I’m pretty disappointed in Canha recently. He is supposed to be the on-base guy with plate discipline, and I’m not seeing that at all.

C'mon Tork - people are going to think you're not a good defender.

I love that mods on this forum are shitty trolls. Main reason most people left this site.

Yeah because of me. Give me a break. You just have no humor.

 

[gotime909]

Way foul, but good to see tork finally crush a ball.

 

[Mitchrapp]

4-3.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ugh.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ooh, big k.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh man, great catch by Perez.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh my gosh.. 3-0 three straight strikes, Javy doesn't swing at any of them.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh well, 4-3 final.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I always thought Javy would be better if he just didn't swing. I was wrong.

 

[biggunsbob]

Of course Meadows pop ups on 1st pitch with 1 out 2nd and 3rd. Way to kill a rally

Wow
The Tigers haven’t given up two or more unearned runs in four straight games since 1989, but they managed it today.

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

Catching home run balls has become a controversial topic over the past couple years. And recently the story about the Dodgers bullying a couple over handing over a Shohei Ohtani HR ball caught national attention.
There is the debate over HRs that represent a significant moment for a hitter. But there is also another controversy that has been gaining traction within the baseball world.
And it has to do with kids.

In the past, if you caught a ball – whether it was a fair or foul one – it was yours to keep. Today, there is a lot of pressure from fans in the stands to give it up to a child.
What should be the proper etiquette for adults who catch balls?

What should be the proper etiquette for adults who catch balls?

1. You catch it, you keep it.

2. The adult should be free to keep it or give it away without being pressured.

3. The kids should get the ball in the majority of cases.

I'm 58, never caught a ball in hundreads of games. If I catch one I'll take a selfie, I need proof, and then probably give it away. But no one should have to be pressured to give it to a child..

 

[tomdalton22]

for me, a foul ball should always be given to a kid. A HR, that might be a different story. If I catch one that is hit by a really good player, I keep it to give to my grandson.

Unless the fans pressure you into giving up. How do they know you have a grandson? That should never happen..

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Shouldn't have to give it to a kid.

 

[gotime909]

F that, whoever catches it should decide what to do with it. Kid wants a ball, go catch one.
