Looking at cutting the cord with cable. I am leaning towards YoutubeTV. The only problem is I don't see Bally Sports on it. Anybody have any insight?

I've switched from one to another the past 4 years, just restarted YouTube TV again. But no Bally Sports, I still think that's a dumb name but most streaming services don't have it these days .. YouTube TV used to it at one time but now its either Fubo TV, or At&t and I'm not sure neither has all so you'll have to search.

It was a year ago when I got it and then they took it off shortly after. I've since got at&t TV and it has it. It was the only streaming service that carried it wjen I was looking.

Looking more it seams At&T is the only one with Bally Sports Detroit.

And the reason it's not on more is because the new owners, Sinclair I think charging too much. They all had it at one point.

The weird thing about Tarik Skubal is he still has so much room to improve.
Two walks and two HBP today. Also 7 K in five innings, 17 whiffs from the Astros on 33 swings.
Then he pitched the 6th.

Tigers trail 1 - 0 bottom of the 6th inning,

Skubal 6 IP 1 run 1 hit 2 BB 8 K's,

Tigers don't seem to be able to hit odorizzi ever.

Prior to today?s game vs. Houston, the Tigers announced the following roster moves:

*Placed RHP Michael Fulmer on the 10-day IL with a right cervical spine strain.

*Recalled LHP Miguel Del Pozo from Triple A Toledo.


The pitchers are dropping like flies. The Detroit Tigers now have 3 of the rumored 5 trade chips on the IL.

Tigers tie the game up bottom of the 7th.

Tarik Skubal
102 pitches
21 swinging strikes
36% CSW%

Per the Detroit Tigers media relations staff (prior to yesterday?s double-header), Akil Baddoo is one of 17 rookies with at least 140 at-bats, and he ranks first in OPS (.880) and walk rate (13.2%), second in batting average (.282) and slugging percentage (.506) and third in OBP (.374) and stolen bases (8).

Suicide fkn squeeze baby!!!

Nice to win one of these low scoring games against a top team.

Tigers take 5 wins this season series vs. the astros is that right?
The 3 wins sweep earlier and now a split with 2 more wins.

For the first time in a long time this team is playing watchable baseball. If they add 50m salary on a SS plus a bat or 2 this team could possibly contend next year.

I'm hoping Hinch can lure Correa. Extend Schoop. Tork up in a year or so. IF could have some pop! :hitter:

According to Baseball Reference:

This was the fourth Tigers walk-off sacrifice bunt since at least 1916, most recently occurring in 1977.

The last walk-off sacrifice bunt in the Major Leagues was by the Royals on September 10, 2018.
