They were considered a dark horse World series finalist in 2020, and were in the wild card game as recently as the last week of August last year. The sell-off was very quick

Weird, small sample size, stat.  Tigers have played 3 doubleheaders this year. They are 3-0, scoring 7.3 rpg in Game 1, and 0-3, scoring 1.3 rpg in Game 2

I'd be more apt to go to games were they not now in the worst traffic area of the city with no MARTA.  I haven't figured out the bus yet.

But I really prefer watching on TV anyway now.

For sure with football, baseball I'd rather be there.  I don't think you lose viewing experience by being there, like you do in football, and I like being at the park

When I was at the park, I noticed a lot of fans either looking down at their phones during plays or up at the big screen, not on the field.

Astros Verlander throws a 1 hitter for 8 innings against the Twins last night

He faced the minimum number of batters of 24

Not bad for a 39 year old after Tommy Johns surgery

The complete game today is almost nonexistent.

So is bunting.
