Made him trying to get free growing in the corner, Brown fakes, fires
up the three, Brown knocks down the three to tie the game. Well,
I love the way our guys fought in this game. This this loss
is totally on me. With ten seconds in regulation, we should have just
taken the time out, advanced the ball and found a way to get it
in and made a free thrower two and ended the game. But it didn't
happen, and we made some other mistakes. But our guys just need to
concentrate on fighting the way they fought in this game from start to finish.
And we'll be back Thursday to call out Esvn that forced overtime, that Jalen
Roun improbable three man that was a really difficult shot to make hand in a
face in a corner, forces overtime and in Boston wins one thirty three one
eight ot highest scoring conference finals game since nineteen eighty seven. Who played in
that Conference finals anyone? Bueller, Celtics and Pistons Jason Tatum at thirty six,
Jaln Brown twenty six. After that call from Mike Breen and company,
it was then Rick Carlisle, head coach Indiana Pacers, who's done an unbelievable
job with the six seeds so far. He's blaming himself because his team had
a three point lead with the ball with thirty seconds left, couldn't get it
done, so they lose it over time, Boston up one game to none.
The other things they did wrong well, twenty two turnovers, second most
by Indiana this year. It's not as much it wasn't as much about Boston's
threatening defense and over pressuring defense as it was just carelessness on the part of
the Pacers. They were I'm telling you, man, they were better than
I thought. That's this Indiana team. You got to give them a lot
of credit. This is These are the games, even in a loss.
These are the games that kind of turn I think, turn people and make
them go. If I don't have a dog in the fight, it makes
you go, you know. I I'm kind of rooting for them. I
like the I like the way this team gets after it. NBA All Defensive
Team announced Rudy Gobert. No surprise there, Anthony Davis, No surprise there.
Although Anthony Davis said earlier this year, if you recall, Anthony Davis
said the NBA doesn't like me. Do you remember that because he wasn't a
finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, so he said, the NBA doesn't
like me. Go bear. It's his seventh All Defensive selection. Each one
of those he was a first team selection. Davis five times All Defense,
three times he's done it on the first team selection. Bam out of Bayo.
He makes the All Defensive Team for the fifth time as a member of
the Miami Heat. Victor Webbenya sixth rookie in NBA history to make the All
Defensive Team. The other five earned second team honors, though, like Tim
Duncan and David Robinson and Minute Bowl and Keem Elijahana Kareem Abdul Jabarbik with the
Milwaukee buck Back in nineteen seventy, they were all second team. Webbin Yama
becomes the first ever rookie First Teamer. Impressive man. Now you want to
know why Pistons fans get so damn upset for not getting a guy like that.
The other mentioned is Herb Jones. He's the other first team selection,
first time that that's happened for him in his career. That's your NBA look
right there, all right? NHL tonight Rangers and Panthers Eastern Conference Finals.
Second ever playoff meeting between the two teams. First one was back in nineteen
ninety seven. That's when Gretzky scored a natural hat trick and they won in
the quarters. New York in the Conference finals for the second time in three
years, they are trying to become the first President's Trophy winner to reach the
finals since the Blackhawks in twenty thirteen. Meanwhile, the Panthers are trying to
become the second team in recent memory to reach the finals after losing the finals
of the year before. Do you know the last team to do that?
The Pittsburgh Penguins in two thousand and nine. Red Wings beat Pittsburgh in two
thousand and eight. I was there. Pittsburgh turned around beat him in two
thousand and nine. I was there, And in case you missed it,
we talked about the first half hour of the show. Royals blow out the
Tigers ten to three. I saw in social media last night. I don't
know why I do this to myself. Maybe you do it too. Social
Media can be great for news, information, statistics. It can also be
one big sesspool. But somebody had said on social media trade Trek Schooble if
you're not going to pay him. So maybe I thought was, what do
you mean trade him now? I'll be the I'll be full discoolsure here.
I wanted him to trade him a couple of years ago, get as much
as you could before he got hurt. Remember he's been hurt a couple of
times. He's had elble slash soulder surgery twice. He's a Scott Boris agent,
or Scott Boris is his agent. I don't know how much he's going
to warrant on the market when he does become available, Okay, because Boris
has got clients like Harper and Seeger and Soto and Cole and Schurzer and j
D Martinez and Xander Bogart's, Carlos Rodon, James Paxton and Jim reu Sean
Maniah Arius, those guys all right. For the top ten paid pitchers are
Boris agents or Boris clients. I mean, would do you think it's going
to cost Detroit more than what it costs to pay Blake Snell or Carlos Rodin
Rodn at twenty eight million. It's not like he's asking for Verlander Schuzer to
gromd Mone. He's not going to get that, right, He's not getting
forty million. Garrett Cole makes thirty six. That's not happening. But I
found that interesting on social media that people were saying, already ready to give
in on something like that. Meyer hotline eight six six eight three eight forty
eight forty three, even tech Sports ready to twenty one thousand. Let's hit
those phone lines. Ben, who's waiting for us? Yeah, we got

but man, he was in the late sixties. Well anyway, yeah,
Steve Boros was. He was the third basement, right, yeah, yeah,
so he played back. Yeah, he played back in the sixties.
Yep, mid sixties. I believe he's seventy. He'd be seventy four now
he's seventy four. Steve Borros's oh oh, he's from right, went to
University of Michigan and played at Northern High School in Flint. Oh, I
didn't know that. Hey, you know, I liked your interview with Tim
Lester. You know he was he was with the original XFL Chicago Fire way
back when they played Saturday nights and hot summer nights. And his backup was

kind of people. They just wanted to be in the game somewhere, you
know, football's football. They you know, they're getting their reps and their
experience. I like yourview, Yeah, thank you, Yeah, you get
to to what you know. Right he was a he was a six round
draft pick in the XFLU as well. Uh played in the Arena Football League.
I think I think it was in Carolina and Memphis. But yeah,
I look. I enjoyed the interview because he's got a he's got an uphill
challenge with that terrible Iowa offense, that's for sure. Oh yeah, but
what about Iowa. You notice they they put all pro to Hall of Fame
tight ends every year. I think of all the great tight ends that are

mind in the world of sports? We're open to it. Royals win over
the Tigers ten to three, the disappointment of Casey Mize. Yesterday, Kansas
City out thirty one in nineteen Tigers a season worst two games under the break
even. Terrek Scuoble gets the call. Trek scouble is Derek Scoobl's the guy,
right, He's the guy to stop things. Tigers have lost three straight,
They've lost three straight series. They've lost twelve of the last seventeen.
They've lost nine of their last twelve on the road. Who do you turn
to? You turn to the guy who is your ace? What does an
ace mean? Ace isn't just your best pitcher. An ace is the guy
who's going to take the bump on a regular basis. Got to be available
to be an ace, right and he throws against Cole Reagan's today. Got
to be available. Got to give your team innings, and you've got to
get wins. Stop the bleeding, not that they had any in Philadelphia.
The Phillies have been playing incredible baseball. Lead the league in wins with thirty
five. They've now won nine of their last eleven or twenty seven and six
in their last thirty three. First time since nineteen oh one they've won twenty
seven games in a thirty three game span. That's a long time. Harper
goes yard for his eleventh yesterday and got a good story on Harper coming up
here. But Ranger Swarez is nine to zero, one of the best whips,
walks, hits, beratings pitched in baseball. One more win and he
matches a career high. Already, He's not their ace. They could have
one of two, Aaron Nola or Zach Wheeler, and now you've got Ranger
Suarez. But they get the offense. There are offense clicks at the same
time, and this will go full circle for what we've said for a long
time, everyday players Schwarber, Realmuto, Harper, Bohm, Stott, Castianos,
six guys in there every day. And lately it's also been Cody Clements,
former Tiger given up to Philadelphia with Juan Soto or with Greg Rissoto Foro,
Matt Wierling, who's been a decent player for Detroit, Nick Maton no
longer here, and Donnie Santz, who just signed a minor league deal with
the San Francisco Giants. How's that trade looking now? Nick Mayton is in
the Oriole system, so he basically traded Greg ray Soto, who if you
didn't want him as a closer, he'd still be a good left handed reliever.
And Cody Clemens, who you drafted, who's an absolute baller. I'm
not saying he's an All Star. I'm not saying he's an everyday player.
He's a major league player. He gets after it, he busts his ass
every day. He's a grinder. Got rid of those guys for two guys
who are no longer in your system, and Matt Verlin. So it's Matt
Verlin for those two guys. And I like Matt Verling. I think he's
an important piece, but wouldn't trade those two guys for him, would not
have that has not worked out just yet. And you can't deny what the
Phillies did a year ago with the trade while the Tigers were muddling, and
you know, playing nick maton because everybody liked the little wolf in his damn
locker and everybody everyone got caught up and calling him Wolfie. We love these
little nicknames and start howling on the air and stuff's ridiculous. Anyway, talking
about the Tigers a little bit, and we were talking about just before the
break, how people on social media yesterday were talking about trading Terrek School,
which floored me. You want to give up your best guy right now,
and they want to do it because they don't think long term they're going to
pay them. That could be okay, you think the value is at its
highest, okay, because you don't want to You don't want to do a
Michael Former situation right where you held on too long and then nothing came about.
By the time you did trade him, you got nothing in return.
They tried to convince us that we did get something in return, but you
didn't. That's my favorite look at what we have coming our way. Oh
great, and then they hope you forget and most of us do most of
us recognize, Oh okay, I see now, I remember you remember the
guy you had. What you don't remember is the guy you got four the
guy you had because unless that guy makes it. Do you remember Sawyer Gibson
along right? Yeah, and he's been all right fullmore was at the end
of the deal and at the end of his career. Really, people talking
about that on social media yesterday before School makes his start today against Cole Reagan's
because they don't think the Tigers can afford him. Guy with two elbow surgeries
or two arm surgeries? Arm elbow? How much do you think he's going
to make? What do you think the number on that contract will be?
We don't know just yet because it hasn't hit yet. He continues at this
rate, but the team continues at this rate. Sure, I understand why
you'd think about it. A team out there would tell me me. A
team that wouldn't want I got like Trek School in their rotation, Absolutely you
would. So I understand to a certain extent the mindset. Not right now,
I don't. As a general manager, you probably have to be thinking
along those lines. If it continues at this rate, how much would you
be willing to give? Those are the things that you're the conversations have to
have. You have to have those types of conversations of how much eventually do
you think he's going to get? I mentioned Bryce Harper. Did you see
the story about what Harper did helping a New Jersey high school student? Did
you see this? Ben? I did? Not? Kids and neighbor walked
up to Harper's house, knocked on the door. Couldn't believe that. Harper
answered the door, asked him if he would help him get a prom date.
Harper said, to tell you what, give me a email. Will
have to think about it. He goes, nah, Actually, let's do
this right now. They go over to the young girl's house. Harper knocks
on the door, she answers, comes out. She asks him, would
you go to prom with him? Girl says yes, hugs Harper first.
Then the kid, Jake Portello, a senior at Haydenfield Memorial High School,
father comes out, shakes Harper's hand, and there's your prom date. Because
going to PROMI is all about how you ask somebody, not who you ask.
But how you ask them. How cool is that though that Harper helps
ask the girl to prompt and then he homers Last Night Exes and Bros.

We've been hitting on the Tigers problems in case you just joined us.
Lose to Kansas City last night. The Royals won five straight ten of thirteen.
They're thirty one wins through fifty games, sixteen more than a year ago.
This is a team that has improved quickly from a year ago, who
they finished in last place in the division. Last year they were horrid.
They were not fun to watch. What has turned the corner a lot of
different things. Bobby Wood Junior primarily really good player. Two homers last night,
six RBIs had a stolen base. Third player to ever do that in
a Royals uniform with Bo Jackson and Carlos Beltram. Fourth career multi homer game,
fourteenth career homer and stolen base game, which is tied with Ronald Acuna
since twenty twenty two, and that's when Witt made his major league debut.
His home run off Casey Meis in the second travel four hundred and sixty eight
feet. It's the third longest of the year. Only Aaron Judge and My
Trout, known as home run hitters, have hit them further Schoogle throws for
the Tigers here today against Cole Reagan's two o'clock or so. As the Tigers
try and snap a three game slide and try to drop out of a funk
that has seen them lose twelve of seventeen and nine of twelve on the road,
Casey Maiz takes the loss. Detroit has lost each of his last four
starts after winning each of his first five starts. It was his shortest stint
of his career and forty eight career starts one and one two thirds innings or
one in excuse me, one in two thirds innings. So Detroit is now
eight and a half back. Because Cleveland won again yesterday, you're gonna start
looking at the at the standings. There's going to be a time where it's
gonna go. Okay, I'm yeah, I gotta pay attention here. They're
forty nine games deep, they're not even at the halfway point. But this
is what you have to ask yourself. Do you believe a team like this
can reel off a nice long winning streak similar to that of the Philadelphia Phillies
to get them back in it, while at the same time the teams they're
chasing would fall flat. That's what you have to ask yourself. What's your
answer? I say, yes, I believe they can't. They haven't given
me any indication that they can, but I do believe this team has that
ability because of its pitching. They better get this hitting right Meyer hotline eight
six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. Then who's with us?
Yeah? We got Maury and Grand Rapids. Maury, good morning, thanks
for listening there in Grand Rapids on WAX ninety six point one FM. The
game. What's going on? Hey, mag good morning to you too.
You know, I'm thinking to myself about this Tigers team. Okay, if
if we if Torkal Center or Byas or any combination of them, to where
somebody was just having a reasonably good season. Yeah, I don't think that
Tarik Scooble conversation even hits the hits the market yet, you know what I
mean? And that's like the bare minimum that we could you know, hope
for because we we all know, you know, hey, if Green and
Torque and and Byas were hitting good and you were getting you know, some
some support here and their way, you know, we'd be we'd we'd have
a totally different perspective. By point of bringing that up is look how Volido
it is, well a team like the Tigers that the narrative can can change
so quickly compared to another team like you who's Castiana's playing for is Hemphilliser,
Yes he is. Yeah, Okay, so you mentioned their lineup and it's
like, yeah, you know what, you know that lineup might struggle a
little bit, but in the long run, man, the numbers are going
to prove out and they're going to be there. And this team doesn't have
that luxury to think that way at all. And I right think and man,
how different it is. Man, how quickly the narrative can change it.
Yeah, yeah, it's because you want. Look, I don't care
what anybody says. I don't care how smart you are in the front office.
I don't care how smart you are in a dugout. There's plenty of
them out there who are a hell of a lot smarter than me. But
here's what I do know. The best teams in baseball are built with everyday
players. And you want find me a team that's won a championship in any
sport that uses guys who are I don't know, really versatile and not being
your everyday guys in certain positions, basketball, football, hockey, out of
crack, I don't care what the sport is. Find me the team that
is full of a bunch of guys who can play different positions and do it
differently each game, and that then there's there's your champion. I don't think
you're finding it a team full of Ryan Rayburns. Yeah, I mean,
go ahead, Ryan Rayburns, go Shane Halter's goal. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. Look, I love players you're talking about right there.
Trying to win with guys like that every day. That's just a great point,
man, you know your baseball. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah,
I appreciate it. You do too more, I appreciate Look, I
love players like go ahead and fill in the blank ben Zobrist. I like
them. Do you remember Ben Zobras? Yeah, he was a really good
player. I think every team needs a player like that. I just don't
want them starting every day. Go ahead, have some fun with whatever.
I mean, I don't care. Pick a year, okay, and then
go find a team that was successful, that is winning, all right,
and tell me what their lineup looks like on an everyday basis. And you're
gonna get guys who are everyday players. In baseball, it's the best teams.
Six we'd just say six guys. Yeah, hey, man, basketball,
you're rotating eight guys for the most part, eight or nine guys.
You know, Monty Williams played too many guys last year. Even he admitted
that you'd like to play about eight or nine guys. Okay, the five
or six are the same guys every time, seven, eight, nine,
they might change a little bit. The best hockey teams, those guys are
dressing every single night. You're gonna rotate your goalies once in a while,
but the great goalies, they're playing the lion's share of your games. Okay.
Same thing in football, some reason you have special teams. The guys
who aren't playing every single series in offense or defense are playing on your special
teams. Baseball is no different. Baltimore has a payroll similar to that of
the Detroit Tigers. It's a little misleading because there's so many young players.
They're gonna actually have to pay things eventually down the road. Think of the
guys who are playing every day for Baltimore, Adelie Rushman, Gunner Henderson,
Jordan Westberg, Ryan Mountcastle, Anthony Santander, Edrick Mullins, Colton Kowser.
There's those are seven guys I just mentioned right there. Seven. Those are
the guys who are playing every single day. And Rushman, well it probably
is a d H as much as catching, but he's a catcher. Look
at the Boston Celtics go ahead shift shift gears if you want, go ahead,
change the change them narrative if you will. From baseball to basketball,
Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, Derek White, uh Peyton Pritchard, Chris Christofspersing
has been hurt, Drew Holliday, Al Horfords. I just named six guys
they're playing every day or the majority of it. Okay, or Zingis was
hurt, but he's in that rotation. Did I say Al Horford he's a
little older, but he still plays a lot. Those are the guys you're
playing. That's why they win. Those guys are good and they deserve to
play. Now, you could make the argument if you wanted, that the
Tigers don't have that type of talent to play every day, and I agree
with you. That's why my point has been, you've got to get those
guys. Don't give me this in spring training or in training camp or all
this other stuff. Okay, well we've got a really versatile team. That
tells you you don't have everyday players. Now you'll look at the statistics and
you'll say Green is playing every day, Chorkleson's playing every day bias for the
most part, verely are those guys worthy? And I like Spencer Troklesen.
It's bad to eighteen man, he's got an be of under three hundred,
it's got a slugging under three point fifty. That's an issue. I'm not
saying, benjam I'm just saying, we're talking about guys who you know every
single day they're gonna produce for you. You're gonna put him in the lineup
and they're gonna play that position and you're gonna be fine. I don't know
where the hell Mark Canna is gonna play. I don't know where Matt Verlink's
playing. Just a big believer in that. Too often, I'll be the
first to admit, too often I harken back to the eighty fourteen It's not
necessarily fair. It's just not because they were world champions and they are universally
loved in this town, just like the sixty eight team was. Most championship
teams are, right, So let's not do that. Let's not go back
and suggest that that's the team that you know, everything's measured against. So
let's not do that. Let me just how about twenty twelve. Twenty twelve
team won eighty eight games. Not too much to ask, right, who
are your everyday players. Avila fielder right, Peralta, Cabrera, Jackson,
there's five right there. I bring that up because Maury mentioned Ryan Rabert,
he was on that team. There's five right there. Omar and Fonte was
at second base, right, but he wasn't an everyday guy. Andy Dirks
played a little bit, Brendan Bosch played a little bit. But for the
most part, you're talking about five or six guys every single game. They're
out there twenty eleven, same thing, Avila Cabrera, Peralta, Ing,
Jackson, Ordniez, Victor Martinez. Seven guys every single day. Jim Leland
wrote out the lineup, and he knew who he was going to have in
his lineup. He knew he was going to have at least those seven guys.
Ramon Santiago would go back and forth, Rayburn and Kelly. Your utility
guys quote unquote, Your utility guys were Rayburn and Kelly. You get some
at bats for Andy Dirks, maybe for Delman Young, but overall, you've
got seven guys every day producing and in your lineup. This team doesn't have
that. They don't have it. That's what would make some people a little
skeptical. I don't think they're going to be able to do that. You
said, can they string it together? They haven't shown it yet. What
makes you think they can. This has more to do with my belief that
the other teams can't keep this up, that Cleveland and Kansas City can't keep
this up, and you know, shame on me if they can't, because
I haven't been that makes me a doubter. I can't. I just haven't
seen that. I'm having a hard time grasping. Not that I was wrong,
I can plenty of times I've been wrong, hard time grasping that those
teams have enough talent to continue at this rate. We're talking about tied for
the best fifty game stretch in the history of the Kansas City Royals, and
they've had some pretty good teams. So it's more to do with that than
anything else. And there's some hope in there. I'm hoping that the Tigers
can do something like that, and in fairness, they're about to play game
fifty right now. I need to go a little bit deeper. I need
to see them a little bit longer. I don't think this is the right
sample size yet. When will I get there? A few more weeks.
If you're at seventy games, if you're at seventy games and you're still like
this up and down, unable to get something really good together. Remember at
the beginning of the year they did string it together. They went six and
oh they started ten and three on the road, So you know it's in
them. So there's another reason why I think it's a possibility. Keeping the
fingers crossed back to the phone lines on the Meyer hotline, then who's with
us? You have? We got David Hudsonville. Hi, Dave, good
to talk to you again. Yeah, morning, chef, you too.
Hey, Listen, your your tiger sisty is impressive. Man, you're pulling
out those guys that Dolman Young's and those other's. Well done by you.
That that takes some memory, man, well done. But you know,
your point too, is great. And I think one of the things you
said that makes a lot of sense is in baseball especially, you need production.
And you don't necessarily need production out of all nine, but you need
to have a couple of guys that are having really strong years, you know
what I mean, are really consistent threats, and then you need to have
some guys that just give you you know, they get hot at times,
because I think you need to have two to four guys that are hot,
you know, And what hurts us, I thought that Austin Meadows, it
is too bad because you need kind of a table setter. Sont even on
base and you know, find their way on and we're getting some walks,
we're having better at bats, but I just don't feel like we have those
guys that really and especially like you talk about Torque right now or a few
others that go up there and you feel like, other than maybe Riley Green
and that they're a dangerous offensive threat. And Mark Kann is a professional hitter.
But other than that, we don't have enough offense right now. Producing
and I think the key term is producing on a consistent basis to be a
threat. Yeah. I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree one
hundred percent. I think what is It's not that I don't like Mark Connell,
Okay, I do. I think he's been a fine pickup for them.
If people say he's a professional hitter, I'm not saying you, okay,
so don't take this personally. Date right, he's a two to fifty
career, lifetime hitter. I mean, I'm not sure if you have no
numbers. Yeah, I don't. I don't understand what people say when they
go, oh, he's a professional hitter. I just what do you mean?
So that shows you, though, how weak the Tigers are. When
we think Mark Canna is one of our more consistent offensive drives, he should
be like our six or seventh guy. You know, yeah, no doubt.
I mean his best year he hit two seventy three. Okay, yeah,
that was in Oakland in twenty nineteen. We hit two seventy three and
he hit twenty six bops. And yeah, you take that, you take
it for sure. The problem is, Dave, we've lowered the bar.
We've lowered the bar so much that we think and thanks for the phone,
