00:00Especially today if Cleveland beats, Minnesota if Cleveland beats, Minnesota in a game that starts just over an hour

00:05And no, we're not carrying it live. Although we suggested we might want to

00:08But if Cleveland beats, Minnesota, then yeah, all the hard math is done and it's literally Detroit just needs to play one

00:14Babe one game better than the Minnesota Twins now

00:17I suppose it's possible that means that Detroit can't go one at eight and Minnesota goes on with nine and then somebody like Seattle could

00:23zoom past them, but

00:25They will have essentially

00:27Put this thing to a point where they don't totally control their own destiny

00:31But the math becomes really easy and for a while there what I mean by that is do you remember how many times you heard?

00:35the following

00:36Well, if the Twins only play 500 baseball the Tigers have to play 800 baseball for two months and they can't possibly do that

00:43What does that mean? Yeah. Well now it's now they're a half game behind and

00:48It's because the Tigers have nine games left the Twins have ten games left

00:51Including the final game of the season the Twins will play against the Cleveland Indians today their last game with the Indians

00:57The tribe the gribe the Guardians, whatever the hell they are

01:01The Twins are gonna play him for the final time today

01:05Then they'll have nine games left if they lose that game

01:08Tigers Twins same record the math is easy just be one game better than them in the meantime

01:12Well, you know, I'm on board with it. Yes, you're Gators in favor of easy math in the meantime

01:18Holy crap, they really are reeling in Kansas City

01:21Who's who's two games ahead of Detroit?

01:24Funny what happens when you sweep it to you. Yeah

01:27And now the Tigers are off to Baltimore for a huge weekend series, and I'm I've readjusted my expectation to me

01:34That's a survival series. They have to survive that if they survive that series

01:39Then they've got six home games to wrap up the season against Tampa and the White Sox

01:45They don't have to play 800 baseball anymore people

01:49They just have to be at this point two games better than the Twins

01:54But that could this game this afternoon feels like a huge one. It's it is. This is a this is a massive series

02:01It starts with the first game

02:03with

02:04the Tigers against it Baltimore is a big one, but the one this afternoon with

02:08Minnesota and Cleveland it would really

02:11Really be unbelievable if Cleveland does

02:14Win the game today, but this series against Baltimore the Tigers as much as I want to get ahead of myself and look

02:20Oh if they if they win this series if they sweet none, uh, it's it's really about the first game

02:25Can they get that done looking at Kansas City what they have in the future?

02:29Three games starting tomorrow. So the weekend series they've got against San Francisco San Francisco played spoiler a little bit this week

02:36Then they go on the road to finish the last six games at Washington and at Atlanta. That's not easy and

02:44This is why it was important to sweep, Kansas City

02:47They try to reel them in because you might be able to pass them you might

02:51But you got it. You got to be able to survive Baltimore survive Baltimore and anything is possible
