ChatGPT is WAY better at peotry than I would ever care to be... 

Brewed for Victory
by a fan with hops in their heart

In Motown’s lair, the Tigers roared,
But Alex took the mound, adored.
With every pitch, he carved the plate—
A barley breeze, a foamy fate.

Skubal stirred with fiery might,
But Brewers bats brewed up delight.
They tapped his keg, uncorked the game,
Each swing a toast in Milwaukee’s name.

A slider sudsy, fastball crisp,
He poured them tall, no need to tip.
The Tigers sipped on bitter hops—
Three up, three down, no way to stop.

The scoreboard fizzed, the fans did cheer,
A win on tap, so cold, so clear.
Raise up your steins, let spirits flow—
A Brew Crew bash, Skubal laid low.

[yourout]

Important game to stop the streak. 

Don't want things to get rolling in the wrong direction. 

One thing they did exceptionally well last year was avoiding losing streaks

An AI generating spam versus an AI trying to eradicate it will evolve into skynet and nuke the whole planet.

Let's go Todd!

Not exactly the matchup you want to see trying to prevent a losing streak.

A hot team with their Cy Youngaward-winning ace on the mound. A lefty no less.

 

[kevinisaname]

Well, this is a bad start. Terrible 0-2 pitch.

[RobertCrawley]

Man, they are hitting Todd the Painter hard.

[wibadgers23]

A two run lead against Skubal seems insurmountable for this offense.  How is Detroit's bullpen?

[RobertCrawley]

Screwball stands no chance against Action Jackson.

Edit: Never mind.

[BruisedCrew]

Might be looking for alternative entertainment tonight.

Skubal probably has all the runs he needs and there will probably be more the way the Tigers were pounding Alexander.

Was debating on turning the game on but on second thought I think I'm just going to get some work done and follow it online

[willie key]

Somebody DM me when yelich starts playing like last year.    
 

this team isn’t a contender without that

 

[yfinn6]

Gonna be one to turn off tonight.

I'm hoping Todd gives a good showing after that tough first inning. We're going to need him in the coming weeks.

And now our Landmark Credit Union defense let us down.

[BruisedCrew]

It’s take one for the club night for Alexander.

[edfunderburk]

Not worth my time …

I will watch Gunsmoke or The Andy Griffith Show & check the score every so often

I hate it when we get in a funk & play horrible baseball over several games
