00:07three in a row for the tigers undefeated in June.
00:11It's a whole lot of work.
00:13That's got to get done.
00:14Oh yeah.
00:14How does this impact the mindset of management?
00:17Well,
00:18we've got an update.
00:19We'll tell you.
00:21As soon as we finish a couple of these texts,
00:23we'll move into tiger talk.
00:26Microwaving fish.
00:27One of the worst workplace smells.
00:30On that same list,
00:31old man sweat mixed with cologne.
00:37Old man sweat.
00:38Some other workplace horrors.
00:40Coworker refusing to change the toner in the printer drives me crazy.
00:43Dave and Warren.
00:46Burnt popcorn stinks up the joint.
00:48It's bad.
00:50Yeah.
00:50And that's kind of one of those smells that it takes a few days for it to
00:54dissipate.
00:56Says,
00:57I don't think walleye in the microwave would be bad.
00:58Walleye is not oily or fishy.
01:01I still wouldn't do it.
01:02I wouldn't do it just because that's how I'd want to eat it.
01:07It says,
01:08I used to work nights in an office building.
01:10If I was bored,
01:11I'd go through the cubicles to see if anybody had anything interesting or
01:14unique.
01:15Stop it.
01:17Kevin in Ann Arbor.
01:18That's awful.
01:21Don't go through other people's stuff.
01:23No,
01:23come on.
01:25As someone who cleans bathrooms at a school district,
01:27the girls' bathrooms are far worse than the boys' bathrooms.
01:32Signed Joe.
01:34Uh-huh.
01:35Not surprising,
01:36I guess.
01:38I mean,
01:40women's public restrooms are,
01:43I'm not saying here,
01:44here,
01:44they're,
01:44they're fine,
01:45but,
01:45uh,
01:46well,
01:46it's because you always got to sit down.
01:47They're gross.
01:48People are gross.
01:49If you're just standing up,
01:51it really doesn't matter what it looks like.
01:55You can pee in anything.
01:58So there's that.
02:00Yeah.
02:04If you have any,
02:05uh,
02:06deep questions,
02:07dear John,
02:08we'll get to that at nine 35 with the tigers.
02:12Buster only this morning says the tigers are telling teams.
02:15They're not selling as of now.
02:17Huh?
02:19Really?
02:20Says the sweep of the rays will fuel their hope of climbing back into the
02:25AL race.
02:29It's three games.
02:30Yeah.
02:31Seriously.
02:31How hot would they have to get to not trade Tarek Scooble to feel
02:36justified in keeping him?
02:39Cause I don't think they're going to transform themselves into world
02:41series contender in the next six weeks.
02:43So I'm not sure.
02:45Look,
02:45if this is negotiating tactics,
02:48fine,
02:49but it's hard to explain keeping Tarek Scooble unless they were to
02:53win like 20 games in a row or something.
02:57Well,
02:58the trade deadline is far enough away to where I have no issue with this
03:06statement right now.
03:07Okay.
03:08It's a long season.
03:10They can technically get back into it,
03:13but right.
03:15But the default mindset right now is we're selling until proven.
03:18Otherwise not we're buying until proven.
03:20Otherwise we're holding Pat until otherwise,
03:22even if they hadn't won these three games,
03:25how much are they talking to teams right now?
03:29Are they,
03:29are other teams willing to put something together?
03:32And if,
03:33if Scooble gets healthy,
03:35which we all believe he will be and could be as early as next Friday that,
03:38Hey,
03:39we have the parameters in place.
03:41We just want to see that car run before we actually buy it.
03:45Right.
03:46But if Scooble makes his first start in,
03:48what'd you say a week and a half?
03:50Yeah.
03:51And teams are calling like he looks good.
03:53He throws seven innings.
03:54He,
03:54he strikes out eight teams are calling.
03:57You're going to say,
03:58well,
03:59look,
03:59we're only 10 under 500.
04:01It's not like we're going to trade the guy.
04:02Yes,
04:03you are.
04:03What do you mean?
04:04You should,
04:04it's your job is to take that phone call and say,
04:07yes,
04:07make us an offer.
04:08We're a bad baseball team,
04:10right?
04:11Yeah.
04:17it's so early.
04:18And to me,
04:19this is more a negotiating tactic.
04:21Like,
04:21Hey,
04:21you know where we're thinking about keeping them.
04:23So if you want to approach us,
04:25you better bring your a game and maybe throw in a couple more prospects.
04:29Maybe,
04:31every day,
04:31but and along with everything we had talked about before,
04:34but isn't this the most disastrous outcome?
04:38If they were to get back in just enough to keep him,
04:42but not enough to contend for a title.
04:45Oh yeah.
04:46Or even make the playoffs.
04:47Cause again,
04:47there's no gimmies or guarantees for a team.
04:49That's 13 games under this would be the worst case scenario is if they go on
04:53like a fake fools,
04:55gold run to convince themselves to keep school ball and lose them for nothing.
05:01So I'm not suggesting that I want them to lose a bunch of games,
05:05but there is a benefit in a definitive path forward.
05:08You know,
05:09your sellers,
05:10your job becomes cultivating the biggest,
05:12best market possible.
05:14You try to pray on the desperation of other contenders who might not have next year to
05:18compete.
05:18And this might be it.
05:20You try to pray on that and you have a definitive direction.
05:24If they,
05:26if they're going to do it,
05:27go ahead and win like 15 to 20.
05:28But if they go on these little tepid three,
05:30four game win streaks,
05:32chipping away slowly,
05:32but surely,
05:33but never actually get back in it.
05:35That's no man's land.
05:37Yeah.
05:37That's,
05:37that's where you delusionize yourself.
05:40And if that's a word into thinking,
05:41you can keep scuba when you shouldn't.
05:47Cause you have to do what's right for the organization.
05:49If you're not competing for a title and you're going to lose them,
05:51but you could get a King's ransom.
05:52You trade them.
05:53Even if you go on a three game win streak against the raise or a four game win streak
05:57against somebody else.
05:58Right?
05:58Yeah.
05:59I mean,
05:59they're,
05:59they're going to have to be by the end of June within striking distance for
06:05this,
06:06not to be a conversation.
06:08Yeah.
06:08So I guess we could explore that more in the next hour.
06:10Like what is striking distance mean?
06:12What makes this real for the tigers?
06:15And you guys,
06:15we want to hear from you two,
06:16four,
06:16eight,
06:17five,
06:17three,
06:17nine,
06:1797,
06:1897.
06:18As of now,
06:19they're not selling.
06:20That's what they're telling other teams.
06:23Two,
06:25like,
06:25what they're calling the
