00:00so i'm watching this game last night tigers in seattle and you know seattle doesn't have
00:06the best reputation defensively makes a brutal error that leads to the tigers getting a
00:11early early lead and um ended up being a one of those shutouts that you like so much another one
00:19yeah and um and i realized with all respect to we're watching the leftovers
00:29we're watching the leftovers and i want these leftovers to make the playoffs i knew better
00:34for a second i thought you meant like the tv show the leftovers no i know what we have left
00:40i want to know if what we have left is good enough it is going to be awesome but this
00:46really comes down
00:47to it comes down to two things because i think tonight is where the vulnerability of the leftovers
00:54really shows because tonight we're getting a drew anderson start so this is like an example of
00:59okay tangibly here is where not having casey mize and terrick scoobel matters is we're getting a drew
01:06anderson start and there's also so drew anderson is is suddenly a guy that we need to have
01:15consecutive out-of-body experiences to not have this hurt we also i mean take it for what it's worth
01:23yo bar diaz okay struck out the side in the ninth he touched 99 on the gun he hit 98
01:31on the gun four
01:32times that wasn't without some oh yeah he gave up a hit and he gave up a walk yeah but
01:37he also in 30
01:39pitches coaxed nine swings and misses out of seattle which you know a a 33 percent whiff rate
01:48there are 16 pitchers in baseball that have that like so it's not there's talent there he just can
01:54you harness it can you harness it i'll say this is which is true of every major league pitcher in
02:00baseball 30 pitches is by no means enough for me to claim well the tiger should they should be doing
02:06a victory lap over claiming this guy from arizona but these are the guys from the leftovers that need
02:12to have out-of-body experiences yeah and then there's the reinforcement of jackson job jackson
02:17job could make it not hurt as much i listen i certainly hope so i don't have high expectations
02:25for jackson job this year i don't and i don't know what his real future is because we haven't seen
02:31anything and when he was pitching in the minors years ago it wasn't like he was he wasn't just a
02:37verlander in the minors he had his ups and downs in the minors so i don't know what to really
02:41expect
02:42and again this is another tale of incredible arm talent this guy reaches triple digits on the gun
02:47and he's got good other other pitches secondary pitches as well but does he know how to pitch
02:53can he harness all that talent and put it together it takes a long time to be able to do
02:59that and i hope
03:00that he can hit the ground running but my hope level for that is way higher than my expectation
03:06yeah i don't have high expectation look what did i just say i just said i'm not yelling at you
03:10i'm
03:11stating my case i i understand and i'm making sure that people understand what i'm saying you like
03:15paul sarah i don't understand oh come on man i uh i i'm calling for out-of-body experiences
03:23for drew anderson and yobar diaz i'm calling for it now i i might be falling too much for what
03:30my eyes
03:30show me but watching jackson job's minor league rehab starts i think he looks filthy absolutely
03:37filthy so against single a players yes but i'm not talking about i don't care i'm looking at
03:43i'm looking at triple digits and pitch movement and changing speeds i just want to temper your
03:49enthusiasm and in and in being in the zone the result is the result like one of his i think
03:54he
03:54touched 101 and a guy hit a line drive into left field i'm like hey at least he's comfortably
03:58throwing triple digits so 248-539-9797 let's go to chris and nova you're on 971 hello chris
04:06good morning good morning i'm so proud of milton uh yeah he looks really good he looks great
04:14almost 100 years in and i i'm not gonna feel bad for scoobo you wanted to walk away you didn't
04:24play for detroit you play for the dollar chris did you say you didn't play because you didn't love
04:31detroit and no he's showing up there's no question he showed up and he has let me tell you
04:39curtis granderson told the yankees don't play me because he wanted cabrera to get the triple crown
04:50he could have he could have played and he walked away and he cried when he left he played for
04:58detroit
04:59chris did you say you're almost 100 years in no i'm saying we're almost 100 years in
05:07milton did this because he did the last time was 1927 we got one more year he's 99 years and
05:16he did this
05:18did did what i'm sorry i'm not following
05:23what melton do well wasn't i i think the 1927 number is that the tigers as a team have scored
05:30eight runs or more in five straight games which hasn't been done what melton do melton pitched well
05:37yeah he threw a shutout seven innings yep i mean okay i can do this i'm not i'm not we
05:45might not do
05:45the world series but you know what we're showing up every day chris thank you 248-539-9797
05:56full cost feedback let's go
06:02oh come on why'd you do that what i had to break the ice at that point guys
06:11remember when doug said that
06:14said what
06:25is chris still there hey chris
06:31oh
06:33all right good lord um other things last night max clark while he went over do you know how many
06:40pitches he faced last night and five at bats i don't but i will guess
06:4729 yeah it was 25 okay so five five per bat this is this is the the player that fits
06:54the profile
06:54that scott harris wanted as far as quality bats swinging pitches in the strike zone he's fouling off
07:00top pitches to hit when he starts swinging at the first pitch because pitchers are like oh this guy's
07:06gonna take some right and then he's gonna he'll make his adjustment this is gonna be i i hope that
07:12they really have one here and it looks like they've got the makings of one i'm not ready to
07:16declare after you know four games that he's he's the guy but i like what i see sure really like
07:22what i see
07:23out of him and i'm i'm encouraged by what this team can be offensively because of all of this
07:30younger talent that they have um valencia is not younger but i mean the guys that are under the
07:38age of of 28 they got a ton of you know riley green's a three-time all-star he's 25
07:43years old
07:44uh feedback coming into the carson anderson inbox from kj i want to know what you think of this drew
07:50anderson will be better as a starter than a reliever mental makeup is more suited for starting well when
07:58they signed him i thought that was going to be the case that he was supposed to be a starter
08:01and
08:01then they went out and got frame of valdez and justin verlander so that that changed things up i'm
08:07i'm curious to see if if if he is better suited to be a starter but i'm not sure how
08:12stretched out he
08:13is at this point how many innings he's supposed to give you tonight or how many pitches he's going
08:17to be able to throw i suspect that if he's pitching well that maybe it's four but we'll see i
08:24mean
08:24what we're we're asking i think what happens is when somebody leaves you go well everybody's got
08:32to step up and do a little bit more that's great to say in theory but i'm sure dylan dingler
08:36and how
08:37you lee and javi baez and riley green have been trying as hard as they can uh up until the
08:44trade
08:44deadline the question is who can give you more i'm not sure drew anderson can but this is the tangible
08:52impact of not having the pitchers that they traded away is we're going to get a drew anderson start
08:58uh diaz kind of reminds me of soriano rough uh of the soriano rafael soriano rafael soriano
09:06okay but the person wrote soriano rafael soriano uh i think that's who it was
09:12last year or montero wait can't what is this i'm sorry i have no idea what that's why we just
09:18leave
09:18it says he reminds me of rafael soriano who was a hard throwing relief pitcher i love when teams in
09:24this town give me a glimmer of hope and everyone give a give a glimmer of hope to everyone only
09:30to
09:30let everyone down you love that this person loves when the teams in our town give us a glimmer of
09:37hope
09:37that's just a hater and only let everyone down i don't know why you would love that because that
09:42that's how people are programmed i get a truck when the tigers make the playoffs they're going to be a
09:46dangerous team to play well i don't really think of i don't really think of them that way but hey
09:53look not yet but i listen troy melton's only 12 starts in right for this season what a 12 start
10:02stretch an era of 1.5 his whip is below 1.0 i just threw seven shutout innings last night
10:12he's uh he's been awfully awfully good and let's knock on wood that he can stay healthy and continue
10:17to do so matt is next on 971 hello matt hey good morning dog and gator uh you know i'm
10:25happy scoogle's
10:26gone i was watching the dodgers game last night and it brought me so much joy to watch him crash
10:31and burn
10:32and i hope there's more games like that in the dodgers future uh because screw them uh they're
10:38they they're over advantaged and that's possible why they're going to be a lockout for the tigers you
10:45know we're only one and a half games back so i i do think they'll clinch the wild card spot
10:51vision i don't know but i you know i i see a tigers playoff run this year
10:59well i hope you're right it certainly would be fun and a weird formula they will have executed
11:06twice in three years sell and make a run uh which doesn't you know doesn't feel like it would logically
11:12follow but and they're a long way away from doing it you you are confident they're going to do it
11:17i am
11:17not but there is a path there and it's it's reliant upon some perhaps out-of-body experiences it's
11:25reliant upon maybe jackson joe but um well the offense has to keep doing yeah and maybe not this
11:32much but it can't be as dead as they have been at times two four eight five three nine 97
11:3897 all right
11:38scott harris said a couple things about this team make it a run hear what he had to say
11:42starting at 10 32 on karshan anderson on 97 one
