Back with you on extras and Bros. Matt Shephard here on a Wednesday,
Molen Ben is our producer. Give me a shout on the Meyer Hotline.
Eighty sixty six eight three eight forty eight forty three. Tiger is a loser.
Won nothing to the Marlins was a couple of weeks back. I believe
I said eleven times they had been held to two runs or fewer. Now
another shutout, despite Reesoulson doing a hell of a job. Lion's schedule will
be released tonight at eight o'clock. Another example of how good the NFL is.
They just they find a way to market and stay in front of people
constantly. In the NHL, Boston ends Florida season with a two to one
win. Edmonton beats Vancouver three to two. Evan Bouchard with the game whin
he goal thirty nine seconds left in the game. Leon Dreysidtle had a goal
on and assist. Edmonton and Vancouver tied at two wins a piece. In
the NBA, New York blows out Indiana one twenty one nightey Win Jalen Brunson
had forty four. He scored a knixt playoff record twenty eight in the first
half. Denver shocks Minnesota. Way that series is flipped, isn't it?
First time Minnesota has lost three straight all season long. Nikola Jokic forty points,
thirteen assists, second centat to ever do that in a playoff game,
It's incredible. He is an amazing player, and you're sure as hell wouldn't
think so looking at him. PGA Championship aginst from ow At Valhalla, Scotty
Scheffler the favorite. I'll tell you why. Coming up. Let's get to
the phone lines the Meyer online eight six six eight three eight forty forty three
Ben. Who's waiting for us? Chris from Boyne City. Hi, Chris,
good morning to you. How are you good? Good morning? I'm
doing well. How are you I'm doing great? Thanks? Good. First
off, it's good to hear your voice in the mornings. I enjoy listening
to you. Well. Thanks, Chris, I appreciate that very much.
And I have a question and a thought day. My question is, if
they were to release Bias, is his contract fully guaranteed? Yes, so
they have to pay him every dollar over the next three and a half years.
That that's how baseball works. Yep. Yeah, But so my thought
is if they did move on from him, what about if Banya is that
short step? Would you want him there every day? Do you want Bias
there every day? Yeah? Would you? Would you want? Would you
want Andy A Banyez at shortstop every day? Compared to what we've got going
on now? I guess I'd be okay with it because I'd rather see We
know that he can hit, and I'd rather see well Keith that second take
his lumps and what I'd rather watch him that one sixty than watched Bayas that
one sixties. I get it. You realize Andy A. Banyas has never
played shortstop? Well, I didn't know that part. Yeah, he's been
a second baseman, he's been a third baseman, he's even adapted to the
outfield. He has never played shortstop. Gotcha. Well, I'm kind of
kind of in desperation mode. It feels like, so I'm just brainstorming.
I guess Yeah, No, I get it. I completely understand why you
would think that. And thanks to the phone call, Chris, I appreciate
you listening to Sheboygan very much. Up there in wg R Y won a
one point one FM up North Sports Radio. I learned this because I felt
the same way, by the way, not necessarily about andy A Bonyez,
but about certain players. I had learned this And sorry if I've repeated this
story before from Mike Babcock, who used to be the head coach of the
Red Wings. And do you guys remember a guy with the name of Brad
Stewart who was a really good defenseman for Detroit, but he was the number
three defenceman on those Red Wings teams. And I remember asking Mike Babcock,
why not move as good as Brad Stewart is, why not move him to
the first pairing? And his responses was, in so many words, because
some guys are better in the situation you put them in, and why not
just leave him in that situation to continue to thrive instead of weakening two more.
In other words, if you moved him to the first line, he
would be weaker against top lines and you would also weaken your second line.
Is that the case for andy A Banyez. I don't know. I'm not
going to try and fool you and say this is the secret elixir and yes
it's going to be fixed. Oh I can't say that. Here's what I
do know, andy A Banyez has never been an everyday guy. That doesn't
mean he can't be. It doesn't mean you can't earn your way into that.
So please don't take it like I think this is a ridiculous idea.
I don't. So far this season, he's played in what nineteen games,
and he's sitting in you know, well over three hundred three to twenty I
think is what I saw last night. That's fine. Maybe, just maybe,
India Banyez is that effective because of the infrequency that he plays last year
as a Tiger in his first year, one hundred and fourteen games, eleven
homers, two sixty four batting average, a decent on base eh with the
slug and ops. You would take it from that position from that player.
He's thirty one years old. I'm not going to transition him. This is
my opinion. Now. I wouldn't transition him into a shortstop for the first
time in his career for this team. Like it or not. I mean,
is it's really hard in baseball to find quick fixes within your organization during
a season. Think about it. If a guy was that good, Let's
say a guy's playing in the miners right now. So Chris is in the
miners right now, Chris from Boyne City's in the miners playing shortstop. We're
going to bring him up and we expect him to be better than our established
veteran. Why wouldn't it. Chris made it out of spring training. Oftentimes,
if a guy's not on the forty man roster, then you've got to
make a move to get him on that forty man roster, which means exposing
somebody else to waivers. Who that is, I don't know. Should I
care? Probably not. I get tired of. I've always felt the Tigers'
forty man roster was way overprotected. It's a little different now, but under
ala Vila was way overprotected. Everybody looks at draft picks and trades and all
that other stuff, and those are fair, but look at what you do
with a forty man roster. You're holding on to certain guys who are not
valuable period. I like Zach Short, really good guy, okay, unbelievable
golfer and a really good locker room guy. They kept him on the forty
man time and time and time again. He's been released twice this year.
It's crazy. Certain guys they're going to pass through waivers or you might get
another shot at them. But the Tigers used to hold onto these forty man
rosters, the thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty ninth, and fortieth guy
like they were gold and they were nickel plated. You can find plenty of
guys like that. It shows you either the lack of depth or the inability
to scout talent. Maybe it's both. It was ridiculous, but that's what
they did. Are they doing the same thing now? There are certain guys
where we're we just don't know about yet. But it's hard to argue that
this team lacks a young player who could come up and feel comfortable at that
position arguably outside of you know, Catcher, I would say shortstop arguably the
most important position on the field of play, and they don't have it.

better than going out to the grill or popping on the skillet on the stove.
Then Angus beef and Meyer carries certified Angus beef. Remember this, Only

Whatever it is, Certified Angus beef is the way to go and the place
to go to get it is Meyer nineteen After the Hour, Welcome back to
Hexas and Brokes. Let me start off by semi apologize. Okay, I
don't like being the guy who finds the easiest thing to complain about and use
three hours to bitch about it. I don't like doing that, but I
truly believe that standards have to be raised with every team that Detroit has to
offer, or the state has to offer. If you're listening on the Max
ninety six point ONEFM the game and you follow Grand Valley and Fair Estate,
you expect them to contend for for national championships. The Glee acts a given,
but you expect them to contend for national championships. That's an honor.
That's an honor for those two programs. That tells you they have set a
standard of excellence. You also understand as a sports fan that things can be
cyclical. Winning is challenging. You got to have the right pieces when you
have rebuilds. It's going to take a little bit of time. You understand
all that, as do I. The Tigers have won four World championships.
Think about this for a second. They've won four World championships thirty five,
forty five, sixty eight, and eighty four. Nineteen eighty four is the
last time this team won a World championship. That's embarrassing the buyer. The
bar has to be raised higher. The acceptance of playing hard and having good
dudes should be over. Enough is enough? How long is long enough?
That's where this comes from. It's okay, we've done that with the Lions,
right because they were never winners. They just weren't. They weren't consistent
winners. There's a long history of the Detroit Lions, folks. That's the
beauty of what the state has to offer the four major I've said this a
long time about the state of Michigan and Detroit specifically. The beauty is that
we combine our passion with college sports and pro sports. I was doing an
interview on a podcast not too long ago with a guy who was pretty important
in my radio career early on, and Greg Henson, who said, when
people came to town and they asked him or they wanted to tell him what
they were ready for in certain roles regarding and they just rattled off the four
major pro sports teams. He said, no, no, no, you
have to be educated on the local college teams as well, because this area
is as passionate about their college teams as they are their pro teams. There's
not many places like that in the country. Folks, find me another place
in the nation that does that. It's one of the beauties of being a
sports fan and a sports personality in the area. But people used to complain
all the time about Michigan's national championships. Look at how far back they went.
Who cares you were still tabbed a champion. The Tigers have done that
just four times. They're going to celebrate at some point this summer, which
really bothers me, to be honest with you, It hurts me because I
know, damn well, there's going to be a celebration a forty year celebration
of my favorite team, the nineteen eighty four world champion Detroit Tigers. That's
the last time this team celebrated a championship. How do you figure it's incredible?
It really is. Those are the things that really pissed me off because
this team, this organization, is supposed to be better than that. This
team, this organization is supposed to be held to a higher standard, and
we've let the standard go. They've tried quick fixes. It hasn't worked.
The draft picks, a lot of the draft picks have not worked. One
of the most important positions in this sport is shortstop, and the attitude has
been, well, we've got some versatile guys and we can do this,
and we can do my god, man, look at their top prospects.
First of all, they're forty man. Is you know they got a couple
of guys on there like, are you serious? Really? This is what
I mean about the forty man Take a look at that, because that's important.
Those are some of the important things. Look at the forty man roster.
The guys they're protecting. They're protecting Buddy Kennedy, Edieth, Leonard a
Kill, bad Ryan Valley. Those are the guys they're predicting. If they're
gone. Honestly, if they're gone, do you think some what is grabbing
those guys? How much are you going to miss those guys? I guess
is what is what I would ask. And then when you look at the
prospects, and I'm not saying it's Barren, it's not Jackson, Joe high
ceiling hopeful for Max Clark. Jace Young seems like a really good hitter.
I like ty Madden when they drafted Kevin mc McGonagall out of high school.
I liked that pick. I'm waiting for Justin Henry Malloy. Walmer Flores has
been a puzzling situation for me because I thought he would be up by now.
Dylan Dingler, who's the second round pick out of Ohio State, you
would think would have been here by now. How many are shortstops? You
have to go down to Eddie's Leonard, who's ranked the twenty first prospect before
you get a shortstop, and they view him as a shortstop. Slash outfielder
Peyton Graham is twenty three three. He's the twenty fifth rank prospect in the
Tiger system. He's the shortstop. That's a glaring weakness. We've got a
hit of time out. The Meyer hotlines open for you eight sixty six,

If you missed it last night, Tigers lose one zip to the Marlins.
Just bite Rhese Olson throwing a career best eight scoreless inning. Sixty of
his ninety six pitches were for strikes, surrender just three hits, struck out
six, but the Tigers fall and lose for the twenty first time this year,
the same number of victories as losses so far in the NHL. Boston
beats Florida two to one. The Panthers season is over, and that's a
really good hockey team, man, really good hockey team. Edmonton beats Vancouver
three, two Oilers with a power play goal in nine straight games, a
playoff franchise record for them. That series has tied it to a piece.
My thought was while watching those games, and I'm flipping back and forth,
right, but my thought was, I hear people all the time say,
you know what, next year, you know, the incentive is there for
this team. People tell me that all the time. The incentive is there,
So I expect them. They got close, but I expect them to
win it all next year because they came up just short this year. Okay,
I would remind you that there was a lot of incentive for Florida this
year. They made it to the Stanley Cup finals a year ago and now
they're bounced in the second round. There's a ton of incentive for teams in
general. I mean, Boston will have plenty of it moving forward. Carolina
Colorado both were division winners a year ago but never reached the ultimate goal.
You don't think there's incentive for all those teams. Who has the most incentives.
You can't look at it just for your team. Well, they got
closed, so next year they're gonna get there. There's a lot of teams
that say that, just about every team other than the team that won it
all. You don't think Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Bucks had incentive or the Miami
Heat had incentive this year, but they lost in the first round. Granted
Jimmy Butler was hurt, but they made to the finals a year ago.
You think in the offseason they're taking jumpers, they're in the gym, they're
on the track every single day, going, man, we came up just
short. It's going to be different this year. Absolutely, they were even
the Pistons. Anybody who was on that team a year ago, a team
that won seventeen flipping games, you don't think all off season they were partly
driven to be better, and what happened. They were three games worse.
So when I watch those playoff hockey games and I think of just how frustrating
it can be in that sport, and it can be you work so hard
to gain control of the puck in the zone and then boom, a turnover
or a shot that hits a leg and squirts out of the zone, and
you got to start all over again. Good games last night, though.
Evan Bouchard had the game when he' go with thirty nine seconds left for Edmonton.
NBA Knicks blow out. Indiana won twenty one ninety one. So many
people thought it was a must win for New York. I understand why they
thought that, because Indiana had won the last two, especially rather convincingly,
and the Knicks were at home. Well, Jalen Brunson comes through yet again
forty four points, fifth time this postseason he's reached forty or more Friday in
Indiana. Don't be surprised if it goes seven. Denver beat Minnesota one,
twelve ninety seven. I watched that game and I thought to myself, the
heart and experience of a champion. Draymond Green made a really good point on
their pregame show. He and Vince Carter were part of it with Kenny Smith
and Ernie Johnson on TNT and Draymond Green, who actually seems quite normal outside
the court. Was talking about how the experience of Denver and the youth of
Minnesota being combined right now is helping the Nuggets. In addition to that,
in addition to that, they talk about he was talking about who's playing better,
and he knows who's playing better. Nikola Jokic forty pointsints, thirteen assists,
Aaron Gordon eighteen points, ten boards. Nuggets have won three in a
row in the series, first time that the home team has won a game
in the series. Anthony Edwards is one of, if not the most athletic
player in the league, and that's hard to say considering there's a ton of
athletes, high level athletes in the NBA. He was five for fifteen,
just eighteen points. Lastly, the PGA Championship begins tomorrow Valhalla in Kentucky.
Scotti Scheffler is the favorite. I'll tell you why. He has wins in
four of his last five starts. The tournament that he did not win,
he finished second. He has forty straight rounds of power or better, think
of that, forty consecutive rounds, not forty holes. Forty straight rounds.
Forty straight rounds of eighteen holes where he has gone par or better. That's
unbelievable. That's why he's the favorite. Rory McElroy's in that conversation. Brooks
Kopka is no doubt involved in that conversation. A lot of it has to
do with how the course plays. So is it really good for a guy
like Wyndham Clark, you know who? It's good for bryceon Deshamba. It's
a big boy course. It might favor him if he can keep his concentration.
I did find it interesting watching a little bit of the coverage on Golf
Channel yesterday. Aaron Oberheiser was really pissed at John Rahm because John Rohn came
out and said he still considers himself a member of the PGA Tour and supports
the PGA Tour, and Olverheuser was Overholser was going crazy. He was so
upset. He's like, this is so offensive. If you wanted to be
part of the PGA's tour, then stay here, don't go to the live
tour anyway. A lot of different things that I was thinking about yesterday threw
a lot out there. Anything is there for you to chomp on? On
the Meyer Hotline eighty sixty six, eight three, eight forty eight, forty
three. Let's go to those phone lines, Ben, who's waiting for us?
Yeah, we got David Hudsonville. All right, Dave, how you
doing, buddy? Good morning, chef. How are you? I'm doing
great? How about yourself? So a couple of things he just brought up.
Man, if you do not get a chance to watch Nicolo jokicch you
have to because he's one of the best. Is this crazy what he does
at his size and his athleticism for a man that big, who looks that
awkward, but he's not, you know, I mean you you used to.
I mean you rarely see and he's see it now, but rarely do
you see centers play guard and run the offense through the center just become you
know, part of the NBA now, but especially with the ookis but he
also goes in and posts, and he also shoots the three, makes eighty
two percent of his free throw It's an amazing all around basketball player. And
then jumping to what you said too about Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards at twenty
two is a better basketball player right now than Michael Jordan was. I'm not
saying he's a better basketball player overall, or he ever will be possibly,
but right now he's got more tools than Michael Jordan. I mean, Michael
Jordan couldn't shoot the jumper early in his career in the Piston That was part
of Jordan rules, you know. And then but Anthony Edwards has more potential
if he gets on the right team and they go And speaking of a young
team, you're right about Draymond. Draymond's really interesting to listen to because his
basketball, like you, so high. He may act childish on the court
at times, but he's so dang smart. Remember for the Pistons, we
had to lose before we won. Bird stole the ball. Remember when we
were just teetering with Isaiah and Joe and that group in Lambier was just starting
to go and all of a sudden we lost and felt the pain of losing
in order to come back to learn how to be a championship team for a
few years. Yeah, but do you believe that do you believe in that
process? Do you think that's something that has to be experienced. I think
guys have to think. I mean, I think you can win sometimes without
it, you know, I think magic can happen and things come along.
But I also think there's something about seasoning, and I think there's something about
being there and feeling it under those lights, under those conditions, sometimes the
pain of losing and sometimes how to win. But I do think there's something
about the confidence gained or the pain felt, you know, in those situations
that teach you how to be a champion. And I think that's what Draymond
was pointing to. You know, death Denver just knows they're a better team.
They took a couple of punches, but they came back and said,
hold it now, we're going to turn things around. Let you know,
you know who your daddy is. Yeah, that's well said. Look,
there's no always or nevers right in a situation like that, right because,
like you said, Magic Johnson didn't have to experience it, he wanted it
as a rookie's that doesn't always happen. But you can't say that it never
happens because he proved it. But there are other times where you would think
that experience and that heartbreak would inspire you to be better the following year,
and it just doesn't always work out. As a matter of fact, I
would say it works out fewer times than it does work out because there's only
one champion. Yeah, and think how many great players we can think of
and never won a championship in multiple sports. They were tremendous players, so
they know, and I think when they're When you're young, you don't realize
it. You think you're going to play forever, but then all of a
sudden as time goes, you realize, I just want to be on a
winner. I want to get a chance to be able to win a championship.
And it becomes kind of a pursuit for profession. It really does.
Yeah, I agree one hundred percent. Thanks Dave, always always a great
call. Really is really enjoy it. Here's the thing that I've said about
about athletes for a long time, and again, no always are nevers.
I truly believe when they're young, they're going to go get their money.
Makes sense, right, I mean that proverbial window is open. The door
will however you want to phrase it. It's open for you get as much
as you possibly can. If you don't have your ring, if you don't
experience what it's like to be a champion, a world champion, you're going
to find a place to do that what place is going to be best suited
for me. I want a ring or I want another one. The money
I have is sufficient. Now it's time to go get the championship. Something's
missing in my career, right, that's oftentimes what happens, and there's plenty
of examples for it. But to Dave's point, Nikola Jokic wins the Michael
Jordan Award before the game, he's handed it by Adam Silver, the commissioner
of the NBA, and then what does he do. He goes out and
shows everybody why he is just that forty points thirteen is sis And by the
way, the thing I did not mention no turnovers. Maybe that's his big
as statistic as any other, the fact that this guy's got the ball in
his hands as often as he does and he's not giving it back to the
opposition. Now, to Dave's point, if you watched him dribble, just
stand there and dribble like he's a massive human being, but you wouldn't.
But he's light on his feet, like he's got great feet inside, he's
got incredible vision. When other great players at the highest level are talking about
how good this guy is and Anthony Edwards said as much after the game.
When they're saying that, you know, the guy's totally legit. I can
give you numbers all day long that would support it. But sometimes the best
support really is not what a coach says about a guy, because the coach
is always going to be glowing about their own really good player or in this
case, yes, I'm going to say it great player. Listen to what
other people who play against him have to say, like Mike Malone. He
talks about Nikola Jokic, and for good reason, he's his guy. But
look at what Anthony Edwards says about him. Anthony Edwards said after the game,
he goes Look, I said it after game one when we won,
and game two. He's the MVPs, the best player in the NBA.
He's shown it the last three games, three games in a row. He's
special. Gotta give him his flowers. He was the guy tonight. Well
he's been the guy all year long. He's a bit of a freak of
nature. And the box scores sometimes can lie, but it doesn't with NIKOLEA
Jokic. Guy goes out there. Sure he took twenty two shots. I
would want him to take twenty twenty two shots as well. If he's hitting
fifteen of them, he's a plus twenty one on the night. I don't
know what numbers matter to you. If plus minus is only important in hockey,
I know a lot of people they are like h plus minus in basketball.
I think it's a little overblown. Okay, maybe it is overblown,
but there's something to it, right. It's not the gospel, but it's
part of the reading. Forty points, thirteen assists, seven rebounds, two
steals, a block, no turnovers. There's only two guys who played for
Denver last night who did not commit a turnover. The other was Peyton Watson,
who played under a minute. There's only three guys in the entire game
who did not commit a turnover. The one for Minnesota is Monte Morris,
who played twelve minutes. Nikola Jokic, with the ball in his hands as
often as he has it last night, played forty one minutes, no turnovers.
Dude's really really good. You may shake your head and go, h
he can't do what Janisanta the Kumpo can do. He can't do what Anthony
Edwards can do. He can't do what shake Gilgess Alexander can I can bring
up a lot of guys. Yeah, but you know what, there's a
lot of things that he does that they can't do. The Meyer Hotline is
