Ps BTW I can not get a video to play of the tag out play. Not only MLB has not talked about it! Cover up, cover up, cover up!
They claim to have had conclusive video proof, yet won't show anyone, I think they are full of shit.

what a shitty day for a baseball game.
Nice outing by Boyd. The Tiger's hitters didn't show up.
Iggy...eeks, hitting 0.063 so far. Rough start!

Mahtook had a lousy spring and isn't doing much with the bat either.
Need to go back to calling him Meathook again. Worked last year.

After he led the A.L. with 10 triples last year, Nicholas Castellanos is on his way to besting that feat in 2018.
Monday, he legged out a triple for the 2nd straight game, the 2nd time in his career he has tripled in back-to-back games (Aug. 9-10, 2017).

Today's man bear pig event will be made up with a Double Header on April 20th

The Detroit Tigers are postponed again. This is garbage.
30-degree weather. Wind gusts. Snow showers. How is any of this good for baseball? How do the Tigers benefit?
The Detroit Tigers postponed today's game.
In other news, water is wet.
For the third time in less than a week, the Tigers had to reschedule a game at Comerica Park due to inclement weather. And by "inclement weather," we mean near-freezing temperatures, occasional snow showers and 30-mile-an-hour winds that, given all the empty seats at the park, would slap you in the face like a line drive.
Fantastic. Play ball!
And you know what? It's a miracle we're only at three postponements. Tuesday's game was so miserable, it ended in 2 hours and 19 minutes. It drizzled almost the entire time. The temperature topped out in the upper 30s. There were maybe several hundred fans in the seats. And only one run was scored — you guessed it, not by the Tigers — because batters weren't working at-bats. Even they wanted to get the game over with.
Can you blame them? Who would pay to go see this? In what world are these considered acceptable baseball conditions?
It's difficult to blame the Tigers here. This is the sort of thing that happens when MLB schedules long home stands in cold-weather cities starting in late March. A big reason for the early start to the season was to give teams more days off, but it's already backfiring. Now the Tigers have to play their second doubleheader in three weeks on April 20.
And you all know about Michigan weather. Who knows if it'll even cooperate that day?
Perhaps the people most left out in the cold on this are the fans. While having a better baseball team would help, barely anyone showed up to Comerica Park on Tuesday. The announced attendance may have been 15,083, but you would've been lucky to count a thousand people in the seats. And many of them fled those seats once it started raining.
Even the $10 draft beer won't keep you warm in that garbage.
So is there a solution to all this? Not a readily available one. There's no chance MLB shortens the 162-game slate. You could argue the league should schedule more home games for warm-weather clubs (or teams with domed stadiums) in early April. Problem is, that could mean more road games down the stretch for those clubs, which they feel may present a competitive disadvantage.
So here we are. The good news is the Tigers finally leave Comerica Park after today. The bad news is, instead, they'll play in frigid Chicago and Cleveland the next 7 days. In fact, they don't travel south for any games until May!

today it's about 18 degrees colder than the average high for April 4th. Add in the wind...not a good day for baseball.
