2021 MLB Regular Season thread

From being sad about Pujols? That's a lot of feels.

 

Nothing going on in Seattle.

Leadoff batter in ninth walks.

 

Two outs to go.

 

Runner forced at second. One to go.

 

Got it ... and the night's most amazing stat, perhaps.

 

As a Tigers fan who hasn't had much to enjoy from this club in the last four years, that was fun, and Turnbull is a fellow member of Team Ginger to boot. Guy's now in his third MLB season. Nothing special but was always serviceable (lost 17 games in 2019, but I suppose that means they wanted to put him out there 17 times) and seems to be steadily getting better.

As an aside, he's also the first no-hitter pitcher I've ever seen turn up in the mentions of an athlete I covered. Nice girl, does some modeling, but I think she's more into hockey players.

 

Well, the Mariners made it worth your while to stay up late, Tiger fans.

Second time Seattle has been no-hit in the past two weeks. And there's still two-thirds of a season full of bad swings left.
