00:00What is the locker room and the clubhouse like for Detroit right now?
00:04Casey Mize gets scratched, kind of in limbo.
00:08Everybody knows the rumors.
00:11Is it good?
00:12Is it not good, you think?
00:13Yeah, no, today it's great.
00:14Today it's great because you have Max Clark.
00:16He's a rookie.
00:16He's going to make his debut.
00:18It's going to be a very good environment for Detroit today.
00:20I don't think it's a secret at all, Joe, that the reason why they did this is just to see
00:25if this can lead to a spark for the weekend.
00:27And see what could happen.
00:30In my opinion, do I think Detroit is going to trade Scooble?
00:33Yes.
00:34Is there some public relations behind this with Max Clark?
00:37Maybe, you know, maybe so.
00:39Maybe that's what's going on here.
00:40Hopefully this kid gets hot, you know, subsides a little bit with some of the trades that they're going to
00:45make.
00:45But I am of the opinion that Detroit is going to move at least Scooble.
00:50I think they're just so far on the outside looking in and they're definitely not as good as Cleveland, Joe.
00:55If you ask me at the end of the season, could Detroit catch Minnesota?
00:59Yes, I believe so.
01:01Yes.
01:02But I think Cleveland is way better than Detroit.
01:05I don't even think it's particularly close.
01:07I mean, I know the Guardians haven't played great all season and they aren't even really hitting with Jose Ramirez.
01:12And Jose Ramirez is hitting all that much.
01:14But Cleveland's a very well-run organization.
01:17They know how to beat you.
01:19And I think they're better than Detroit.
01:21So if I was a Tiger's front office, I would be playing for the future.
01:25And that's unfortunate because how did this window open and close for them so fast?
01:31All right.
01:32That is a fantastic question.
01:34I'll say this, though.
01:35Springs, the lefty, is on the mound.
01:38It's not been great, obviously, pitches in Sacramento there.
01:43But it's not like Detroit.
01:45Detroit, 30th in Major League Baseball over the last two weeks, Craig, against left-handed pitching.
01:51It's not like we're going to trust them to score a million runs here.
01:55I'm still trying to figure out how not one game.
01:58And it was interesting.
01:59Red Sox won last night.
02:01We talked about that game.
02:02Didn't go over again, Craig.
02:03It is the first time since being in Sacramento that the Athletics in a home series, not one game went
02:11over.
02:13That's crazy.
02:14Yeah, I like your idea of Tampa Bay.
02:17The other two options you gave me I don't like that much.
02:20I would stay away also from that game with Detroit.
02:24I mean, it sounds like, to me, Joe, you're looking for maybe a potential dog.
02:28And the A's have been the worst team in baseball for a month and a half.
02:31Like, I am not backing them.
