00:00it feels like the market might be drying up a little bit here or something i don't know man
00:04two years 14 million a year seems like a bargain yeah i mean maybe we overvalue them uh watch from
00:12afar out here but god i wouldn't hated the pistons getting involved at that price uh no
00:19not at all of course we keep waiting for that another that another move another that another
00:24move yeah waiting for that another move from trajan i mean i mean hachimura averaged i mean
00:31only averaged 11 points a game last year but he was three-point specialist he shot well over 40
00:37the last three years there could be news today on the balligan suspension that might get reversed
00:43again uh given belgium's appeal of the appeal um then so we'll see i mean i you know governing bodies
00:52have a tough job when it comes to every organization looking out for their best interest
00:56u.s soccer looking out for our team's best interest in in filing the appeal um you know belgium um
01:03they
01:04of course are like wait a sec why is this happening it's only happened once before in the actual world
01:10cup but there have been some overturned red cards at other levels including uh qualifying where a
01:14player was supposed to a couple players are supposed to sit out uh games in the world cup including one
01:19with ronaldo uh got overturned i think the reporting on this has been pretty shoddy and we really rely
01:25on you world cup media uh but you know when it comes down to it when the first foul took
01:29place and
01:30the red card was awarded we were told there was no mechanism for reinstatement that was wrong and we
01:35were told that this these never get overturned it was also wrong uh additionally belgium is appealing
01:41the decision this morning uh so there's multiple mechanisms to get these things overturned but
01:46that's why i made work i don't jump media members very much but i'm nobody and specifically i just
01:51feel like this wasn't for an audience here that really doesn't know much about soccer scott i feel
01:56like we we really needed somebody in the media to explain how this mechanism worked to appeal that he
02:03could be back that it's happened before and we didn't really hear that um but at the end of the
02:08day
02:09maybe i missed it although i got no pushback on this either no um and it's a strange thing i
02:15mean
02:15as i i think american fans that are parachuting in like i am probably like okay it's great yeah i
02:22didn't think that was a penalty to begin with and they they it seemed like it was punitive they
02:27kicked him out of the game for it seems way rough and let alone these suspended for the next game
02:32and yet that's just soccer that's how the sport is you have to accept it that's what the sport is
02:38they
02:39they put the kibosh on things like this quickly they don't let it you know escalate to anything
02:44you're you're out of the game red card and yet you know all the the flopping that goes on they
02:48tolerate that to a point it's but it's not my sport nope it's not my sport so i feel like
02:54i have to take
02:54a step aside although it's starting guys do what you're gonna do you're starting to get into the
02:58world cup a little bit and i i thought you got a little bit as a as a soccer evangelist
03:02earlier in
03:02the show trying to get people to join the congregation no um not at all you you you say that
03:09but i'm just
03:09going to tell you for a minute there you sounded like it i just wanted to point out how i
03:13was
03:13interpreting that i'm gonna have to scale it back i'm enjoying the world cup don't do that i think
03:19people are entertained by your take i'm enjoying the world cup but it's it's not it's this is not
03:24going to explode into some something else well we're underdogs tonight belgium's a top 10 team
03:30in the back half of the top 10 we're in the middle of the teens uh and this is usually
03:34where we peter out
03:34in terms of world cup runs but uh maybe just maybe we keep this thing alive and then set up
03:39the real
03:40miracle on the pitch uh the winner of spain and portugal uh that will play each other on the other
03:45side of the bracket in a game that starts today at three two four eight five three nine ninety seven
03:49ninety seven uh tigers take two or three from texas after the sweep of the yankees another good stretch
03:54of play here look they're 10 games under with 22 games until the trade deadline okay so quick math
04:0016 and 6 16 and 6 gets them back to 500 500 teams have a chance at the wild card
04:07um you know
04:10there's there's a weird feeling in detroit where there's sort of an acknowledgement that
04:15i don't think they can get it done so what's the point they may as well sell if they get
04:19too close and
04:19they don't sell then they can become the angels losing otani for almost nothing oh man it just is
04:25kind of a catch 22 for the fans those playoff runs have been fun and both tiger playoff teams
04:30the last couple years actually won a round uh which was cool and last year's team flirted ever
04:35so dangerously to advancing to the american league championship series and uh this year's team has
04:42characteristics of a good baseball team when it comes to run differential and starting pitcher and
04:46three players from your lineup in the all-star game sounds like it should be a damn good team
04:53they i think it's a good team that had an awful may and when i say good i mean better
04:58than 500 team
04:59i think that's what this team ultimately should have been was a better than 500 team they got some
05:04work to do to get back there it's a lot of heavy lifting still to do and in the second
05:09half of the
05:09season here they might have to do the heavy lifting without their best pitcher because i think he
05:13should be traded regardless i would i would 100 trade tarik skuble uh at some point in the next four
05:20weeks and it doesn't mean i i'm not going for it it means i'm just i'm going to trade tarik
05:25skuble
05:26because i don't want to lose him for nothing and i would still try to find a legitimate right-handed
05:32bat that kills left-handed pitching because the tigers are struggling with finding those guys
05:37on their roster right now and they seem unwilling to allow one of the guys that's killing left-handed
05:44pitching at toledo to have that chance here with the big league club so okay if i'm not
05:50going to if i'm not going to use the guys at toledo then i may as well trade some guys
05:54from toledo
05:54or elsewhere in the organization and get somebody who does it at the major league level i'm buying
06:00and i'm selling well i think buying is something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough
06:06because the this team even if they get back in it has to recognize they need more to make a
06:15serious run
06:17and the one thing that you can never say no to and people say oh scott harris hasn't hasn't hasn't
06:23if you look back at the greatest deadline deal in detroit sports history it was the perfect confluence
06:29of events that landed rasheed wallace in detroit it was three teams that were needed it was boston
06:35looking to make a salary dump it was atlanta looking to make a salary dump they helped facilitate
06:40this deal they both got future assets and it was a player that could help you that suddenly became
06:47available that you know you just you didn't see a trade like this possibly going down those kind of
06:55perfect deals for certain teams don't always come around and that one happened to be perfect for that
07:01piston team at that time and it just it credit joe dumars for pulling the trade off but it also
07:08kind
07:08fell on his lap that these things all happened that that you could get rasheed wallace for the
07:15price that they paid which was zelly robacha and a couple of picks and it just didn't hurt at all
07:21and the throw-in mike james turned into a valuable player as well so what if all of a sudden
07:27for all this chapman is available at just the right right price it could be a surprise edition at boston
07:33bails you know it might be a surprise guy a little searching today might be on the market
07:37that i can't imagine because this team's even ahead of detroit is byron buxton now and i just they
07:42say he's not i know i know minnesota says but but i would hunt listen you're not going to find
07:48a
07:49bigger fan of byron buxton than me i know but if that if that was at all possible i would
07:54try almost
07:56anything to do it um and then and then cross your fingers it can stay healthy for a long period
08:02of time
08:02these are just examples though of where could a player suddenly become available where you don't
08:09here's what we don't know that somebody out there some gm out there and their scouts aren't saying
08:14i'd do anything to have tyron loronzo or max anderson or some player that is expendable for detroit
08:23you know and so you just that's why i think buying could be a thing and with you know dylan
08:31dingler
08:32now he's an all-star he's all-star dylan dingler now we can talk about him that way um the
08:36tigers
08:37are two other catchers on their 40 man roster they actually three other on their 40 man roster but
08:41the aforementioned uh tyron loronzo and eduardo valencia is also on the 40 man he's at toledo
08:48valencia is killing it at toledo he's doing awfully well in fact he is uh he he is hitting a
08:55total uh
08:56i think he's hitting 267 but 844 with his ops as a catcher right-handed has an over 900 ops
09:04against
09:04left-handed pitching i wonder how much longer before he gets his opportunity to get brought up
09:11that's your guy well he's becoming a new guy i mean it's a guy i've followed for sure over the
09:17last
09:17couple years but you know when you're watching dylan dingler's the guy without question seeing
09:23in the future you're you're gonna end up having to make a decision real quickly on valencia or
09:30loronzo before you leave him unprotected at some point you don't want to do that so one of these
09:34guys is going to get an opportunity and valencia happens to be higher up the food chain because he's
09:38already a triple a what does that mean for jake rogers i like jake rogers i think he's a great
09:43guy
09:44i think he handles the pitching staff well but he's not getting it done at the plate and hasn't
09:49for a while i think someone else needs to get an opportunity particularly if they're going to hit
09:54left-handed pitching and this allows you to protect dingler a little bit more where dingler gets dh'd a
10:01little bit more and then valencia can you're adding a right-handed bat to the lineup as well
10:06why not at some point i'm not saying it needs to happen today i'm just saying keep an eye on
10:12it
10:13248-539-9797 monday's main champion chump my champion weekend was casey my skater champion
