Well, let me tell ya ’bout these Tigers and Mets. Don’t know much about fancy baseball stuff, but I can tell ya what I see.
Them Tigers, they been playing some games, and the Mets, well, they ain’t doin’ so hot, lost their first three games, bless their hearts. Folks are sayin’ the Tigers might keep winnin’, or maybe the Mets will get their act together at home. Heard somethin’ ‘bout “minus one thirty-five,” sounds like some kinda money thing, betting or somethin’, I ain’t got no time for that.
Now, they talkin’ ‘bout who’s gonna throw the ball. That’s important, I guess. They call it “starting pitcher matchup.” Sounds fancy, huh? It’s like, who’s gonna stand on that little hill and throw the ball real hard. They got names, these fellas, but I can’t hardly remember ‘em. Too many syllables for this old woman.
- One fella, they say he’s the best pitcher in the world, this Tarik Skubal fella. Wins a bunch of games and throws strikes, whatever that means. Had some kinda surgery on his arm, but he’s doin’ alright now. Good for him.
- Then there’s another fella, Tyler Holton. They used him to start a game, didn’t let nobody hit the ball much. That’s good, right? Keepin’ them fellas from hittin’ the ball.
They got a whole bunch of these pitchers, Beau somethin’ or other, Jason, Sean, all these young fellas. Guess they take turns throwin’ the ball. Seems like a lot of work to me.
They’re playin’ in somethin’ called Queens, must be a big city somewhere. And they talk about Comerica Park, maybe that’s where the Tigers play. Too much travelin’ if you ask me. Should just play in one place and be done with it.
Folks are always lookin’ at the past, seein’ who won before. They call it “historic matchup records” and “real-time lines and odds”. Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. What happened yesterday ain’t gonna help you today, that’s what I always say. But these fellas, they like to look at the numbers, I guess.
Heard someone mention October and some team called the Houston Astros, winnin’ a bunch. Don’t know what that has to do with the Tigers and Mets, maybe they’ll play them later on. Baseball season is long, goes on forever, it seems.
Then there’s this talk about predictions and percentages. They sayin’ some team has a fifty-five point six percent chance of winnin’. How they figure that out, I have no idea. It’s just a game, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That’s life, ain’t it?
So, if you ask me, who’s gonna win this Tigers Mets game? I ain’t got a clue. It all depends on who throws the ball better and who hits the ball harder. And maybe a little bit of luck. That’s all there is to it. Don’t need no fancy numbers or predictions to tell you that.
But I tell ya what, it’s nice to see these fellas out there, runnin’ around and havin’ fun. Gives us somethin’ to watch, somethin’ to talk about. And that’s good enough for me.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about baseball has made me hungry. Hope them Tigers and Mets fellas eat good too, they need their strength to hit that ball.
Game predictions ain’t easy, ya know. It’s like predictin’ the weather, sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong, and most of the time, you just gotta wait and see what happens. That’s how I see it, simple as that.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about these Tigers and Mets. Hope they have a good game, and nobody gets hurt. That’s the most important thing, stayin’ safe and healthy.
