1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.960
What makes the selection. With the
first pick in the twenty twenty four NFL

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:22.120
Draft, the Chicago Bears select Caleb
Williams quarterback Tela California. There he is,

3
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:46.399
Chicago Bear's your new hostess and dreams. Not a surprise that Caleb Williams

4
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:52.119
goes number one overall. What he
is surprising though, was the uncomfortable phone

5
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.880
call that he had with his new
general manager. I don't know if you've

6
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.200
over heard it, but it's it's
very awkward, very awkward. There was

7
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:06.560
also then, I don't know if
you saw this, There was also some

8
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.840
I don't know if it's true,
so much crap out online and social media

9
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.480
and stuff, but someone said that
he paints his nails and he's got a

10
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.120
pink phone. Yeah, I saw
that. You saw that. Yeah.

11
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.560
The immediate thought is who cares?
Right? Honestly, I mean, as

12
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.239
long as he wins, as long
as he goes out there and does his

13
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.640
job, what difference does it make? And I think a lot of people

14
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.760
will immediately turn to Dennis Rodman.
When Dennis Rodman was at an elite effort,

15
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.719
he wasn't doing that stuff, and
he did it more for attention,

16
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.840
you know, So what I mean, who cares. I listened to rock

17
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.439
bands, and back in the eighties
and nineties, a lot of those guys

18
00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:05.760
wore makeup and lipstick and had is
he hair and could pass for women too.

19
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.479
So and I still listen to the
music. I don't think it.

20
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.680
I don't think it really matters.
What matters is how you handle yourself in

21
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.560
the huddle, on the practice field, in the locker room, at the

22
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.439
podium, but more importantly on the
field of play. Welcome back, third

23
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.680
hour and final hour of Exus and
Bros. Across the Great State of Michigan.

24
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.199
Meyer hotline is eight sixty six eight
three, eight forty eight forty three.

25
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.120
Lions had six players they needed.
Over the last three years. Their

26
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.599
secondary has been terrible. I think
that's fair to say. Brad Holmes did

27
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:46.439
what he possibly could to try and
fix that with some free agents. Remember

28
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:54.039
he signed Camp Sutton, Emmanuel Moseley, CJ. Garter Johnson. He drafted

29
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.800
Brian Branch out of Alabama. That
was a really good pick. This offseason

30
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.680
he traded for Carlton Davis. Now
he adds Terry on Arnold and Ennis Rankstraw.

31
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.039
That's great. What do you expect
from rookie corners. I've said this,

32
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:23.560
it's the second talking to scouts,
the second hardest position to transition to

33
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.280
from college to pro. The hardest
is quarterback. Then it's cornerback. You're

34
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:38.639
playing zones you're really not familiar with
or as familiar with, and you're going

35
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:45.039
up against guys who you didn't see
in college. Wide receivers that you just

36
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.639
didn't see in college. I think
a lot of people what they're going to

37
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:55.159
do with Terry on Arnold, Well, maybe I'm jumping ahead here. I

38
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:01.280
think going to compare him to Darius
Slay because he was Detroit's last elite corner,

39
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.960
but he was a second round pick. If they compare him to Jeff

40
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.960
Okudah, that's a good thing for
Tyran. Arnold can't be any worse than

41
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.960
Jeff Acuda. But remember the pedigree
Jeff Okudah had coming out of Ohio State,

42
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.199
played in a big conference, played
against really good wide receivers, was

43
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:24.040
the number one corner on everybody's board, widely praised for what happened there,

44
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:30.920
and it didn't work out. Darius
Slay when he came out of Mississippi State,

45
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.040
he came to the Lions, Jim
Schwartz was the head coach. I

46
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.639
thought it was a really good pick. He's a really good player, but

47
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:46.519
he was a he was a man
to man cornerback. He struggled in zone.

48
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:54.399
Terry on Arnold is widely viewed as
a guy who excels him both and

49
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.680
that's a good sign. Let's go
to the Meyer hotline eight sixty six eight

50
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.240
three eight forty eight forty three.
Then who's on the line you have?

51
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.360
We got gr Scott, Hey,
gr Scott, I'll worry buddy day,

52
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.920
Good morning, ship they good morning. Two points one on the Lions and

53
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.560
drafts and one on the figures.
Let me get those out and then you

54
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.360
can comment afterwards if you would.
First while on the Lion's draft. I

55
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.519
don't know that there's a lot of
fanfare today just because it's sudden, we

56
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.439
expect now. I know it's tough
for the media to see and everything else,

57
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:34.160
but it's just that Brad Holmes has
done that. He's proven. He's

58
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:40.680
just proven. I don't I don't
think maybe less than ten percent of those

59
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.360
real Liance fans question him anymore.
So they're like, yeah, he did

60
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.000
what he's supposed to do. Yay, let's go and I mean, you

61
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.480
look at it now, we got
five corners that are going to compete.

62
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:58.199
You got three safeties. If you
include Brian Benson, you probably cancrew Brian

63
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:03.399
Bensch in the corners too, So
I mean they've short up the back end.

64
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.079
We probably got eight to nine guys
on the front line. They're not

65
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.759
everybody that we wanted, but people
we can count on. Probably got eight

66
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.839
to nine on the offensive line.
And when somebody drops, when somebody drops

67
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:23.920
a wide receiver, somebody cuts a
wide receiver here this summer, or we'll

68
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.759
make a trade, he'll get it. He'll get the last he'll get the

69
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.879
last peat. It's just we we
dis trust him. Then a comment about

70
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.120
the Tigers. I made a comment
a couple of weeks ago about Parker,

71
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:43.680
and then I realized that I was
doing the same thing that I did not

72
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:48.040
like what the Red Wings fans were
doing, uh in evaluating this year,

73
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.360
if or the only complaint really that
I've heard about what the Red Wings did

74
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.839
this year is that we weren't gonna
win the Stanley Cup this year now with

75
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:04.160
a old tending the hat, and
and the big complaint was going to be

76
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.120
why the big complaint has been why
didn't we bring up some of that youth

77
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.639
that we've got, that we've accumulated
and let them get some ice time with

78
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.480
the big boys. And that's a
that's a that's a fair complaint. And

79
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:26.439
fighters are you know? We we
we definitely have a number one and number

80
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.680
I think number two starter. I
think case Mayes rounded in the shape now.

81
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:36.279
But in truth, what do we
have maybe three professional hitters in Canada,

82
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.439
Vierling and Green, I mean guys
that you trust with the bat and

83
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:47.120
are in out of fifteen guys.
So keeping the youth up there, letting

84
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.879
them get there at bats? What
I think? What you said, what'd

85
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.160
you say a couple of weeks ago
that three hundred at bats before you can

86
00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:03.000
evaluate her like that? Fifteen fifteen? Okay? But you know so the

87
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.319
Tigers, I'm not going to win
the World Series this year, but well

88
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.160
we can make the playoffs. But
but it's but but if I if I

89
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.439
kept that complain out there about meadows
and cold teeth, that maybe they need

90
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.639
to go down for a few for
a month or a few weeks, then

91
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.120
I'm being the same as what I
was. The Red Wings fans were complaining

92
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.879
about about the Red Wings self.
Yeah, I know, I appreciate it.

93
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.879
Scott have a great Monday, very
interesting call. Basically it's all ohum

94
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.840
moment for Lions fans because of the
trust and he used the word and it's

95
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:46.360
a keyword with with Brad Holmes.
The Tiger's call is a little different,

96
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.879
so he he piques my interest there
because I believe it's a winnable division.

97
00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:01.600
I'm surprised at Cleveland's early success,
especially under a first time manager in Steven

98
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.519
Vote. Stephen Votes, a guy
who he had a long major league baseball

99
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.360
career, never managed, never even
managed at the collegiate or minor league level.

100
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.679
And Cleveland's off too, and it's
it's again early off to a nineteen

101
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.279
to nine start. They won seven
dollir last ten. I'm surprised at Kansas

102
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:28.240
City and their success. This is
a winnable division. I think Tigers fans

103
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.080
should expect them to win the division. I don't. I would argue this

104
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.759
If they don't, it's a disappointment. But he brought up some names that

105
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.759
are interesting on who he thinks are
professional hitters. I'm going to pick it

106
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.240
up on Scott's thoughts after this stay
with us whereas is ex'es and bros.

107
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.240
Across the great State of Michigan.
On the Michigan Sports Network, We'll be

108
00:09:52.279 --> 00:10:01.000
right back in the Dam with Dan
Dickerson. Hey, Tiger's Fans. A

109
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.559
new baseball season means a new season
on Michigan's favorite island destination, Mackinaw Island,

110
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.240
Baseball Spring and Mackinaw Island things that
return every year, reminding us what

111
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.679
a great state we live in.
Shake off the winter blause, taking a

112
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.879
game and playing your trip to America's
top summer destination Mckinaw Island dot org.

113
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.879
In case you weren't convinced by the
finish last year, Terrork schoob Will starts

114
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.559
at twenty twenty four, has helped
make it clear School is one of the

115
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.720
most dominant pitchers in the game right
now. Schoob'll shut out the Royals on

116
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.159
three hits through seven innings on Sunday. It is last eleven starts back to

117
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.279
last September, School has worked sixty
seven innings, allowed just thirty five hits,

118
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.519
ten walks, eighty two strikeouts.
School puts opponents on the defensive right

119
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.279
from the start by filling up the
strike shown with its upper nineties fastball mixed

120
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.600
artfully with one of the best changeups
in the game. His feel for how

121
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.840
to attack a lineup is incredible.
Terrek School is really hitching right now and

122
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:58.679
what we're watching is special. We're
seeing off our tenth year at the Meyer

128
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:16.639
So on the Tigers and asking basically
I almost calling himself out, saying,

129
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.799
look, I called a couple of
weeks back, wanted to give up on

130
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.000
Parker Meadows. Didn't have enough at
bats, and he doesn't. It's way

131
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.679
too early to judge Parker Meadows.
It's a former second round pick. Do

132
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.120
I think he's going to be a
great player. I think he's a really

133
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.399
good defensive player. I think he's
going to be borderline great defensive player.

134
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:41.840
But I don't know, I really
don't know if Parker Meadows is going to

135
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:48.039
be an All Star player. I
don't think he can hit well enough to

136
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.679
do that, but he is young. And then Scott basically said, how

137
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.360
many players do you really trust with
a bat in their hands? And he

138
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.559
mentioned Matt Vierling, who I like
a lot, former fifth round pick out

139
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:09.320
of Notre Dame, Mark Kenna who's
a one year stopgap right and Riley Green.

140
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.519
Now I would remind does this tell
you the state of the Tigers or

141
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:26.440
not listen to this? Matt Vieling's
twenty seven. Matt Verling has nine hundred

142
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.639
and fifty at bats in his career. He's a two sixty two hitter in

143
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:39.600
his career, with twenty home runs
in his career, and he hit one

144
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.320
the other day to win it for
him. And again this has nothing to

145
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.120
do with him. I like him
a lot. Let me give you an

146
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:52.840
idea of who else is twenty seven? And I only bring this up because

147
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.960
Scott got piqued my interest. He
got me thinking, so what I love

148
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.000
about doing the show with callers like
Scott. That's an interesting point. He's

149
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.279
twenty seven and we consider him one
of those guys you trust with a bat

150
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.080
in his hand, but he's a
career two to sixty hitter with only twenty

151
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:26.000
home runs. You know, Wilch's
twenty seven. Jordan Alvarez. Jordan Alvarez

152
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.519
is twenty seven, Ozzi Albis is
twenty seven. Luis old Raise is twenty

153
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.200
seven. Rafael Devers is twenty seven, and Rafael Devers has won a couple

154
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.039
of Silver Sluggers, three All Star
appearances, has one hundred and seventy five

155
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.639
home runs, and is a career
two eighty hitter. Austin Reiley, who

156
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.679
had the game winning RBI for the
Braves yesterday, is twenty seven. Kyle

157
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:58.600
Tucker, phenomenal player, is twenty
seven. Those are the guys you want

158
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:05.519
with a bat your hand. Scott
brings up Mark Canna just a one year

159
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:15.919
guy. He's thirty five. You
know who's older than that, Paul Goldschmidt.

160
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:24.080
Now maybe that's unfair because Paul Goldschmidt
is one of the best of his

161
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:33.679
generation, but still he's incredible.
Seven time All Star, four time Gold

162
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.120
Glover, five times Silver Slugger.
That's that's my point. Man. You're

163
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:46.480
trying you want to get to you
need guys like that. It doesn't assure

164
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.240
you anything, but boy, it
makes you a lot more comfortable, doesn't

165
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:56.639
it When you watch those guys dig
into the box in a tight situation and

166
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:07.159
they're there, that's who you want. When Scott said who do you feel

167
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:15.080
comfortable with as a hitter for the
Tigers? I started searching quickly the file

168
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:21.399
in my brain immediately went who do
I want in that type of situation?

169
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.679
Who's coming through for me? I
like Riley Green a lot, and he's

170
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:33.600
a really good player. What you
got eight hundred and fifty at bets in

171
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:48.039
the majors? We have how shall
I put this? We have lowered our

172
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:56.480
sites to a certain extent, gone
from a Tigers team organization with guys like

173
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:10.039
Miguel Cabrera, Placido Polanco, magleordniez
Ivon Rodriguez, Carlos Gien, Curtis Granderson.

174
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.799
I bring those names up, Tell
me what you think, Tell me

175
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:22.880
who you want in a clutch hitting
situation. Go. You could name any

176
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.519
of them. Most of you would
go with Cabrera. But I could go.

177
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.279
I could talk to eight people.
I might get six different answers.

178
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:45.359
I ask eight different people. Now, who's the answer, Scott saying Mark

179
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:56.759
Canna, Matt Vierling or Riley Green. Think about that. Now, maybe

180
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.079
this flies in the face of what
I was saying and how I believe the

181
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.519
Tigers should win the division and it
should be a disappointing season if they don't,

182
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.599
and don't tell me, don't give
me. The front office coach speaks

183
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:14.079
stuff of well, this is not
no. We tried to calm people down.

184
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.200
We tried to tell them that's not
necessarily the case that we're not ready

185
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.400
to contect a bull crap man.
You bring in Jack Flaherty, kent to

186
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:29.160
my Ada, sprinkle in the young
guys. You're bringing in established players like

187
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:36.640
Canna, like Gio Rochella. Sprinkle
in the young guys. Right, that's

188
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.440
the way teams compete. The division
is weak. We all know that you

189
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:48.680
made great strides a year ago.
You feel like, you know, if

190
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:55.200
last year, if the AL Central
was one with eighty seven victories and it

191
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.279
was by the Minnesota Twins and you
had seventy eight. I'm not saying every

192
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.039
year you got to go up,
but many people felt like you're getting over

193
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.160
eighty wins. Right, Oh,
big deal. Raise the flag that you've

194
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.400
got. You're gonna be near five
hundred. You're trying to tell me the

195
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.920
Tigers shouldn't be expected to win eighty
seven games, And I'm not saying that's

196
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.680
gonna win the division. I'm just
asking you don't think the Tigers should be

197
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.279
expected to win eighty seven games like
they did, like the division champion did

198
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:30.599
a year ago, or or ninety
two in which Cleveland won. In twenty

199
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.519
twenty two, White Sox won the
division with ninety three. You're probably gonna

200
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.400
need about ninety wins. You think
the Tigers could get ninety wins in this

201
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:45.200
division? You should. You should
think that. I've told you about how

202
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.359
disappointing it is that ownership has not
committed financially. They should not rank where

203
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.799
they are not in this market.
Sorry, they shouldn't. They should spend

204
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.799
more money than what they have spent. That doesn't always equate to victories,

205
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:06.240
It doesn't always equate division championships.
But as sure as hell helps, Scott's

206
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:12.440
telling me and telling our listening audience
he feels comfortable with Mark Canna, Matt

207
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:18.799
Verling, or Riley Green in the
box in a tight situation. Nothing against

208
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.279
any of those guys. I don't
know Canada that well Verling and Green.

209
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:30.759
I know them, love them.
Wan am on my team, but listen

210
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:37.759
to what the other teams have to
offer, even within the division. Jose

211
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:51.039
Ramirez, Salvador Perez. These are
big time players and Perez is thirty three,

212
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:57.240
but going into the weekend he led
the American League in robbiies. That

213
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:02.000
tells you. I mean, Scott's
phone call tells you where this team is

214
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.160
at. We talk about the lines
and what their needs are. Hikers need

215
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.559

to go out and get it. Phone

for Van Truver. I think that
was on TT either way. Impressive win

237
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:26.279
for Vancouver. They're now well three

Nikushkin with his first career hat trick. He played over five hundred career games.

242
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.480
That's his first hat trick and it
comes in a playoff. The last

243
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.240
one is an empty net, but
who cares. The Rangers broom Washington for

244
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:57.079
two ur Timmy Peneren had a goal
on and assist. Alexandrovechkin goes the entire

245
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:03.160
series without a point. Edmonton blanked
the Kings won zip. Stuart Skinner with

246
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:10.799
thirty three saves his first career playoff
shutout. They're up three games to one.

247
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:15.599
In the NBA, Clippers beat the
Mavericks by five, despite Kyrie Irving

248
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.559
having forty James Hardenhead thirty three for
LA. Paul George had twenty six of

249
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:26.000
his thirty three in the first half. The MAVs were down thirty one points

250
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.839
and came back and took the lead. Ended up losing, though series tied

251
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.519
to two Minnesota Brooms. Phoenix won
twenty two one sixteen. I used to

252
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:40.839
think that you needed at least three
superstars in the NBA to win a championship.

253
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.559
I don't know if it's I mean, I don't know if that's going

254
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.119
to be true anymore. I know
this Phoenix with Durant and Booker and Beale

255
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:57.279
have three stars. They're not superstars, but they're stars and they get swept.

256
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:02.319
Nicks beat the six Ers ninety seve
ninety two Jalen Brunson because the first

257
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.759
Nick ever with forty points or more
and tennis sists or more in a playoff

258
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:15.559
game. Who would have thought that? Did you anticipate Jalen Brunson out of

259
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:22.200
Villanova as a second round pick to
be this type of player? At me?

260
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.359
Either, you think Dallas is pissed
that they got rid of him,

261
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:36.599
played his first four years in Dallas. He should be in the MVP conversation.

262
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:41.480
He's been incredible for New York all
season long. They're not a two

263
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:47.240
seed in the East without Jalen Brunson. Hell No, and Indiana beats Milwaukee

264
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.079
Pacers at twenty two triples. They're
up three games to one on a Milwaukee

265
00:25:52.200 --> 00:26:00.200
team that is underachieving, plain and
simple, underachieving. Layman on injuries at

266
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:06.519
the Tacampo. Lillard Middleton blame it
on coaching. Doc Rivers, I don't

267
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:11.160
care. Doesn't hide the fact that
they've underachieved. Tiger's are four to one

268
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:18.440
winner. Trek Scoobel incredible seven innings, strike six strikeouts, one run.

269
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:23.359
Fourth Tigers pitcher with four wins and
an ERA under two before May since nineteen

270
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:30.039
thirteen. Franchise been around since nineteen
oh one. Since nineteen thirteen, only

271
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.519
four pictures have done what he's done
so far. When sil Perez with a

272
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:38.960
two run homer his first as a
major leaguer, Meyer hotline is eight six

273
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:42.039
six eight three eight forty eight forty
three. You could text as Sports Radio

274
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.920
twenty one thousand. We got a
phone call. That's right, Ben,

275
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:48.920
What do we got right, truck
or b Hey, there we go,

276
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.400
old friend? What's up? Truck? Will be going a long time?

277
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:57.680
No talk to how you been.
I want to piggyback on what you had

278
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.319
to say about the Tigers. You
know, you know, really you know,

279
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:06.000
I agree with what you have to
say. But there's still a lot

280
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.759
of young pieces there and I believe
Carpenter can be that one. You know,

281
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:19.920
he's still didn't even have a postseason
in foreres It's just lighting my eyes

282
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:25.480
up, like where's this kid coming
from? And he's being a little more

283
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:32.200
selective bias is. Finally, he
struck out the other day and I said

284
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.400
to my wife, that was a
good strikeout, and there's no such thing.

285
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:42.000
But it was slider slider. He
did not swing and they pinned the

286
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.960
fastball on the outside corner. It
says, that tells me he's starting to

287
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:51.839
look at that outside pitch and let
it go, and and he's starting to

288
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:55.559
get on base. And that was
my biggest scripe was he needs to just

289
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:59.039
get on base because if he gets
on first, he's gonna have second.

290
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.559
I know that. I know that, and that's what you know. So

291
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.359
of my problems with him is a
defense. You know, obviously it's obviously

292
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:12.960
stand him, but we do have
a lot of young pieces in there that

293
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.160
still has to grow. Riley,
isn't it If I don't think it is

294
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.640
fully potential. There's sometimes I think, what ick you're doing? But I

295
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:26.039
do that a lot with the players. But but I think Carpenter could be

296
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:32.440
that superstar, I really do.
And Keith, if he needs just to

297
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.759
get out of his own way,
I think he's in his own head right

298
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:38.680
now. Yeah. I like Carrie
a lot. I don't think I would

299
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:45.039
ever tab him as a potential superstar, but I do like him. Here's

300
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.839
my question, though, and I
don't think I totally disagree with you.

301
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:53.640
Jake Rogers is twenty nine, Javier
Bias is thirty one, Jae Rossell is

302
00:28:53.680 --> 00:29:03.920
thirty two, Marcanna is thirty five, Zach McKinstry's twenty nine, Carson Kelly's

303
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.680
twenty nine, Matt Feeling, as
I mentioned, is twenty seven. Do

304
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:14.599
you think they're really that young now? Granted, Cole Keith, Spencer Torkolsen,

305
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.559
he's twenty four, right, but
he does he does have a few

306
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.359
years under his belt. Riley Green
to a certain extent, and Parker Meadows.

307
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.359
I think it's a balance. I
wouldn't call them young. I don't

308
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.960
think i'd call them old either,
but they've got plenty of experience on that

309
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:37.000
team. Shelby Miller's thirty three,
Kentomiadas thirty six, Jack Flaherty's almost twenty

310
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.400
nine, Andrew Chaffin's thirty four they
got plenty of guys. I wouldn't say

311
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:47.119
that they're a young team, would
you. No, But you know you're

312
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:52.279
talking about Flahery being twenty nine.
With twenty nine think that kind of starting

313
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.759
to get into the prime as a
pitcher. And he has seemed to have

314
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:02.640
done a lot better this year than
he had as last years so far.

315
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.400
I mean he's yeah, for sure. I mean last year he was last

316
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:12.559
time, right, the last dounting
was due to aerrors where they scored the

317
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.680
wrongs. I mean sure, they've
been doing really well and then all of

318
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:21.640
a sudden they hit a wall and
start getting some dumb airs again, which

319
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:26.279
is need to clean up obviously.
But yeah, I take it with the

320
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.599
greatest soul. I agree with you. I'm not suggesting that they're they're old

321
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.359
by any stretch. I think they're
experienced though, so there's I think there

322
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:38.640
is a difference between age and experience. You don't have to necessarily say,

323
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:44.240
well, he's an he's a young
player at the age of twenty four if

324
00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:48.519
he has started for four years,
I don't know if that's necessarily young anymore.

325
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.240
If you're telling me that a guy
is old at the age of twenty

326
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.960
seven, but he only has five
hundred and eighty at bats, then he's

327
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:02.960
not necessarily old. I mean there
should be a concern of yours and that's

328
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:04.039
no one will the Tigers, by
the way, I mean, Matt Feverling's

329
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.640
twenty seven, he's got nine hundred
and fifty at bats. I don't even

330
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.440
know if you can make a judgment
on that just yet. But at age

331
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.920
twenty seven, I mean, you
know, eventually you're gonna have to make

332
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.880
a decision on something like that because
he's being viewed more as a role player

333
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:23.200
than he is as an everyday guy. Let me ask you this, What

334
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:33.599
is it about Farling that makes him
so damn likable? He just he's not

335
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:36.559
the one where you go up there
and think, okay, yeah, here

336
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:40.319
we go, here we go.
But then you're not. Isn't there all

337
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:45.039
great? Here comes Rearling and he's
got that I don't know, he's got

338
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:49.640
to I factor. I guess I
want to say I did. He just

339
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.839
liked him from the word go.
It's like that was a nice trait to

340
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:57.720
pick him off. Yeah, here's
what I like him. Here's what I

341
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.640
like about him. Yeah, I'll
tell you this and thanks, Thanks,

342
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.920
to the phone call. It's great
to talk to you again. Call please

343
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:10.279
anytime, truck or by. Here's
what this may sound too simplistic and pollyannish.

344
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:17.359
He's your typical Midwest person. He's
happy, he smiles, he's down

345
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.519
to earth. He's from Missouri.
He went to Notre Dame. He played

346
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:27.920
multiple positions at times. He was
a pitcher. He was a back end,

347
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:32.079
kind of a closer guy at Notre
Dame. He's versatile. I think

348
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.200
what you like about him, or
what I like about him, he battles

349
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:42.920
his ass off, really good stuff. I do. I want him on

350
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:49.720
my team. This is what happens
when you get versatile players. Though people

351
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:55.960
wonder what's his position. He's got
a strong arm, he can play third.

352
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.519
Is he nimble enough. I'm not
calling him Matt Chapman or Nolan Aronato,

353
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:07.799
Ryan McMahon. He could play right
field for you and I'd have no

354
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:12.200
problem. He could play center field
and no problem. Maybe not every day

355
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:19.119
because I think Meadows and Green are
better center fielders than he is, but

356
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:23.400
I'd feel comfortable with him on a
certain day in any of those three positions.

357
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:30.519
And I think he battles and then
you have to ask yourself, where

358
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:37.599
do you fit in a lineup?
And I think that's part of the problem

359
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:40.920
with Detroit. And it's funny because
we're talking about this after a four to

360
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.680
one win and after a series win
over a Kansas City team that had been

361
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:51.559
playing pretty damn good baseball. So
I don't want to be negative. I'm

362
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.200
just thinking out loud. And Scott
brought this up earlier in our conversations.

363
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:02.559
Matt Vierling is batting what fifth in
the lineup had a really good team,

364
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:14.119
He's probably batting eighth or ninth,
And therein lies the issue. You need

365
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.760
power in the middle of the lineup, and I don't think they possess it.

366
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.920
Let's go to another phone call on
the Meyer hotline eight six six eight

367
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.360
three eight forty forty three, Ben, who's waiting for us? Gb Ritz?

368
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:29.519
Nice, g b Ritz? How
are you my friend? Good to

369
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:31.360
talk to you again. I'm doing
well, Matt, doing well, Matt,

370
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:36.880
thank you for taking the call.
And uh, yes, don't be

371
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:40.079
negative. Ship never be negative on
the show, don't We don't want negativity

372
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.559
in Detroit. Trying to be trying
to be realistic though too. Yeah,

373
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:50.400
there's a difference, absolutely, So
my point is the point I was going

374
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:55.760
to suggest is I think Brad Holmes
draft this year was better than last year

375
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:04.559
on this point that that last year
he had six picks in the top six

376
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.760
picks in the first three rounds last
year. Easy to make a big splash

377
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.480
if you pick the right people,
which he did in Laporta, Campbell,

378
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:19.440
Gibbs, and further on down the
line he made he got high quality impact

379
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.159
players that helped the Lions last year. Well, this year he had two

380
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:27.920
picks in the first two rounds and
they were low picks, and then he

381
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.119
traded our third round pick to move
up in the second round, so we

382
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:36.480
were void of a pick till the
fifth round until he maneuvered and got a

383
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:40.480
fourth round pick, and you know, fanagal his way through the later rounds

384
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:45.800
by getting you know, exchanging picks
from next year to get picks this year.

385
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:52.360
He did a masterful job this year
to get the talent to Phil Boyd's

386
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:58.519
on your theory of drafting the best
player available but still getting players to fill

387
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.840
needs. So I think his this
year was on the same pier as last

388
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.920
year. It's interesting I didn't look
at it like that, but now that

389
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:09.199
you've opened my eyes a little bit, and thanks of the phone called gb

390
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:14.559
Ritz, I will have to investigate
that. I've got a whole judgment only

391
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:17.320
because we don't know what these players
are yet, and we do know how

392
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:24.440
effective last year's players were, especially
the three you mentioned, and that may

393
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:30.880
not they may not continue at that
rate, but their rookie seasons. Find

394
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.880
me a better rookie class that Detroit
has had. Those four guys. Let's

395
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:43.480
let's talk four guys. Let's talk
Gibbs and Laporta and Campbell and Branch.

396
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:49.000
I can't think of a better draft
class the Lions have had. I'm going

397
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.639
to reserve judgment on this year's draft
class because even though I like it,

398
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:57.400
I'm not going to claim to know
what kind of player Manu was in British

399
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:02.199
Columbia. I do like the two
picks, not because of need, because

400
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:09.880
of the player. I think Pittsburgh
had arguably the best draft. You know,

401
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.519
Chicago with Williams at a Dunze is
pretty damn strong, But with Pittsburgh

402
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.199
Fatanu. I told you this last
week. He's one of my favorite players

403
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.199
in the draft. He's the tackle
lot of Washington, I think, I

404
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:28.920
tweeted going into the second round.
Zach Frasier might be there. He's the

405
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:34.199
center out of West Virginia, so
I really like him. Pittsburgh drafted Roman

406
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:37.480
Wilson, the wide receiver out of
Michigan. Raft I texted or tweeted,

407
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:43.360
I should say before the start of
the third round, Colson is there or

408
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:47.920
the linebackers are still there. Colson, Wilson, Peyton Wilson. I think

409
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:52.599
I think Colson was taking the second
round by the Chargers. But I love

410
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:58.000
Peyton Wilson. He's the linebacker at
NC State. He's he's a mother trucker.

411
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.440
Part there is that he gets injured. And then they drafted Mason McCormick,

412
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.760
the South Dakota State offensive guard,
highly rated. Those are really good

413
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.199
picks. That's five really good picks
by Pittsburg. But they have more needs.

414
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:15.119
They have more needs than the Lions
do. We need to keep that

415
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:22.199
in perspective, so we'll see.
But I like that perspective gb Ritz.

416
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:28.960
From last year to this year,
maybe at this time of year from now,

417
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.800
we would have a better understanding of
it to see how these guys do.

418
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.559
I'm telling you right now, we
got to be prepared. It's not

419
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:44.400
automatic, but we've got to be
prepared for some disappointment with Rakestraw because he

420
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:49.239
may not start right away and Arnold
because if he does start at times,

421
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.000
he's gonna get humbled. That's just
the way that position is. The wide

422
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.559
receivers, the players, the quarterbacks, they're just too good in the National

423
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.559
Football lay Ben, do you have
any texts we do? This one goes

424
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:06.480
back to the Tigers. It says
the Detroit Tigers current sixteen and twelve record

425
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:13.280
projects to a season ending ninety two
and seventy. That would be nice,

426
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:17.519
that would be it should be enough
to win the division, although if Detroit

427
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:22.119
projects to have ninety two, Cleveland
would project to have more. I don't

428
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:28.760
think a wild card's coming from the
Al Central, but I hope that is

429
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:31.639
on par I would love to see
that. But I think they got to

430
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:37.039
win the division. I truly believe
they should feel like they are the best

431
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:44.280
team in the division. Pitching will
be vital. You know that already.

432
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:51.360
It's going to be so important,
so important, because look, Detroit,

433
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.760
I know Kansas City is just ahead
of them. Detroit is better than Chicago.

434
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:58.119
That's obvious. They're better than Kansas
City. The Royals are just not

435
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:02.440
ready yet they cannot. Don't believe
they can sustain this. I like two

436
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:07.159
of their young players, maybe three, and Massy's got a long way to

437
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.000
go. I don't think he's an
everyday player. But I love Bobby Witt

438
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:17.639
junior, and I really like Vinnie
Pascentino. Outside of that. Not a

439
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:22.679
big MJ. Melendez guy, Kyle
Isbel's just a guy Michael Massey, like

440
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.639
I said, come off the bench. Maybe for me spots start so on

441
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:31.880
and so forth. They're not ready
for that. Cleveland scares me, and

442
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.119
maybe it's because of some balance that
they have and because of their history.

443
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:44.239
But Detroit and Minnesota. Minnesota's got
as much talent, if not. Minnesota

444
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:49.199
probably has the most talent in the
division. But if Detroe can get their

00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:52.199
pitching right and their defense right,
they should win this division. And if

446
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.159
they don't, we should be disappointed. Thanks to the phone calls today on
