.

What I mean by this is that regardless of record this team is just uninspiring to watch, even when they were treading near .500…losing teams are fun to watch when it’s like 2021 or 2022 when the team was on the rise and there was hope for players like Mize and Badooo. 2024 and start of 2025 was fun cause it felt like we still hasn’t reached our ceiling and you could see the players having fun. However this year, whether it be the players, the fans, the energy at comerica park…the entire vibe is depressing. Seems like everyone involved has realized we’ve hit our ceiling and just accepted it. We had a small window open to make big moves and contend, but Harris let that window fly by and now we’re closer to a rebuild than WS contention…which no one has the appetite for after we just finished a decade long rebuild.

I didn’t realize it until tonight but you can go into the options and change the audio to either team’s radio broadcast and they sync it up perfectly. Personally, I much prefer listening to Dickerson than the Apple TV crew!

Just thought I’d share!
