00:01are you gonna eat that today at 12 35 it's karshen anderson here on 97 one talking about
00:07the tigers going into the noon break which is obviously a headline story we did have a ton of
00:11jameer gibbs talk at the beginning of the show so if if you're uh if you're inclined to want to
00:16keep discussing uh whether you approve disapprove and you know we've gotten the disapproval calls
00:21today and you know they're clearly um not fans of the way holmes is trying to do what he's trying
00:28to do which is when a super bowl they would do it a different way and that would include not
00:32going long-term contracts on all of their players and taking some of that money and going out of
00:37house to try and add um it you know if you believe in the way and i think here's to
00:43to maybe maybe this
00:45is the way holmes is thinking i think i'm really good at this draft thing so i'm going to keep
00:49getting
00:50good young players and so i'm going to be able to have the next generation of cheap players making
00:56place for us while the previous generation is working their way through their primes of their
01:02careers where i have to pay them that's probably the way he's thinking now if you are starting to
01:08grow skeptical about his drafts they haven't all been home runs three years ago looks like it's
01:12ultimately a disaster they could still get some mahogany out of it um but that's about it uh two years
01:20ago i think could be sneaky good it really is depending on the first three picks lots of positive feedback
01:25on williams and tesla ratledge showed promise and got a lot of run last year so we'll see um
01:32but there's that if you want to keep going i said we get to these quotes from tiger players
01:39so scott let me dive into all right uh chris mccoskey in the detroit news would it's because
01:43everybody's starting to ask the players hey um this sleight of hand where you get rid of two critical
01:51components and keep winning how's this happening colt keith i think we're just putting our heads
01:56down and going out and playing i don't know other teams records i barely know ours we're just playing
02:01good ball we're going out and having good at bats and playing well aj hinch our personality is locked
02:08in this group really doesn't get impacted by too much multiple things can happen at the same time
02:13we can be bummed that a few of our favorites have walked out the door and still collect ourselves and
02:17go back to playing the game that's what we can control we still have a lot of talent in this
02:22room
02:22and as we've proved by coming out here and winning a series and chipping away at the hole we dug
02:28we're not out of it yet but we're heading in the right direction again from chris mccoskey dylan
02:33dingler we're playing good ball the offense is coming around the defense has been great the pitching is doing
02:39great we have to keep doing it uh from the athletic kenley jansen did the lineup change
02:49the lineup didn't change did the bullpen change the bullpen didn't change at the end of the day
02:54who plays the most it's the position players and the bullpen they're going to have to play most every
02:59day it's got to start with me to stop step it up i've got to step it up and pitch
03:04better i'll be honest
03:05the american league is not that great this year everything's wide open the division's wide open
03:08this team has it they showed it the last couple of years i mean these are all he's factually correct
03:16i mean this is a team that's been in the playoffs the last two years uh it's it's hard to
03:21fathom that
03:22this team can still compete for a playoff spot without scoobal and mize but it's exactly what they're
03:27doing and they've got a lot of young pieces that are coming together here you know the emergence of
03:34dylan dingler is massive this year compared to where he has been in the previous couple years
03:39where he was good but i mean now he's taking his game to a different level he's the best catcher
03:43in
03:43baseball well he's starting to get some recognition around we'll get to your phone calls
03:54what do you think the odds are of him winning the mvp dylan dingler yeah
04:00um interesting if this team makes the playoffs
04:06just trying to think is there a dominant just ruling out the pitchers because usually they don't
04:11win mvps unless you've had a ridiculous season i don't think anybody's on track for that
04:16um
04:20yeah he's got a chance i'm trying to think of the the hitters in the american league
04:28okay
04:31i'd like you to forward a guess so we don't have dead air give me just give me a guess
04:35oh you're asking this specific what his odds are i they're
04:40it would be plus
04:421500
04:4315 to 1
04:45something like that
04:47as of today on fan duel if you bet one dollar
04:51and he wins mvp
04:53you win back
04:54one hundred dollars
04:56he's 100 to one
04:58yep
05:00okay yeah okay now
05:01you're not on alvarez is gonna he's the guy
05:03now
05:05we did this with kate cunningham
05:08and the way i see it scott
05:09mm-hmm
05:10will i really miss two dollars
05:12you will not
05:13but would i pick two one hundred dollar bills up off the ground
05:17yes you will
05:18my two dollar bet is in
05:20i went two dollars
05:21you went to two
05:22i went heavy
05:22on dylan dingler
05:24for mvp
05:25a hundred to one man
05:28a hundred to one
05:30you thought it'd be fifteen to one
05:31this is good value right
05:32uh yeah it's really good value
05:34um i'm just looking at
05:36so
05:38his his war
05:40is 4.8
05:43which is
05:44high in the league
05:45but it's not the best
05:46it's um
05:47he's
05:48looks to be around like
05:50ninth in the america
05:51well that's in all of baseball actually
05:52he's doing really well
05:55yeah i find that
05:56i find that number to be interesting
05:58i find that number to be awfully interesting
06:00he is fifth in the american league
06:02now don't i'm not endorsing anybody go heavy on this
06:06i'm just i'm saying he's still 100 to one for a reason
06:10if i had to bet right now i don't think he's going to win it
06:12but for two dollars to win 200
06:15that's a nice dinner
06:16for two bucks
06:17that is a nice dinner

07:02not an accidental 13 though
07:04no it's not accidental 13
07:06the payout would be nice
07:07but
07:08yeah a hundred to one
07:09i brought up a couple weeks ago
07:11i thought he might sneak into some
07:12you know
07:13the the voting
07:14where he's you know
07:16he'll be on the graphic
07:17when the winners are announced
07:18but
07:18he's got 50 extra base hits right now
07:20dude
07:20the guy's a stud
07:22he's an absolute stud
07:2578 rbi in the season right now
07:28there's a lot to like
07:29with what dylan dingler has done
07:31and he's
07:31oh yeah
07:32he's the best catcher in baseball
07:33clearly
07:34yep
07:34but
07:35i mean i'm glad you brought this up
07:36because yes
07:37he's
07:37he's an mvp candidate
07:39albeit a little distant away from
07:41your don alvarez
07:43sure
07:43yeah
07:45uh
07:45two four eight five three nine
07:46ninety seven ninety seven
07:48uh
07:48do you think
07:49all the news
07:50that was surrounding the team
07:51about scoobal being out of the clubhouse
07:54has allowed the team to start having fun again
07:56which is leading to this offensive explosion
08:01do i think it's possible
08:02that
08:03the scoobal storyline
08:05weighed them down
08:06not really
08:06because they were winning right up to the trade deadline
08:08i mean
08:09they've just continued doing what they were doing
08:11before he was
08:12traded
08:13so no i don't
08:14i don't think that's a factor
08:17uh
08:18could it be that the a's and mariners are just bad
08:20that's from rick on the app
08:21yeah it could be a big part of it
08:22but you got to take advantage of that
08:24and then do what you can
08:25next week's a big test
08:27next week's a big test
08:28when you play
08:28the white socks and the guardians
08:30and then after that
08:31at some point
08:32you got the dodgers
08:33and the
08:33and the rays
08:34and you got a bunch of games against the twins
08:36and more games against the
08:38the white socks and guardians
08:39when you
08:39when you play the scheduling game
08:41when we have to remind ourselves
08:42and we do this
08:43we're
08:44cognizant of it
08:45it's a dangerous game to play
08:47because everybody's a major league player
08:49and anything can happen
08:50round bat round ball
08:51and the kansas city series
08:53a prime example of it
08:54of a team that
08:55you know was right there with detroit
08:57they should have beat
08:58and they didn't
08:58especially without
08:59who they were putting on the field
09:01with bobby witt jr out
09:02so when they go out
09:03and do what they're supposed to do
09:05yeah it's possible
09:06that those teams are bad
09:07but it is a continuation
09:08of all the good teams
09:09they beat leading up to
09:10through june and july
09:12like it's
09:13it's not like
09:13hey look
09:14they won
09:14well they won
09:15five out of six
09:16against bad teams
09:17this is
09:19on a pace to be the second best team in baseball
09:21i think they're the third
09:23best record in baseball
09:25since june 1st
09:26but now it's continued without those guys
09:28so your point has some validity
09:30it does
09:31it could be that these teams are just bad
09:32if a week from now
09:34they're taking care of business
09:36against cleveland and chicago
09:38well then i think we'll have
09:40playoff fever
09:41i think people will be going nuts
09:43about what this group
09:44has been able to do
09:46248-539-9797
09:48gator i'm intrigued to see
09:50your level of
09:50fired up in this
09:51over this
09:53which is coming back
09:55today
