00:00Doug Karsh, Scott Anderson, 97-1.
00:03Tigers lose 4-2 on a bullpen day.
00:06I got a thought about that that we'll get to here in a second.
00:10I have a thought. I'm going to share a thought.
00:13See who else lost last night?
00:17Cleveland?
00:18Yeah.
00:19Oh, Casey Mize.
00:21Was it the worst start of his career?
00:23I mean, it's got to be up there.
00:26He went three innings, gave up eight runs.
00:29You have to wonder.
00:30I mean, you seriously have to wonder how much a midseason upheaval
00:34has an impact on a player.
00:37Like if Casey Mize didn't get traded and started last night
00:40for the Detroit Tigers, whatever stuff that he had last night,
00:46three and a third, nine hits, three walks,
00:51one strikeout, eight earned runs.
00:54The only thing to keep in mind, this was really clue number one
00:57they were going to trade him, is when they skipped his start.
01:01Yeah, that's a clue.
01:02That's the only clue like we're talking, right?
01:06Yeah.
01:07They skipped his start on whatever it was supposed to be
01:09on Friday or Saturday.
01:10I mean, so he had 11 days off between starts.
01:14Okay.
01:15Maybe that had something to do with it.
01:16Maybe the midseason upheaval.
01:18Like if he had started last night for the Tigers,
01:19would he have been that bad?
01:23You know, how much does it have to do with missing a start?
01:26How much does it have to do with uprooting and going across country?
01:29Probably a lot.
01:30A new team, new stadium, new environment, new catcher.
01:34New chip on your shoulder.
01:36I didn't hear any of this energy for Scooble's start.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Derek Scooble's fine.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Except lost.
01:44Oh, you lost, yeah.
01:45Oh, did the Dodgers lose again?
01:47Yeah, they did.
01:47Oh, that's just too bad.
01:49I hate to see that.
01:51Just hate.
01:52So Casey Mize and Tarek Scooble are 0-2.
01:55That's right.
01:56Okay.
01:57I'm not particularly rooting against them, per se.
02:01I am.
02:03Well, I'll say this.
02:04I didn't think I was against Casey Mize.
02:08I really didn't.
02:09But the last couple days, I've started to well up some real disdain.
02:13Yeah.
02:14How do you properly categorize this emotion?
02:17Of, I'm not rooting against you, but then when he gets shelled, I'm like.
02:21Like Scooble, I was.
02:22Scooble was easy because of his agent.
02:24He's easy to dislike because of the agent.
02:25Yeah, that makes sense.
02:27And he could have said so many different things than what he said along the way, but whatever.
02:32But Casey Mize, I've always liked Casey Mize.
02:35Casey Mize has said nothing.
02:37You root for the guy who's drafted 1-1.
02:39Casey Mize might have signed here.
02:41Right.
02:41If they wanted him.
02:42But they didn't.
02:44The organization.
02:44For whatever reason.
02:45Well, maybe they didn't want him because three and a third, nine hits, three walks, eight earned runs.
02:51Maybe they felt that that was still going to be in the repertoire way too much.
02:55Going to the IL in three, two.
02:58Right.
02:58I mean, is it because that's what happens with him.
03:00Sometimes.
03:01This year, unfortunately, it's, you know, whatever the groin issue was at the groin.
03:05I mean, I feel like going back old school, Ray Lane asking Doug Wilson after the Blackhawks player got hurt
03:13and he's coming off.
03:14Is it a groin injury, Doug?
03:16I feel like, is it a groin injury, Casey?
03:18Did that actually happen?
03:19Yeah.
03:20Okay.
03:21Now I need to hear this story because this is, first of all, good Ray Lane impression.
03:25Ray Lane, longtime Detroit sportscaster.
03:27So this is the late 80s, mid, mid 80s and Red Wings are playing.
03:32I believe they're playing in Chicago and Ray Lane is outside the boards, you know, like where they would open
03:38up the doors and get people off the ice if he had to.
03:40He's standing there and he's doing his report and they're talking to him about Doug, Doug Wilson, defenseman had gotten
03:47injured and he's being carted off.
03:52And he's lying on his gurney as they're cutting him off.
03:55And Ray Lane's in mid report and he's like, is it a groin injury, Doug?
04:00And Doug Wilson looks back and I'm like, F you, man.
04:04I'm on a gurney.
04:06Leave me alone.
04:07And we'll get back to you.
04:10Dave and Mickey at Capcom.
04:12The only thing better is if we would ask, is it the meniscus?
04:15Is it the meniscus?
04:16Is it the meniscus, Doug?
04:21Why did Ray think he was diagnosing an injury?
04:24I forget what happened on the ice at a time.
04:27He must have liked it.
04:29Maybe his legs got, you know, separated and did the splits or something.
04:33Is it a groin injury, Doug?
04:36Always stuck with me.
04:38It's like 1986.
04:39I kind of want to get a shirt.
04:44I could wear it.
04:45I could wear it.
04:46Is it a groin injury, Doug?
04:48Would it just be the script or you want Ray Lane's face on the front with, is it a groin
04:52injury, Doug?
04:53On the back.
04:53I think I just want the script.
04:55Okay.
04:55With the, in quotes, with a question mark.
04:59With the date, you know.
05:00It'd be awesome if I had a shirt that said, is it a groin injury, Doug?
05:08Well, I guess this thought isn't earth shattering about the game last night.
05:12I don't know if having Miser Scoobel start that game matters.
05:14When you only score two runs, you're probably going to lose anyway.
05:18It's basically saying Miser or Scoobel had to throw a shutout or give up one run for an offense that
05:24only scored two.
05:25Because if you scored two, eventually you're going to have to go to the bullpen.
05:29And that's not the greatest of options.
05:32But, yeah, Casey got knocked around pretty good.
05:35Yeah.
05:35And Brian Wu, who pitched for Seattle, was outstanding last night.
05:39And you go back and look at his last five starts, and he has not been outstanding.
05:43He's not been outstanding on the season.
05:44But, my goodness, last night he was dominant over the Tigers.
05:49Yeah.
05:49And Colt Keith hammered the ball three times and had nothing to show for it, which is unfortunate.
05:58Including the one that you talked earlier about, Aron Zarena.
06:02Who took a good route to the ball.
06:08He did.
06:09Yeah.
06:10I don't know if you've noticed, but the Detroit Sports Net, when they're just running the same thing over and
06:18over and over,
06:19they include a highlight where Dan Dickerson says,
06:22And Aron Zarena took another bad route to the ball.
06:24It's one of the highlights that gets played that I've heard 10,000 times.
06:28So, any time Aron Zarena is tracking down a fly ball, I'm thinking,
06:33Double D's got this.
06:34Is he taking a good route to the ball?
06:36It's not Double D's fault.
06:37I'm not correct.
06:37But it's part of their...
06:39Did you take a bad route?
06:40Randy.
06:43Anybody who's been locked in on Detroit Sports Net when they're not in broadcast and they're just showing highlights,
06:49one of them is Aron Zarena takes a bad route to the ball.
06:51But he took a great route to the ball.
06:53Made the play.
06:54I mean, it was a home run.
06:56He robbed him of the home run.
06:57He had another one where he just played it so quickly out there in left field,
07:00got it into third base, and they threw out Torres.
07:03He was great.
07:04But the Tigers just couldn't get that one big smack until they did.
07:10Unfortunately, then right away after that, you get the...
07:13Emerson hits the home run.
07:15On the ball that looked like he didn't...
07:17It looked like he thought that he had just pulled it.
07:19And it was like, no, that's right center field 450 feet away or whatever.
07:23Well, I'll say this.
07:24Six days after the trade deadline,
07:26when you sell off two of your top three arms,
07:29there's always a good chance that you're not talking about this season at all.
07:32At all.
07:33Right.
07:33And we still get to talk about this season.
07:35They're still in it.
07:36Well, they kept the best arm.
07:37Yeah.
07:39I hope that is the most accurate thing you'll say today.
07:43248-539-9797.
07:45Okay, Brad Holmes did have something to say yesterday down at Allen Park about Jameer Gibbs.
07:51Nothing announced yet, but there was news this morning.
07:53We'll get into what Brad Holmes had to say at 11.02 here on Carson Anderson on 97.1.
