official today. He found out his manager called him last night said, “What are your plans for the All-Star break say case was wondering what the heck I was calling and checking on my plans for I’m going to Tampa. Can you make a stop in Atlanta and said you could feel the smile right through the phone tolson betting first pitch fast ball strike at the knees?” I I’d love hearing those stories, too, because I I don’t think there it could be anybody better than the way HJ does those kind of things and the way he told Zack McKinstry. The way he tells a player if he’s made the opening day roster out of spring training. He appreciates the moment always, doesn’t he? Change up misses in oneonone on Torlson. One- nothing Mariners are in the second. Esta got a ground ball double play turned behind him in the first inning. It’s an average number of ground balls turn double plays turned behind him. Basketball out of third for a called strike to make it one and two. Tigers have six allars now. Horz green Bayz voted in. Scubble starting tonight has a really really good chance you would think to be the opening or the all-star game starter. Fast ball up and in. Zack McKinstry, Casey Mai. That’s six. Just the fourth time in franchise history they’ve had as many as six allstars. Last time was 2013. Before that, couple of teams you might have heard of. 84 85 Tigers. Fast ball in three and one on tour. A partner was on that 85 all-star team. Yeah, it was uh it’s very nice when you go with a bunch of your teammates too. I can only imagine what that was a good group you went with. It sure was. And uh and that’s that’s what makes it kind of not kind of very very special when you’re surrounded by guys that you know you’ve won a championship with and you’re trying to win another one with ground ball softly to short. This is trouble because that’s Crawford down to Palano. Back to first. Another double play. This time a 643 double play. Two outs. Base is empty. walk in the first inning. Torres is erased. Green singles to start the second. Double play off the bat of Spencer Jkelson. You know, just we were talking about AJ and just, you know, he’s all about the players, too. And I know they’ve got to rearrange the rotation a little bit to have TK pitch tonight to line him up better to start that game. McKinstry takes a fast ball high and tight again. Castile will pound lefties with a forseam fast ball. mix the other pitches in. Slider change and sinker fast ball middle for a called strike. Yeah, there were there were many layers to this swapping the flip-flopping of right Scubble and Mai today and tomorrow, but not the least of it was the consideration that by moving him to today, he had a chance to start the All-Star game. Maybe an increased chance. Fast ball, swing, and miss. Two guys who are going to start tomorrow who could have started the All-Star game, Crochet in Freed, both said, “Uh, thanks, but no thanks. If I’m starting on Saturday, I don’t want to pitch on Tuesday.” The one two ground ball softly to first. Solano underhand flip to Castillo covering and another easy inning for Castillo and the Mariners. They head to the third. One- nothing Mariners after two on the Detroit Tigers radio network presented by Byron. As down payments get bigger. Moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921.

Tercoal gave up a kind of a fluky run last inning. Fluky because one of the best center fielders in the game, Parker Meadows, just didn’t get a great read on it. And then the late break dove. And when Parker Meadows leaves his feet for a ball, uh, he usually either gloves it or maybe rarely will block it instead of catch it, but rarely do we see him dive and miss. And he dove and completely miss. The ball went under his glove on a kind of a softline drive off the bat of Donovan Solano. Yeah, you just come to just expect him to make all of those plays. He looked very puzzled after he missed. Ben Williamson takes a slider up. Two and0. And Terrick did too. Terrick was puzzled like wow. Wait, what? Yeah, my guy. So he’s human. Ben Williamson at the plate swinging a foul. 97 up just 27 pitches through the first two innings for Scubble. Ben Williamson is a new name for us. Second round pick two years ago out of the College of William and Mary promoted a couple of guys. Guy got good bat to ball skills, not much power. You don’t want to walk him. Change up. We know Terry Scubel hates walking people period. falls behind. Well, a weak hitting ninth hitter. He’s hitting 257, but it’s a very quiet 257. The 3-1 swinging a foul out of play. It feels like you can just power him watching that swing, Dan. Yeah, I was going to say, Dan, that’s that’s three and one. And you think that, well, I should be seeing a fast ball here. I got to get off a really powerful good swing. And looked like that was by him and just very late just lucky to get a piece of it. Given his strike throwing abilities, you would think Terrick Scubal is going to throw a pitch here that Ben Williams will offer at 3-2. Swinging a chopper to short by will charge, scoop it off as Shoe Tops, throw on the grass to first. Beautiful play. Smooth and easy. Made it look easy. It wasn’t. Ben Williamson grounds out for the first out of the third inning. Again, the Tigers in their City Connect uniforms every Friday night. The midnight blue, the dominant color on the uniform. The electric blue down the center, the tire tread, block lettering, Motor City across the front in white. Numbers on the back in white along with the names. JP Crawford takes first pitch. Fast ball up and away. The Mariners in their road grays. Blue piping down the pant legs and then the emerald green jerseys. The 10 fast ball misses a little bit of lock lettering Mariners across the front in white outlined in dark blue. One- nothing Mariners. We’re in the third. Dan Dickerson, Dan Petri, glad to have you along. Beautiful warm night in downtown Detroit. Fast ball up and in. And the rare I mean rare three ball count. Two two in a row. Three ball. Three in one and three and 0. Now Crawford takes fast ball strike and he’s on the inside corner. You know, Dan, the thing of it is though is when he falls behind like this, he’s got extraordinary pitches to get back into the count at the belt with a slider. Didn’t get the call. Trick wanted that. You can see him kind of motioning into the home plate umpire like, “No, that’s that’s there.” And he’s right. Was at the belt. Homeplayed umpire James Hoy says, “Nope, that is ball four.” But most pitchers, you know, when they fall behind like that, it’s danger, you know. But Derek, he’s got so many pitches that he can rely on, but they’re they’re all really A+ pitches. First pitch, change up misses down and in. Change up locations a little bit off. There’s that cut change up that he doesn’t throw that often. And you know, he’ll make that adjustment. He’ll figure it out like, “Okay, this is what I have to do to get it to where it normally is.” Julio Rodriguez takes slide around the back door for a cold strike. Coming into this game, looking at the number of times TKO gets to 02. Last year, he finished 50 ahead of the next best pitcher in terms of how often by just raw totals he got to 02. He was 50 better than the next pitcher. Swinging a miss. And coming into this game, Dan, we’re a little past the midway point by games played. Kirk Scubble has gotten to an O2 count on 180 batters. The next closest has 150 such at bats. And that’s in 440 played appearances. So think about it. 440 played appearances coming in 180 times. He’s gotten to O2. That’s just staggering. Rodriguez wedding on a one-two. The pitch fast ball high and tight has him leaning back. Two two. And I I saw something the other day just how many three pitch strikeouts he has. And I think he’s got I I think he leads the league in three pitch strikeouts, too. Yeah. Because of that stat you just read out getting to 0 and two so often. The two swing and a miss. Change up away. Julio Rodriguez couldn’t lay off. We see that a lot, Dan. What makes that change up so special? But see, now he made that adjustment and this is that one that he has and had against the Twins on that Sunday night game that again was just getting to the strike zone and going away from the right-handed hitters. And it’s just that little bit of adjustment again that he makes that he knows that it’s cutting and I have to speed that front side up to quicken my arm up. slider toward the back door, misses to Cal Raleigh who saw a 97 mph fast ball and swung right through it his first time up. The look on Julio Rodriguez’s face is like, come on. Yeah. How do you how do you make a move? I always say whiffle ball change up cuz it is because in the same at bat, the one to Raleigh check swing. Did he go appeal to first? Yes, he did. Eric Bates goes up with the right hand. In the same at bat, Dan, he saw the cut change in off the plate. Yes. And then the pitch, the change up away and he lunges for it and he looks out at Terry Scubble like what? How? How can you throw me that? Two different ways. And I I I think it’s, you know, Dylan Dingler or whoever is catching Derek, they handle it very well. But they they’ve got to guard against, okay, which way is it going to go? And if it’s tough to catch, you know that it’s even tougher to hit. This is the dangerous Cal Raleigh at the plate. Swinging a miss. Beauty of a change up. Cal Rage’s hit 36 home runs this year. 36 home runs in just over 90 games. Two more than he hit last year in 60 more games. And it’s been consistent. It’s from the right side. It’s from the left side. teams don’t know how to pitch to this guy, you know, and he signed that big deal, you know, and then just to have this kind of year on the heels of that, it’s it makes the Mariners just look like geniuses. Waiting on the one two swing and a M got him with 99. Challenged one of the best hitters in baseball right in the middle of the plate and got the swing and miss strikeout. A walk does no harm.

Power on power and in a two- strike count, 99 beats Cal Raleigh. I just love it too because there was that respect for Cal Raleigh Raleigh because because Terrick’s probably going to be throwing to him next week. Isn’t that something? That’s right. So, he just kind of went, I’m going to compete with you, but I’m not going to give that big yell, you know, just like out of respect for uh for Cal Raleigh and the year that he’s having. That’s a very You’re right. That’s a very good chance. It’s going to be the opening battery pitcher catcher combo. 10 is fouled out of play. one and one in the All-Star game on Tuesday in Atlanta. Castile delivers a fast ball, swinging in a miss, one ball, two strikes. But, you know, you you said it too, just challenged him right down the middle with that fast ball. And if you look at Cal Raleigh’s heat map, like any hitter, I mean, they usually do a lot of damage on those pitches, but not TKO’s fast ball. very tough to do any kind of damage on it. Right-handed batters, the most effective pitch for Castillo against Freddy’s has been the four seam fast ball, the one two swinging a miss on the fast ball up and Dan he is pounding these right-handed batters with that pitch. Yep. And it’s and majority of them are up in the strike zone. And they’re really well located too. I mean to labor Torres, that one to Dylan Dingler. They’re all in that just that perfect upper left hand corner up and away from the right-handed hitter. That brings up Parker Meadows. Not much in the way of any track record. Line drive base hit into right field. More over the field on a couple of hops. Parker Meadows will turn and hold. You know, he wants to do something to help TK Scubble after his Well, it’s a misplay in center field. I just have a hard time saying that because I’m not sure I’ve ever said misplay by Parker Meadows in center field. No, you’re and you’re right about him just chopping at the bit to do so. He’s got that slider that was digging over the inner third of the plate about belt high and hammered it into right field. Dallas Castillo’s got to be on the lookout for him possibly stealing and he’s done a much better job swinging him as fast ball away. I mean that’s a foot and a half outside. Bayz at the plate swing and miss hitting 276 10 home runs. It’s just a really tough atbat for a righty last year and this swinging a foul on fast ball away and seems like he feels very comfortable just for seaming fast ball sinker’s been hit a little bit for average not necessarily for power forcing fast ball slider right now is working for him against righties middle of the infield double play depth Crawford and Palano the O2 swing in a popup shallow left field Crawford backpedaling. He’ll give away or will he know? Rosarena kept coming and Crawford made the catch. Bumped into Rosarena. Rosena gives him the thumbs up. Two outs, man on here in the third. Tiger down one nothing. You You know, Dan, I I I mean, that pitch was I I can’t believe he got to that pitch. I know it was a popup, but that thing was up by his neck at about 97 miles an hour. and you see him swing through it, but somehow he was able to get that barrel to bat for it. Well, Cole Keith is kind of the bat you look to against Castile. Swinging a fly ball softly into left field. Long run for a Rosarena. Digging, digging, digging. He’ll slide and make the catch. You could tell he was going to get there. Soft little popup. Had to run a long way, but a Rosarena tracks it down. Keith pops out. Tigers have had a base runner each inning. Castillo has really cruised to the first three. Head of the fourth inning. First of a three-game weekend series. Tigers and Mariners. One- nothing Seattle. The big hits, all the great rats.

Brought you a game by the San Bernie Law Firm. When you need the right call made, it’s 1800 call Dickerson. Dan Petri, glad to have you along for the first of this three-game weekend series. Tim Jetsky and Jenny Hornetski, our engineers for game one. Day game tomorrow, day game on Sunday. Fast ball up and away. Randy Arosena at the plate. And a couple of guys who actually better at home, which is an oddity. Change up in a way given how much of a pitcher friendly ballpark. Now, T-Mobile is guys like Julia Rodriguez much better on the road. Cal Rally has been good home and road. Those arena about the same home and road. Jerry Scribble having some pitch cal issues, but there are several batters in this lineup who are glad to be out of their home ballpark. Mitch Garver is waiting on Dick. He might be one of them. Mitch Garver is hitting 140 at home, 280 on the road and his OPS is 400 400 points higher. That’s why I think they were so surprised that they signed him. You know, they’re wait a minute. Sometime the ball just doesn’t go there. The distances aren’t anything special. It’s just cold temperatures. really the only couple of months where there’s pretty nice weather in terms of warm weather. The two pitch fastball strike the inside corner. Rosena strong numbers arguably this is having one of his best offensive seasons the overall game being able to draw a walk hit with some extra base and home run power. Rosarena swings fouls it out of play. That’s a big cut and a change up. It’s up a little bit. We’ve seen him miss a few times in recent starts with a change up, but it it doesn’t usually seem to get hit hard. No, you if if anything, it’s really poked into right field generally. The two swing in a fly ball right center. Perez waving his arms and he’s going to cut in front of Parker Meadows and make the catch way over towards center field. You don’t see Wel Perez go that far very often, especially with Meadows in center. Meadows peeled off behind him. The Tigers done a good job, especially Wel Perezing, making sure everybody knows he’s going to make the catch. Let’s pause for station identification on the Detroit Tigers radio network. Scarver at the plate takes a pitch off the plate inside. So, seven batters in a row now have seen ball one. That’s very unusual. The best strikethrower in the game. Slider misses down. Series brought to you in part by the Sam Bernstein Law Firm. When you need the right call made, it’s 1800 call. Sam two and0 now. They count on Garver struck out his first time up. Fast ball paints the black away. But when you see 14 batters in just six first pitch strikes, that’s not the norm for TK school. Good news is usually doesn’t seem to matter. Swinging a miss. I mean, it matters, but he can get back into at bats with this stuff. Exactly. That’s that’s where again, you know, somebody that throws low to mid 90s, they got to be a little trickier. You know, if you’re behind in the count like Trick Scoo, you don’t have to trick people. You can just say, “Well, you know what? Here comes 9798.” See what you can do with it. The two swing a miss. Got him with a change up. Fourth strike out for Scooble twice victimizing Garver. All on swinging. Third strikes. Mariners’s run came on a rare misplay in the second inning. Two out, space is empty. Palano soft single into left. And then Donovan Solano just really a soft single into center. Meadows kind of a late break though for the ball. Hey, he’s got closing speed. He almost always makes that catch and it just went under his glove. A rare misplay swinging a popup foul and what should have been a single with runners probably at first and second. Palano fouls it out of play. Became a triple. Palano scored easily. Solano ended up on third. Yeah, Palano started that inning off with a really good at bat. All with two outs like this situation. 01 popped in the air between home and third or by home plate. Dingler tosses the mask away, makes the catch by the on deck circle. Blanco pops out. One, two, three. Fourth inning for TK Scubble. He’s retired five in a row. Tigers bad. Bottom of the fourth inning, looking to break through against Luis Castile. One- nothing Mariners.

Cross Blue Shield ready to help one nothing. We go to the bottom of the fourth inning. First and three with the Mariners. Tigers took the season series from the Mariners last year five games to one. Two out of three earlier this year. First pitch fast ball up and away. That was the second series of the year. I was thinking we still have to go to Seattle, don’t we? Oh, no wait. We played the Mariners way back in March. Lever Torres takes fast ball outside. A heavy dose of four seam fast balls from Luis Castillo. Right-handed batters against that four seam fast this year. This is in 90 at bats have hit 120 when they put it in play. 20 96 misses. Neighbor Torres drew a walk a rare walk issued to righty by Luis Castillo first time up. This is a premium strikethrower and he’s gone to three and0 on Torres in his second trip to the plate. The three 0 swinging miss. Oh, he tried to unload on 95 at the belt. And that’s where he’s going to go with that fast ball. Yeah, good for Claver, too. And he put a big swing on it. Three and0 and just above the belt. He was just letting it all fly. Just came up empty. 3-1 swinging a miss. And then he chased another fast ball above the belt. I would think he’s going to just stay right up there. I agree. Yep. I don’t think I don’t think he’s going to go to that slider. He threw one, I believe, to Glabber Torres in that battle that he had with him back in the first inning. First base side of the rubber. Castir motion. 3-2. He lays off that. That’s terrific discipline. And I just didn’t picture him chasing for a second time in a row above the belt. And he didn’t. But a lot of guys would have just kept swinging and and it’s amazing too that Luis Castillo threw the exact same pitch. I thought he’d go to something else. But it was I mean same spot identical and he got a swing and missed on 3-1 and that one ball four. Once guys start swinging usually it’s hard for them to stop, right? Yeah. Get in swing mode. Wel Perez takes a pitch up and away. Torres stole stole four bases early this year. He hasn’t stolen many since the early days of the season. He hasn’t stolen any since the early days of the season. Again, Castillo much better holding runners this year, swinging a foul to the top of the screen. Talk about how important it is for pitchers to be part of that equation. I mean, a pop time for a catcher means nothing unless that guy in the m helps out a little bit. Statcast has many, many interesting graphics on their website. The 1-1 pitch a little bit down below the knees. That’s why I don’t always go there but because you can really get lost when you go to baseball savant but they had one of the great graphics that I’ve seen Dan for helping us all understand the 2-1 line drive base hit into right field Torres had to jump back on a ball that was in front of him so he’s only going to go to second base probably only would have gone there anyway on a 2-1 Wel Perez with a bullet into right field and it’s runners at first and second for Riley Yeah, two hitters in this inning that Luis Castillo has thrown or fallen behind in the count. Laborator worked the walk and then being behind two of one came in with that fast ball. Wentzel was waiting for it. Shot it into right. Tigers have something going here. So real quickly to finish that thought, they have a great graphic. So if you take a pop time like Dylan Dingler has 194, you have to be very precise on this. And that pitcher on the mound holds that runner by throwing over or shortening his lead by maybe holding in an extra beat. Riley Green waiting. First pitch down below the strike zone with the change up. If that batter if that runner at first base is 52 feet away from second base at the time the catcher gets it with that pop time, he’s got a 90% chance of being safe. The one swinging in a miss. If he’s three feet further away, 55 ft instead of 52, meaning the pitcher did a good job holding him over there at first, you double the caught stealing rate and add two more feet. If he’s 57 feet away instead of 52, that caught stealing goes up to 35%. Swinging a foul out of play. So, every foot matters and that’s why we talk so much about what role the pitcher has in stopping the running. It it it’s enormous. And most of the time it is just how long the pitcher takes to get rid of the ball. The one two out and away. They can do a lot of things, you know, like burying their deliveries to home, holding the ball, getting them flatfooted and everything, but if they still take their sweet time and winding up that footage, you know, that you just mentioned, it keeps creeping out there. The two- two swinging a highf fly ball left field not deep and Rosarena will drift in and toward the line and make the catch. Green flies out soft single to center his first time up that brings up Spencer Torqulson. There’s first and second to bounce into a double play his first time up. You know the pop time. you have that great pop time and you can throw what 95 down to second base and and maybe you can make some of that up, but it generally to your your point it it’s all about how quickly they get that ball receive it from the pitcher and we’re talking half of I mean hundreds of a second but if it’s a difference between 135 to home versus 15 completely different that’s several strides of that guy at first Torlson batting swinging a miss fast ball. I think a foul tip in and out of the glove of Garver. Garver’s pretty solid behind the plate. But again, to see Castillo make the improvement that he has made holding runners, stopping the running game from last year, that’s big for those guys behind the plate, Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver. Raleigh is the DH tonight. Tigers trying to get on the board. They’re trailing one- nothing in the fourth. Torres takes his lead off second. Palanco trying to shorten that lead. The second baseman the strike one swinging a fly ball down the left field line hooking and safely into the seats. Down the line came over now. Tolson behind Oall’s two strikes on a 32. Rounded out to short his first time up. Tough at bat for any righty. The pitch swinging a miss. Fast ball away. I’m very impressed with the location of that four seam fast ball. He’ll go in a little bit, but he is locating on that outer third relentlessly with accuracy. Yeah, he he threw Spencer a couple of fast balls inside. I thought they were both sinkers. One came up as a fourseam fast ball, but still had that good ride in on his hands and then started that one off the outside part of the plate. Couldn’t come up with it. Pride of Central Michigan. Zack McKinstry takes a change up down and in. Think Zach’s heard from a few people in the last few days. I would imagine so. What a neat I know Central’s been celebrating it. Congratulatory text and releases a 10 swinging a tap foul social media. It’s pretty neat. I’m sure Steve Jackson who uh was the coach up there and uh both Dietrich Ends and Zach McKinstry played for I know he was uh he was texting me during the game when both of them were ends was pitching and Zack was playing a big part in that win and they he was texting them. So I’m sure Steve Jackson is a very happy that one got the home plate number umpire James Hoy the crew chief who needs a moment AJ talking about on the pregame what what do you appreciate the most about the year he’s having said he’s just he assumes nothing meaning at any point in the game he knows he could go in it could be in any one of seven positions just said he’s the model of consistency in his routines understanding what it takes to play because he he’s playing every day and he’s never really been the everyday guy. That is not just that he plays seven positions, he plays them all well. A one-1 fast ball away two and one. But he got off to that great start also Dan and and you know then it kind of regressed just for about a week and then okay is he going to settle in? No. You know he took off again. It’s just been very consistent all year. Pass ball at the belt for a cold strike. two balls, two strikes. Come in comes into this game hitting 286. That line drive rate has stayed steady around 30% all year. You just don’t see that like ever, but he’s clearly making it a point that he’s going to stay with a very high line drive rate. The 2-2 swinging a foul. Always feel good with him at the plate. Better against lefties this year, which has been remarkable. And that’s why he’s playing every day because even when a tough lefty is out there where it might be, ah, let’s give Zack a day off. No, it’s it’s not automatic. Two on, two outs. Tigers down a run in the two. Swinging to miss. Got him with a very good change up. Pulled down and Ian McKinstry strikes out for Castillo. Strike out number four. Ends the four.

That’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahad home run in the first New York Mets home game after 911. Hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Wow. Just just out of the reach of Jorge Palano at second base and then to center field to score Glabber Torres. That’s incredible. It is. I mean, that is incredible. I threw it to break and then you realized they were still talking about whether it was a foul. Dan Wilson, I think the Tigers didn’t even ask. I think the umpires ruled. Oh, Dan, he didn’t touch it. No, but did he touch it? So, the umpires checked with each other and apparently ruled it was a foul. Dan Wilson came out and said, “Hey, what what’s going on?” How about that? Wow. And Zach didn’t go to first base, right? Runner takes off. Zack McKinley will steal second without a throw. Strike one on Dylan Dingler. So, erase the strike out from your scorebook. Get the white out like I just did. Mckenry is single to center. Didn’t hit it hard. He just got it past Palano. Second and third now for Dingler. Fast ball up and in. Hits Dylan Dingler. How about this turn of events? Castillo gave up a walk and a single. Looked like he had struck out Mckitry. And let’s be honest, he had it’s called a foul tip. McKenzie with new life singles into center ties the game. Dingler gets hit on an 01. And now Parker Meadows, who singled his first time up, steps to the plate. And pitching coach, Mariners pitching coach Pete Woodward already went out and talked to Lu Luis Castillo after McKenstry. First pitch to Parker Meadows 97 middle for a called strike. Trying to settle him down. Aces are loaded in a big opportunity. Meadows sharp single to right. His last time up the strike one. Down and away. One ball, one strike. Meadows singled on a slider out over the plate. Have had a lot of success when they have put that slider into play. I doubt he’s going to see one here. Change up fast ball is what lefties have been seeing. Change up misses down. Good hitters count. Two and one. Perez a runner at third. McKinstry at second. Good speed at second and third in scoring position. Dylan Dingler runs well. He’s at first. Castillo sets the two-1 swing and a popup foul. Will it get out of play? It will. safety out of the reach. Third baseman Williamson. Williamson is terrific at third base. Rookies had a tough time hitting, but he’s off the charts with the defensive numbers. Mariners say he backs it up. The numbers back up what they’re watching. AB Crawford very good at short. Blanco’s never graded out at second. He’s turned a nice double play in this game though. Two two the count on Parker Meadows. Base is loaded, two outs in a 1-1 game. on the pitch and swinging a miss. Worked up the ladder with a 97 mph fast. Tigers get extra life. A bonus extra pitch and Zack McKintry delivers. We head to the fifth inning in a 1-1 game on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network for Let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term.

I’m just uh so happy I gave something. These people cheer. We all did. I mean, it was a great game. Both teams played incredible. It was a great game. That’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahead home run in the first New York Mets home game after 9/11. Here moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith Clark’s one to right down the line. No crazy folks. No crazy. It’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the start of three to two on a home run by the Wizard. The next unforgettable call on the MLB app and MLB.com. The Mariners next door, Rick Rins. And uh no one’s quite sure what happened on that swing and miss third strike because the home plate umpire did not indicate Dan that it was a foul tip. And their best guess was the third base umpire DJ Rurn came in and said something. But I didn’t think a third base umpire could come in and overrule if the homeplayed umpire unless he asked him and said, “Oh wait, did he foul tip it?” You have to have reason to believe that there was a foul tip and there was no sound because he didn’t touch the ball. Donovan Solano takes a 10 fast ball high and tight for a called strike one. Yeah, you you wouldn’t think that an umpire standing well beyond 90 ft would overrule the homeplayed umpire who’s standing six feet behind him. Very mysterious change up down two and one on Donovan Solano. Strike throwing. Not quite the level that we’re used to seeing from TK Scubble. 38 strikes, 24 balls. This is elite level strike throwing almost every start. Change up and away. Three and one. Kind of an unusual number of two and three ball counts because yes, there are many games when he doesn’t even go to a two ball count. The 3-1 swinging a line drive. Foul down the left field line. one game because of strikeout. Maybe t maybe Zack McKinstry’s just got a really, you know, he’s such a nice guy. Maybe he’s just very pleasant person down there and he just said, “Hey, James, could you check with somebody?” I’m pretty sure I fouled I think he just stayed in the box, too. Yeah, he didn’t leave. Didn’t leave. Right. 3-2 swinging the line drive. Foul. Let’s face it, just just own like act like No, no, no. I fouled that one off. But you’re right, he didn’t leave and that created some doubt perhaps in the minds of the umpires. Dan Wilson, I can tell you, is unhappy. The 3-2 is swinging a shot foul. This will be another long atbat. Polano saw eight pitches in the second inning and singled with two outs. That let the Mariners run. Solano softline drive to center. Went under the glove of a diving Parker Meadows to score from first. Now this will be at least an eight pitch battle. The wind up in the 3-2. He miss ball down. So again just a little bit off today. You see Terry Scubel walk a couple of batters through 16 batters. You’re like, well that’s not a big number. That that’s very true. It’s not. But Terry Scubel has walked more than one in a game. Three times in his 18 starts. One run or none. 15 of 18. So, this becomes just the fourth time this year he’s even had a two walk game. First pitch slider down and in. He’s kind of turning around and looking to the heavens after some of these pitches, Dan. Yeah. You know, you can tell that he’s just fighting his mechanics a little bit. You know, like you said, looking to the heavens, kind of slapping his glove a little bit, kind of searching for answers. Guarantee you he has not had a game like this. Seven for 17. 17 batters, only seven first pitch strikes. A normal count would be 13, 14, the 10. Slider misses in. Quite a few two 0 and 2 one counts. Dylan Moore at the plate. Got off to a sizzling start. Lots of power early for Dylan Moore. Long time with the Mariners for a while. looked like he might be their third baseman of the future. Swinging a pop-up fouling out of play. Now he’s turned into a super utility type. And this is kind of their Zack McKinstry. There is great value in having Dylan Moore on your roster. Only hitting 217, but he’s got nine home runs. Plays every position well. Seven positions like Zack McKinstry. The 2-1 swing and a miss. But I think you can overpower him with a fast ball, you know, and he and I can’t remember exactly, but he played a a big role in that that win that the Mariners were able to get in that uh that final game in Seattle cuz he can do it with his legs, too. Has nine stolen bases. Two-2 line drive into shallow left center. Riley Green on the run. He’ll come in, make the catch. He caught the barrel of the bat on that all speed pitch down. Drove it into left center and there was Riley Green. That was actually a fast ball. Riley Green there to make the catch. You know, I’m with you though. That that was strange. It was 97 mph fast ball, but it almost looked like it was a little bit slower for some reason. Yeah, maybe because it was down slightly and we’re used to seeing that explosion up at the top of the strike zone. That brings up Ben Williamson. First pitch swinging a foul out of play. Ben Williamson hitting .257 as we mentioned earlier. Quiet 257. Just the one home run over 230 at bats. Final leaks. He showed he could draw a walk to get on base. He’s got a very low walk rate. Some swinging miss in his game. Should be a good matchup for Terk school. Got him to bounce out after falling behind 3-1 first time up. Strike one. Ground ball deep third. Charging backhanding Mckenry. throws. Got it. What a play, man. Zack McKinry had to charge, field, the short hop, and then he let go from foul territory. Now goes right over to the foul line just beyond third base and comes up and picks it, which was tough enough, but showing off the cannon of an arm. Off balance and still got a lot on that throw. Back on the home stand, we’ve seen him at short in right at third. AJ says he’ll be at left before the week ends up. First pitch slider down and away to JP Crawford. That That’s a That’s a heck of a throw. Foul territory. All your momentum going toward the dugout. Crawford left on left takes fast ball above the belt and again a two- count go out in a big limb and say this is the highest number of 20 and 2-1 counts in maybe any start this year for Derek Scoo 1-1 timer in the fifth the 20 pass ball paints the black away so again this is that pitch we saw the last start Dan 94 and it’s called a change up Yeah. And it’s it’s like a get me over fast ball. That’s it. It feels like that’s what it is, right? It has to be. Yeah. Crawford not hitting lefties at all this year. 2-1. Swinging a line driving to left. That’s going to drop for a base hit. Rody Green over to field it on one hop and that’s going to score a run. Honda Solano with Green running toward the gap will score and the Mariners on a two out left on left single from JP Crawford. Take a two-1 lead here in the fifth. Yeah, we’re starting to see some strange stuff. You know, just Derek Scubel’s just control faltering a little bit, a walk to Solano, and then a left on left where Derek has got just ultimate confidence that he I don’t care. I you know, one left-handed hitter in the entire lineup and JP Crawford’s able to slice one into left field to give the Mariners the lead. Well, just a night where he’s clearly fighting it a little bit. Julia Rodriguez takes first pitch slider at the belt for a called strike. This begins the third trip through the order for Scubble. Pitch count is climbing though. This will be his 80th pitch here in the fifth. Swing and a miss. Always has that wicked change up in his back pocket. Fifth inning today is brought to you by Figer Law. All they do is win. Strikeout update brought to you every game by Car Bliss, the official ready to drink canned cocktail of the Detroit Tigers. Two-1 Mariners. Four strikeouts for Scooble. Four also for Castillo. The O2 bounces the change up. Probably needs to get Rodriguez here. I mean, he’s going to be coming back out for the sixth, but a long couple of innings. The one two swinging a highf fly ball left field. That one’s way back and gone on a one two. Julio Rodriguez hammers him into the left field seats. change up is home run number 12 for Rodriguez and a 4-1 lead for Seattle. Yep. A little bit surprising just three change ups in a row. He got to 0 and2 through a change up down in the dirt. Couldn’t get Rodriguez to to bite on it and then goes back to that change up. That one stayed up. Thought maybe he might try to sneak that high fast ball by him. Stayed with the change up. Three in a row and Rodriguez was all over it. You carry that visiting bullpen. That’s a deep drive. Now you’ve got to get Cal Raleigh. Slider misses way up and away off the glove of Dylan Dingler. Every now and again we get reminded that Terry Scooel is human. The fourth time this year he’s given up more than three runs in a start. away to Cal Raleigh and another 200 count on a Mariners’s batter. Don’t want to fall behind Cal Raleigh. Upright relaxed stance from the right side. He’s been hammering lefties this year. Swinging a miss. 96 above the belt. Yeah, there’s a long way to go still in this game. But I think the last time that Terrick Scubel lost, wasn’t it, was was that game in Seattle back in early part of April. Wow, you’re right. Yeah, he hasn’t. Yeah, two runs swinging a miss 96 at the belt. Went five and two/3s. Gave up three runs on six hits and that started in Seattle after giving up four runs in five innings in the opener against the Dodgers. Yeah, started 0 and2 and and hasn’t looked back. The 2-2 swinging a miss way a change up down heavy damage with two outs. JP Crawford not hitting lefties this year. Singles to get the Mariners the lead. Rodriguez on the one-two change up makes it a 4-1 game. We go to the bottom of the fifth inning. 4-1 Seattle. This the home of Detroit Tigers baseball presented by Meyer. For 95 years in comming baseball slang term phrase is oppo taco. You know what it means? Oppo taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Austin with an oppo taco. His 13th and it’s a one-run game.

Hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Mariners take a 4-1 lead to the bottom of the fifth inning. First of a three-game weekend series. Bayz, Keith, and Torres as the always tough Castillo seven inning start against the Tigers back in late March, early April. Just two runs on five hits. Tigers swept the Mariners here last year. Took two out of three in Seattle last August. Two out of three earlier this year. Most of the games tight and low scoring. Tigers have scored 15 in one, nine in another. Takes a pitch outside now. Castillo into his motion. The 1-1 swing in a foul out of play. That’s just a challenge fast tonight. And he is so confident throwing it to Whitey’s Dan. I mean it is it’s impressive. Yep. It’s uh it’s definitely staying out of the middle of the plate. Also swinging a miss on a slider away. I mean Bayz strikes out. You know, it’s either on that outside part of the plate or he’ll run a sinker in off the hands just to keep him honest. And then when you get ahead like that, had really seen that slider drops a slider into Jav Bayz and swings swings and misses. Fifth strikeout for Castile. His pitch count at 76. Tigers could push it up a little bit. Maybe get him out with a high pitch count. Seattle team that again they they’ve been led by pitching in recent years. It just hasn’t been quite as good this year. Change up down in a way. It’s always led by strike throwing. Mariners Tigers always near the top in first pitch strikes and total strikes. Seattle’s just been a little more hitable this year and their their staff is pretty actually quite hitable away from home. Castillo has been much better in his home ballpark. RA is double on the road what it is at home. We haven’t seen much evidence of that tonight. slider away. Tigers put some pressure on last inning. So far, just the one run for the Tigers. No extra base hits, four singles. The 2-2 high and tight. Swings that right leg around when he finishes off that fast ball. Especially left side of the infield, shifts to the right. Williamson, the third baseman, is basically playing shortstop. The shorts stop Crawford up the middle. The outfield plays Keith to go the opposite way. The 3-2 swinging a high fly ball down the right field line popped into the seats. Solano will come over, but that’s about five rows in down the right field line. Keith 0 for two today. He’s taking a called third softly ball to left field. You know, and you and I, we’ve talked a lot about extension also of pitchers and Luis Castillo does not have a very high extension. Yeah, you know, it’s very low, but he’s still really successful with that fast ball. Fast ball. Uh, fouled back to the screen. Castillo most hitable. Second trip through opposing orders. This begins the third. The bad news is when he gets to the third trip through opposing orders, even if he’s had some struggles, this is when he’s at his best. the 3-2 swinging a foul past the screen. So Keith may be shortening his outing. Yeah, you just think one of those off speed pitches going to find its way to Colt Keith after a couple of four seam fast balls. 3-2 96 mph fast ball gets the cold third the second time tonight that’s off the plate and into cold key just swung back caught the maybe caught the inside part of the plate maybe Ki thought it was a ball either that or he was thinking like me like something off speed is coming but nope Luis Castile feels very comfortable with his fast balls tonight he sure does sticks with it first pitch fast ball to Glaver Torres for a cold strike. Labor was stepping back out of the batters box as that pitch was being delivered. Now the strike one swing and a miss. I mean he’s just riding that fast ball right now. Goes just under half the time on a normal day. He’s close to six out of every 10 pitches today. Fast ball up and away. Torres two walks, the only two walks issued by Castillo. He’s also hit a batter tonight. 4-1 Mariners in the sixth. Slider misses down. We’re not going to get Claver Torres to chase very often. He did not chase there. Check some scores in the 1800 Call Sam studio scoreboard. Yankees over the Cubs 6 nothing. That game is in the bottom of the sixth inning in the Bronx. the 2-2 and the six mph sinker misses Torres draw third walk and just getting ahead 0 and two and you just can’t finish him off to wind up the 3-2 swing in a foul poured 96 middle Tampa Bay leading at Fenway 43 over the Red Sox Toronto started the day with a twoame lead over the Yankees 4 and a half over Tampa Bay. Boston five back still very much in the picture. Four teams in the East all above 500 mark. Four teams within five games of each other. Again the 3-2 swinging the fly ball left center field deep but playable. A Roseno will go to the gap in left center and make the catch. Torres had a battle but flies out softly to left center and a one two three fifth inning for Castillo. We head to the sixth. 4-1 Mariners after five on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network presented by Meyer. Every game night is a chance to go big with MLB Big Inn.

Let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? taco. A home run hit to the opposite field with an oppo taco. His 13th and it’s a one-run game. Expand your vocabulary by listening to every game. Well, TKO’s night is done. Rare five inning start just the third time this year in 19 starts. And TKO has won five innings. two five inning starts the start this year has been five and two/3 or longer very frustrated Turk school at the end of last half inning pitching change much by your southeast Michigan Ford dealers think forward first Brendan Hannify takes over on the mound 4-1 Seattle win the top of the sixth inning 456 hitters are Rosarena Garver and Palano to face Brendan Hannfi the 10 fast ball Rosarena jumps out of the But at strike one, if he last pitched on Tuesday and he’s got a nice pocket full of right-handed hitters coming up with four lefties on the bench, should Dan Wilson want to make some kind of move. Fast ball low and away to a Rosenham. Final line for TK Scubble as tougher starts to the year. the 2-1 swinging to miss sinker away. So that’s got action back onto the plate. Starts over in the left-handed batter’s box. Snaps onto the outside edge. Depending on which side of the plate he throws a two, he can get up to 161 17 in of run. The 2-2 swinging a fly ball right center field. That’s deep. Attracting Perez who’ll make the catch into the right center field gap. One up and one down. That final line for Terco again brought by Figer Law. All they do is win. Four runs on four hits, two walks, five strikeouts in five innings. And the most surprising number, 87 pitches, 54 strikes, very low percentage of total strikes compared to what we normally expect or he’s been delivering really all year. Well, just an off night. Dan, what was the biggest thing that kind of stood out to you? Swinging a foul out of play off the bat of Mitch Garver, strike one. Well, I think it was definitely the the control, the command, you know, saw him fighting himself a little bit, looking like you said up up to the sky and kind of figuring things out and and normally he’s able to make those in-game adjustments, but tonight probably not. Slider misses down in the way to Mitch Garber. Well, as you described, I mean, that’s been one of his real strengths the last two years, that ability to make the in-game adjustment and and and there’s small little adjustments, too. You can feel it as a pitcher. the 1-1 slider low and away. Two and one on Garber. It’s just, you know, like it just doesn’t feel right. Something’s a little bit quick or my landing a little bit too soon. My arm’s not catching up. You know, I’m a little bit out in front of my pitches. 2-1. A little tap foul on the ground behind home plate. Two- two on Garber. Sometimes you can make those corrections, you know, and you’re able to do it just within one pitch or maybe the next inning. And some nights you just keep fighting it and fighting it. That’s what Terrick Schubo looked like he was doing was fighting it, trying to get himself righted and just couldn’t write himself consistently, right? And that’s why I think that that control was was not what you’re used to seeing from Derek Scuba. Yeah. Many many 20 and 21 counts and that’s just not the norm. The 22 ground ball passed a diving blur. He was shaded up the middle ran to his left do and it went by him to the glove side. It’s Carver with a single to right field. Brings up Jorge Palanos. You know, maybe too, Dan, just you know, there was uh the non-competitive pitches, I guess. You know, you’re talking about the the first pitch strikes and and you know that it’s usually over 70%. I mean, it’s way up there. And it wasn’t like Seattle was waiting them out, you know, it was just no, they were just they were taking that first pitch because it wasn’t a strike. When Terrick Scubal is below 50% on first pitch strikes, you know what? It’s just one of those nights, right? The 10 change up misses down and away. Paleno betting from his stronger left side. Had an off year last year. Some were surprised the Mariners signed him back in the off season. always struggled defensively, but now he is almost strictly a DH. Getting the rare start in the field today. Swinging a high fly ball right field. Perez in back now in again and he’s going to come in some more. Make the catch into right center. A little zig and a zag, but in the end he makes the catch on the 200. Always big for Hannipe to get the lefty out. Two outs, man on first. 4-1 Mariners in the sixth inning. That’ll leave it up to Donovan Solano. Yeah, that left-handed average. It’s still quite elevated, you know, but it’s slowly going down for Canopy. Right-handers still are not doing a whole heck of a lot against him, but he’s starting to mix in a little more forcing fast balls. Slider for a strike on the outside part of the plate. It is interesting for talk to you pitchers, but I mean the guys who can pronate can throw the good change up, the guys who I mean some guys are pronators, some are super nators. He said I’m a superator. So I that means the change up doesn’t always have that action that he wants. He’s kind of messing with the grip a little bit. You know, I’ I’ve asked a lot of pitchers and I haven’t asked him yet if they’ve monkeyed with that kick change. One swinging a tap foul. I asked him that the other day. He kind of like a little bit. It really is hard though in season, right? Because you’re not going to get on a mound to throw it and practice it. You’re going to do it on flat ground and then you have to have the confidence to take it into a game. That’s the big one. You know, like, yeah, I can I’m playing catch with my buddy over here and it’s pretty good and I’m on flat ground and then Julio Rodriguez steps in there and you’re going, uhoh, can I throw it for a strike? Ground ball softly to short. Bayas will get around it. Flipped to second base to Torres for the force on Garver Solano on a one-two bounces out goes 6-4. Tigers batt in the bottom of the sixth inning trying to break through against Luis Castile. They’re down 4-1. This the home of Detroit Tigers. Great moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith courts one in right down the line. It may go. Go crazy folks. Go crazy.

Mace Castillo pitch count into the 90s. Takes the mound here in the bottom of the fifth inning. Pitch count at 92. But this is a veteran who Dan Wilson appreciates his ability to go deep into games. He has had starts with 114 and 106 pitches this year. And so Perez swings, fouls it out of play. Bullpen for Seattle pretty much rested and in good shape. They’re closer. Andre Munoz did throw 31 pitches last night. He’s a beast. Didn’t nail down the save yesterday. Change up away. So he’s probably unavailable, but everybody else is. And there’s some good arms. Bizardo Vargas eight spire the 1-1 swinging a soft ground ball deep in the hole at short just backhanded by Crawford to step onto the outfield grass moving toward third and he’ll hang on Wel Perez with a leadoff single here in the sixth inning. Tigers need base runners down 4-1. Yeah, just a little sinker down and away from Wel and he didn’t try to pull it. just hit that nice ground ball over there when Jake Crawford shifted it over up the middle. There’s just no play. Brings up Riley Green. Hasn’t been anything fancy for Luis Castile. He still has an average fast ball over 95 and he’s been using it to great effect tonight against the Tigers. Righties and lefties swing a ground ball foul. He’s a twothirds of the time fast guy anyway with the four seam and the two seam, but he’s throwing the four seam a lot more than the two seam sinking fast ball tonight. And it’s been good. He’s been moving it in, out, up and down. Strike one. Perez takes off swinging a foul to the screen. Green with a single soft fly ball to left behind now. 0 and two. Rosean left is in and toward a little bit little bit toward the line. Center fielder. Julio Rodriguez. Yes, he’s had some struggles at the plate this year, but man, he’s still good out there in center field. He shades to left center. Puts the right fielder more toward the right center field gap. Little quick throw over to first. That’s one of the many ways you can shorten that lead at first. Save a foot or two for your catcher. But the point you made, Dan, is the best one. You have to be quick to home. the O2 pass ball up and away if you’re not 14 is kind of the the green light is when you’re 14 or you know and a lot of times too that Anthony Iosio first base coach will go over and kind of read that off and just you know give them There goes Perez pitches high onto second base into center field. Perez didn’t see it. Now he gets up. He’s going to go to third. Rodriguez has a big arm throw to third base out of time. Oh, Perez slid over the base. Thought maybe Williamson was going to hold the tag and get him out. Aggressive base running by Wel Perez. The steel, the error, and he’s on third. We’ll see at the Mariners challenge. I just like the aggressiveness in thinking, hey, we’re down four to one and Luis Castillo is probably going to go right after Riley Green and so he’s going to take a little bit more time to go home. So, the Tigers are being aggressive with Wel Perez and they take advantage of that steal second base and then the throwing error into center field. The two two to Rody Green swinging a fly ball deep to right center field on the run is more still going and it’s by him and Rodriguez. Perez in Green with a full head of steam around second. He’ll make it to third without a throw. Slides in head first. Tigers cut the Mariners lead to four to two. Riley Green to the deepest part of the ballpark. Jumped on a fourseam fast ball up and pulled it. And I don’t think Riley was going to go to third. He was starting to pull up at second base, but it was kind of mishandled out in right center field in between both of the outfielders. Neither one of them picked it up. And right when they saw that ball trickle by both of them, that’s when Riley Green turned it on and said, “I can make it to third.” And he gets to third easily. That is really rare to see a ball drop between two who are both going after it. one cutting behind the other and then neither one goes for it. Exact. They just kind of ran by one another and it just trickled right by them. Let’s pause for station identification on the Detroit Tigers radio network. Let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Oppo taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Austin with an oppo taco his 13th and it’s a one-run game. Expand your vocabulary by listening to every game on the MLB app and MLB.com.

Moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith courts wanting to right down the line. It may go crazy folks. Taste a home run. Lofty Pops. Real ingredients. Real good. Right here. That’s Torqulson facing the reliever Edward Bardo. Right-hander delivers a 96 mph fast ball for a called strike one. The Kinstry waiting on deck. Infield back. Green coming down the line at third. The strike one. Swing and a foul to the screen. That’s 96 with some life at the plate. Yeah, Bazardo’s got the hot hand right now, too. He’s been throwing the ball really well over his last 20 games. Pitching to a 083 erra, just given up two earned runs. Really, really tough on righties. It’s a big right left split, meaning lefties are much tougher against him. Torqulson lays off breaking ball down. Goes a lot of sliders. Four seams sinker. occasional split finger to the left-hander. The one two fly ball left field deep going back of Rose Arena at the feds. He’ll make the catch. Green will tag and score. Oh man, Spencer Torlson made a bid for number 22. Came up a couple of feet short. Tigers cut the Mariners lead to four to three. Boy, Dan, I thought he got it. That ball was hit so high he got way underneath that inside fast ball and then you just saw the way a Rosa raina was going after you said no it can’t stay in here man boy just about a foot or two away off the bat you’re right it looks like a game tying home run he has to settle for the single RBI bases Empty. One out. Tigers have scored two. 43 Mariners lead. One out to McKinstry. See if he can get something started. I mean, to give you an idea how good that swing was. Right-handed batters game. Come on. 149 in their 100 at bats. Last year they hit 148. I guess that’s pretty consistently good. Slider in the dirt. On the flip side, lefties had the big edge 240, draw some walks, hit with some power. Yeah, it just it seen I don’t know how many balls to straightaway center field that he’s just absolutely smoked. That one was well struck. Three 0 fast ball middle for a called strike. Man, just I mean so many balls that Spencer Torlson has just crushed that he comes empty on. Yep. Walk rate at three and a half. A little above that for Bizardo. Pass ball low and he walks McKinstry. McKinry trots down to first. This is a reliever you can run on. And we know the Tigers like to run. Kinstry now with 14 steals. He’s been caught three times and really only been caught once actually at the bang. One time he was picked off. Another time he started stopped was caught in a rundown. But in terms of just being caught at the bag while attempting to steal once 14 for 15, he makes good decisions when he’s over there at first. Dingler at the plate. Fly ball center field deep of playable. Rodriguez back now in and in some more. Wow. We have seen this a couple of times tonight. Rodriguez makes the catch. McKinstry back to first. Look at the flags whether it’s on the David Whitney building out in deep right in the bullpen in left. No breeze at all. And yet it feels like balls to the outfield are being knocked down now. I agree that one especially. And I don’t know if the air is heavy or something like that, but even on Spencer Torlson, it looked like the the wind was I mean just gently blowing out to left center. Something’s going on though. The last two balls. Yes, they look like they were held up. Flip over to first to drive McKinstry back. Sixth inning is brought to you by the de Jack Demer Automotive Group. When in discover the Demer difference counts no longer an issue. Castillo exited with 100. Scoo with 87 after five. Pitch counts are brought to you by Rocket Mortgage. Own the dream. Today’s game brought to you in part by Corwell Health reminding you together we can overcome any obstacle and fight any battle. Parker Meadows at the play. He’s been hit by a pitch and struck out. I’m sorry, a single and a strikeout. Flip over to first. Whoa. McKenry the flying leap back to the bag and just got back to the bag. Mariners are not going to challenge. I mean, that is inches. Bazardo thought he got him on the first one and was even more sure that he got him on that one, but clearly both of them he was safe. First pitch to Parker Meadows. Fast ball away. My goodness, look where Garver is setting up. He set over up over behind the left-handed batter’s box or I’m sorry, the right-handed batter’s box against the left and Bardo hit the glove. McKinstry takes off, pitches low, throw down to second base. Off the glove, in and out of the glove of JP Crawford. Another steal for Zack McKinstry. Second of the night, 15th of the year for the Allstar. But Zack McKinstry knew that they’d already gone over twice. So he had the benefit of getting a big big lead and knowing that Bazardo was not probably not going to try to pick him off that third time. And he was able to get in there. JP Crawford almost looked like he was trying to pull a hobby. He was, you know, just that that makes you appreci appreciate JavaS all the more because he couldn’t do it. Really good shortstop. JP Crawford. The two slider in the middle of the plate. That’s exactly what I was thinking. He was trying to let the ball travel, but that’s a real skill. Well, not everybody can do it. Base hit could tie this game. Will tie this game. The 2-1 swinging a foul over the screen down below us. 2-2 on Parker Meadows again. One for two tonight. Line drive single and a strikeout against Castile. Well, you think about the Tigers too where they don’t steal a lot of bases. 15th in the American League, last in all of baseball, but they’re picking their spots. Wel has got one. McKinstry one. The two- two got him. Sinker with some swing back at 97. Meadows frozen. Tigers score two. We head to the seventh inning. 4-3 Mariners after six on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network presented by Meer.

Catch the next unforgettable call on the MLB app. All the hardworking people who make it possible. Let’s go with Zack McKinstry. Why not? Another three innings to go, but still line drive single. Stolen base drove in a run in the fourth. walk stolen base got into scoring position as a potential tying run in the sixth inning. Everybody knows when he’s over there now, Dan, he wants to go and nobody can stop him. Henipi second inning of work. Strike slider on the front door to Dylan Moore, the right-handed batter. Strike one. I just like how he went about it. Just kept even though they threw over a couple times, he stepped kept getting a little bit more little bit more of a lead. Fast ball down and away. Moore 0 for two against the starter Turk Scuba. Went just five and gave up four. Bolton getting loose. The Tigers have just scored two. Important for Brennan Hanny to put up that zero. The shutdown inning. Nast ball misses. Low and away. Another righty. Ben Williamson waiting on deck. You’d think that AJ wants Hannipe to get these two and Holton will be ready for JP Crawford. Two-1 swinging a fly ball right field. Fairly deep. Perez back and now in. And again. Yeah, we see the wind knock the ball down even though there is no wind. I mean, the flag is have just picked up, but it’s a pretty light breeze. Clearly different than what the flags are indicating because balls to left, to center, and to right are all being knocked down. But you’re seeing outfielders that are fooled by it, too. You know, they’re getting back to where they think the ball is going to be and having to adjust to come in because it’s getting knocked down. Then Williamson takes a fast ball outer third for a called strike. 43 Mariners are in the seventh inning. Three-run fifth inning stands as the difference in the game. Slider strike to Williamson. Rounded out twice. One terrific defensive play by McKinstry at third tonight. Soft ground ball that he had to charge backhand on the in between hop and then throw from foul territory to get him at first. out and away with the slider. One and two on Williamson. Crawford waiting on deck. Holton ready. This be a really nice outing for Brennan Hannify. As you said, nice pocket of righties for him with the lead. Dan Wilson didn’t go to any of his lefties on the bench. The one two swing in a little soft tap foul. Williamson again. We did not see him early in the year. He started at AAA Tacoma. The minor league numbers suggest he’s got good bat- ball skills. Can hit for average if not for power. Draw a walk to get on base. There’s great value in having somebody like this in your lineup. He just hasn’t done much yet at the major league level. The one two swing and a foul. Feels like you can beat him with a good fast ball, but he did ground out twice against Scoo. He looks like he’s more on these fast balls from Hannipy than the fast balls that he was getting from Terk Scooel. Looked like he was very late and these look like he’s more on time with on two grounded defers. Torqulson gets around it. Leads handy to the bag really nicely. Put out goes 31 with Torres shaded up the middle. Torlson had to range far to his right. AJ Hinch pops out of the dugout. Nice job by Brennan Hannify. give up a single last inning. Saw five right-handed betterers other than Garver who singled including one lefty and the switch hitter Palanco and got them all out. Good outing for Hannipy. Bases empty, two outs with the lefty Crawford coming up. Holton’s coming on a run. 4-3 in the seventh. Take a hack at guessing which baseball player or manager said the following.

Tyler Holton on the mound to face the lefty JP Crawford. First pitch, front door sweeper misses the mark. Fall one. Crawford reached hit by a pitch. A walk and a single against Turk Scubal. He just buries lefty. A lefty who buries lefties and he couldn’t get Crawford out tonight. You won’t see that again all year. Fast ball strike. One-on-one. Holton works from the stretch over on the third base side. 4-3 Mariners are in the seventh. One-1 check swing didn’t go two and one on JP Crawford. Well, and Tyler Holton has really started to turn it up. I mean, he’s last seven outings have been scoreless, hitting all of his spots. It’s precision strike throwing again, swinging a soft little fly ball to left. Riley Green in, makes the catch. Tyler Holton does the job. Gets the week out off the bat of JP Crawford.

Order online for delivery or pizza portal pickup. Bayz will lead off with the Tigers. Sardo on the bound. Gave up couple of hard hit balls. One ended up at the wall. One ended up deep to center field and got knocked down. Looks like you’re going to really have to pull the ball on the low line at the moment to get it out. Jav Bayz takes first pitch. Strike one. High is tonight 0 for two against the starter Luis Castillo went five and a third in this game. Swinging a ground ball chopped to third. Williamson will charge field fire from the grass over to first. Castillo actually only went five because he faced the first two batters. Did not get an out in the sixth inning. Three runs on six hits, two walks and six strikeouts. Lineup turns over for Cole Keith. Again, it is a big platoon split for Bazardo. Lefties get him for average and some power. Righties do nothing. Even though Tolson almost took him deep. Keith 0 for three tonight. And all that means is that he’s doomed. Got that hockey beard going. Long as he’s getting hits. He said I’m I’m keeping it. And he seems very locked in. That thing might get long. The strike one line drive down the right field line. Hooking foul. Just foul down the line. Both balls behind. No balls, two strikes. Check some scores in the 1800 call. Sam Studio scoreboard. Baltimore 5 nothing over Miami. That game’s in the bottom of the eighth inning in Baltimore. Colorado 3-2 over Cincy. That game’s in the bottom of the eighth inning. Cincinnati kind of hanging around on the fringes of the wild cards. Yankees beating up on the Cubs. Eight nothing in the eighth. Tampa Bay holding on to their 4-3 lead over Boston in the seventh inning. Toronto again started the day with a two-game lead. They play in Sacramento tonight against the A’s. Heath swings, gets jammed, popped it up shallow center field. Julio Rodriguez will come in, make the catch. Twilight right now in downtown Detroit can be a tricky time of night for outfield. Chris Rodriguez didn’t seem to have any trouble with that high popup. Two outs for Glaver Torres. Two walks, fly ball to left against the starter Castillo leading the White Sox 2-1. That game is in the third. Texas 5-1 over Houston. Bottom of the third inning. Houston has lost three in a row after their hot stretch. Lost three in a row to Cleveland. I mean, that’s when you just say, “Okay, sometimes you can’t figure baseball out.” It’s not about sometimes you hear it’s not who you play but when you play them. Well, it certainly seemed to be a good time to play Cleveland. And it seemed to be a bad time to play Houston and Cleveland went down to Houston, snapped their 10-game win streak and swept the Astros. I, you know, I just think, well, they lost 10 in a row. It, you know, at that it’s got to change pretty quick. And boy, they took it out on the Astros. Fast ball strike on the O2 gets Glaver Torres and Bazardo after some good swings for the Tigers last inning. A one, two, three. Seventh inning on eight pitches. Strikes out Torres on an 02. Taking a call third. Head to the eighth inning. Tigers down 4-3 after seven. The Detroit Tigers Radio Network presented by Meer. We know what you love. You love baseball.

Gave up four runs in five innings. two-run home run from Julio Rodriguez. Capped a three-run fifth inning and that right now stands as the difference in the game. Rodriguez will lead off. We said yes. Has it been a down couple of years? It has been for Rodriguez. Swing and a miss on a change up. And Rodriguez, it’s so funny. He he reacted earlier to a change up that he swung and missed at kind of looked out at Scooble. That time he swings and misses it. A beauty of a change up from Holton and kind of has a smile on his face as he says something yelling out to Holton. The strike one swinging a soft ground ball. Wow. On a cutter. You talk about a jam job. Torlson will field it and make the play an unassisted. One up and one down. Eighth inning 4-3 Seattle on top. He probably looked at him and said, “Don’t you know that I hit a change up for a home run? What are you doing coming back and throwing me a change up that I swing and miss it? That brings up Cal Raleigh again batting from the right side. He’s hit 330 from the right side in his 96 at bats with 14 home runs. Your basic one out of every seven at bats. Rally swings and misses. First pitch cutter the strike one from Holton. Swing and a miss. Love it. Dan cutter. Fast ball. Same spot. But I mean look at where all these pitches are for the last you know what is I said seven outings have been scoreless. So you know at least three weeks two and a half three weeks. I mean every pitch is on the corner now where he’d be making mistakes before. Now everything is right where he wants it. 02 fast ball high and away. We were seeing a little added velocity as well. And I was that’s what he kept telling everybody. I’m I’m fine. I you know it’s not how many innings I’ve thrown over the last two years. My stuff is doing what it is. I’m just not executing the one two down and in. And I know he has heard about, hey, the batting average on balls in play is artificially low. And it was low and it’s very hard to keep it low. Meaning league average 290. He was closer to 200. The 2-2 and swinging a fly ball left field deep. Trouble. Green on the run. Still going. Gone. My goodness. Cal Raleigh with another home run. His 37th of the year. He fell behind 02 and went down and got the change up and hit it out in between the two bullpens. You know what, Dan? I mean, that is one strong man right there because that pitch, I think, was right where Tyler Holton wanted it. He got him out in front and then just just muscled it. And we’ve seen the balls get knocked down. That one didn’t get knocked down. No. Just stunning production. It’s not like he was building toward this year. He hit 34 and 30 the last two years. Good solid seasons. 750ish OPS. Remember league average 710 720 OPS this year with 37 home runs. I mean just off the charts jump in power in production. Home run total is probably going to hit 50. It’s just uh I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Then at age 28, I mean, he’s in his prime, but the jump from one year to the next has been incredible and and he came in struggling. One, two, swinging a miss. Curve ball down gets a Ros, but he came in struggling batting average-wise, but the long ball still has been there, man. I mean just I it is that ball was off the plate and he out in front and just almost onehanded it. That’s just that is just a strong strong man swinging a foul and and when opposing pitchers see that Garver at the plate behind 01 when opposing pitchers see that it’s like now you’re watching this and you’re thinking I’ve got to be even more precise. I’ve got to even be more careful. And that’s when you it can lead to mistakes, right? It I I mean, but he he’d gotten ahead by that outside corner and stayed out there. Garver swings, pops it up down the line. Bayz will call off Mckinstry into foul territory and make the catch. Big add-on run. Cal Raleigh with another home run. It’s a major league leading 37th home run. Two-run lead again for the Mariners. Tigers bat. Bottom of the eighth inning down 5-3. This is the home of Detroit Tigers baseball.

The topical cream spire long time with Kansas City now the last three years with Seattle. an off year last year in an injury shortened season just 24 innings has been a big big piece for Dan Wilson this year 41st appearance 260 RA and Dan it’s low walks high strikeouts a lot of swing and miss for this guy on the mount yeah and he threw in last night’s game but only threw 11 pitches pitch in the dirt down and away Jamai Jones will pinch hit to start the bottom of the eighth Tigers down two. Pinch hitting for Wel Perez. Riley Green waiting on deck. The 10 miss down and in. Two and0. Spire’s got really just three pitches. The four seam fast, the sinker and slider. The 20 95 bottom rail close enough for a called strike. Jones has been terrific coming off the bench against lefties. Spire works middle of the rubber, sets, holds a glove at the letters, pauses for a beat. The 2-1 pitch, swinging a soft ground ball to third off the foot of Jamai Jones. Two balls in two strikes. You know, I think that Dan that uh it because of the success that Jamai Jones has had, that’s why he’s doing that because Wel has been swinging the bat good from the right side and just kind of just saying, “Okay, you know, I’ll go with Jamai Jones here just because, you know, he is so hot.” Chris McDonald, actually known as CMAC, out to talk with Jamai Jones. He hit that off his leg. We’re going to get a look at where it obviously missed the shin guard. Yep, right above it. Oh, amazing how often it misses. And again, if that shin guard was a couple of inches higher, that foul would have been above that, right? But I mean those are off the bat those are 95 to 100 miles an hour you know right down into your shin. Spire pitched in a 55 game in New York yesterday after Munoz couldn’t hold the lead in the ninth inning after a bunt attempt to move the extra inning runner to third. Anthony Vulpi for an out. It was then intentional walk and then unintentional walk to load the bases and judge sacrifice fly won it. Jones hits a fly ball to center deep. Rodriguez back though he’ll go to the track. Stop make the catch. He was ready to race to the wall and stops. Whatever mysterious wind there is out there is fooling the outfielders. I can tell you. Well, but it uh Yeah, because that one off the bat looked good again and then just died. But it did not die when Cal Raleigh was up there. I I mean I I again I just think it speaks to his strength that just sheer brute strength cuz we’re seeing outfielders go back and in again and again and again. Rodriguez is ready to run to the track and then he just stops. Rody Green takes a pitch outside. Triple up the right center field gap and a single. Two for three for Green. Tigers need base runners down by two. We’re in the bottom of the eighth inning. One of the swing line drive right to second base. Blanco makes a catch. Good swing for Riley. It’s the second out here in the eighth inning. Eighth inning is brought to you by Hadfield Foods. Better care, better pork. Lead up to Spencer Torlson. Deep fly ball to left field. His last time up. It’s the first out of the sixth inning. It brought home a run. Sacrifice fly. strike out. Bounced into a double play in his first two at bats. First pitch here is swinging a long foul. Slices down the right field line. 41,681 for tonight’s game. Remember likely likely that Andre Munoz 31 pitches last night is not available today. swinging a miss, but he had not worked the two previous days, so all depends on whether his manager feels like 31 was too much. Munoz is well, he’s just a beast at the back end. The O2 swinging a fly ball right field deep going back is more and the track he’ll stop, make the catch. He was ready to run to the wall. Yep. Torlson made a bid, but it’s the third out here in the eighth inning. Outfielders continue to get fooled by that wind. Whatever it is, up in the air pretty high, knocking balls down. Let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Ao taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Boston with an hisun game.

Hear moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Today by Coma Bank, only the one banks bank committed to Michigan since 1849. That’s America. Carlos Hernandez takes over on the mound. 5-3 Mariners are in the ninth. Blanco Solano and Dylan Moore to face him. Fernandez closed out that game in Cleveland on Sunday. Just gave up that one unearned run. That was the extra runner starting at second base. Threw a good inning. First pitch, knuckle curve, swinging a miss. Palanco is having a good year. And he just swung a pit bounce in front of home plate. Well, Hernandez remains intriguing. Why he continues to get chances. Fast ball down and away. One ball, one strike. Everybody wants to unlock the potential in this big right arm. Tripledigit fast ball at any moment. The 1-1 swinging a miss. How about that splitter in the middle of the plate and it had some nice action on it. Completely fooled Palano. He’s going to need to take a little walk. It’s all about arm speed and his arm speed was tremendous. It looked like a fast ball and then just completely died about halfway to home plate and Blanco way out front. The one two swinging a base hit it into right for seam fast ball drilled into right field. That’s what we’ve seen. He he does have 100. Yeah. In the back pocket and also it is at times a hitable 100 or 98 which is his average fast ball. Yeah. I think it was more the location right there of the pitch just you know got ahead and then just threw that fast ball and it was pretty much center cut. Was a ground ball but just in that perfectly placed in that four hole. knuckle curve at the belt for a cold strike. Donovan Solano at the plate. Had a tough time against righties. Tough time against lefties. Zach’s been better against righties this year, but he’s here to hit lefties. Donnie Barrels they call him. Hot shot, base hit, one hop off the dirt into left. Big important inning. I mean, the Tigers are still, it feels like, trying to figure out what not just what they have in Carlos Hernandez, Dan, but there’s a lot of work going on behind the scenes we talked about with that delivery, trying to get that lead arm up a little bit for a little deception, for a little better accuracy. And maybe they want him to pair down pitches. He told me a couple of weeks ago that, no, I want to keep all four pitches. But it sounds like that fast ball splitter combination is kind of what they would like him to lean on a little bit. But it feels like they’re they know what they’ve got. It’s a big arm capable a four pitch guy capable of throwing 100. And the results have been very wildly inconsistent now for well year to year throughout his career. And and I think also, you know, when you do have an arm like that where you throw a hundred, is there possibly something that he is doing in his delivery that might be tipping off the the the hitters just on one of those pitches, you know, like, okay, we’ll foul off the fast ball, but you know, there’s something he’s doing on his off speed or vice versa. You know, he’s doing something different on that fast ball and the hitters are seeing it and knowing when to jump on it. right here. Chris Feder, I think, just has to go out and just remind him, you know, of some of that, you know, hey, look it, you know, you’re you got to make a little bit better pitches. These are just two center cut. Yep. Lukeley batting first pitch and splitter misses in at 89. Pinch hitting for Dylan Moore. Look at Hernandez. his best years, 2021 with Kansas City and 2024 with Kansas City. It’s when his fast ball was his best pitch and it has not been most other years in the ERAs are bloated in the other years. Rear ERA just over five in almost 300 innings of work at the major league level. Walks too high for a strikeout rate that’s below a strikeout an inning. Five walks per nine, eight strikeouts per inning. Luke takes a pitch outside and quickly gets ahead three and 0. Though this is not protecting a lead late, this is a big inning for him. Pass ball up and he walked him on four pitches. That’s one of the big issues with Carlos Hernandez, the ability to throw consistent strikes. So important for him to put up the zero here. And now it’s base is loaded and nobody out. And Brent Herder throwing out there in the Tiger bullpen with JP Crawford on deck. How to fly balls off opposing bats and pretty consistent hard contact. Ben Williamson takes a breaking ball. Strike one. Starts him off with a slider. Infield in tight. get swing and miss. This is a swing and miss candidate. Swing and a miss. Slider that bounced. Wow. But you’re, you know, like you were talking about the fast ball splitter. You know, you fast ball splitter to lefties, fast ball slider to righthanders, and you can miss it. Mix in that splitter to to right-handers also. Upright relaxance for Williamson from the right side. The 02 99 mph fast ball up and away. Hry at third right by the bag. Even with the bagz up to the edge of the grass at short. Torres on the grass at second base. Same for Torlson at first. The one two swinging a ground ball. Base hit into left. That’s one. And that probably nope. That’s just going to be one. They’ll hold Solano at third and Riley Green gets the ball in. pretty conservative, but a big add-on run and there’s still nobody out. And that’s the end of the day for Carlos Hernandez. 6-3 lead for the Mariners here in the ninth. Alano scores. Base is loaded. And that’s going to be the jam for Brander. Base is loaded. None out. Brand her will inherit. Ninth inning, 6-3 Mariners. The Tigers go to the bullpen. And we’ll pause these words on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network presented by Meyer. America’s favorite place to watch sports just got even better. It’s Stadium Swim at Circa Resort and Casino. Sports fans moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith Clarks went into right down the line. It may go crazy, folks. Go crazy. It’s a home run and the Cardinals have won the game by the 3-2. on a home run.

Do you know what it means? the game. Brand her, you got the bases loaded and nobody out. JP Crawford at the plate. 6-3 Mariners first pitch. Almost hit him. Fast ball up and in. Ball one. Yeah, I was just ready to say that, you know, he’s throwing so much better. And watch that fast ball. That fast ball’s been really good. And he almost clipped him through that inside to JP Crawford. 10 fast ball at the belt for a cold strike. Came right back with it. And that’s a good sign because he had that little rough stretch and then just his last couple of outings he’s just looked a lot smoother, a lot freer and he just really just threw a really good fast ball. Very free and easy. One, two line drive deep and foul. The 1-1 sweeper hung. That’s a pitch that he can wipe lefties out with. Now it’s one and two on JP Crawford. Yeah. Throws those sinkers in on the hands of those lefties and then throws that sweeper, that big tall 66 left arm comes down and around and behind that left-handed hitter and sweeps to the outside corner. Could use the strikeout right here. The one two is swinging a ground ball to second base. Torres tried to charge field and go home and it went under his glove. Two runs will score. Makes it an 8-3 game. That was actually a double play ball. And Torres was just trying to be a little too quick to get two. Key rule, make sure you get one. Yep. And the other thing is Solano does not run that well. He didn’t have to be this fast. He just uh did not have to be that quick, you know, to to get one. Just make sure you field it and then just throw a strike home to get that one out. But maybe trying to get a little too greedy, get it to home play and then try to snap him back and get JP Crawford at first. And Murderer got the easy ground ball. E4 plates two. Williamson ends up on third. 83 game now. Change up down to Julio Rodriguez. 2-0. Crawford not the speediest of runners. Actually, that could have easily been two. The two pass ball away. 3-0. Rodriguez with the big two-run home run off. Scooble ended his night early after five. Eight runs on nine hits for the Mariners. Three runs, six hits for the Tigers. Each team now has made an error. Still nobody out. Her’s been great at stranding inherited runners this year. and he got the ground ball that could have easily meant two outs without a run scoring and instead misses into Rodriguez. Walks him. The bases are reloaded and there’s still nobody out. Single, single, walk, single with Hernandez on the mound now. Error walk to reload the bases for Oh yeah. Cal Raleigh. My goodness. 15 home runs from the right side this year. Swinging a tap foul. Just very impressive when you know that every team now and this started early in the year when he got off to the hot start. Every team is circling. Cal Raleigh is the guy. Don’t let this guy beat you. Make sure that this is the guy we get out. Which means that he’s facing the toughest pitches of the pitchers that he’s facing. And you look at his month by month, week by week, however you want to slice it, Dan. He has hit with consistent power all year even as he has been targeted by the other team and doing it playing a tough position behind the plate. Now sure he DH is but he still spends a lot of time. You know what I was blown away with? He’s got nine stolen bases. I know. I I wrote that down today. I’m like, wait, where’s that come from? He apparently wants to be the complete player this year. Not that he’s not, but I mean added stolen bases to his game. sweeper on the back door. Exactly. You know, for I mean, as much catching as he does, you know, you just think, wow, he can’t have that can’t steal that many bases, can he? Can he? Nine. The O2 away. The record for home runs by a catcher is Salvador Perez. But the record for home runs hit in games that you started the game as a catcher. Remember Salvador Perez scored a lot of DH the year he hit 48. The record is Jorge Lopez for Atlanta swinging a foul straight back in 2003 with 42. That means games that he caught He hit 42 home runs. Todd Hunley is second with 41s. Roy Campanella is third with 40. Those are the only three who hit 40 when they were catching. Cal Raleigh has hit 31 of his 37 now as a catcher. Meaning he started the game at catcher today. DH Bran herder being very very careful with him rightly so Raleigh kind of complained about a a pitch early in that bat just clipping the outside corner and he fouled a fast ball back and and I don’t think Brent Herder liked the way he swung at that pitch and said h I’m going to try to catch that outside corner with one of those sweepers and just hasn’t been able to do it. Two two fly ball left field. My goodness. Another home run for Cal Rowley. Unbelievable. Second in as many innings. 38th of the year is a grand slam. And the Mariners have blown this one wide open. 12 for three lead in the ninth. He did. Danny tried to sneak a fast ball inside. and he was waiting for it. It just the the pitches were out out just waiting for him to come in and he came in and just he just spun on it on that inside sinker on the inside part of the plate. Just dropped the barrel of the bat and spun on it. I I’ve never seen anything quite like this. He go from being a good solid hitter with 30 home runs the last two years 34 and 30 to now just being otherworldly with his consistent power. The jump in production is astounding for Cal. I said Jorge Lopez Jav Lopez I meant for Atlanta in 2003. that I don’t have much doubt that he’s going to probably set the new record for home runs by a catcher while at the catcher position. I think he’s going to certainly blow right past Salvador Perez’s 48 strike to Rose Arena. And two different swings, too. That other one he muscled out that change up off of TK Scoo. That one he blasted. Rosena takes a pitch away. Three and one. As we said, this is a very different team away from home. Five runs a game on the road. 68 home runs in 47 games. Away from home. Fast in. Misses. Rosarena draws a walk. This inning may never end. There are still zero outs in the ninth inning. I was searching back through my scorecard, Dan, hoping to find maybe I’ve missed one, but no, there there has not been a missed out. Boy, I think how different could have been. Favor Torres has been outstanding at second base this year. I know what the numbers say that he grades out tick below average defensively, but Dan, he made so many errors the last two years. He’s only made a few all season. Three before that one. So that that’s a rare mistake by him. He was just trying to trying to make a play in charge and the ball went right under his glove. Garver takes a strike. One ball, one strike. No, you don’t. The good thing about it is you don’t when you’re not talking about his defense, you know that he’s making all the plays and he has been for the majority of the year. Garver swings and misses. One ball, two strikes. 123 Mariners in the ninth inning. Let’s talk about tomorrow. Casey M will be on the mound for the Tigers tomorrow. It’s a 110 start. Love to see out here. George Kirby on the mound for the Mariners. Swing and a miss. a strikeout and a Bronx cheer in Mottown for the first out of the ninth inning after the first eight batters reached with a hit and error walk and then the Cal Raleigh grand slam home run. 81 RBI’s to go with his 38 home runs. Miles Mastrobi at the plate. First pitch fast ball for called strike one. Astrabony, a left-handed batter, swings and hits a ground ball softly down the first baseline. Falls behind no balls, two strikes. He’s been in the major leagues now four years for three different teams of the Cubs last year into this game approaching 150 at bats hitting just 240 with no power and 33 hits 29 of those have been singles. The O2 swinging foul in and out of the glove of Dylan Dingler. Casey Mai’s name to the All-Star team today. George Kirby’s actually got the Tigers. Had quite a bit of success against in his career. Got to him twice last year in his career against the Tigers. Giving up 24 runs in 22 and two/3 innings. The O2 in the dirt. one and two on Meion. And if you’re Brandon Herurder, you’re not going to get any help there. There isn’t anybody warming in the Tigers bullpen. This is Yep. You got to bear down and know that you don’t like being in those situations, but just keep making your pitches. The one two is swinging a soft ground ball to the left side. Mckinry will charge field flip over to first and he my goodness all just took too long. Astra Bony made it to first and I think AJ Hinch is going to go to a position player. Yeah, I didn’t understand why Zach didn’t go to second. Go to second. I don’t either. I think he thought there were two outs maybe. Yep. That’s the only thing I can think of. could have gotten the out at second base and then he just took a lot of time and the big hits, all the great brats. You got to be kidding me. And all the swagger. Relive the day’s biggest plays all in one lightning fast hour. to hold this show. You better believe it. Quick pitch, late nights and early mornings, only on MLB Network.

Here moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com. Moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921. Smith Corks wanting him to right down the line. It may go crazy folks. Go crazy. It’s a home run and the Cardinals. Still a ball game going to the ninth inning. 5-3. And we were wondering if about a half an hour or so ago whether Dan Wilson would turn to his closer Andre Munoz after throwing 31 pitches last night. Good friend Rick Riz sitting to my left. First pitch strike from Jake Rogers. Good portion of the 41,000 are still here. By golly, they’re going to get their money’s worth. They’re going to cheer every pitch from Jake Rogers, swinging a soft ground ball to short. Jav Bayz will field and flip over to first for the second out. Big cheer again. Salano grounds out. Runners advance to second and third. And that’ll leave it up to Luke. I just love the look on Jake’s face, too. He’s just so relaxed and just having a great old time. First pitch, the 52 mph ephus. It’s the cold strike. There’s an art to that. It’s all the grip, right? Or is it the arm action that you always go back to? Pitching the dirt grip. But he’s just the look is just typical Jake. You know, this got pitch com going here and p the pitches in there. Now the change up. This is a that’s more of a change up than an ephus, right? I mean I I’ve seen him look into Dylan like shaking his head like no I don’t want it. You know now a fast ball zips it in at 81. Oh that was well located down and away. Not going to do much with that pitch, Dan. Oh split finger. split finger. Two two hit him. Oh, knuckler. He threw a knuckle ball. Did he really just throw a knuckle? It was a knuckle ball. Yeah, he took it out of his glove and could see the knuckles. Yeah. Good. No rotating out. Come on. Luke really didn’t even try to get out of the way as we watched the replay. Dan, he just stuck that left leg out. Come on. Get out of the way, Luke. First pitch 60 mph nothing ball to Ben Williamson. You want to see the original Ephus pitch. Rips Su made the All-Star game and threw it in the All-Star game. Line drive to left field. Riley Green comes in, makes the catch and that pitch, by the way, hit out by Ted Williams in that Allstar game. So Jake Rogers strands two looks to the homeplayed umpire James Hoy says you want to check my hands and heads into the dugout. Oh boy. Seattle scores seven. We go to the bottom of the ninth. Let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term. Today’s phrase is oppo taco. Do you know what it means? Combo taco. A home run hit to the opposite field. Austin with an oppo taco.

Juan Bergos takes over on the mound for the Seattle Mariners. A 5-3 game is now a 123 game. Bergos, 25-year-old from the Dominican Republic, making just his third appearance in the major leagues. Yeah. Just made his debut back on July 1st. First pitch fast ball sinks low and away from Zack McKinstry. He’s had a good night. Single walk, two stolen bases. Left-handers have yet to get a hit. So here you go, Zack Reed with his first base hit to a left-handed pitcher hitter. Check swing. Boy, kept the bat back. The body went, but the bat didn’t. On the appeal to third, DJ Raburn says, “Nope, that’s a strike.” Bergos works toward the first base side of the rubber from the stretch. The 1-1 swinging a miss. Good slider under the bat. He’s basically making the jump from double A. 28 innings of work. He gave up just two runs on 10 hits. Double A and then one inning at triple A. Ground ball softly fouled down the first baseline on the one two. Still one and two on Zack McKinstry. Ray Sweeney has grabbed a bat. He will bat next. Parker Meadows will follow 123. Tigers just trying to get out of this one. Still healthy. Everybody healthy. Nobody get hurt this bottom of the ninth. Didn’t get to tomorrow. The one two swinging a slicing drive deep and foul down the left field line. AC will get the start for the Tigers going for his 10th win of the year. Very quietly has put together an allstar first half. remember missed a little bit of time on the injured list. He’ll take a 9 and2 record with a 260 erra to that game tomorrow. One two in the dirt hits Zack McKinstry in the foot. Zack McKinstry hit by the pitch. Reaches for the third time tonight. It’s what he does. He always gets on base somehow some way. Didn’t want to get hit. No, that hurt. You know, I don’t like the way he’s walking. I was going to say, and you make your first All-Star team and I just you think about Byron Buckton. Byron Buckton got smoked the other day by a pitch and he’s getting ready to go to the All-Star game. You’re saying, “Wait a minute.” You know, just just get him healthy through the weekend. Not much protection on the instep of your back left foot. Pitch in the dirt. Trey Sweeney pinch hitting for Dylan Dingler. Pretty good command for Bergos down in the minor leagues again. Was one inning above double A. Just seven walks in his 28 innings with 29 strikeouts. Fast ball down 2-0 on Trey Sweeney. 123 Seattle in the ninth inning. Just a slow steady climb through the minor leagues for this righty. the two 0 miss three straight well below the knees. Three and0 on Sweeney. Well, we’re back to that. Give him a finish, right Dan? You know, just last thing you want to do, Dan Wilson wants to do is get into that bullpen. But you know what? Use another arm. Yeah. Three 0 big miss again. Those are four big misses. No, it’s something the Tigers have talked about a lot challenging their hitters to get better this year. One of the things they’ve talked about, Dan, is finish the game. Finish the game. How many throwaway at bats did you have last year? Absolutely. And while you say, “Well, you should never have a throwaway at bat.” True, but you’re also a human being. And there are blowout games where maybe you have a throwaway at bat. Maybe there’s a game where you’re rushing in from your position and you’re the first guy up and you just grab a bat and get up to home plate, but you haven’t really thought about the at bat. You ground out to short and you’re back at the dugout. So, they challenge them. How about if you cut your throwaway at bats in half this year, and they feel like that has been a a big reason for the consistency of the at bats game to game and the quality of the at bats to tend to feed on each other. But these are the situations, these are the kinds of situations we’re talking about because if you get in the habit of always putting up a good at bat, no matter what the score is or the inning, that leads to really good habits in the games that are close. It’s it’s like you’re saying, it’s like, ah, I’ll get up there and I’ll swing at the first pitch, you know, instead of, hey, if I don’t like that first pitch, I don’t have to swing at it. It’s always, you know, like Riley Green, they’re always talking about he never gives away an at bat, right? Always grinding. Parker Meadow swings and taps the sweeper into the dirt. No balls in two strikes. And make sure that he gets a good pitch to hit. He doesn’t want to go back and hear the wrath of AJ. You know, did you get a good pitch? No, I didn’t care about that at bat. I swung at the first pitch curveball or something, you know. the O2 up and away. And when you always emphasize the quality at bat, and that’s measured in different ways. It’s not just a hit. Did you move a base runner? Did you Did the out say match the intent. In other words, you’re trying to go right field. Maybe you hit a soft fly ball to right field. The one two and swinging a popup down the left field line and long run for Williamson, but he won’t be able to get there. But whatever it might be that leads to the positive at bat, when you constantly talk about that and not say, “Hey, we got to hit with runners in scoring position. Hey, we got to deliver in the big moments.” They never talk about that because if you always emphasize the quality at bat, then when you get to those big moments, all you’re thinking about is I want to have a quality at bat, good at bat, right? I’m taking all the external pressures away. But that’s what the Tigers coaches and AJ try to do so that you can have the best possible at bat in that situation. So, it’s interesting. I mean, there’s so much on the mental side that goes on and this coaching staff does such a good job with these hitters, with these pitchers. I thought that was interesting how they emphasized that and they’ve really seen the results of that on the outside edge. Curve ball at 86 as the outside part of the plate. really out of third. Parker Meadows takes it called third, but it’s winning on the margins. It’s doing all all of the little things. How many little things are there that if you get better at all those little things add up to big things? And and there’s so many great examples of of how they’re winning on the margins and all the little things that they’re doing well. Ground ball deep third, backhanded by Williamson. He’ll flip down to second for one and then to first. Not in time to get Jav Bayz, man. Williamson’s, this is the first time we’ve looked at him. Williamson’s actions at third are quite smooth. They’re quick, too. Yeah, I was going to say they made that a lot closer over at first base than I know the Tigers wanted. Jav Bayz just barely beating that return throw to first base. So it’s McKitry at third, bias at first, two outs and leave it up to Colt Keith. First pitch swinging a miss. There’ll be a concert after the game.

Cutter 94 goes down under the bat. And the Tigers are down to their last strike. 0 for four for Keith tonight. See if he can finish on a high note with a base hit behind O2. Upright relaxed stance. The O2 pitch check swing didn’t hold up in time. Keith strikes out and the Mariners take the first game of this weekend series. 5-3 game became a 123 game with a sevenrun ninth inning.
