WEBVTT 1 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.440 Second hour of the program, ven as our producer, getting a call on 2 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.920 the Meyer hotline eighty sixty six eight three eight forty three, or you can 3 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.839 send a text to sports Radio to twenty one thousand. So somebody not too 4 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:38.000 long ago said that the They said the Tigers are not a bad baseball team. 5 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.200 They have a blow average offense, incredibly inconsistent offense looks like the worst 6 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.320 at times. But if they can find a way to turn it into an 7 00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.280 average offense, this team could be dangerous. No one wants to face this 8 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.159 staff in a three or five game playoffs here playoffs? Me? Do I 9 00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:02.039 need to get into the Jim Morris playoffs? How do you, honestly, 10 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:10.560 how do you talk like that? How do you actually think that that's a 11 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.000 worthy discussion at this time right now when you're under five hundred and ten games 12 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:21.079 back in the division? Oh oh, by the way, you sit in 13 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.840 fourth place in the division. No one wants to face this staff in a 14 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.120 playoff series. You know why? Because the playoffs are a long way away. 15 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.719 And who, just out of curiosity, Ben, who do you think 16 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:44.040 would be let's just say it's a best three out of five? Who do 17 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:52.560 you think would be your three starters in that series, just wondering who do 18 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:56.959 you think it would be? It would be Terrek Schoobel taking the ball, 19 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.079 and number one it'd be Jack Flaherty taking number two in resource in number three. 20 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.200 Right. Ye's fair, Yes, that's fair. And granted they all 21 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.560 have good stuff. They have all at one point had a hiccup or two 22 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:17.800 during the season, just like the offense has had a hiccup. Would you 23 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.560 feel good with those three guys, I'm sure you would. But here's what 24 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:32.400 you forget. The team you're playing in a playoff series, because this is 25 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.599 where this person was going. The team you're playing in a playoff series. 26 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:44.759 The reason they got there is because A they're pretty damn good. B they've 27 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.080 got probably a better offense than you do. And see their pitching has got 28 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:58.120 to be pretty decent too. You're not going to face in a playoff series. 29 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:06.520 You're not going to be fair. You Sai Kakuchi like they did the 30 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.800 other day. Again, what did I say the six o'clock hour? I 31 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.280 said, I if we're going to talk about them being bad at times, 32 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.280 give them credit where credit is do and talk about them when they do a 33 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:27.120 good job. The power was there over the weekend against Toronto, four home 34 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.280 runs in the final game of that series, seven home runs overall, twenty 35 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.159 two extra base hits. That'll win you series. Man, right there. 36 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:49.000 Absolutely, Pitching stumbled, offense picked them up. Offense struggled against Kansas City. 37 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.280 Pitching did its best to try and pick it up, but couldn't. 38 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.680 Inconsistency to suggest that, well, they're just a little inconsistent. That doesn't 39 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:08.960 get you anywhere if they can find a way to turn it into an average 40 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:15.279 offense. They haven't been able to do that yet. But one of the 41 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:23.279 responses to such a post was exactly what I said last week on why we 42 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:30.639 feel like this is a greater disappointment than what we've even experienced so far, 43 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:43.480 And it is because Kansas City and Cleveland. People don't know or believe in 44 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:49.959 what they have. People don't believe that Kansas City is as good as their 45 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:57.040 record indicates, and people sure as hell don't believe that Cleveland can sustain this 46 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:05.319 all year long. Okay, perhaps, I mean I don't think when all 47 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.480 is said and done, I don't think Cleveland is going to have the second 48 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.199 most wins in the American League to the Yankees. They don't have to. 49 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.480 They just have to have more wins than Kansas City, Minnesota, Detroit, 50 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:28.759 and Chicago. They've got a star, Jose Ramirez. Detroit does not. 51 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:36.199 They've been more consistent. Kansas City has been more consistent. Doesn't mean I 52 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.360 think they can keep it up, but we're not willing to give them credit. 53 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.920 And that's kind of always bothered me. It takes a lot to belie 54 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.959 for you to believe in something, doesn't it And I think it takes a 55 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.199 lot for you to change your mind about something. It does for me too. 56 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.079 We're not dissimilar in that regard. But I'm not going to be blinded 57 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:12.240 by a series win over Toronto either. You've got to be you gotta win 58 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.759 series. You don't have to win every game, but you gotta win series. 59 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.839 Look at Philadelphia now, they're arguably the best team in baseball. How 60 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:30.879 many series wins do they have? I think they had seven series sweeps already 61 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.519 this year something like that. I forget what the number is. I said 62 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:43.680 it just the other day. That's what it requires, that's how you get 63 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.240 it done. Now, they just lost the series to the Rockies. They 64 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:54.240 swept the Rangers, they swept the Nationals, they won the series against the 65 00:06:54.279 --> 00:07:00.000 Mets, they swept the Giants Angels. Yeah, I think they have seven 66 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:08.759 sweeps. I don't know how many series wins they have. But just because 67 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:16.879 you beat an underachieving Toronto team doesn't mean that now suddenly you've got the recipe 68 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:21.279 for success. Now I know what they have to do. They just have 69 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.639 to be a little bit more consistent offensively. Well, no kidding, isn't 70 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:43.560 that something that everybody has already come to grips with? How close are they? 71 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.319 A lot of people feel like they're close, but they're also really far 72 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:55.199 away, which doesn't make much sense. But you feel like they're close because 73 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:00.720 of the pitching and what the offense has quote unquote shown what it can do, 74 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.720 But yet you feel so far away because the offense has been so bad 75 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:13.560 for so long. That is a nice long way of saying, we don't 76 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:26.480 know yet. We still have to be convinced that's what it's about. And 77 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.879 it's hard to wait. It's hard because we want to have an opinion. 78 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.840 The opinion is boring if we sit there and go, well, we're just 79 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.559 gonna have to wait and see. When are you gonna stop waiting and seeing. 80 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.879 That's the question.

Angel Hernandez has announced he's retiring from umpiring 114 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.000 in Major League Baseball. Well, the glee of people throughout baseball right now 115 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.799 because of just how bad of an umpire he truly was he and he was. 116 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:56.000 Strike zone was inconsistent, temperamental, didn't seem like he knew the rules. 117 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:05.600 There was there's an account out there on X Well, this guy shows 118 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:13.279 all these videos. It's amazing, all these videos of Angel Hernandez's mistakes. 119 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.720 You talk about a rough go of it. This guy's been a he's been 120 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:26.279 an umpire since like nineteen well, no, a couple of decades, all 121 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:35.039 right, long time, and all people remember him for is the negative things. 122 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.480 You know, did he do some positives he had to have. He 123 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.759 wouldn't have been behind the plate. He wouldn't have been umpiring for as long 124 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:56.519 as he has three decades if he wasn't any good, right, is it 125 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.120 fair to say? Remember this is the guy who sued Major League Baseball in 126 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:11.200 twenty seventeen alleging the league had engaged in racial discrimination. It was thrown out 127 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:22.399 over and over and over again. Twenty eighteen, he had three calls reversed 128 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:30.720 by replay in the first four innings. He'll talk about supporters of his will 129 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:41.679 be a back injury, but we know why he's gone. There's a report 130 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.879 that said just this year he called three strikes on pitches well off the plate 131 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.240 against Wyatt Langford. Did you see that the rookie? Each one was a 132 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.720 little bit further outside. Here's the funny thing about this, and I'm not 133 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.559 going to stick up for angel Ornandez. I called plenty of games with him, 134 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.320 either on the Vasspaz or behind the plate. I'd go down to the 135 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.159 umpire's room and say hello to the umpire's nice enough guy, really was, 136 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.480 but wasn't very consistent, just wasn't very good. I think what his job 137 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.879 was doesn't take away from the fact that he's a nice guy. But that's 138 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.519 not why you stay in your position. But here's the funny thing about it. 139 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.279 I remember talking to Kirk Gibson one time where he was a rookie early 140 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.240 in his career. But I think it was his rookie season and he saw 141 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.799 a pitch come and he thought it was outside. He took it. It 142 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.240 was strike one. I think it was Joe West who was the umpire. 143 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:54.240 He took up for strike one and Gibby said something. The next pitch, 144 00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:01.679 saane pitch, similar location, a little bit further outside, called strike two. 145 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.639 Gibbee complaints some more. Umpire said, wait, do you see where 146 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:13.440 the next one is? In other words, keep complaining that plate's going to 147 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.799 be that strike. Someone is gonna get a lot larger for the picture. 148 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.799 Now. I'm not saying it's the same thing with why at Langford. What 149 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.519 I'm telling you is the umpires back then, back in the eighties, seventies 150 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:35.000 and eighties, we're missing balls and strikes two. What's the difference. The 151 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:41.519 difference today is you have social media, you have statistics, you have websites, 152 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:48.159 you have certain types of analytic equipment that allows you to gauge, judge 153 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:56.240 and decipher whether or not an umpire or a referee is actually correct in their 154 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:02.919 call. So that's what makes it really hard. Let's get into some texts 155 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.600 because we've got some. All you gotta do is Tech Sports Radio to twenty 156 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.080 one thousand, Ben, What do we got for us today on a Tuesday 157 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.320 morning? Yeah, it says, in my opinion, if this team wants 158 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.960 to contend this year, if they need to make a Justin Verlander and Alex 159 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.440 Bregman kind of trade and push one of the starters to the pen, I'll 160 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.440 take my chances with scooball Verlander and Flaherty in a first round playoff series. 161 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:37.679 I would I really like Alex Brigman. What would So it always begs this 162 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:45.840 question, what would you have to surrender? Now? I would remind you, 163 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.840 well, first of all, I don't think Houston feels like they can't 164 00:16:48.960 --> 00:17:00.440 catch Seattle. Seattle has a They're three games over five hundred, they have 165 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:06.680 the smallest lead in of any division leader, and I think most people would 166 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.799 agree that they are not the best team in that division. So Houston probably 167 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:17.559 feels like they could still do something right. I'm not going to claim to 168 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.920 know exactly what the Houston Astros need to win the division, or win the 169 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.119 league or win the World Series. I'm not sure Detroit has it. I 170 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:32.599 would just remind you now, it's a different management team in there, so 171 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:40.240 let's not burn them or associate them with what has happened before. But the 172 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.799 Tigers, look, the Tigers need pop. I would rather have a guy 173 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.880 like Kyle Tucker personally, but Bregman serves a lot of different needs that this 174 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:56.799 team has. I just don't then he sets the right stage by the way 175 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:03.039 I mean he he plays with San pay We know that you borrow a hockey 176 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.279 term. We know he's a tough dude. He's also thirty. Okay, 177 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:14.240 he's also thirty years old, which isn't super old, but at some point 178 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:21.160 is not having an Alex Bregman like year, And those are the things you've 179 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:26.079 got to take into account. Does change his scenery getting reunited with a guy 180 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.599 like AJ Hinch and all those other things. I can't say that that's exactly 181 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.599 what's going to happen. But here's what we know. The guy's a two 182 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.400 time All Star, big reason why Houston won a couple of World Series. 183 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:48.519 Historically, damn good player, right, He's not the player that led the 184 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.599 league in doubles back in twenty eighteen, but he's still a pretty damn good 185 00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.319 player. I'd be a little concerned with what's going on right now now with 186 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:10.319 him if he were on your team right now at age thirty hitting two six 187 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.319 with four homers while at the same time, and unfortunately for athletes today, 188 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.559 this is something that always has to be brought up while at the same time 189 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:23.279 making thirty million dollars, you would have a problem with it. He's going 190 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.759 to be a free agent at the end of this year, by the way, 191 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:32.400 you want to trade some young prospects, that's what to take. You 192 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:38.920 want to trade some young players for Alex Bregman who's thirty making thirty million dollars. 193 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.359 I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just trying to bring this up, 194 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.440 Okay, I'm just because I think sometimes we get caught up in names, 195 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:52.000 that's all. But he's thirty, struggling, makes thirty million dollars, and 196 00:19:52.039 --> 00:20:00.359 you want to bring in a forty one year old Justin Ferlander who's making forty 197 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:10.000 three million dollars. Seventy three million combined for those two players who are combined 198 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.519 seventy one years old. Probably not a fair way to put it, so 199 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.079 I'll take that back, but the money is true. Bregman struggling. As 200 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:25.839 I mentioned, Verlander has been Okay, I'm gonna run out of gas at 201 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:33.880 some point. Hall of Fame player or maybe the Texter is saying that type 202 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.119 of deal, not specifically for those two players, but I think, oh, 203 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.640 Verlander, we wanted to come home for a Tiger and Bregman, he's 204 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.440 a really big name. They're not having great years and they make a lot 205 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:51.359 of fricking money. We'll get back to more of that here in a moment, 206 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:55.960 because that's a good text that allows us to think something that maybe most 207 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.279 people would when we return after this huge yere for the Michigan High School Letic 208 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.799 Association.

Tigers were off yesterday. They will take 229 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.480 on the Pirates in the first of a two game set starting tonight at Comerica 230 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.559 Park. In basketball, last night, the Celtics beat the Pacers one five, 231 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.039 one oh two. Jason Tatum had a double double, Jalen Brown had 232 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.880 twenty nine. Derek Whitehead sixteen hit a big three in the corner. Boston 233 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.880 is into the NBA Finals for the second time in three years and the twenty 234 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.319 third time overall. They've won seven consecutive games in the postseason. They are 235 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.599 six and zero in the playoffs. Saying, yes, they were the beneficiary 236 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.160 of some timely injuries by the opposition. Jimmy Butler in Miami, he made 237 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:55.359 sure you know that pat Riley didn't like it. Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland, 238 00:23:55.480 --> 00:24:03.519 Tyres Halliburton in Indiana. Just a reminder, Boston did be eat the Cavaliers 239 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.839 in games with Donovan Mitchell in the lineup, and they did beat Indiana with 240 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:14.359 Tyrese Haliburton in the lineup as well. I'm not gonna take anything away from 241 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.519 Boston after what they've been able to do so far in the playoffs. They've 242 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.319 only lost twice. They're really good. It's not like I'm a huge Celtics 243 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.720 fan. You just got to give credit where credit is due. Dallas Stars 244 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.920 beat the Edmonton Oilers five to three last night. They scored three times in 245 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.240 a three and a half minute span, Jason Robertson with his first career playoff 246 00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.680 hat trick. They lead the series two games to one. Connor McDavid had 247 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:44.400 a goal and an assist in the loss. Alexander Zverev beat Rothfeld and the 248 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:48.240 Dell And straight sets in the first round of the French sh Open. Here's 249 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:55.960 the mind blowing numbers for Rafael and Nadal. In Roland Garros in his career, 250 00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:06.359 he's one hundred and twelve and four one hundred and twelve wins in one 251 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:14.000 hundred and sixteen matches. He's won fourteen titles there and there are only three 252 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:23.599 men who have beaten him in a match. Novak Djokovic who beat him twice, 253 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.680 Robin Soderling, who I have no idea who that is, and now 254 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.839 Alexander Zaverev who I think is the four seed anyway, so kind of legit' 255 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.200 that's incredible, just incredible. Let's get to some texts Ben fire Away. 256 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:48.000 Yeah, one of them says Stefan Diggs is a downgrade to the chemistry. 257 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:56.759 He's a bad apple into the locker room. That's in reference to the NFL 258 00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:03.720 discussion we were having on an article that indicated there were nine evenly balanced teams. 259 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:12.880 There were six defensively geared teams, nine were making, eleven offensively geared 260 00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:18.880 teams, and only five teams they considered to be the total package. One 261 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.559 of the total packages was the Houston Texans, and the reason they used Houston 262 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.960 as an example is because CJ. Stroud getting help with Stefan Diggs. Now, 263 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:36.680 Stefan Diggs I think is a really good player. Ben. Do you 264 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.920 play fantasy football? Yes? I knew. Okay, would you take him 265 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.920 on your team? Yeah? I would? Okay, Yeah. That doesn't 266 00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:52.200 make him a good locker room guy by any stretch, but he is productive, 267 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:59.000 Okay, he gets open. I would say, for the most part, 268 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.559 outside of a playoff drop or two, he's been a pretty damn good 269 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:11.279 player in his years in Buffalo. Four years in Buffalo, they're winning divisions. 270 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:18.720 He led the league in receptions and yards in twenty twenty and was a 271 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:26.480 pro bowler. He had over one hundred rocks each year in Buffalo. He 272 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:32.559 had over twelve twelve hundred yards every year in Buffalo eleven eighty three. Can 273 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:37.599 you give me the benefit of the doubt. He's a pro bowler all four 274 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:45.799 years in Buffalo. However, to the Texter's point, there's some baggage there. 275 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:56.440 There is some possible disruption. Is he the reason that Buffalo fell short 276 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:03.519 of their goals? Or was it Cincinnati or Kansas City or I don't know. 277 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.920 I'm not gonna claim to know or lay at all. It's stuff on 278 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:17.839 Digs's feet. But he does come with he comes with some extra attention. 279 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.359 How's that. I think he's a hell of a receiver. And I know 280 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.920 he's gonna be thirty years old or thirty one years old coming up, but 281 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:33.200 he could still play. I don't think Houston is as good as the Lions 282 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:38.160 are. I don't think the Jets are as good as the Lions are. 283 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.119 Baltimore legit, Kansas City legit, San Francisco legit. It's hard to argue 284 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.880 when San Francisco beat you, head, dad, you're gonna play him again 285 00:28:52.880 --> 00:29:00.720 this year. They're a good football team, man, as Detroit made enough 286 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:12.079 improvements this offseason to take that final step. I think they have the thing 287 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.680 that this article and we'll get to your phone calls here in a moment, 288 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:21.960 the thing that this article doesn't really highlight, and if you missed it earlier, 289 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:27.480 they have Detroit under offensively geared, that they're more offensively balanced than defensively, 290 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.119 because they broke it down into four segments. The total package five teams, 291 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:40.000 and I just mentioned those offensively geared defensively geared, or teams at the 292 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:45.640 beginning are more evenly balanced, which is not a knock. I mean you'd 293 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.160 like to be evenly balanced. They viewed Detroit as more offensively. Ben Johnson 294 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:53.599 obviously part of it, and because if there was a weak part, it 295 00:29:53.680 --> 00:30:02.400 was their defense a year ago. They need another pass rusher leave. But 296 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.160 they're selling Detroit a little light offensively. They bring up golf, they bring 297 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.039 up I'm on Ross Saint Brown, Where's Laporta, where's the dual threat of 298 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:15.759 Montgomery and Diggs? And their offensive line is the best. You can make 299 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:22.960 the case the best in football. To the phone lines we go. It 300 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:29.799 is the Meyer Hotline at eight sixty six eight three, eight forty eight forty 301 00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.200 three. Who's up? Yeah? We got two calls? First up as 302 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.160 Scott and Grand Rapids. Scotti? How are man? Hey? Good chef? 303 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.799 How you doing? But I'm great? Thanks for listen. Yeah I 304 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.720 did. I hope you did too. Thanks for listening. Wax ninety six 305 00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:51.559 point one in the game. What's going on? I got two points and 306 00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:53.400 they're similar, So let me let me get through the Tigers. They and 307 00:30:53.599 --> 00:31:00.960 the Alliance here real quick, but sure Tigers though HM going into season, 308 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.400 every most publications and most people said that Minnesota was the most people will use 309 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:12.400 that word balanced again, and that's where most prognosticators said that who was going 310 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.119 to win the division. When they talked about Cleveland, they talked about their 311 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.559 pitching. When they talked about the Royals, they talked about their players, 312 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:26.200 their their their youth and their in and the guys they could hit. And 313 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.160 when they talk about the Lion or excuse me, the Tigers, it was 314 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:37.720 always potential. They would always use the word potential. H do you agree 315 00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:44.640 with that? Did we lose? Scott might have lost them. Yeah, 316 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.000 I think we might have lost called back the Okay, do you agree with 317 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:56.440 that, Scott? I I do think that. Uh uh. I don't 318 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:07.519 like their offense anywhere, but defensively they Potentially we're going to be a lot 319 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.480 better. Potentially we're going to be not more balanced. The offense is going 320 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.680 to put up, but twenty five twenty eight points a game, I mean, 321 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:21.480 we know that. I think that's a fair assessment. But when I 322 00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:25.480 was recruiting for Michigan State years and years and years ago, after a former 323 00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.480 being there, I go to a high school coach in the IF. The 324 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:36.920 first thing he told me about his kid was he drew off the chart. 325 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.960 I never listened to that. Potentially, you know what, you know, 326 00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:46.480 what potential gets you in pros fired, the potential gets you fired as it 327 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:52.480 go. Yeah, but I do believe this. I do believe this, 328 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.519 Scott. I think and I apologize I missed a lot of what you were 329 00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.319 saying because you're kind of breaking up there. But thanks for the phone call. 330 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.200 I did get kind of the gist, and I wish we could talk 331 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:08.720 longer because I didn't realize your background was recruiting from Michigan State. That's fantastic. 332 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.279 I do believe part of when somebody says, and you would know this 333 00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.079 better than I would, because you recruit it when you go to a high 334 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:21.160 school player or a high school coach, and the high school coach and scouts 335 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:25.559 are telling you the potential is there if you have a really good coaching staff. 336 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:31.720 Shouldn't that coaching staff bring out that potential in a player some guys, 337 00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.319 and again Scott would know this better than I would because of his background, 338 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:42.039 But some guys, look, they're there, but they don't get great coaching. 339 00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:50.039 There's that great coaching everywhere, high school, travel, teams, you. 340 00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.440 Great coaching can make a massive difference, putting players in the right spot 341 00:33:54.480 --> 00:34:00.000 to allow them to succeed, having them think the game, helping them learn, 342 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:05.640 and a little bit more seeing the little nuances that it takes. It's 343 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.880 no surprise to anybody. It shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that the best 344 00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:19.519 coaches create the best teams. Players are getting better. Terry Francona is a 345 00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:25.000 great example in baseball. Many people would argue they didn't have the best talent. 346 00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:32.000 He's an incredible manager who can manage his manage the egos, manage people 347 00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.000 and bring out a coaching staff and knows what the hell they're doing. It's 348 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:45.760 not a surprise. So that's when you say, potential gets you fired. 349 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:51.079 I don't know if he gets you fired. Not reaching a player's potential, 350 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:58.639 I think gets you fired. But with if I want a really good athlete, 351 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.840 or if I want a really good player and I see that he can 352 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:07.039 get better with the right coaching, that's not a knock on the college or 353 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.840 the high school coach he had before. Isn't that up to you to make 354 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.800 them better? Scott, how many times did you see a player in high 355 00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:22.079 school you were recruiting to Michigan State knowing, damn well, whatever coach was 356 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:23.360 working with you. I don't know if it was Mark D'Antonio, whomever, 357 00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:28.639 but let's just say it is Mark d'antonian, knowing that Mark Antonio would love 358 00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:35.239 this guy because he could make him better. Absolutely, that's what you want. 359 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:45.960 I worked closely with John Beeline at the University of Michigan. I can't 360 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.480 tell you how many people told me I can't believe Beeline just recruited fill in 361 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:55.280 the blank, Zach Novak, Stu Douglas, Jordan Morgan, who the hell 362 00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:02.119 Is Duncan Robinson. They had potential. B a line saw it. He 363 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:06.960 got the most out of the potential. So I don't think potential gets you 364 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:13.199 fired. But I do believe great coaches in any sport can get the most 365 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:22.519 out of an individual's potential. And perhaps what was leading that individual athlete not 366 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:27.039 to reach his truest potential was not just him, but was because of the 367 00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:36.119 coaches he was playing for. Interesting, Scott's background, didn't know that to 368 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.639 the Meyer hotline eight six six eight three eight forty forty three. Who's next? 369 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:45.159 Ben, David Hudsonville Dave, good morning, how are you hey? 370 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:49.599 Good morning, Chep. You know. Interesting. Building on what Scott said, 371 00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.719 so, coach Heathcote every summer at camp would show a video to all 372 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:58.320 the campers of Michigan State Basketball Camp called Potential, and he did it for 373 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.440 years, and he'd always say, potential is nothing unless you realize it. 374 00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:07.800 If you don't realize your potential, it's worthless. And then he used to 375 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:09.840 tell me, he goes, God did not smile on you, young man. 376 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.880 If you would have had that, you'd be a hell of a basketball 377 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.840 player. You know, based on physical gifts, you know, jud Judge 378 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:21.639 was like Don Judge was like Don Rickles, okay in that regard and so 379 00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.159 forth, and what goes on with that. But what's interesting is you're exactly 380 00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.119 right about great coaches. I think you know, see athletes and and they 381 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.559 you know, they understand what they might have and it's it becomes a mutual 382 00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.840 partnership to realize that potential. Are you willing to put in the work? 383 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.679 Am I willing to work with you? And even now coaches though and his 384 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.519 staff will talk about, okaygees, those are our kind of guys. Michigan 385 00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:51.519 State Basketball recruits our kind of guys, and they look at guys who are 386 00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.639 going to put in that time and that work, have the right attitudes, 387 00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:58.000 have the right family situation. You know, coaches that will say to a 388 00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:01.599 family, hey, if you can't deal with the fact that someday your son's 389 00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:06.400 name may be rolling on the bottom of ESPN saying he suspended for a game 390 00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.280 of two for a poor choice, then this isn't the program for you, 391 00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:13.840 because we have accountability, you know, and you'll have that conversation and so 392 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.880 forth. So and the other thing that they look at too, and shef 393 00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:21.079 you you brought this up in this day and age, they will look at 394 00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:25.440 kids who play multiple sports because now kids start so early and use sports and 395 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:30.000 travel, But a lot of those kids have realized their potential way too early. 396 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:34.599 If you've played multiple sports and you've changed seasons like we used to do 397 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.280 as kids, you still have a lot more growth potential in your game. 398 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:42.079 You know, if you've thrown all these pitches since you've been ten or eleven 399 00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.440 years old, and travel all over and played basketballer done all this stuff, 400 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.519 your ceiling is not as high as if you've played multiple sports. Then you 401 00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:53.480 have more to grow in your game and more to do that. Amen. 402 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:59.000 I wish more people would preach that to kids and to parents. Quite honestly, 403 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.320 I think it as much the parents' fault as it is the kids fault. 404 00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:06.079 I think there's a lot of kids who would love to play multiple sports, 405 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:10.239 but I think parents to a certain extent may be living vicariously through their 406 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:17.320 kids and feel like they feel like they have to have them zero in on 407 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:22.039 one specific sport too early in life. And then those kids might I'm not 408 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.880 saying all of them, but some kids might get get sick and tired of 409 00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:30.440 it playing multiple sports. I mean, depending on how many you're playing, 410 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.760 but playing multiple sports can really help you with the other sports you're playing, 411 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:40.440 without question. And you know, great high schools always have a core of 412 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:46.280 athletes that they get into multiple sports because they're just excellent athletes and they need 413 00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:51.320 them across different sports in order to build core teams and do that. But 414 00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.559 you're right too, the biggest business that we've seen over the last fifteen years 415 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:59.159 is the growth of private coaches and private you know two us who come in 416 00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:01.079 and do this or do that. A one last thing for your chep too. 417 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.960 On football. So I think the sneaky trade that I wish the Lions 418 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.559 would have made would and I applaud the Bears getting Keenan Allen with a fourth 419 00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:14.199 round draft choice. Yeah, Allen has killed the Lions for years. I 420 00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:19.199 would have loved to have him as a possession receiver opposite Jamison Williams and I'm 421 00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.559 Monrah and being able to do that for a fourth rounder, I think that's 422 00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:23.880 the hell of a pickout for them. Yeah, I think it's a really 423 00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:27.320 good pick up. And I love that call. You're dead on there. 424 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.280 Thanks for the phone call. They've have a great day, So there's a 425 00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:37.440 lot of things to chew on there. With Keenan Allen, I don't know 426 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.159 what the contract is there, so I need to look that up. With 427 00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:45.760 Laporta, Gibbs out of the backfield, Montgomery out of the backfield. Sometimes 428 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:51.039 the expectation it's going to be huge for Jamison this year. Jamison Williams has 429 00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:53.639 got to be the type of guy you expected him to be when he came 430 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:59.440 out of Alabama. That's huge. I do want to get to what we 431 00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:01.360 were talking about with use Sports when we come back on the final hour of 432 00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:06.400 Exes and Bros.
