If you want a moment that perfectly encapsulates this season, it happened in the bottom of the second inning of tonight’s game. While the Tigers trailed two, Johnny Kane had a little chat with Pistons coach Dwane Casey. In the midst of Gibby getting Kane to ask questions about participating in warmups, Candelario hit a single to score Haase. The only mention from the broadcast booth was “A single to left.” Not a word about the scoring run. Instead they continued to talk about basketball, and as Kane wrapped with Casey he declared “Oh, we missed it!” to the Tigers scoring the tying run on a Willi Castro groundout that scored Carpenter.
