00:02our two nice to have you with us and very appreciative for the new pulsera drop that
00:07i'm sure we'll indulge in later if you want to rap about team usa you know i'm happy to do
00:13it
00:13i'm not yet there's no yelling and screaming that would be disingenuous i'm just bummed out
00:16they just no showed but rico has something very special for you guys and and i want you to listen
00:23intently here okay because i don't have much to offer you i'm interested in what rico has and what
00:31you have so let nona have a little nap in the barca lounger and and i i want i want
00:38to hear this
00:39you need some lemonade or something buddy get you a beverage i need an insurer you're not that old
00:45mike i need my dentures clean no go ahead and do no you're not that old um look the
00:52tigers had yesterday off they're sitting there at 40 and 50 and doing just a little bit of a deep
01:00dive of what this team has done since they fell on their face in the month of may they are
01:06starting
01:06to crawl back but the way they're crawling back i don't think is good enough they've won six of 10
01:13series uh of their last series they've actually won those okay that's fine they're you'll tell me
01:20they're five games out of the wild card but i'm going to tell you that's fool's gold stop looking
01:25at the wild card standings because there's seven teams ahead of you in the wild card standings what
01:31you really need to look at and we've said it before mike is that magical number of 86 can you
01:36win 86 games
01:39in order to win 86 games you got to go in the final 70 games of the year because you
01:46played 90
01:4746 and 26 you got to go 20 games above 500 in order to get to 86 wins you can
01:55only lose 26 games
01:57for the rest of the year for those in the back who have trouble with math you're gonna lose 26
02:01more
02:02games that's it if you're trying to make the playoffs if that's the goal i say all that to say
02:11you have a very unique opportunity this weekend school's gonna pitch tonight he may or may not
02:18pitch on sunday aj says he's he's penciled in will they'll have to wait to see maybe he has a
02:24short
02:24start but who do you play on sunday the phillies you have an opportunity to maybe audition school
02:32so that this may be the last week that school pitches in a tiger jersey and i know you'll say
02:39but we have a chance to make the playoffs let's have a real frank conversation you probably don't
02:44he did not okay you gotta i can say 46 and 26 if you're trying to make yourself playoff eligible
02:54school bowl in the last four starts he's pitched he's got like nine strikeouts i think in the last
03:00three games nine strikeouts nine strikeouts eight strikeouts he's got one win two losses one no
03:05decision you have enough starting pitching that you can still play this game if you want to play the
03:15game if you want to sit there and say we still got a shot you got enough starting pitching you
03:20got
03:20milton mize montero valdez flarity you got enough guys even throw madden in there you got enough guys
03:27that you can throw out on the mound it's time the yankees and the phillies i think probably are the
03:33two teams looking at school bowl the phillies have caught fire the braves have slipped the phillies are
03:39three games away from the braves they're trying to make their playoff push the yankees mike
03:46you know them better than anybody they're injured right now but their guys are going to be back
03:53tonight should be the showcase game the last game that we know school bowl is going to pitch
03:59at co-america park maybe he pitches again on sunday but i'm looking at this there is no way in
04:05the world
04:06he should be here after the all-star break you can continue this treading of water if you want
04:13but guys it's time to rip the band-aid off it is time to just say the quiet part out
04:20loud you're
04:21probably not making the playoffs let's rebuild let's look at the young pitchers that you have
04:26and that means you'll keep mize you won't get rid of him but you'll trade school bowl you don't trade
04:32mize i'm okay with that but after looking at the numbers and looking at everything this has got to be
04:39it this has got to be his last week pitching for this team plain and simple you know there's a
04:45song
04:46i'd like to like to say a few words to you i believe it starts with you are so beautiful
04:53to me
04:55this is adorable it really is i everything you're saying is right but um you're just gonna put that
05:03up on the refrigerator the team with 15 and 23 when school bowl was out listen listen everything
05:11says right they can do whatever they want to do i'd like to officially state whatever scott harris
05:17decides is good enough for me time's the smartest organization in the league just ask them
05:24whatever they want to do brah no no literally listen to me just have the car back by midnight
05:30do whatever you want to do i don't want to know about it do whatever you want have a car
05:35back by
05:36midnight without a scratch on it do whatever you want they're not trading they're not trading
05:42there are two things that i have been consistent with be fair now i've not written the team off
05:49because the al is not even garbage it's garbage juice which is the liquid that is at the very bottom
05:56of the bag almost it is like seeped out of said garbage that's the al once it gets into your
06:01slippers and your socks you just throw those away right no one is able to put anyone away because
06:07once again garbage juice i've never written the team off the other side of it is i have said to
06:12you
06:12now for two months they're not trading school they don't have the chops so i've reached a different
06:18phase and here's here's why i'm taking this tact it's not to be a penis to you no no no
06:23no and
06:23it's not to somehow screw the listeners over not at all i think i represent
06:30a decent percentage of fans i don't care you can do whatever you want to do i don't care
06:38i don't enjoy watching this team i don't believe in their style of baseball and you put yourself 16
06:46games under 500 no one's ever dug out of that kind of hole and while the baseball's been better
06:52what else did i say you were never 16 games below 500 bad right that's why i don't use injuries
06:58as
06:59an excuse the injuries kept you from being 10 games over there was no reason you couldn't tread water
07:05for a little bit and look bad 10 games is different than a bad month like the a's right now
07:11you're going
07:11to face an a's team their whole lineup's hurt yeah and they've gone like two and seven the last nine
07:16days no my point is there's certain weeks you're going to have a bad week they had a bad five
07:22weeks
07:23right so rico everything you're saying is right but there is no value in me i'm not yelling i'm not
07:31screaming keep them i don't care you know what let's celebrate bobblehead day it's scoobal day today
07:37and tomorrow hell collect the bobbleheads and keep scoobal i don't care do whatever you guys want
07:44no i do think that this and we talked about it in the break this is the new voodoo for
07:49them where
07:49whoever you play they don't have their people and you beat them and you win the series
07:56but it's almost empty calories the way i look at this this is where everybody can be happy
08:03for the tiger truthers your team can still go out there and still try to make the playoffs
08:11and you could do it without scoobal you could do it with the pictures that you already have
08:15i believe in what you're saying there but once again i want to be very upfront with you
08:22and the listener i'm shooting you right down main street rico after two years of these conversations
08:29i'm done this is like if a friend complains about his marriage and i've had to listen to it for
08:3310
08:34years listen lover or lever figure it out i'm done listening that's the tigers to me i can't have
08:42people i want to tell you nothing rico said is wrong
08:47but i'm done i don't know like david gave up on one of his kids i think that's kind of
08:52where i'm at
08:52right whoa i can't do this other family david other family like your other family the eldest oh
08:58yeah the one you're like listen you're just not a good person i don't want to be associated with
09:01you no more i didn't raise you this way take my name off the birth certificate right i just rico
09:06i
09:06can't do it anymore mike i'm with you but the problem and this is why the other reason once again
09:12the phillies you're playing them this is the perfect time to showcase them just like when the
09:15yankees were here you showcase him this will mean he'll have five good starts his arms okay
09:21and go out there and get something for him you can still trade him and be competitive
09:29and you'll have you'll actually bring in some people for the future because you can go out there
09:34get that bidding war going and move forward i think my other first of all i want to throw the
09:40number up
09:41guys answer rico's question you don't need me to shepherd this through just leave nona in the
09:48barca lounger okay pretend i have narcolepsy i'm taking a nap answer rico's question should this
09:55be scoobal's last home start do you want it to be that's all the question is for me i'm done
10:02with
10:03the shoulds you know where i'm at with this i would trade him i think rico's made a salient point
10:09i think you could thread a needle but if you're going to keep scoobal which is a separate conversation
10:15which i also am not interested in having you have to buy if you keep scoobal you got to be
10:21a buyer
10:21otherwise you're just talking about talk you're just tatting it up little t-a-t if you're talking
10:28about talk i mean if you if you're so brazen and confident you're gonna make the playoffs
10:33well then then you know what as rico once said in a drop unzip yourself and lean forward
10:39make a trade you gotta buy where is that drop by the way i don't know it probably got taken
10:45out
10:46along with my dac prescott one but people let's let's have this conversation
10:53because i'm not participating in it but no no because here's the thing you don't have to give
10:57up on your season if you are tigers fan you can go out there and hope but i'm giving you
11:01hardcore
11:01core data 46 and 26 is the numbers you got to make in the last 70 games 46 and 26
11:08odds are you're
11:10not going to do that you can still have fun you can still drink your daiquiris at the game you
11:15could
11:15do that without your pitcher because if you hold on to him you'll get nothing for him and you still
11:21won't make the playoffs david maybe i'll just be john jansen i'm gonna let it play out
11:292484-539-9797 hold on can i say this too i don't i i want people to answer your question
11:38the other question is do i speak for any of you like when i'm saying i'm just burnt out on
11:45all
11:45things scoobal and i'm i'm tired of the conversation about this team i'm and i admit this like
11:53i get spiteful like when a team ends up 16 games under 500 at that point go away i just
12:00want my
12:00summer back but i'm also not mad if you just want to see him make the playoffs because well i
12:05don't
12:06know fun but what else you got i want a world series and i just don't think this is a
12:10world
12:11series team and i'm done with the are you like me where you've just had enough of this like if
12:17i
12:18could do a blind rank of topics i never want to do again scoobal anything would be number one
12:24it'd be like like a bg song in the 70s on casey casem's uh you know american top 40 this
12:31would be
12:32the request and dedication that's interesting i don't want any scoobal number three for me but i get
12:39what you're saying i can't do it anymore eiser plan one with a bullet okay interesting but i want to
12:45hear
12:45from the people 248-539-9797 what do you guys want do you want scoobal bobblehead night to be the
12:51end
12:51of the road if you ran the team and if not well known as napping in the barca
