Given that we needed someone to put the ball in play and Pena recent propensity for striking out, I didn't like the move. Second, while I was not at the game, I loved hearing the trumpet/horn in the background getting the crown fired up instead of blaring music. It reminded me of hockey games at the Montreal Forum - very old school. Two things – First, I was not happy when Tram put Pena to hit for Thames last night.

Not sure what the exact benefit is but it sure worked for Sparky. <br> <br>Having said that, Billfer's note that Logan in the leadoff spot means more Nook Time and less Some Other Guy Time at the plate is most prescient. It may not have a huge impact, but I'd still rather the extra PA's go to better hitters. Leave Nook in The Nine Hole.

Sports bars have to pay extra fees to show sports games on tv, Tigers probably don't pay those fees because they don't expect to be showing them.
