Transcript
00:02hi everybody um boy today's gonna be filled with things that i really would rather not discuss
00:10uh including tarek scoobal and at four o'clock i guess we'll get to the ward thing but
00:15i'm bored with it nothing's gonna happen he's gonna get paid to go away because he knows where
00:20the bodies are buried and but we'll get there can we start with scoobal number two on your list
00:26yeah i i have no desire but this is this is my issue and i want to be as politically
00:32correct
00:33as possible like i i how about this forget about being pc i want you to understand i'm not trying
00:40to be mean-spirited about any of this i'm i'm just as a 45 year old man i don't suffer
00:46fools very well
00:47and i i don't like dumb stuff so i'm just gonna tell you how i feel and i i swear
00:54david you could
00:55bring in a polygraph or the good book whatever you consider i promise you i pass with flying
01:01colors i mean everything i'm about to tell you i don't think tarek scoobal is very smart
01:07because he says a lot of dumb stuff and he allows scott boris to lead him around by the nose
01:14and it happened again yesterday and on a multitude of fronts this is the beauty i'm not even upset
01:20about the same thing you are no but it all emanates from the same person and i'm sorry
01:25i'm not trying to be insulting but this is part of my issue is like a lot of these athletes
01:31are not
01:31the very brightest people in the world but they act like they are nothing irks me more than when
01:37someone who's not bright tries to act like they are it bugs me scoobal needs to stop talking that's
01:45one it was bad enough when we had to listen to his well the team should buy i want them
01:50to buy
01:53brother you your agent won't even talk to this team about an extension you don't get to do that
01:58but it was worse yesterday so you get a bob nightingale thing that starts the day which is
02:07boris and you go well how can you be mad at scoobal for what his agent does simple he's empowering
02:12all
02:13of this here's the report yesterday from bob nightingale scoobal doesn't want to go anywhere
02:18this season and he's told his friends he wants to stay in detroit what kind of report is that
02:25since when do we report about what players talk about with their friends
02:30but what's next bob nightingale is going to report that like one of his friends has the hot for a
02:34blonde
02:34and in aisle seven what are we doing but okay he's told his friends he wants to stay in detroit
02:39he believes in the team you mean the same team he won't resign with
02:45and he hopes he can stay with them this season as he thinks they have a realistic shot at the
02:50world
02:51series this year
02:55but here's where it gets bad
02:58scoobal is informed he wants to stay he has zero appetite to be traded quote tarik scoobal
03:07i've never lost faith close quote well you weren't here for half the season uh and and uh they don't
03:14win all your starts and i gotta be honest i really don't want to listen to a pitcher who can't
03:20get past
03:20the fifth inning uh-oh so that's one but then it gets worse and this is the thing you're more
03:29upset
03:29about he got pulled from the game yesterday yeah 93 pitches five innings gives up a single
03:36i always want to finish my inning and i pride myself on pitching deeper into ball games
03:40cutscene seattle i don't know obviously i didn't like it but i don't make those decisions
03:47all right okay if you want to stand on business as the kiddies say right i thought i had more
03:52in the tank
03:53i thought i was in control of what was going on terracate to break it to you if you've used
03:57almost
03:58100 pitches to get to five innings you're you're hanging on for dear life not your day that's kind
04:04of tough i'm not here to create a story about anything about it i mean that is the equivalent
04:11of the guy who says i'm not racist but i mean my best friend is black like i'm not here
04:20to create a
04:21story about it but everything i just said created a story correct because the whole circus of will
04:28he be here won't he be here mike i've gotten to the point where he's just playing it up for
04:33the
04:34media he just wants to be loved he doesn't want people to get angry at him he doesn't want people
04:39to feel the way they're starting to feel about dylan larkin they he needs to be loved and coddled and
04:44tarek's our guy he's my tiger and let me i i really want to be here got their contracts right
04:50there on the desk you can sign it or or how about this a conversation to to talk about a
04:55contract
04:55they can't the tigers could offer 250 right now and and and boris would laugh in their face who
05:01empowers boris to play this game he does so therefore i don't want to hear that but when he
05:06did the whole you know i had something left in the tank oh how dare you whoa how dare you
05:12we just put
05:13that thing to bed we moved on past game five at seattle when you left the game and you threw
05:2099
05:21pitches and your last at bat was a strikeout and it looked like you know what you still have something
05:26left in a winner take all game not a meaningless game in july against the phillies where you're still
05:35not in the wild card you're still not going to win your division right now this was a game you
05:40win
05:41this and you actually move on to the next round you're playing they played the blue jays you
05:48but don't don't sit here and tell me why i had something left in the tank when there was a
05:53time
05:53for you to actually prove you had something left in the tank there was a time for you to do
05:58what
05:58everybody wanted to see you do i think we're out there and be the man i think what you said
06:02at the
06:02start of this is the is the best point and this is where i just don't have any respect for
06:06terek scoobal or scott boris and i'm frankly i'd like them both gone i i don't want to i don't
06:10want to hear about it anymore oh he believes in this thing shut up oh he's telling friends he wants
06:16to stay shut up i've never gave up oh i'll never let go jack stop here's an idea boris and
06:26scoobal
06:26are going to continue to vilify the tigers or at a minimum make them out to be the bad guy
06:31when they
06:32what don't buy what when they what trade you like you don't get to have it your way terek the
06:39only reason you're getting traded is because you wouldn't engage in good faith negotiations
06:43and mike i want to say this for the people in the back this isn't me oh the tigers are
06:48being cheap
06:49i think tigers are doing the responsible thing i'm not faulting the tigers at all no i would never pay
06:54him 400 million dollars i'm not doing it there's a deal out you know what you want that then don't
06:59blame us because you're not gonna get that from us could i see a world where on a higher
07:03aav and a shorter term deal maybe they could have got something done right sure we just saw it with
07:07from bravaldez right now again if he wanted to be here but this is why i started this where
07:13whether it's i don't think he's the smartest you know sharpest knife in the in in the in the drawer
07:19or he's just got childlike tendencies buddy you got to be self-assured you're 30 years old about
07:25to be paid 400 million dollars you don't get to shape the narrative of how you leave town
07:29because normal adults who can see through this crap are gonna call you on this is ridiculous
07:35dude just leave buddy right there he wants to always be loved by detroit he never wants to be
07:43booed and remember the good times remember it's like you're leaving and that's what happened you
07:49went to take the money and you know what i can respect that somebody's willing to pay you the money
07:54i want them gone but i don't have to sit here and hold your hand and remember the good time
07:58you made
07:59your choice live with it and i think most rational people i don't think they would boo you i i
08:04don't
08:04think they would vilify you do you know what's drawing the venom out of me when he talks yes i
08:10think
08:10we should buy nobody asked you right i never gave up shut up and then once again boris is going
08:18to
08:18continue to impugn this organization at every turn who empowers it he does you do this is no different
08:25than how your kid acts at school is on you the parent boris is out here pooping his pants to
08:32the
08:33media you're the one who allows it scott shut up scott make me a tiger for life or you're firing
08:42tarik wants to play both ways tarik wants to have his cake and eat it too i won't sign with
08:50you but i
08:51don't want to leave and you need to buy and don't forget i'm a good person anything else maybe we
08:56could have pause wash your chandelier in the seventh inning stretch what are we doing here he won't be
09:03there for the seventh inning he will already be out of the game and by the way yeah that's the
09:10other
09:10thing no offense if this guy was coming off back-to-back complete games dude you can't even get out
09:15of the
09:15fifth inning right so i i don't want to hear it yeah i want to hear from you guys i
09:21lord knows i don't
09:22want to talk about any of this but my god i'd boo him i'm not telling you to do it
09:29i'm just telling you
09:30if this cat was doing this crap in a real baseball town he'd be booed out of his home park
09:38because
09:39intelligent fans see what's going on here and you don't i can't believe i'm saying ready
09:46derrick jeter respect kid oh god i hate saying this the detroit tigers don't deserve to be treated this
09:53way i'm just wondering i gotta take a shower it's okay but they don't i i said they're doing the
10:02fiscally responsible thing we got we drew a line in the sand terrick if you meet us there we can
10:07come
10:08up with something if not this is going to be it for you and now the tough choice is do
10:12you trade
10:13him or not have you had a shot that nobody said follow it up what well okay well terrick if
10:18you
10:18want to be here so bad why don't you just sign the deal and the other one is the whole
10:23and and look
10:23there's i know it gets lost in this but i don't want your point forgotten in this i know i'm
10:28more
10:29upset about i never gave up i'm oh he's telling his friends he wants to stay your point in everybody's
10:36face when you said that you had something left in the tank when you had the opportunity
10:40right there to do something that the tigers hadn't done in a long time you're the ace you're the one
10:46that everybody leans on terrick tell your manager to go back in the dugout tell your manager to go
10:51back in the dugout i've seen it before right no you would have you would have been able to live
10:55up
10:55there with the jack morrises and of justin verlanders of just that guy like no turn around go back i'm
11:02gonna stay out here in this game this team needs me he could have this town needs me and i'm
11:06gonna
11:06deliver because he was still dealing that game he wasn't struggling at all he went back sat in the
11:12dugout and said well that's pretty good you guys can handle it from here right no they couldn't you
11:17bailed on this city and this team in the playoffs that's how it's perceived and honestly i'm sorry
11:22dude you didn't throw 125 pitches you threw 99 but now in a regular season game he had every
11:27right as a two-time cy young award winner if he goes to aj and goes aj you're not taking
11:33me out
11:33of this game he doesn't get in his face this isn't an earl weaver nose to nose thing aj hey
11:38here's the
11:38deal come here i want to say it in your good ear you take me out i'll kill you right
11:42the second he
11:43gets up out of the dugout he just points back but but then he goes then he goes into the
11:47clubhouse
11:47you know i'm not here to create a story about it but let me create a story about it i
11:54had something
11:54left in the tank okay and and and if you would have went out there and let the phillies keep
12:00having batting practice what would have solved or you stay in that game in seattle since you want to
12:06bring it up you could actually won that thing and played the blue jays i want to hear from the
12:10people
12:11you got two issues to talk about but they both involve the same guy are you are we done like
12:15are
12:15we unified on this we are done with this guy i can't take it anymore i don't want him here
12:19i think
12:20i'd like this team more if he wasn't here that's insane to say he's a two-time cy young award
12:25winner
12:25i don't want to look at him or as rico likes to say here because i don't this guy wants
12:33to have his
12:34cake and eat it too this is like dealing with like a like a 13 year old child i want
12:40an everlasting
12:40gobstopper you can't control every piece of this you have made decisions you are allowing certain
12:48things to go on and you're saying certain things you have to own that two four eight five three nine
12:5397 97 i desperately want to hear from you on this even though i desperately don't want to talk about
13:00it could be worse it could be the number one thing on your list what's number one number one
13:08larkin oh yeah no i don't want to hear about that no more either i said this was only number
13:13two
13:13it could be worse i know okay all right we'll hear from the people we'll get to david and corbin
