00:06yikes how's everybody doing sincerely uh despite the detroit tigers best efforts i do hope everyone
00:13had a wonderful memorial day weekend and what you heard there may have been rock bottom no uh
00:22i'll get to that in a second i i'd like to thank the tigers they they took the day off
00:27yesterday
00:27and they allowed detroit the public service enjoy a fantastic day glorious and you didn't have to
00:35be held hostage watching this team nope that was my god i mean you were up in both games
00:43i just look there it always too that was an ouncer's curse i think even double d would say it
00:49the
00:50minute you start you're bagging the other team you're basically saying this guy can't hit his
00:53way of a paper bag you got your your your color analyst going ah pop up how about a pop
00:59up cut
00:59scene yammo again kenley jansen sticks this is what happens and i said it then i get to say it
01:07now
01:07so it happens when you sign a 38 year old off an outlier season late in his career
01:12sweet oh two pitch if it's little league and little bobby needs a pick me up so look we dude
01:20on oh two
01:21that might be the worst pitch in the major leagues this season and a guy who does struggle hitting
01:28off speed pitching on oh two how does that happen the answer is it doesn't so i'll move on but
01:37i wanted
01:37to ask this question because look you you've i have a question you've posed a question this is good
01:46how close are you to writing this team off you heard the audio if you're local in detroit
01:51statewide i don't know if you get the auto update but jim boden basically said they need to start
01:56shopping scoobal now um and also the other thing i would tell you too is you're going to see a
02:03lot
02:03of reporting on the salary you will get more for scoobal if you're willing to pick up that pro-rated
02:10amount so this is truly going to test the detroit tigers organization are you willing to spend money
02:15you've already spent or do you want to save money meaning the other team would have to pick up the
02:20pro-rated amount look these are all things but i wanted to ask the question of how close are you
02:25to writing them off and then rico actually kind of one-upped me from the beard research institute
02:30this is a better question could this series with the angels become rock bottom could no dan i'm not
02:37kidding that was real kenley jansen threw the worst pitch in the major leagues all year oh two room
02:43service the only thing missing was kevin mccallister's ice cream sunday cart from home alone too
02:53yeah the minute that ball left kenley jansen's hands it was immediate regret it's like he didn't
03:00hit the brakes fast enough and now i'm going over a cliff but this series with the angels okay we've
03:08now found the only team worse than you in the american league right they're pitching a guy bobby
03:14pocahontae i've never heard of this guy ever i don't know who he is he may as well be giovanni
03:20manu of baseball i don't know who this guy is he's an egg yes no profile he'll actually go out
03:26and
03:27silhouette for him tonight if if you don't win this series you lose two out of three to the angels
03:33are we officially declaring this thing done and we're trading scoogle is that where you're at
03:38back the dirt up yep just go ahead at this point that's when you call up all the competitive teams
03:44and say make me your best offer plain and simple you dodgers cubs braves padres yankees yankees
03:53mets if you want to you got money and maybe you can jump start your team make me an offer
03:59i want to
04:00bring something up though there was a quote and it was either late friday night or early saturday
04:06but it's relevant because all weekend they kept running that same cursed lineup out there the same
04:12lineup where riley doesn't hit higher than fourth and we have to look at zach short and jami jones and
04:19when seal perez did you see what aj hinch had to say yeah because this is the stuff that upsets
04:25me
04:25and i give cookies and jansen full credit i mean they they they asked him questions they tried to
04:31get him to talk about it they just couldn't get anywhere basically aj was asked about and this
04:37was in the evan petzled piece um you know how come you're not calling somebody up we've talked about
04:43max anderson we've talked about players we don't even know we've talked about you know frank valencia
04:49orange sure led the team in homers last year yeah big juice big citrus yeah um but aj's quote tells
04:59you
04:59who these people are well it's not that simple there are roster ramifications and playing time
05:07ramifications okay let's do it this way who the hell am i supposed to care about that those ramifications
05:15would be who do i like we got to take colt keith down off the the altar here guys need
05:23a home run
05:23nine months and i uh wonderful your best singles hitter in the league okay you're also an egregiously
05:30bad defender when seal do i care if when seal perez ever plays here again no how about zach shorty
05:37was dfa'd
05:37may 5th hell he'd clear waivers in a heartbeat he'll just be happy not to be working at the olive
05:43garden
05:44who jamai jones who do i care exactly like this idea of of them managing this thing like it's last
05:53year last year it was no no we need jamai jones because he's the carrie carpenter offset well he's
05:59not like that quote rico drove me nuts they keep running the same lineup out there this angel series
06:08represents the end it is this is the only team worse than you in the al this is it exactly
06:14if you
06:15don't but my thing if you don't sweep them you gotta you gotta win the series walk before you run
06:22win an effing series rico the month is about to end they haven't won a series since they took two
06:30or
06:30three from the rangers on may 1st and 2nd let's walk before we run can you get two games that's
06:39what we're because if you don't you're gonna officially call it that's it man that right you
06:44you've now become the worst team in baseball here's the other note okay and and and i don't
06:50look i just got to be straight with you you guys know this i think there are two silos and
06:56i've always
06:56been very complimentary of scott harris with the development silo the drafting modernizing the
07:03franchise and i i do believe both these things can be true guys i think he's done a very good
07:08job
07:08now here's where he's falling down the stairs i did a deep dive because i had spare time do you
07:15want
07:15to talk about what scott harris has done in free agency i mean can we do here here's 2023
07:22matthew boyd for 10 mil lorenzen for eight and a half and carson kelly the trade deadline he trades
07:29lorenzen to philly for hi you lee i mean okay eduardo rodriguez disaster remember with the dodgers the
07:38whole thing okay and we know about the draft clark mcgonigal anderson okay fine but the free agency
07:44stuff yikes how about 2024 free agency my ada two at 24 jack flarity one at 14 chafin one at
07:53five
07:53shelby miller one at three geo or shella i mean it was basically free clarity then that wasn't a bad
08:01deal my point is none of this moves the needle now you traded flarity for trey sweeney and lorenzo now
08:09listen lorenzo may pan out geo or shella sweeney forget it you traded mark canna to the giants for
08:16some guy named eric silva sure chafin for nobody your draft can't be evaluated but everyone seems
08:24to like bryce rainier okay 2025 free agency estelle getty one year 15 million that's alex cobb he never
08:32showed up to work he was peter in office space glaber torres one at 15 tommy canely one at eight
08:39flarity two at 35 uh-oh now it's bad you brought him back now it's bad urcady brebbia manuel margot
08:51the only trade you made mason engler to tampa for drew summers who be suzanne summers uh here's your
09:02deadline chris paddock uh-oh you got finnegan fine enough charlie morton uh-oh paul seawald uh-oh
09:12joseph kinones forget uh-oh it's no no the guy's not even a real person uh rafael montero i i
09:21look
09:21terrible again now go to free agency this year go ahead the jv thing hasn't worked i love the idea
09:30of
09:30it it hasn't worked we have to grade on what works you sign finnegan no bueno you blew 18 million
09:36on
09:36kenley jansen or whatever they spent he's got four or five blown saves it's summer hasn't even started
09:42at a certain point you do have to discuss the two sides of scott harris it's harvey dent what about
09:49glaber awful yeah i never wanted him back the point i'm making is this is very similar
09:57to the other pizza pizza property the red wings okay they draft well they develop well their trades
10:04suck and their free agent signings suck it's the same thing
10:12finkel is einhorn einhorn is finkel eiserman is harris harris is eiserman winhorst i i'm asking the
10:23question because realistically you know you're off season it's hard to grade this early but when
10:29you are the second worst team in the american league the injuries contribute to a piece of that
10:35but against scott harris's decision to not meaningfully add to the lineup that's what's
10:41killing them and please spare me any of this i know what it's going to be from some of the
10:45truthers
10:46well boba shat's not hitting with the mats irrelevant it's irrelevant because you can't
10:52forecast what that player would have done here so don't do that they didn't sign anyone and whether
11:00it was a bachette or whether it's a minor thing maybe it's the guy who beat you on friday night
11:06pete alonzo uh-oh three-run pizza look we do have to have a scott harris conversation here because i'll
11:14tell you the one thing that's going a little far i may not like some of what aj's doing with
11:19this
11:19lineup but part of this is a conversation with his boss yeah the president of baseball operations
11:26scott i need players i'm with you mike if you don't go grocery shopping it's the same stuff in
11:32the refrigerator day after day when you open it up it's still the same thing and that's where aj is
11:38and it's like what did you expect we didn't go grocery shopping hey look there's moldy veerling in
11:44the back of the fridge just cut the mold off and put them back out of that leftover spaghetti not
11:49that's that's the ghost of nick mayton those eggs any good well we'll see 248-539-9797 let's just
11:58talk a little bit about the tigers and then we do we have a lot of piston stuff an emotional
12:02check on
12:02the fan base we also have some new names emerging uh we're gonna have a good time with it but
12:06look
12:07this again you know we talked about well you got baltimore and the angels coming up cool you lost
12:12the first series six seven series in a row i'm just kind of done could they get back into it
12:19i
12:19mean it's baseball why not but they keep running the same line out out there and expecting a different
12:24result the bullpen and high leverage situations continues to collapse i i don't know what to say
12:31oh and by the way glaber still feels pain in his oblique weird weird almost like i told you when
12:37you
12:37get a little older it's a tough that's a tough injury for hitters so you do what you want with
12:41it
12:41i'd love to hear from you is this angel series last call for alcohol they lose this angel series
12:47do you want to trade scoobal is that and again i jim bowden's kind of a goofball i don't think
12:51he's
12:51wrong with what he's saying yeah so that's where we'll start the day
12:54you
12:54you
12:54you
