00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.719
I saw somebody tweet out the other
day and do you agree with this Rolling

2
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.960
Stones rankings of greatest guitar as Ever, Alex Lifson was not in there for

3
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.280
Rush and this is a Rush song
in case you didn't know, so I

4
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.000
thought, exactly, how is he
not in there? Or George Lynch for

5
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.479
crying out loud? These guys are
great guitarists. George Lynch is phenomenal if

6
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:51.159
he played in dock and then the
Lynch Mobinstone. Welcome back, ex'es and

7
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.799
bros. Glad you're with us on
this Tuesday morning. Myer hotline eight sixty

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.520
six eight three eight forty eight forty
three. Here's another way you almost know.

9
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:08.040
The Tigers are venturing into irrelevancy,
which is really too bad. More

10
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.200
people are starting to watch for the
opponent than they are their team. That's

11
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:25.239
one and number two. The passion
or disappointment, frustration, being upset is

12
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.920
no longer there. You've got two
months left of strictly Tigers baseball, now

13
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.760
that the Stanley Cup Finals is over, now that the NBA Finals is over.

14
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.120
You're not calling me to talk about
the European Championships in soccer. You're

15
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:51.040
not gonna call me about Wimbledon.
I doubt you're gonna call me about maybe

16
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.040
the Rocket Mortgage Classic. I hope
so if it means that much to you.

17
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.400
But golf, some majors are winding
down, right, You've got two

18
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.359
months of baseball. It's gonna be
baseball talk. And again, you've listened

19
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.120
to the show long enough. I
don't like being the guy who says,

20
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.560
you know, let's just complain about
it. Let's just sit here, open

21
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.280
the microphone and bitch left and right
about why the Tigers aren't any good again

22
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.080
this year. I hate doing that. But I mean, that's the reason

23
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:29.719
we talk about the Tigers is because
it's something that seems to matter to you,

24
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:37.560
and because that's what's going on in
our world of sports, you and

25
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.240
me. That's what's happening. You're
not talking about Team USA cricket, even

26
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.479
though that ended, and I doubt
you're talking about the Olympics. Okay,

27
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:52.120
I just if you are, the
phone line's open for you. You can

28
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.080
text US Sports Radio to twenty one
thousand. I just don't think that's what's

29
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.960
on your mind. I think what's
on your mind is how's this going to

30
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.800
turn around? And I don't think
you mean for this year. I think

31
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:10.039
you mean in general. Where do
you see the proverbial light at the end

32
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.479
of the tunnel, Folks, this
is not the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons

33
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:22.319
are young, right, second youngest
team in the NBA. So you understand

34
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:29.719
the growing pains there. Oh,
it's hard. Seventeen wins last year,

35
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:38.800
fourteen wins this year. That is
that is brutal to go through. But

36
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.080
the Tigers are different. The Tigers
are a lot different. It's not like

37
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:53.080
they're super young. Think about it. Is Andy Banias young and I'm I

38
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:59.039
mean like within their first few years. No Matt Vierling, no Mark Canna,

39
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.800
no Overchella, no Carson Kelly,
no Jack Flaherty. No, I

40
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.520
mean we go on and on and
on. There are some young guys Cole

41
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.960
Keith who started to turn things around, which is great, not defensively but

42
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:20.079
offensively. Riley Green still to a
certain extent, right Carry Carpenter went healthy.

43
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:30.680
Jake Rogers. No, they're not
a young team. Certain places around

44
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:39.680
the diamond are inexperienced, but they're
not a young team. Ask yourself this,

45
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.439
do you really believe that Jake Let's
use Jake Rodgers as an example.

46
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.319
All right, even though he didn't
play last night, it was Carson Kelly,

47
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.720
and I think he had a couple
of hits. But Jake Rogers,

48
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:56.040
is he young? Yes or no? Ask yourself that he's twenty nine.

49
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.519
I don't know if you know that
he's twenty nine years old. Now he's

50
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.720
only had seven hundred at bats.
So in that sense, you may say,

51
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.920
well, he's young. I look
at it like he's in experience,

52
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:16.160
but he's not young. Twenty nine. You're supposed to be in your prime?

53
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.920
Is that fair? What is your
prime? Your prime is somewhere depending.

54
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.399
I mean not all major leaguers.
I wouldn't say twenty four, but

55
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.279
I would say twenty five or so. Okay, by then you should have

56
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.160
a couple of years under your belt. But let's say twenty five, twenty

57
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.240
six to thirty, that's your prime. It doesn't mean he can't play past

58
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.600
it, because there's plenty of really
good players, plenty of really good players

59
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:53.240
who are playing in their thirties and
are outstanding. Like Bryce Harper, he's

60
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:58.319
thirty one. Is he still in
his prime? He's a superstar. So

61
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.480
I suppose you could say he's still
in his prime. But that dude was

62
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.839
MVP at age twenty two. Now
that again, this is an unfair kind

63
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:12.920
of a high bar. He was
also MVP at age twenty eight. Those

64
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:18.199
are prime years for him. So
if I said, Jake Rogers, you'd

65
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.480
love the prime years to be twenty
five to thirty, I think that's fair

66
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.920
talking about a seven year window twenty
five, twenty six, twenty seven,

67
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:34.040
twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty
six year window. Sorry, it's not

68
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.600
there. He's twenty nine, he's
bet in two o five, he's got

69
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:44.600
a name base percentage of two sixty, he's got a slug of three forty.

70
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:51.360
Come on, seriously, what are
we doing here? Everyone talks about,

71
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:59.879
Oh, I've come to conclusion about
this young player, Parker Meadows or

72
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.399
Spencer Torkelsen. Right, this is
what we get. You know, Parker

73
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.399
Meadows, Sorry shep don't want him, blah blah blah blah blah. Okay,

74
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.879
Parker Meadows is twenty four. Parker
Meadows in his career, has two

75
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.279
hundred at bats in the major league
level. You're gonna judge him on two

76
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.759
hundred at bats. I'm not.
I'm not giving up on him. Doesn't

77
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.920
mean that I think he should be
starting every game, and he should be

78
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:33.439
up here right now. No,
I'm just telling you I would not watch

79
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:40.680
that ship sail yet. I don't
know how people can come to such a

80
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:46.639
conclusion so quickly when a he's twenty
four b he only has you know,

81
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.720
two hundred major League at bats,
and one hundred and twenty five of him

82
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:56.319
came last year. Now, he
didn't deserve to stay up here because he

83
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:01.360
was batting under one hundred. But
that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to come

84
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.560
back up here. When ready?
Have you ask yourself this? Have you

85
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:16.920
seen enough of a kiel Bado.
He's twenty five, but he's got a

86
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.680
thousand or close to one thousand major
League at bats. I've told you this

87
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.920
before. People who are smarter than
me about baseball have said, you probably

88
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.240
need somewhere in the neighborhood of fifteen
hundred. When we Ginly loans on with

89
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.639
our show a couple of weeks ago, I asked him that and he said,

90
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.320
fifteen hundred sounds about right. Remember
that, Okay, Well, Akil

91
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.399
Badou is getting close to that.
He might get that this year, probably

92
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.480
not. He won't get five hundred
bets but he'll probably get something close to

93
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.240
that. Then maybe you can make
the judgment. Maybe you could turn that

94
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.519
around and say, well, if
you believe in that chep, there's no

95
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:05.879
way you believe Jake Rogers is who
he is. You don't believe in that

96
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.279
because it's not fifteen hundred at bats, it's only seven hundred. He's twenty

97
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:18.840
nine, dangerously close. He's four
years older than a guy like keekil ba

98
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.559
Do. And I've seen enough of
aekil Bado, quite honestly, I have.

99
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.639
I've had I've seen the swing and
miss, I've seen the lack of

100
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.679
adjustment. I am done. This
team is not young. This team is

101
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:43.399
not good. There's a big difference. You can excuse it if they're young,

102
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.120
but they've got too much experience on
this team to be this bad.

103
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.559
It's flawed. It's as simple as
that. Myer hotline eighty sixty six eight

Sports every week comes out with a
power rankings for Baseball. Why, I

129
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.080
don't know. I mean they've got
to fill time or space I should say

130
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.639
on their website. I mean they've
got all these different sports that people are

131
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.679
writing about, so you've got to
give them something. And it gives us

132
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.360
something to talk about, quite honestly, so I actually appreciate it. But

133
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.519
you know, teams are going to
have some bad days, some bad series,

134
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.320
maybe a bad week. You know, New York was flying high and

135
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.480
then they they ran into some rough
times. The Dodgers have run into some

136
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.759
rough times. So it's abound to
happen. The really good teams bounce back

137
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.159
and become a lot more consistent,
as consistent as you can in baseball.

138
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.840
It's so damn difficult over such a
long stretch. So for a team,

139
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.600
for example, like the Yankees to
be, you know, fifty two and

140
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.240
twenty eight, to have a winning
percentage of sixty five percent, that's super

141
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:05.559
impressive. Baltimore a winning percentage of
sixty three percent, more home wins than

142
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.600
anybody else in the division, Really
impressive for Cleveland. I don't know if

143
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.600
people realize this. If I said
to you, who has the most home

144
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:22.080
wins in the American League? What
would your answer be? Now, maybe

145
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.919
you think I just gave it away
when I said Cleveland. It's not Cleveland.

146
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.039
It's actually Seattle. But Cleveland is
right there. Cleveland's got twenty six

147
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.000
home wins, they're twenty four and
seventeen on the road, and their run

148
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.879
differential is right their rivals, the
Yankees. They're a plus one oh five

149
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.639
in the run differential. The Yankees
are a plus one oh nine. They're

150
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:58.919
the most impressive team this year,
I think, and I suppose a lot

151
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.200
of that has to do with the
fact that I didn't expect much from them.

152
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.799
Boy was I wrong. And I
think a lot of people were wrong,

153
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:16.159
and I suppose it could change,
but it's been really eye opening,

154
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:26.799
especially a team that think about it. They've got Tanner Biby, Logan Allen,

155
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:35.440
Tristan McKenzie, and Carlos Carrasco as
their starters. And who's the other

156
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.919
one? Ben Lively? Right?
Okay, yeah Lively? Because I think

157
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:45.799
Lively's got seven wins? I think
he's does he lead their team? Logan

158
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:50.639
Allen might lead their team in wins? But that's how many people? Honestly,

159
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.320
how many? How many of those
guys are All Stars? Forget the

160
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.399
voting of the All Stars? How
many if you were a major league player

161
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:05.279
and you had the vote. Tanner
Bibe's six and two, Logan Allen is

162
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.960
eight and three, Ben Lively seven
and three? Any of them going to

163
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.519
the We scream about how great Terrek
Schouble is, and he is? What

164
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:22.120
about Tanner Bybee? What about Logan
Allen? No, because Logan Allen's got

165
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.039
an ERA of over five, but
he gets run support, doesn't he?

166
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:37.639
Unlike many Tigers pitchers Jose Ramirez,
It's been a decent bounce back year for

167
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:45.720
Andre Semenez. Right, Josh Naylor's
been big for them twenty bombs. They

168
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:54.320
got forty home runs between Ramirez and
Freeman or Ramirez and Naylor. Forty homers

169
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.879
between those two guys. Twenty homers
for Ramirez, twenty homers for Naylor.

170
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.639
Life is pretty good in Cleveland.
Right. Who leads the Tigers in home

171
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:15.440
runs? Any idea? What comes
to mind? Riley Green? Yeah,

172
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:26.360
Riley Green leads him in home runs
with fifteen. Nobody else has double digits.

173
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:34.720
Think about that. Naylor and Ramirez
have twenty homers each. Riley Green's

174
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:42.639
got fifteen. Next closest is Matt
Vierling with nine. Carry Carpenter who's missed

175
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:49.159
what twenty games? Twenty two games, twenty seven games due to injury?

176
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:59.360
Carry Carpenter has eight. I told
you this before the season began. I

177
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:07.960
said this team lacks middle of the
order power. It continues to be an

178
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:17.880
issue. It was never addressed.
They didn't address it. They thought playing

179
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:26.319
with versatile players, guys who can
give us flexibility, would be good enough.

180
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:37.200
They were wrong, overplayed their hand. I do not care. I'm

181
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.839
gonna say this almost every day.
You can turn down the radio, you

182
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.039
can change the station if you want. You can shake your head, you

183
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.920
can roll your eyes, you can
call in or text in and say I'm

184
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.000
tired of hearing it. I don't
care. I'm going to continue to say

185
00:17:48.000 --> 00:18:00.240
it. You need every day players
to win. You also need versatile players

186
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.319
as part of your roster to win, but not as many as Detroit has.

187
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:15.319
You're never gonna convince me otherwise.
Show me the last world champion who's

188
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:25.599
gotten the crown with all role players
rules probably unfair versatile players. Or are

189
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:33.079
they playing with guys who every day
for the most part, one hundred and

190
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.960
fifty five games of the one to
sixty two, that manager is going at

191
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.480
third base, This is my guy
at shortstop, This is my guy at

192
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.960
second base, this is my guy. You're going to rotate an outfielder or

193
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.119
two, you'll rotate a catcher because
of the workload, and maybe you'll give

194
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.839
a guy in the infield the day
off once in a while. But the

195
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:04.440
really good teams, the world champion
chip teams are using every day players,

196
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.480
and the teams to try and gloss
over that and try to use a different

197
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.799
formula are just doing it out of
desperation because they don't have every day players.

198
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:23.519
And that's part of the problem with
the Tigers. Have you looked at

199
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:30.720
the minor league system. Can you
tell me the next really good shortstop that

200
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:40.640
the Tigers will have? You know
why you can't? You can't because they

201
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:48.160
don't have one. Yeah, they
don't have one. That's the problem.

202
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.960
When when you sit there and you
go, okay, I really think the

203
00:19:53.039 --> 00:20:00.319
Tigers are going to be good this
time or at this stage whatever, this

204
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.759
year, I ask you. I
oftentimes ask people, can you can you

205
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:10.799
give me a reason why? Just
asking for a reason why, it's fair,

206
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.440
right, I think it's it's fair
to to request that, Okay,

207
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.799
and they feel like, well,
I mean, we've got some good young

208
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:26.000
hitters coming up. Okay, I'll
buy that. How about the uh,

209
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.599
how about the players in general?
I mean, how about the how about

210
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.559
the everyday players? You got them? You got them coming up? No?

211
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:41.160
Why not? Oh? Because they're
not there. Because there are certain

212
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:49.839
positions, there are certain key positions
you gotta have, and the Tigers don't

213
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:56.720
have them in their system. That's
the unfortunate part. I wish they did,

214
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:03.960
I really do, But they don't
have them. They're trying to create

215
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.720
them. And that doesn't mean you
can't acquire them. By the way,

216
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.359
you can go out there and get
a shortstop and pay a lot of money

217
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.480
for it. You can go out
there and get one. That's great,

218
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.119
and I encourage you to do that. The problem is you'll have to do

219
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.279
that because you don't have one.
I've heard people say, well, Kevin

220
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:25.519
McGonagall, I mean he's the kid
out of high school who last year was

221
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:32.119
a first round pick thirty seventh overall. I believe Max Clark third overall,

222
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.119
and then mcgonagal I thought he was
more of a second baseman. He was

223
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.240
a shortstop in high school. All
the best players are playing shortstop in high

224
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:45.319
school. We're up against it.
Quick time out. It's twenty eight after

conversation on the other side on axes and

bros. After this, he and
cheer for my good friend Matt Golden.

Top of the hour. Jason Langwile,

250
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:36.680
the executive producer of The Rocket Mortgage
Classic, will join us. That's

251
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.960
the pit stop for the PGA this
weekend in Detroit at Detroit Golf Club.

252
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:48.519
So I love that track, it
doesn't always love me. And the guys

253
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:51.720
who will go out there and play, I mean Ricky following company, and

254
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:55.359
they got a good field this year. They tear it up. I mean

255
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.440
they're throwing darts left and right.
It's like the Travelers last weekend. I

256
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:02.559
mean, what a cot. What
a contrast, huh, the contrast from

257
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:08.240
the US Open where the scoring was
really difficult. The winner finishes at six

258
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:14.480
hundred par and then the next week
a lot of those same guys are playing

259
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:19.960
the Travelers and the winning score is
twenty two under. I do have a

260
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.559
question for you, and then we're
going to get to some texts and you

261
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.640
can text us at sports Radar twenty
one thousand. You can call the Meyer

262
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.119
hotline eight eight three, eight forty
eight forty three. I'm trying to make

263
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:38.519
it a conscious effort not to talk
Tigers all the time. I welcome your

264
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.960
comments. I love the interaction with
you. I do, but I think

265
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:51.880
sometimes it's it's borderline low hanging fruit, and it's it's one big punching bag.

266
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.160
And I've always been a guy,
and I've been criticized for this,

267
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:02.599
and that's fine, but I've been
criticized for being more of understanding, not

268
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.559
an apologist, but understanding of what
players and managers and coaches have to go

269
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:11.200
through. I've been very fortunate in
my career to be around them for a

270
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:18.480
lot game day practices, film rooms, really fortunate to be able to kind

271
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:25.599
of tap into their expertise and try
to understand what it takes to be successful

272
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:32.799
and win and be consistent. And
I know it's not always easy. I

273
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.839
am tired, and I'm sure you
are too. I am tired of another

274
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:44.880
baseball season going by in a sport
that I love and a franchise that I

275
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:52.799
love historically. Don't love the people
run in right now, but historically the

276
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.759
franchise that I love run by people
who look I can't expect everybody to be

277
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:02.960
from Detroit, but I don't think
that. I don't think they appreciate what

278
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.599
you and I appreciate about the team
or the franchise. I've felt that way

279
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.279
for a long time, quite honestly. I mean, this is this is

280
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.319
who we grew up rooting for,
This is who we love like with our

281
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:26.079
hearts. Love them, But I'm
tired of waiting for them to be really

282
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.240
good, because they should be.
I'm tired of looking at a payroll of

283
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.920
one hundred and six million dollars and
it's in the lower half of the major

284
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:42.359
leagues and it's wrong. I'm tired
of them making wrong draft picks, tired

285
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:49.480
of them not being able to develop
good everyday players. I'm tired of hearing

286
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:56.319
about let's win today's game. And
I know you have to feel that way,

287
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:57.599
you know, if you're the if
you're the manager, if you're a

288
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:04.359
jhnch, you have to stay that
course. But it does get really old

289
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:12.440
because you're not winning today's game,
and because you're doing things that prevent you

290
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:21.079
from winning today's game. So I
mean, there are people who are buddy

291
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.559
of mine called me last night and
He's like, hey, what's going on

292
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:29.880
with the hitting? Coaches? Like, look, I get it, how

293
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.799
about the players, man, I
know you can't change all the players,

294
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:38.559
but for God's sakes, can you
collect more than seven hits? Did you

295
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.799
see the run? I mean you
know they're scoring. They score double digits,

296
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:47.200
then they score one and two and
one and zero and one and zero,

297
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:49.240
and then they score double digits,
and then they score one and two.

298
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:56.640
I mean, it's it's ridiculous.
They are not a very good,

299
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:07.200
fundamentally sound team. I don't think
you and I can't accept the losing if

300
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:12.720
they're fundamentally sound, but at least
there's something on which you can build.

301
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.519
You don't see that right now,
do you? I know, neither do

302
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:23.640
I mentally or physically. And that's
why I started the program. What did

303
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.559
I say? I said, these
are the games, or these are the

304
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:34.920
moments the triple play, These are
the moments that reinforce your belief when you're

305
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.839
hanging out Friday Saturday night with your
buddies, whatever it may be. I

306
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.960
don't know if it's a yukre game, I don't know, if it's a

307
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.480
bar night, I don't know if
it's people come over to your house for

308
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.119
a barbecue. I don't know if
you're going out for dinner and then coming

309
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.440
back to your house for drinks whatever, when you're talking to them and you're

310
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:53.960
going you know, I just don't
see it with this team. I don't

311
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.519
think they're fundamentally sound. I don't
think they're as engaged as they need to

312
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.920
be. You can go on and
on and on about stuff, but you

313
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:07.640
know what, last night's game is
a perfect example of all the things you

314
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:15.880
thought. If you said they're not
engaged, they're not fundamentally sound. Boom.

315
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:19.759
There's the McKinstry example. If you
say they haven't been very good at

316
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:26.279
draft picks. Boom. There's the
Casey Meies example. If you say they

317
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:33.160
lack power, Boom. Watch Philadelphia
hit the ball, watch their approach compared

318
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:38.680
to Detroit's. Those are the things
you're complaining about. Those are the things

319
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:47.640
that frustrate you, and for good
reason. You're right. Doesn't make it

320
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:53.279
easy to bounce back. But there's
something about this team that isn't right.

321
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:02.359
It's the brave heartline. It wasn't
right in the head, they're not right.

322
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.839
Let me get to a text you
can text us at sports radio to

323
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:10.759
twenty one thousand. Ben What do
we got, Yeah, says any News.

324
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.400
If aj Hinch gave McKinstry third in
the lineup today for the base running

325
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:22.960
air last night, maybe he will
reward him with lead off. Well that

326
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:29.880
is that's somebody who is not very
fond of aj Hinch, would be my

327
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.319
guess. I know that's kind of
a little bit of a smart ass.

328
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:38.000
Look, McKinstry, what did he
bet eighth last night? I think the

329
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.359
eight and nine hitters are the only
ones who had multi hit games. Mckinstrey

330
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.000
had two hits. Kelly had two
hits. I'm not making excuses for him.

331
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.839
You got to play somebody at shortstop, all right. McKinstry is probably

332
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:55.000
going to get that more oftentimes than
not. By the way, he tried

333
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:57.480
had another air last night. So
when you talk about fundamentally sound, and

334
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.680
it was mc history who had the
air, So it's a mental error,

335
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:08.920
and it's a you know, you're
not First of all, he's not batting

336
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:15.799
third against Ranger Suarez. It's Suarez
against School tonight. And this is one

337
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.400
of those ones because tomorrow is gonna
be a TVD for both. Jack Flaherty

338
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.119
was originally supposed to start, but
Hinch is gonna give himn extra day off.

339
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.519
You're gonna look at this and you're
gonna go you know what I mean.

340
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.079
First of all, mckinstry' is not
batting there, not against Suarez,

341
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:37.720
all right, who might be well
Tyler Glass. Now those two guys to

342
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.160
the front runners, probably for the
National League Cy Young. That talk has

343
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.359
cooled off a little bit for for
Terrek Scoobel, who's had a couple of

344
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.400
bumps in the road. We'll see
how he does against Philly, who is

345
00:32:49.440 --> 00:33:00.279
one of the better teams in terms
of wins and runs created. I guess

346
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:04.279
lefties in all of baseball. I
think Philly's like fourth or fifth in that

347
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:08.440
category. Detroit is one of the
worst, one of the worst against lefties

348
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:14.480
in that regard. So let's see
how that plays out. I think that's

349
00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:16.880
a that's a smart Alec shot at
a J. Hinch, but maybe it's

350
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:22.440
fair. Oh you're gonna reward him? Answer me this, And I'm not

351
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.279
saying you don't have any right to
be skeptical, because you do one hundred

352
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.880
percent. If a guy makes that
mistake, he makes an error, and

353
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.720
he makes the mental error, what
do you do with him. If you

354
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.799
see that consistently, you know,
damn one of what you're gonna do,

355
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:46.920
you're gonna he's out right, But
what about if he does it just in

356
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:53.079
a situation like that, you need
him? Like it or not, you

357
00:33:53.160 --> 00:34:00.599
need him. You probably don't like
it, all right, So you don't

358
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:07.679
like it. You don't like the
Chippewa who's gonna play short stuff for you?

359
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:10.639
You know they talk about versatility with
this team all the time. This

360
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:20.119
is what we get, right.
How many guys can play short stuff McKinstry

361
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.719
and that's it cold Keith. You're
not playing cold Keith is short. You're

362
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:28.840
not playing Gee Orchelle at short.
Okay, you're not playing Mark Cannet short.

363
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:35.400
It's McKinstry or Chridler bias when he's
healthy, which is a different story.

364
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:38.800
So what do you do? You're
pissed off, and you should be.

365
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.679
I'm pissed off. I don't like
the fielding errors. I don't like

366
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:50.039
the mental errors. I think it's
ridiculous. What are you gonna do.

367
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.800
They're not rewarding him. You think
it's a reward because he's in the lineup.

368
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:02.519
No has to be in the lineup. He has to be, because

369
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:09.960
you don't have anybody else. Once
you got three errors at short in like

370
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:15.119
twenty four starts, it's not a
good ratio. Man got to be better

371
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:20.800
than that. Now Philly has got
to take advantage of it. They're winning

372
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:25.440
that game no matter what. They're
kicking a crap out of you. Okay,

373
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.559
you had two extra base hits when
they have seven hits overall. I

374
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:40.679
believe Philly's got fifteen hits on the
night. You get a bomb double,

375
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:47.559
two doubles by Harper, a Turner
double, homer by bomb, homer by

376
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:54.320
Harper, almost as many extra base
hits for Philly six. Then Detroit had

377
00:35:54.400 --> 00:36:01.960
hits seven, And the apologists will
say, well, look, I mean

378
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:10.960
Philly is one of the better teams
in baseball. Yeah, so what you're

379
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.679
the ones telling us and preaching to
us, Hey, anything can happen in

380
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.199
baseball, pitching, in defense.
In baseball, you don't have the pitching,

381
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:25.000
didn't have the defense, haven't had
the defense really all year, save

382
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:29.119
for the game against Chicago. On
the very first play, very first batter

383
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:32.119
of the day, Tommy fam ground
ball to third, or Sella makes a

384
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.239
hell of a play, throws him
out, from foul territory. It's a

385
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.639
hell of a play, A diving
catch by Riley Green here or there,

386
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:50.880
a home run, robbing grab of
Matt Vierling. Not many defensive standout plays,

387
00:36:53.639 --> 00:37:00.599
and we both know that they're not
fast based runners and their lack of

388
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:12.639
power is evident. It really makes
you question how you're gonna win. If

389
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.440
your owner is tightening the purse strings. It hard to deny that. You

390
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:22.719
want to argue that. Give me
the Give me the example that says he's

391
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:30.519
willing to spend besides the Bayez contract. Give me the example. You can't

392
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:37.079
I us to have a lower payroll
this year than last, So not willing

393
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.480
to spend, so tightening the purse
strings? How you gonna win? Drafting

394
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:45.280
and developing? You don't have a
short stop. You have a bunch of

395
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:52.800
second basemen who aren't very good defensively. Young's not very good defensively, Keith

396
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:57.480
isn't very good defensively. What are
you gonna do? You got nobody at

397
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:01.239
third base right You got a hell
of a defensive center fielder in your system,

398
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:07.880
but you can't hint right Field's a
huge question mark. First basis a

399
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:13.360
question mark. I don't want to
paint a bleak picture. It's something you

400
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.639
probably already know. But that's the
state of your team. That's the state

401
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:22.800
of your franchise. Max Clark is
not coming up anytime soon, all right,

402
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:28.400
mcgonagall's not coming up anytime soon.
If you think either are the answer.

403
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:35.559
That's why I was the fuddled about
the passing on why at Langford?

404
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:40.920
I thought, right, the green
and center Langford and left question mark and

405
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:50.119
right. I suppose he's done pretty
well for Texas. He's not gonna be

406
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.320
Rookie of the Year, but he's
done pretty well for Texas. He's a

407
00:38:53.320 --> 00:39:00.480
pretty fast riser in that system.
Meanwhile, I I had mentioned CBS does

408
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:07.079
this weekly rankings. Phillies are number
one. Where do you think the Tigers

409
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:13.760
rank? It's just one website's opinion. What do you think they rank?

410
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:21.159
They ranked twenty fifth. Here's what
they write. Brace yourself serves some hilarious,

411
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:28.039
maddening inconsistency. Here are the number
of runs the Tigers have scored per

412
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.960
game in their last nine games.
This is what I was referring to a

413
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:52.239
moment ago. Zero thirteen one one
one zero two one eleven one two double

414
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:59.320
digits. How many ones one,
two, three, four five with last

415
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:10.559
Night and Twoice they were shut out. That's tough to make up. That's

416
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:20.239
horrific stuff. That's what we're staring
at. The only team's worse and it's

417
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.519
just one website's rankings. But I
bet you if I asked you for your

418
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.760
rankings, you'd be pretty damn close
to this. Only the Angels, A's,

419
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:37.960
Marlin's Rockies and White Sox they have
is worse brutal. When we come

420
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:42.760
back, Jason Langwell, the executive
producer of the Rocket Mortgage Classic that is

421
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:47.360
taking place this week, really excited
for that. Got a really good looking

422
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:53.440
field led by Ricky Fowler who won
it a year ago, really good looking

423
00:40:53.480 --> 00:41:01.679
field, on the great anticipation of
this year's event, how it's different,

424
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.159
and how you were able to secure
such a good field, because I think

425
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:14.840
it's important. They've got big names
coming this year and perhaps, just perhaps

426
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:21.920
this is starting to turn the corner
a little bit for this annual event that

427
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:30.960
is great for Detroit and really becoming
a lot more embraced by the Gulf world.

428
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:37.360
It's good stuff. Jason Langmoll will
join us when we come back to

429
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.679
talk about the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
