Transcript

00:00we now talk about the team with the best record in major league baseball imagine not having an

00:05american league pennant ticket on the detroit tigers from opening day donnie might have to

00:10imagine i do not a 10 to 1 price on the tigers to start off this mlb season i as i have always had

00:18belief in those tigers in motown and now that price has been slashed in half and then some

00:24and now detroit at 31 and 17 has the best record in all of the bigs they got hammered yesterday for

00:32sure under the arch in st louis 11 to 4 by the cardinals but drs you see the stats there a plus

00:3880 run differential 257 177 31 and 17 best mark in the bigs best mark in the american league plus 450

00:48that al pennant price and a 13 to 1 number to win the world series that's where this conversation

00:55goes buy or sell the tigers are legitimate world series contenders buy it because you might say

01:04to yourself what do you mean the detroit tigers are world series contenders at this point no shot donnie

01:10look at the rest of major league baseball yeah look at the rest of them particularly in the american

01:15league we know the yankees are good unbeatable no they're 27 and 19 oh that's right detroit's got

01:2231 wins already on the season and you might treat them as the houston rockets of the nba ah too much

01:28too soon but when you get to the playoffs they can't win why because they might have the best

01:32pitcher in the american league that's going to be pitching in game number one of every series here

01:36where you might be down 0-1 facing detroit whether you like it or not and also understand this point

01:41because if you don't like the detroit tigers to be a legitimate world series contenders which means

01:46ben you don't think they can make the world series who scares you the red sox the blue jays the twins

01:53the royals the mariners and the astros they're right up there with those teams which includes the new

01:58york yankees so before you you know get ahead of yourself and say come on detroit can't win anything

02:03they never win anything this point understand the surroundings why can't detroit just beat those teams

02:09i just named and legitimately a world series contender for me means you must make the playoffs

02:14and get at least past the first round that makes you a legitimate contender for the world series so

02:20for my money i say yes again the yankees are good but the yankees don't even have as many wins as the

02:26detroit tigers do at 31 they are just as good if not better than every major league baseball team here

02:33in the american league why can't they be contenders it's crazy to say but i am absolutely buying

02:39right now the detroit tigers
