00:00Just an incredible, incredible run.

00:02And now, look, the funny thing is, we talk about logic

00:06and how a lot of this defies a lot of baseball logic.

00:10Kang, you brought up off the air that no team with metrics like this,

00:14like without a hundred RBI guy or...

00:1675 or something like that RBIs, like without guys over 25 home runs.

00:22Certain, you know, it's amazing.

00:24Just the offensive player batting over a certain average.

00:27They have none of that offensively.

00:29They have one guy with over 20 home runs.

00:31Yep.

00:32And it's Riley Greene.

00:33They have one guy with over 70 runs driven in.

00:35It's Riley Greene with 74.

00:36Yep.

00:37They have nobody hit 300 this year.

00:39Bam.

00:41Kerry Carpenter led the way with a 284 batting average.

00:45But...

00:46On paper.

00:47On paper.

00:47And then you go for who had above average OPS.

00:52Matt Vierling, Parker Meadows, Riley Greene, and Kerry Carpenter.

00:56And Kerry Carpenter was special with a 932 OPS.

00:59Yep.

00:59So, you know, that...

01:01But logic would dictate that the Tigers have to win Game 1.

01:08I kind of feel like they have to win Game 1.

01:10I think Game 1's a must win.

01:11I mean, so we're talking about Scooble here,

01:14getting the baseball in the biggest of stages, right?

01:19Postseason, Game 1, kind of have to win it.

01:23Get that first game.

01:25And yet, I swear, I throw logic out with this group.

01:29I think they have something about their makeup where they are unfazed.

01:37Completely unfazed.

01:38And you know, we hear this saying a lot in sports,

01:41and I think it might apply to this Tiger team.

01:44They truly, truly have that,

01:48honestly, just happy to be here look.

01:51Now, sometimes years, you know, when years pass, you go,

01:53well, the first time we went, we were just happy to be there.

01:56But I don't know that that doesn't work for this group.

02:00And what I mean by that is,

02:02they're kind of a house money group right now that feels no pressure.

02:06How these young kids down the stretch felt,

02:09nope, didn't seem to cave under the pressure.

02:13Because they didn't.

02:14They didn't cave at all.

02:15They took the pressure,

02:18and they either re-channeled it or whatever.

02:20Whether it was brilliance of AJ or just these guys are immune to it.

02:25I think being just happy to be there can work in your favor as well,

02:29because they're going to go out and do what they've been doing.

02:32Worry about this game, this next pitch, this next inning.

02:36And all those cliches that they keep using over and over again,

02:40so much that you're starting to believe that that's exactly some of the secret sauce.

02:44You know who led the Tigers in games played this year?

02:52Wow.

02:55Colt Keith?

02:56Colt Keith.

02:58With 148 games played.

03:00Led the Tigers in games played over Matt Verling,

03:02who would have been my guess at 144.

03:06Ryan the Green, 137.

03:09I mean, McKinstry at 118.

03:12McKinstry was the first name that popped into my head.

03:14Wenzel Perez played 112 games for the Tigers this year.

03:17It's incredible.

03:18That's more than Torkelson played.

03:20By 20.

03:2326, actually.

03:25The Tigers have just sent a release that there will be a watch party

03:30at Comerica Park tomorrow.

03:31Doors open at 1.30, first pitch 2.30.
