00:01dickerson on the call they get another homer from riley green make it eight home runs in two days
00:0718 runs and a pair of wins oh boy undefeated in the month of june stoney yes that's right
00:13and they go again to tonight game where we have an afternoon i think a game a day game today
00:18wow
00:18and you know what they're saying that's right troy melton going for his third straight really
00:24good start it's nick martinez who era wise i think is their best pitcher right now but uh don't don't
00:32let the tigers get hot what are we supposed to do with this right now just kind of sit and
00:37see yes
00:38exactly yeah they play you know they're home against seattle this weekend and if they can
00:43win another series hey you know i don't want to sound like aj but just win every series and things
00:49things will take care of themselves but they're you know obviously dug and dug such a ridiculous hole
00:55and who knows i i look chances for them to make the playoffs is still in my mind like 0
01:03.9 percent i
01:06don't think they're gonna win i think but you know what is it better to have a team that is
01:12fun to watch
01:13than what we saw the first the month of may yeah so it's it's okay to watch sure absolutely it's
01:21okay
01:21to watch it's eyebrow raising you get carp back you get torres back both guys have hit a homer the
01:27offense looks more lively it's eyebrow raising it's still incredibly daunting right there's still so much
01:32work that has to be done and the deadline is the deadline if you don't think you can win a
01:36world
01:36series you got to get something for scoobl so so other players well yeah but but i know he's the
01:42headliner but sure throw mys in and some of the other vets jansen and torres that's that's the rub
01:47in all of this is it just might be too little too late even if they do go on a
01:51run where they rattle
01:51off 10 or 12 or something like that they'd still be below 500 they'd still be facing a sale at
01:56the
01:56deadline i mean i think the key for them is for you know the future of this franchise is for
02:02scoobl to
02:03come back healthy look good trade him same thing with mys even you know flarity if he has another
02:08game or two like he had yesterday maybe they can get something for him and who the hell knows what
02:14verlander he looked good yesterday in toledo they have to get not only hot but insanely hot yes for
02:21me to feel like the deadline behavior changes so do with it what you want chance for a sweep today
02:28much better start to to this month right you're getting some offense that's right so like i said it's
02:34more enjoyable to watch but look carpenter and torres you know they weren't exactly knocking the
02:40cover off the ball before they got injured either so let's give it a couple weeks and carried away
02:44see where water ends up finding its level zach short still on this baseball team had a couple
02:48hits last night yes i know how dare you i know i went so perez he had a home run
02:53against donny i know
02:54he's got six on the season and when you win i don't care how many times had two hits how
02:59about that he
03:00did and when you win i don't care how many times you share it on your instagram matt veerling had
03:04two hits in a home run paris four home runs since you uh wagged a finger yeah see how you
03:12work except
03:13for the red wings yeah the only thing i can't jinx into success hey uh speaking to you gov multiple
03:19people pointing out that justin herbert has in fact thrown for 5 000 yards in an nfl season
03:24pre-harbaugh pre-harbaugh but harbaugh said last year it's his goal to win this guy the mvp
03:30good for him oh yeah really great it's like it was his goal to make jj the best quarterback at
03:35the university of michigan well he accomplished slater and alt being healthy at tackle oh yeah
03:39absolutely that helps big time i'm just sorry i'm not buying in anymore on herbert until i see 2020s
03:45matt stafford do it like he's stafford with the lions who eventually we don't go on to win it we'll
03:50see
03:52getting killed for it the other thing 2030s i gotta wait till the next decade what's i honestly don't
03:58get the love affair with this guy it's because he's a prototypical pack pocket passer who has
04:02some mobility but he's the one that always causes them to lose there are probably people in this
04:06town right they'd probably there are people in this town who probably think they'd rather have
04:11like him than golf which to me makes no sense right now no the thing with herbert is he has
04:16all the
04:17gifts the tools yes to be that quarterback so everybody convinces themselves once everything gets
04:22aligned he'll do it which was the stafford thing the same problem with the mvp we're getting into
04:27something so silly here but it's like there's no way justin herbert will ever have a better season
04:32than josh allen but he might win the mvp because of win totals or let's vote for somebody different
04:38we would have said the same thing about stafford five years ago there's no way he'll have a better
04:43season than lamar jackson there's just no way lamar's too fast too talented i wouldn't know
04:48i'm not a lamar guy my point is we would just pick whoever the top quarterback is at the time
04:54and say
04:54yeah stafford's got the gifts but he can't put it together herbert's thrown for 5 000 yards he's
04:58flirted with 40 touchdowns he should have a healthy offensive line do we ever include the floss
05:02the interceptions the bad the poor decision making uh they won a division title yet i mean i must
05:09have missed where i said herbert is the best quarterback in the nfl win the mvp right i think
05:13the tools are there for him i don't we just disagree we'll see no i think i think he has
05:18tools
05:19unfortunately he doesn't have between the ears john was a huge herbert oh i know he has soured a
05:25little bit okay what do we want to do here we want to talk about the lions part of the
05:29bold predictions
05:29yeah so they laid out a lot of love for the lions connor warren sports illustrated said what
05:35they will win the division they will lead the league in points scored and lead the league in wins
05:42but ultimately not win the super bowl look i think the offense you know it's a lot of ifs whether
05:50you know miller can come in and you know be a real a good rookie the switch of sewell to
05:56left tackle
05:57is that going to be a help you know how good you know they they love cade mays but let's
06:02see he's got
06:03to be better than what they had last year but he's not as good as rag now um and laporte
06:09everything
06:09well you can say it's about every team but it's health if they are healthy for most of the season
06:14i could see them leading the league in points no doubt about it although i do think their
06:18offensive coordinator is going to be a little more conservative but we'll see yeah but if conservative
06:23means more touches for gibbs oh yeah that could end up being hey we were just trying to run it
06:27out
06:28and he broke a 40 yarder you know and then you really they point out their runway saying not only
06:34is
06:34the schedule favorable it's got a built-in runway for them to start oh yes and build some momentum
06:42and chemistry and get this offensive line in a groove so of course buffalo at buffalo in week two
06:47is tough but outside of that they open with new orleans yeah it's new orleans the jets the panthers
06:53and the cardinals before they hit the bye week yeah so it sets up for them to get off to
06:58a good start
06:58and keep all of these these goals in front of them a division crown leading the league in points
07:03scored all this so i would say and you would probably agree that if they're if not four and
07:08one heading into the bye there's a problem if something happened yeah or maybe one of those
07:13other teams got really good and we didn't expect there's always unexpected but yes again the schedule
07:18still features teams like tennessee miami the giants one of those teams could bubble up but the idea
07:26that all of them will it feels unlikely come on the giants who's going to contain obga
07:35yeah look i think that's part when we talk about could they lead the league in wins
07:39as connor or sports illustrated says well that's part of the equation yes but what's also part of
07:44the equation is their health of their secondary and their performance of their secondary which has
07:49been horrific that's probably their biggest question mark going into the season is what are
07:53they going to get out of both safeties right you know because i think kirby joseph that knee will
07:59it hold up if he's ready week one great will he be ready for week 12 week 15 the postseason
08:04yeah and
08:05beyond and with branch it's the opposite when will he get to where he's going to be for the season
08:11correct is he going to be on the pup are you going to miss the first four games
08:15two four eight five three nine 97 97 the lions were big winners in the bold predictions
08:20you buy in that that they will do those things a division crown lead the league in scoring and lead
08:25the league and wins but not win the super bowl that's the other part of this stony like oh i
08:30know
08:30well i do you think they're going to win the super bowl i don't i mean either i don't think
08:34that's so
08:35bold how would that season sit with you because as tom explained it it would just basically be a
08:42review redux of two years ago well it depends right now if you tell me if they don't win the
08:49super
08:49bowl is the season of failure besides the cliche that all there's only one team that has a successful
08:54season no i think they can still have a successful season without winning the super bowl and it's
08:59predicated on the youth of certain positions that we'll get into coming up next i think that's a
09:05question for people is it super bowl or bus still 97 one
09:08you
