Transcript

00:00very random names in baseball and maybe that's the way that randomness has worked for the

00:04Detroit Tigers Trey Sweeney 522 on the week one home run six runs driven in break up the Tigers

00:11man right now let me take a look at their record just make sure I got this right yeah they've won

00:16five in a row they're 26 and 13 and I know that you're gonna think that this is fake that's

00:23probably fine but I think it's now time to start talking about it here I waited you know a little

00:29bit over a month I'd probably be wrong on my show and on the early line this is my team to win the

00:37American League and go to the World Series I'm feeling like there's a chance of this actually

00:42happening Sweeney has been a nice you know little bit player but that's the thing George they have

00:47all of these little bit players with this amazing pitching staff I gotta tell you when it comes to

00:52the Tigers I don't believe this is a pirate situation I think that ownership group and that

00:58family is gonna go all in man at the deadline I think they're gonna take a real shot at thing I

01:03think that the opportunity is there no one in the American League has really separated themselves

01:07I think the Yankees will probably be there in the end and there's a lot of good teams in their

01:10division but it's week after week we're talking about different players on the Tigers coming through

01:15on this May 10th I uh you can make a fair argument that they are the best team in the American League

01:22and uh I agree the Tigers will spend money I have no doubt they'll spend money they'll go out and get

01:26a bat or I think it's what they'll need a bad bullpen help at the deadline here uh starting pitching

01:31what's really nice about them we know Scoople's great right now you had Flaherty you know fine a

01:36nice veteran pitcher there you got Mize you got Jobe Reese Olsen's been good they can throw a quality

01:40start at you almost every game right and that's that's nice to come out there because their offense

01:44does have some issues here although Torkelson looks like he's going to be that guy we've been waiting

01:48for Glaber Torres when helped he has been he's been good Riley Green's been a little up and down

01:53here but uh was the player of the week last week right so uh yeah uh but I also think this tells you

01:57how mediocre the American League is because if you're not going to say that if you don't believe

02:02oh no it's not the Tigers then it's the Seattle Mariners right maybe they're the best team another

02:07team that right once again can throw quality starts to every game here and they're they're hitting

02:11the Yankees they have some actually the American League is the is sort of watered down

02:16Yankees Red Sox that has nothing to do with Devers by the way uh Jays uh Rays or Orioles none of them

02:22really are the team maybe we thought they were going to be this year uh so yeah I think I think

02:26the American League is wide open and why not the Detroit Tigers you know of Seattle Mariners we've

02:31sort of been waiting for a couple of years but I'm with you with Tigers on this May 10th may be the

02:35best team in the American League
