Transcript
00:00hello hello hello we have got i feel like we are in a apple orchard of sports topics and we
00:05just
00:05keep reaching up and there are just more apples and topics jeremy auto with a very professional
00:12update topics are yeah topics are like just just picking the orchard my man they're like
00:18they're they're plentiful like auto's kids and who knows maybe one more will pop up before day's end
00:25wouldn't shock me the way auto operates yeah he said he had a great weekend all right so
00:32you i can't believe this is our lead but you're right to do it along with what was in auto's
00:38update
00:39so i've been told by david you'd like to ask me a question i will answer said question
00:48this is how it was explained to me by our executive pastor producer david hall
00:54i just want to jump right into well mike yesterday i asked the listeners the question after the
01:01sweep the tiger scored 25 runs in tampa they swept the first place tampa rays or two and eight in
01:07their last 10 hey you were awful you won three games you take what you get okay steven mats okay
01:14all right carry on and i ask people hey what what's that line what what is that line that you
01:20know what
01:20if you do this i'll start believing again because there's 60 percent of the people are probably
01:26somewhere in limbo they they want to write this team off but if the team shows a pulse they will
01:31come back i'm going to ask you a different question oh i i don't get the what will you can
01:37answer that
01:37leave you can answer that one all right you can answer that one golden corral of questions yes
01:43are you encouraged by what happened with the three games or does it tick you off what happened
01:49with the three games oh wow are you encouraged that they won three games hey maybe this team's going
01:54to be okay but are you discouraged because now they believe in themselves now here now sports topic
02:02apple orchard now we get buster only saying the tigers are telling teams they won't trade scoobal
02:08they're telling teams as of right now they're not selling the sweep of the rays could fuel their
02:13hopes of climbing back okay the tigers won again yeah i don't care um all right i want to i
02:20want to
02:20make sure i do this right because if if i snap answer this are are are you know evans video
02:28co-captain
02:29john in la is you know he'll have his pants around you can take a second videos no i i
02:34want to be
02:35tactical because you kind of set me up for a fail i wonder where i learned i know right i
02:41learned it
02:41by watching you i am i am neither encouraged or uh what was the term used angered yeah i'm neither
02:53let
02:53me let me say that i think what they did in tampa is irrelevant to the question zoom everything with
03:02baseball is you have to zoom out it's not like like college football or nfl it's not even like
03:08the nba there's 162 games so i look at a team that's been swept six times by the time the
03:17calendar
03:17went june one all i do mentally is go okay would my opinion of this team be different had they
03:24swept
03:25the red socks and got swept by the rays they'd be in the same place then i go okay well
03:32what effect
03:33did this sweep have did the guardians go to new york and get swept did we pick up a couple
03:37of games
03:38uh shout out stevie why no and no because guardians went to new york and beat the brakes off the
03:45yankees
03:45so i'm not i'm neither i i think if we factor in the sweep contributing to buster only's report
03:54then i get upset well no want to be careful we're in a good mood then i get annoyed okay
04:03good answer
04:04because my my thoughts of the tigers and you know i don't like when organizations do this
04:12that as an organization i really think they enjoy their own scent a little too much
04:17they they as an organization they kind of admire their bathroom sessions i how on god's green earth
04:24could a collection of borderline ivy league educated people take a three-game set against a
04:31scuffling albeit good team but you know my thought about tampa bay but they're fake their first
04:39food and clothes and car i don't care it's you can't take three games out of 162 and do an
04:47organizational pivot i just don't believe in it they were a 500 team before injuries truly ravaged
04:54them right what's 500 gonna get you 500 gets you i think they finish with 73 or 74 wins if
05:03they play
05:04500 ball from here on out there you go so nowhere near good enough they go 50 and 50 right
05:10yeah okay
05:10so even if i said okay i'll give them a few more 86 is the gold standard to make the
05:16playoffs so
05:19when now we can go back to your question of like all right what would it take
05:23and i'm i gotta factor in scoobal you can't trade scoobal in 10 minutes i think that's
05:31weeks of talks by july 15th a full two weeks before the deadline
05:43five games out of first yeah we had a caller who said that i think it was the first caller
05:49we had i
05:50forgot his name i want to say four but and there's a reason like i always feel like if you
05:54want me to
05:55believe in you i need to know that by the time the next series you play is over you could
06:00vault
06:01into a tie or or be out by a game but rico i i'm not knocking a team for winning
06:07but i'm also
06:08before i left i did say two things right i said a tampa and the tigers is my version of
06:16baseball hell
06:17because i think it's you didn't say that in all fairness it's a garbage approach to the sport it's
06:21why tampa will never win a world series i it's why you won't win a world series playing the way
06:25you
06:26play you just won't but it's two teams who think they're smarter than everybody and we're doing the
06:31optionality tango cool no one's interested the other side was i said to you i am not convinced
06:39that even after that white socks series i said this monday i'm not convinced they're going to trade
06:44school much easier for scott harris to sell his owner hope and we can be in this and
06:51we're going to sell out games and it's much easier to do that than what stand up from the
06:57coney and tell your owner i have to put my ass in the jackpot you're going to pay for it
07:05and i'm
07:06going to have to trade the best arm we'll ever have because the product of that trade much like
07:11avila will go a long way in defining whether i get to have a job i haven't seen anything from
07:17scott
07:17harris suggestive he's ready for that sorry haven't seen it no as a matter of fact uh according
07:24to buster only they're not trying to trade him that's why i read the quote brother so it's look
07:30it's a complicated question it is and i never wanted to write them off because of hey there's
07:37115 game there's 105 games oh well let me i guess you didn't but in the grand scape of things
07:4420 of the people they've written this team off there's nothing they can do and they're not wrong
07:4820 of the people no matter what they do they're going to go to the games they're tigers fans how
07:53dare you not believe well they're jackasses it's the 60 in the middle who they they passively watch
08:00they check their phone for the score they want to they they tune in to us to see what happened
08:05you're not going to take away my time and steal my joy but if you start winning again you can
08:11get
08:11me back you can get me back yeah yeah but but i just think my point to the people three
08:17games is not
08:18start winning like it's because of 162 games and i'm not telling you i'm right i view things in like
08:2610 game increments well that's why i was i i included yesterday's game and i said okay you
08:31got uh you got seattle coming here you got minnesota here and then you're at cleveland
08:37including yesterday's game go 10 and i mean go go eight and two right and i'll listen to you it's
08:42it would be about series but here's the other part and i'm i'm i'm this is where i think it's
08:47important
08:47to be like okay the sweep is cool in a vacuum you didn't gain any ground would you get a
08:52half game
08:53because cleveland was idle two days ago what are we talking about and it's not like cleveland was
08:59playing you know the sacramento a's they were playing the yankees in the bronx swept them so i here's my
09:06thing the longer form question is what would it take to get back i need i probably need a month
09:14i need
09:15inverse may is that wrong you agree with the crack pass that's exactly what i said yesterday
09:24they won five games in or yeah five games in may they have to flip it and lose five games
09:29in june
09:30you're asking for 21 and five no no like how about like 18 and seven you know like you need
09:35a month
09:36where you claw back to 500 because they're so far below 500 but here's what i would prefer if it's
09:44good
09:44with you guys i'll have any conversation you want i love all our stuff today the only thing is the
09:50thing i'm agitated about i don't know if it's true i'm not saying that buster wasn't told that
09:57but do you expect me to believe that a group of allegedly very intelligent people who think very
10:04highly of themselves after three games we're not trading scuba that's tough for me maybe it's because
10:13of how they won the three games mike because i think we broke down the number the 25 runs they
10:19scored was 10 of the runs they've scored all year in just that three days right which anomaly much
10:27so you know it could be as the ball flies when the when it's hot i want to ask the
10:32scuba question to
10:33people because maybe maybe they just want to buy time with the comment maybe by telling only we're not
10:42selling on june 4th that's why i'm not upset i'm annoyed there's a difference there's a difference
10:48between frustration and anger right i'm frustrated i would trade him as early as possible to set the
10:54market to take the pro rated amount of his contract and boost what i get back and to do right
11:02by the
11:02organization i don't think there's anyone out there who believes they're winning a world series even when
11:07i said they could get there i think you'll get your ass kicked but get there i mean lord knows
11:13you haven't won a world series in basically 50 years uh and you haven't been to one in what seems
11:20like 50 but it's what 13 14 years rico i just don't see a world you don't trade him now
11:28if they were 10
11:29games up what did we say you were the one saying go all in around them they did exactly that
11:33we're not
11:34having the convo i just don't see a world you're not at least starting dialogue with teams hey we're
11:43not ready to do this but if we did what would it look like i really hope to god that
11:50only is wrong
11:51the problem is this the group down there oh they love their own scent yeah they do oh baby all
12:00right
12:00david save it tell us how you feel i'll tell you next next okay then 97 1
