DETROIT — Had he been speaking to a group of Detroit media members, Astros manager Dusty Baker’s post-game comment would have triggered alarms.
When asked to comment on Riley Greene’s 424-foot out, a blast that would have been a go-ahead, eighth-inning home run in 28 other parks, Baker said he heard the Tigers were going to bring the fences in this offseason.
Bally Sports Detroit analyst and Tigers’ icon Kirk Gibson said the same thing in a passing comment on the broadcast Monday.
