00:11well that that one uh that one's strong man you look for big moments in a season
00:15and giving up this lead taking three of four against kansas city you know it's it's at some
00:21point there's a tipping point and i felt yesterday the tipping point went to they need a miracle to
00:27justify not a sell-off at this point 248-539-9797 champ and chump get your votes in champ and
00:34chump
00:34brought to you by sarah chevrolet sterling heights we go to keith at oak park you're next hello keith
00:40hi um i was in chicago last week i was at the game last wednesday the game the tigers beat
00:46the cubs
00:47five to one at wrigley field yep my champ is the cubs wrigley field that whole development around
00:55the stadium there the bars the restaurants it was happy i mean every place was happy
01:01and and and just the vibe that the city had there and um my chump's going to be the village
01:11organization olympian entertainment and the detroit uh you know the tigers because they said once
01:18little caesars and the red wings too i guess so they said when little caesars arena was going to be
01:22open
01:22we were going to have something similar to that here in detroit and so far as you guys know there
01:30very little happens so a couple things uh one is wrigleyville is awesome and and for people who've
01:36been to games at wrigley field i know gator um somebody posted on twitch immediately gator's
01:41hard rolling his eyes right now because he hates where he hates the wrigley field hype but it is i
01:46will
01:47tell you that it's it's a great neighborhood it is a ton of fun to go to games there especially
01:53on
01:53weekends like when detroit is there or when michigan played at wrigley field against northwestern
01:58and you have a drivable fan base that can come in and and hang out before and after the game
02:03and so
02:04for detroit fans if you ever get a chance to go i highly recommend it it is a good game
02:09watching
02:09experience and playing the whole day around wrigleyville because pre-game and post-game um
02:15it is awesome the illiches have a degree of culpability certainly around lca when it felt
02:22like a hockey village thing was being proposed i don't know that they can be blamed for lack of
02:26development outside of that they aren't responsible for every empty lot or every bar or restaurant that
02:34didn't get built but there was definitely and and this is where i get i used to love artist
02:41renderings and now i feel like artist renderings do more damage than good because they create an
02:45unrealistic expectation uh where you're walking around outside a stadium going where's the guy with
02:51the ukulele and where's the yoga class and where's the where's the band and where's the kite flyers and
02:58where's the bars and restaurants however more was promised and that for that i i agree with you
03:05248-539-9797 uh time for our champion chump nominations my champion a weekend i'm going how
03:12you lee five for ten with three doubles in a home run there are some growing concerns about scott
03:21harris's veteran acquisitions and what he's gotten back in trades michael lorenzen for how you lee
03:26might be one of the better points at the top of the resume uh behind drafting kevin mcgoner
03:34as far as the strongest move that he has made how you lee my champion weekend kang your champion
03:40weekend yeah that was a bright spot for uh not so many bright spots for the tigers this weekend for
03:44me i'm stepping outside the state of michigan for my champ of the weekend i don't want to do this
03:48i
03:48don't feel good about doing this doug but i'm gonna champ the philadelphia 76ers um not a fan of philvy
03:55or
03:55anything like that but i'm completely jealous of the weekend they got because they got lebron james
04:00and it wasn't over you know it was right before the weekend but remember how exciting that was when
04:05you would get a text or get an alert of breaking news and a big name player was headed to
04:09your team
04:10that used to happen here in detroit and that happened for philly then you see guys like kevin
04:15hart or saquon barkley or bryce harper like public figures you know posting on social media how excited
04:21they are they welcome to the city welcome stay come here let me know if you need anything things like
04:25that i miss that stuff and so they got that over the weekend i'm super jealous lebron james joining
04:30the sixers must have been really fun for those fans uh my chump of the weekend is the tigers
04:35bullpen for all the reasons that have been mentioned uh really they're gonna cost you a game here or
04:40there everybody outside the astros have double digit blown saves but 24 by the tigers leads the league
04:45and and two this weekend that cost them the lead saturday and sunday all right i'm sticking with the
04:50nba my chump of the weekend is brad stevens the president gm of the boston celtics which when he
04:55traded jalen brown and basically gave jalen brown away to the sixers i think he started something he
05:00didn't realize that was the domino effect of then lebron james thought well the sixers are a real
05:04possibility now because i want to win a championship and that's what he did and how does that affect us
05:09here locally the pistons might have got lapped and it's not just by the sixers other teams are getting
05:15better as well but the sixers on paper and hey you still got to play the games but on paper
05:19they look
05:20like the team to beat in the east and that that's that's not good for me doug because i'm a
05:24piston
05:24fan understood two four eight five three nine ninety seven ninety seven get your championship votes in
05:30if you have heard your if you're on hold or you sent a text don't worry we tally up the
05:35votes that's
05:35how it works it's democracy tally up the votes and uh post on our website on tuesday who the people
05:41select this championship but a weekend we go to sam next on 97.1 hello sam hey good uh morning
05:48what's up my champ uh is his golf jackson coiven yeah i might be saying his name wrong uh rookie
05:56golfer beat scotty shuffler to win his first championship really congrats to him really good
06:02and uh my chump is going to be what you said tigers bullpen
06:08it's now time to sell scoogle there i don't think they're going to go to the playoffs i don't think
06:14they're you know going to win the next six games in a row it's just unrealistic so sell scoogle for
06:20what you can get and focus on next year sam yes jackson coiven was unbelievable yesterday ran away
06:26and hid from scotty shuffler he just went pro a few weeks ago former auburn golfer and he is scheduled
06:33to be at the rocket classic this week in detroit so hopefully he follows through on that commitment
06:39and as part of the field uh but yeah jackson coiven was unbelievable i when i turned it off he
06:44was 24 under at the 3m and three shots clear of scotty with a hole to go and he obviously
06:50closed it out
06:51i didn't see what he finished the score at but uh quite a way to burst onto the scene finished
06:5525 under
06:56quite a way to burst onto the scene jackson coiven 248 539 97 97 yep and bullpen
07:04you know it's it's relying on guys to expect them with a track record of performance for you to keep
07:12it up and the the new ads haven't helped and the bullpen has been dreadful it's been absolutely
07:19dreadful and probably the single biggest factor that's undermined this team's chances
07:24jake on a cell is next hello jake hey doug how's it going what's up oh working in sudbury again
07:31okay gotcha um so i got a champion chump for you uh i'll start with the chump obviously gonna run
07:38away with it this weekend is the tigers bullpen i mean they've been getting quality starts from
07:43their starters and you know decent offense especially with how you lead and then you got
07:48the bullpen that goes out and they just destroy it you know it's really frustrating it's a frustrating
07:54way to lose baseball games and i mean i'm sitting there watching the game yesterday i'm like
07:58okay great they got this lead uh are they going to protect this one and the answer was no
08:05yeah you know it is very frustrating especially when you're getting decent offense and you know the
08:11bats are hitting and and you're getting quality starts or your starters and then the relievers come
08:17in and then they just blow it uh my champ is going to be uh dylan cease from the toronto
08:24blue jays for
08:24throwing a complete game 12 strikeouts i believe against boston okay got your vote
08:35all right doctor thank you two four eight five three nine 97 97 uh chris and davidson with the
08:41following text my champ is definitely morgan wallen do put on the best show i've seen on friday night
08:45chump is a tiger's bullpen morgan wallen show on friday night was awesome absolutely awesome
08:51really really good and it was hutch it was hutch let him down the tunnel it wasn't shrie tanador it
08:58wasn't shrie tanador it was kind of that was my guess but it turned out it wasn't him uh tigers
09:04at morbo saves this season that you do saves a stunning statistic in the epitome of this team
09:08that's from an unnamed texter champ is dylan dingler for continuing to play at elite level chump
09:14us myself for thinking the tigers had a chance then came the weekend that's from greg and lavonia
09:18right down first vote for greg and lavonia and dingler's been unbelievable like if they happen
09:25to for whatever pull off a miracle go six and oh this week and get right back into this thing
09:29you know what's going to happen dingler's going to sneak in as a fringe mvp guy like he'll get some
09:34mvp votes to be a catcher a gold glove caliber catcher who's been so clutch this year i think they
09:40threw the stat up on the screen yesterday at 36 37 rbis with two strikes and that was second best
09:46in
09:46the majors uh he has been just just been outstanding and um you know he won't win mvp but
09:53if they they creep back into this thing and the unlikelihood that they creep back into this thing
09:58yeah i think you'd get some mvp votes uh mark in grand rapids champ is cory heim for winning a
10:04second cup race in 15 starts chump the tigers they really need to sweep the royals
10:09so the cory heim kid i watched the end of the brickyard 400 and maybe nascar guy can clear this
10:14up am i wrong what's happened to that event i i don't remember there being fields of empty seats
10:22at the brickyard maybe maybe my memory doesn't serve me i used to think the brickyard was a big deal
10:28i couldn't believe how many people weren't there but maybe nascar guy can help me out maybe my memory
10:36doesn't serve me right maybe it was never as big a deal but didn't that used to be the like
10:42a huge
10:43midsummer event in nascar i was kind of surprised that's what i took away from that 248-539-9797
10:51it's carson anderson 97-1
