  Speaker 1: And welcome into another episode of Tiger Territory, part of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the Battle Territory Network. He Detroit Tiger's podcast. I'm Kieren
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Steckley with me as always as a man whose sunny
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: disposition shines through even during a rain delay.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: He is Cody Stavining and I.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Do doing good, Karen. I don't know if I'm known
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: for a sunny disposition, but I think my disposition is
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: better than a lot of people around here lately. It's
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: been quite a week. Owen six, Owen six home sin unbelievable.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I would have believed two and four, I would have
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: believe one in five. I don't think I saw Owen
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: six coming. That's hard to do.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It's hard to do. Uh And and what.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'll say is that it's hard to do in some
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of the specific fashions that we saw in Some of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this we alreadycovered earlier in the week, but it is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it does bear repeating because there is some repetitive nature
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to this. Uh, just poor starting pitching. We saw that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Friday where it's like like that's an l right away,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: like you just you just can't come back from that really,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and and then Saturday, so you crumple it up and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you throw it away on Friday, and then Saturday you have,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: like for the second time in this week, you have
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like your like hero moment with with the Spencer Toklsen
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: home run, and just like, you know, we joke about
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Torque being California cool and and you know, through all
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the ups and downs in his career, we don't get
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: moments like that where we see like real emotion from
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Spencer Torkelsen, and we got that and like watching it,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: listening on the radio, being at the game, no matter what,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you felt that And then you know, Benegan gives up
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a home run, You're like all right, And then to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: repeat it again, even though the first time was in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a safe situation, you have will vest not come up
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: big in the moment that it mattered most. And and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: then today like you know, I'm wearing I'm wearing a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Moonshine hat for those that are watching watching on YouTube
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: because that's.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Kind of what I felt.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I felt like, That's what I felt like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: going through is like, you know, going to one of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: those samples and just taking like eight of them real quick,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and and have some bartender make fun of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: me like it's coyote ugly or whatever. So like, I like,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that's what I was in the mood for it. Now
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: since then, I've mellowed a little bit, just because you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Royce Lewis was the guy who was the greatest uh
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, contributor to.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The Tigers uh today. So you still have the one
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: game lead. UH.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That helps a lot. So and you know, just a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: little bit of time, it has come. I had accepted
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the loss for the past couple of hours. U all
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that to say, the mark was there and you and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you miss the mark and now you find yourself fighting
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: for your life, like in every facet of the season
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: going into the week.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: So so that's what That's how I feel.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: We know how the fans feel if you go on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: on on X clubhouse stuff, AJ like, what are we
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: seeing there? I did see the one quote where he
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: like this felt purposeful from AJ where he was like, look,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: we're gonna wake up tomorrow. We're gonna be in first place,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and it's ugly how we got here. I'm paraphrasy, it's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ugly how we got here. But we're gonna wake up
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and we have an opportunity to go to you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: go to somebody's house that work compeding against and and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, put a you know, try to win a division,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: basically get in the postseason. And that felt like a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: good managerial message. But clubhouse stuff in between stuff you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you're there, you're still there right now?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: What can you kind of share with us?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know care And you know, A J. Hinch
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: so's it's not the vibe, it's not the energy, it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: not the care factor. And you know, maybe he's right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I don't empathize with AJ Hinch having to sit in
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: front of the MIC's and answer these questions day after day.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: The Tigers do control their own destiny. You know what
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: else controls their own destiny? The Cleveland Guardians. And you're
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: a couple of days away from not being able to
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: say you control your own destiny anymore. So that's that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a real problem. The clubhouse vibe. I don't know, the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: guys get put on camera in the mic, where are
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: they supposed to say, there's not Nick Cassianos on this team.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Who's gonna say anything crazy? It seems like the vibes
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: been fine post came After losses, it's been real quiet.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It's been more like awkward. I'm just like, it's been
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: put on some music here, even if it's sad music,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: do something. I don't know, It doesn't make you wonder
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: like is this whole like staying together, stay in the course.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Does someone needs to get mad? Do
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: someone need to get pissed off? Because maybe the alternative
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: is like are these dudes ready for vacation? And I'm
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: not saying that, I'm not questioning anyone's competitive character necessarily,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: but at what point, at what point do you start
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to wonder? Because the play has been pretty lifeless Sunday,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: you're two for thirteen with runners in scoring position, at
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: least five strikeouts in those situations, just some really empty
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: at bats. It wasn't like you were, you know, lining
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: out to left field or something. In those situations. They
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: were guys not making adjustments, not playing the game situationally
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: at all. And oddly enough, like at least they had
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: opportunities someday they played better than they have in some
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: of these losses along the way, And I think that
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: kind of leads me to another point, Karen. It's not
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: just that they've been playing bad. He're suddenly in the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: stretch run and Your roster is like a mess. This
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: is the last week of the season. You have Tanner
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Rainey throwing in the major leagues. You have Paul Seawald
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: still looking like he's you know, just now getting up
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and running after coming back from injury. You still have
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Tray Sweeney, who's second half WRC plus is down to one,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: taking a big at bat with two runners on in
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the eighth inning because you don't have another option in
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the organization. Who's the left handed batter other than Kevin
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: McGonagall to come replace him. You have cycled in and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: out all these pictures, and you've used your option cycle.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: And now guess who's not eligible to come up against
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the Guardians who have seven left handed hitters and three
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: switch hitters. You can't bring up Bailey Horn, and you
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: can't bring up your Summers, and you don't have another
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: left handed pitcher on the forty man roster. And so
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: that is concerning Brenan Hannafi. It's been one of your
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: best pitchers all season. Guess what he's back in that
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: option cycle. You're gonna have Tanner Rainey and Paul Sewald
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and Chris Paddock still on the roster when it matters most.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: We can point to the trade deadline, we can point
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to decisions made the past two weeks, but it's been
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: decisions big and small all season that have led the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Tigers to this point. And it's really not pretty.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's not pretty.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And you know, I thought this the past couple of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: days that you mentioned, like you know, the roster and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the shape that it's in, and obviously injuries are part
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of that equation, so we're not this missing it, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it's also part of the equation for everybody's But it's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a thing, but we're not gonna latch onto it. But
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: seeing like you know, Viria Ling, seeing like Reesels and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: seeing you know, when Parker is out seeing Parker, like
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: seeing these.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Guys in the dugout.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And when vibes are good, it's like, hey, they're still
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: part of the team, like you know, blah blah blah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like that's really cool. When vibes are bad, it's like damn,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: like they're like emotionally makes it feel like a bigger
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: mountain to climb when you're like thinking about oldie, you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and now Cole Keith, who is on the ten day
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I l with him, correct me if I'm wrong here, right,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: rib inflammation?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Uh, it like it's an intercostal issue. For whatever that's worth.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You explain what that is for people.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: No, I can pull up WebMD real quick and read
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the same thing you guys will read. It says it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: not noblique, but it's kind of like Ali, it's a
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: little more in the rip cage. Is my understanding? You
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: know how long he's going to be out? He said
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: he felt it on the swing before he hit that double,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: so you know it looks similar. Yeah. Wow, he's struggling
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: to rotate. It hasn't been moving around that well. I
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: guess the hope is it's mild. It seems a little
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: unclear in terms of what to expect if he can
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: come back for the playoffs, which we've spent the last
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: two months talking about can they win the World Series?
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: And now it's like are there going to be playoffs?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And then and then you know, the other source of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: news after Charlie Morton, Just like I say, I say
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: this a lot, is that like with with with with
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: teams with guys with legends. Obviously he's not a Tiger's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: legend or anything like that, but like you know, the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: guy's been a ballplayer for a long time. A lot
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of exits are not Hollywood, and I don't know what
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: his career is, you know, blah blah blah, but you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: forty one years old, he was traded to from a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: non contender to a contender. He has pedigrees, played for
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: AJ like all these things, and to have it end
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like that, it's pretty brutal. And the Tigers, I don't
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: even want to say to their credit, but they're not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: messing around.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: It's like, we just can't.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: We just can't keep doing this because, like you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'm watching that game they're talking about like, you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you can't throw fastball for a strike, and I'm that's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: probably the worst thing you ever want to hear about
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a pitcher, particularly a starter. But it's like, I don't know, dude,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: at certain points, just pitch and catch, like you gotta
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: throw the fastball. You gotta throw the fastball first strike,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, And now the Charlie Morton era, the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: last trade of the trade deadline, I believe period. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: think the guy in there right underneath the alarm bell
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: turns out to be a dud.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sucks, like Charlie Morton's known as one of
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the very best human beings in the game. We here
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: in Detroit only got to know him a little bit.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: But it's just a couple of days before he got DFA.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I talked to him for thirty minutes and it was
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: amazing and lightning and it's for a story that will
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: only run if the Tigers make the playoffs. And now
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it's like doing include this stuff from this guy got
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: DFA because it's really good that he's gone. So that's
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll see how that goes. But great human
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: being and has had a great eighteen years in the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: big leagues. Man, he should be proud of that. Unfortunately,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: those who only saw him, you know, in this time
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: with the Tigers, well, the lasting image will probably be
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Sunday just getting beat around, walking off the field with
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: his head down. I kind of thought they were gonna
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: hold on to him in DFA Chris Paddock though, just
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: because Morton he's pitched out of the pin before for
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: AJ like he has this kind of outlier curveball, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I thought there was a real chance they would move
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: him to that role hope that he could find something
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: and maybe be useful for you in this now hypothetical postseason.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I asked aj Hinch about that, and he's like, the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: command basically, the command was too big of a question mark,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: you know, if you weren't sure he'd find the strike
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: zone with any of his stuff at this point in
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: the calendar, it wasn't worth it. So Morton's out, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I I'm just the one saying Paddock would have been
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: the other option. Paddick gets to stay for at least
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a little bit longer here. I yeah, I don't know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: For as much as the we talked about the mess
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: that is, this roster probably best the Tigers moved on
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: from Charlie Morton, but it's a little strange. You don't
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: have a better option than Tayner Rainey, who was not
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: really on my radar. He's got good stuff. He throws hard,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: has missed a lot of bats in his career. He
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: also has an ERA over five in his major league career,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: and his first appearance with the Tigers, he threw sixteen pitches.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Eleven of them were balls. To the point I'm like, eh,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: they've rather just have Charlie Morton's nice curve balls, Like,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: That's tough.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: We'll do a brief recap of the trade deadline acquisitions
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: because everything's under a microscope when you get to this
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: situation that the Tigers.
• 11:53

• 12:58
  Speaker 1: All right, with the Charlie Mordan era coming to an end,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: just a brief re cap on on the additions that
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the Tigers made the trade deadline, So Charlie Morton exits
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: with his time in Detroit sporting a seven point nine
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: e r A. Raphael Montero might be the I mean,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: might I mean it might be the best of the bunch.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Probably not, but he has certainly been one of the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: more surprising elements. He has a three point one zero
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: e r A a point three war player with the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Tigers if and again we know what he's done pre injury,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: but you know he also threw a splitter middle of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the plate, and you know caused that situation on Saturday
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to be uh to be a lot more tight.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: And then I told someone it's almost like he pitched
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: too good for you before that injury and kind of
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: has nowhere to go to put down you know, sure.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a lot of averages there for sure,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Paddock. You mentioned six point one two e r
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: A Cody Hewer here, Oh year.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: UH got three point one endings out of him and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: he gave up two runs and then the sea walled
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: experience it is playing out, although not like the early
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: returns or the most promising. So so that's your that's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: your recap of the trade deadline when you were trying
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to acquire as many assets as you could to stave off,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you know, the tier ration of the pitching, and what
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: happened was the pitching ended up DETERI rating even more.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And you've already gotten rid of two of those guys
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: on the on the roster.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: So.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Let's let's go. Let's stick with pitching for a second.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Then I want to get to the on base stuff.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: But real quick here, and I do want I mentioned
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: this earlier, but Scott Harris is getting killed for the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: trade deadline this week, and for the most part rightfully so,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: knowing this front office and how they think, I'm sure
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: they would point to a bunch of other deals around
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the league that didn't work out. Suarez hasn't been good
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: in Seattle healthily, hasn't been good with the that Deron
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: was probably not someone they could realistically get. You can
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: pick and choose other guys, but David Bednar has been
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: has been pretty good, and you know you can do
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: that game. What position player did you actually want outside score?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: As I had said on Willie Castro, and he hasn't
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: been good for the Cobs. So that's probably what their
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: defense would be, and in some way that's why their
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: strategy was what it was. Let's just go get a
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: bunch of guys and hope some of them stick. Obviously
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: didn't work. Obviously, you're paid to make those decisions and
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: get those rights. So I don't really think that's like
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: a great defense, but it is somewhat of a defense.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I would say the trade deadline mattered so much because
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: you missed one other guys. You missed one John Brebia
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: and Alex Cobb, and you know you're supposed to be
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: so great at developing pitching, and you haven't really hit
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: gold on any of those under heralded guys. Your waiver
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: claims haven't worked out. You're there. Bit so the trade
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: deadline was bad, but the trade deadline is a little
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: finicky by nature. To the Tiger's point, You've made a
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: lot of other bad decisions all year though, and that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: why you're getting killed for the deadline because of other
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: things that went.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the Yeah, it's one of those
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: things where it's like how you got there. Uh definitely
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: plays into like, you know, why you find yourself in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that situation. So, uh so, yeah, that's a that's a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: fair it's it's all fair. Like I don't even consider that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: A defense of Scott Harris or the administration. That's it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I just think it's like it is in the context
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for the rest of the league. You're still paid to
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: get it right though.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it is what it is. Thing.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And you know, and and right now you got to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: go with the horses that you got. So with with pitching,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the Tigers did alter I mean, we're gonna see this
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: right away. In Cleveland, they altered their pitching rotation a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: little bit they're bringing school in to pitch Tuesday again
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: at Cleveland, and then it's going to be uh Jack Flaherty.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So you talk about, you know, that's what the money's for,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I know, schoo bul Is, you know, not like pay paid,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: but like you know, Flair, that's what the money's for.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And then we have a TBD.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Well have we not even talked about this yet? Karen?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: It's all you have three starting pitchers. That's all they have.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: As importantly, it's not only you don't have a fit starter.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: You don't have a fourth starter. Ye And I guess
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: they kind of got by with that last year, but
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the year has proven that that is a very hard
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and very dangerous thing to do. And so now, in
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: addition to all the other roster scenarios we've talked about,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: you have a TBA and what could define your season
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: against the Cleveland Guardians. Cater Montero, We'll see how that
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: series goes, most likely going to be the guy to
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: get the ball. Worth noting they are moving up Trek
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Scooble basically could line him up to pitch against Boston
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: with the season on the line. If need be, you
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: could dive into a million scenarios there where let's say
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: that's a must win game and then you don't have
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: them to start game one of the wild Card. You know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: don't love how that could go. So anyway, no, cater
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Montero is probably going to start Game three against the
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Guardians or maybe they opened for him, but he'll pitch
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: in a big role. Kder's done some nice things. You know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: also get some modes where you just can't command the
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: ball and can't throw strikes and and that's usually what
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: dictates how the ovings go for him.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, and I'm glad that we're transitioning this way
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because it's a hut. Like the how you got here
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: piece of it is that you haven't been able or
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he hasn't done it, you know, give you know, got
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to give these guys their own responsibility. Have not been
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: able to develop from from what we saw last last season.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So like so like there there was like Montero, I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: think in spring training, like Aj said andels like it
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was really hard to tell him that, like he didn't
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: make the team because like he was so important last
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: year in twenty four and then you know, how to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: find enough spring training and all that stuff.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And but everyone new.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, well they're gonna rely on them, and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you know, theories should be okay.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Not really like.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I can't can't say that that's a brimming with confidence
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to throw Montero out there in a.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Game that you know you would hope like what you're like.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: There's some hope, but it's like that could decide the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: series and like, you know, you know, have like either way,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it's gonna have ramifications.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: So like so that's another piece too.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: If we're going to talk about front office failures or
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: coaching staff failures, it's not like did they hold on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to their prospects too long or too you know, too close.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: At the trade deadline.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: It's that you didn't advance these guys this season that
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: could that that you knew were going to have impacts
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: on you, you know, in the in the twenty twenty
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: five seasons. So that's that's as big a deal, probably
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: bigger deal actually than what they gave up or didn't
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: give up at the trade deadline.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Tommy Kinley, I just want to make note of this
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: because I'm I'm tracking all of the prove it moments.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Tommy Kinley for the record, he's only given up two
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: runs since August fifteenth.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, tell me he deserves some credit for getting back
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: to being at least usable. Not all those outings have
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: really met the eye test, but lately he's been a
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: little better and he deserves credit for that. Flip side,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Are we worried about will Vest because this is one
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: of the things I've been harp I've been harping on
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Entering his last outing where he gave
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: up four hits, opponents were hitting his fastball to the
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: tune of a three to eighty seven average since August first,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: we've talked about the VLO being down. The VLO is
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: even a tick up in that outing, and he's still
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: got hit around. He's not missing bats, particularly with the fastball.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: So talking about needing a back end reliever. If will
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: West doesn't get it together, that could be killer. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: you're very lucky that Tommy Kinley is at least, you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: getting guys out. Yeah.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Also, of note, with the best conundrum I guess we
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: can call it right now, is that we know that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: AJ does not always use like his best guy for
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the ninth So like we saw a finn again and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know who he uses number one in his
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: mind or whatever, but we saw Finn again. He gives
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: up the home run and then Vest obviously you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: ends up, you know, giving up, giving up the lead period.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: So if you're not confident in Vest, that means you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: can't throw him out there in the eighth inning to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: get you to the ninth inning, right, so.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: That you can, you just might not feel good about it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what I mean.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Is that, like it's about time for Rafael Montero probably
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: to start getting more of those looks. That's a hard decision.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Manager's left. Yeah, the guy who's got you here or
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: the guy who's been a little bit better lately. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Montero gave up a homer in in
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Miami that cost you a game though.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Again, what I say, it's like how much can you stomach?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: How much can you really stomach? And that's gonna be
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be the theme of this next week. All right,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: we are going to take a quick break and then
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we will get to what was some parts encouraging in
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: some parts demoralizing from Sunday and how that could play
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: itself out this week.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So, but first a word from our sponsors.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: When you think Fair Harbor, you should think soft. You
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: should think buttery liner. But it's not just the bathing suits,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: are the shorts, it's also sweatshirts like the one that
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I'm wearing right now, Kratz. It is stupid soft.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: It's ridiculous that a shirt that can one keep you warm,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: two be so soft, and three so lightweight, like the
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: collar everything. You don't even feel like you actually have
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: a hoodie on, but you do.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: It is a lightweight hoodie and it feels incredible. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: you should go get one yourself. Also for bathing suits,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: for shorts, for whatever clothes that you're interested in where
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: you want to basically feel like you're not wearing them
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: but you are. That's what Fair Harbor can bring to
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: the table. So head to Fairharbor Clothing dot com, slash
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: foul twenty and use code foul twenty for twenty percent
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: off your order. That's Fair Harbor h A R B
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: O R Clothing dot com. Backslash foul twenty for twenty
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: percent off your order and make sure you use that
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: promo code foul twenty.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: All right, coming back here, I just want to we
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: probably haven't given this enough attention yet, Cody, But there's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: just so many other things that you know, popping through,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: popping through our minds. The Tigers in the in the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: in their past ten games coming into Sunday, we're batting
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: one ninety with runners in scoring position, one nine zero
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: not great.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Uh So I was like, all.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Right, well, you had some some ducks on the pond.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Let's kind of just do a quick tally. So I'm
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: just gonna name some bats with runners in scoring position
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and sometimes with multiple runners on base. We have a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: care Carpenter flyout. We have a Riley Green strikeout. We
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: have a Spredatorkalson strikeout. We have a McKinstry strikeout. We
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: have a Hobbyer Bias five four to three double play.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: We have another Torque strikeout. This is in the fifth inning.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Then McKinstry walks. So the okay, you got on bass,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: but that's followed by the whole all right, bring up
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: our lefty killers and Andy Banya strikes out, and uh
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and Jamai Jones fouls out. And then you mentioned tray
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Sweeney earlier. Tray Sweeney found first pitch, first pitch, first pitch,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: foul out.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: So you know, we had the best approach of all
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: those people and all those at bats I think is
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Hobby bias? I mean bya is by the way, who
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I get think guy to get all credit for getting
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: him in the lineup three days in a row. It
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: really worked out. But he almost made a Hobby play
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: on that Akunya tag that didn't go down as an out,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: so it doesn't matter. But anyway, it wasn't any worse
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: than Tray Sweeney. Uh BIA's got up three to zero
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: swung three to zero, which I have no problem with,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: especially for Hobby by its Honestly, you know the pitcher's
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: got to come in the strike zone. Do you foul
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: off a high fastball or missed a fastball? And then
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: he did chase below the zone on three wine, but
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: it was a breaking ball that was over the plate low,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: He had it hard, it was just on the ground
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: into a double play. Oddly enough, I saw a lot
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: of bad at bats with earners in scoring position today.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't necessarily fault Hobby's approach at the play.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It like this offense had no life for a lot
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of this week, and you have to say with getting
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: that many runners again, that many runners in scoring position.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: That is life, you know what I mean, Like like
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: you had life, but you.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Just up until the ninth when the game's basically over,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you hadn't been able to play at anybody. So there's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: parts of that where it's like some approach aspects, some
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: coaching points aspects was working, but when it matters most
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: in these leverage situations that were increasingly becoming higher al
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: tentative to when we try to classify Clutch and all
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: those things, uh, they failed. Like and by the way,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: like we talked about rider dies earlier in the week,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the people that were high end
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: of our little Rider Die draft, you know, Garrett Carpenter,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Riley Green, All Star, Torglsen thirty home runs he you
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: know Green or Torquing Carpenter obviously Clutch earlier in the week,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Uh McKinstry all Star bye, as you mentioned all Star, Uh,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you know, like and then then and then the two
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: LEFTI killers didn't really give you anything. So it's like
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you're these potential hero situations that you could have shoved
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: as a series gained another game on the magic number,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and they just fell flat. And like you said, a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: lot of non competitive at bets, a lot of not
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: like they looked completely unprepared for off speed from.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Uh striders three in a row and Turk, who actually
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: had a pretty nice week, you know, miss three sliders
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: in a Roadja, my Jones got four pitches in the
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: heart of the plate and fouled the cup off and
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: then fouled out. I'm not here how to tell anyone
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: how to hit a major league slider, but you look
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: at some of these at bats and they were bad.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Riley Green, Hey, he at least put the ball in
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: play a few times, hit one ball hard on Sunday.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: But a brutal week for Riley Green. That's the guy.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: You gotta have, uh in a mode where he's not
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: you know, extreme strikeout Riley you get you know, and
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: A J. Hinch says, hey, when he gets going, someone's
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: gonna pay for it. And he's not wrong. We've seen
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: it with Riley too much all season. Hey, final six
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: games this series need driv the Green to at least
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: be touching the baseball.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: You like you mentioned like the guy to Habs like
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you got it, like all these guys we just mentioned,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and you throw in uh, you know, schoolble Obviously, you
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: gotta have school no matter what. Flarity gotta have flarity
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: who who oddly enough is a lot better against teams
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: above five hundred. So if that's drank contain, you hope
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that you put yourself in a position to win. But
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like all the gotta have it guys on Sunday flumped
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: all right. And it's a shame that we're talking about
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it like this when Cary Carpenter was hero status for
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a brief moment earlier this week, and Spencer with Torgelsen
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: was hero status for a brief moment this week and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it all got wiped away. And and it doesn't matter
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: because now you go into the last week, you got
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: six games, and you have a one game lead on
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: your division, and that wildcard is messy, so you don't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: want to get get in there either.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: So things are, things are tight. Things are things are tight.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: It's wild. I've never seen anything like this. It would be,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I think the worst collapse in Major League history. I
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: think in any sport I've covered, I've it's about as
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: tenths as anything I've experienced. It's not been a good environment.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: It's not been a particularly fun week at Camerica Park,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: as anyone listening to this truly understands, Like.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Well, what do you expect? What do you expect?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily like results wise, but like when you go
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to Cleveland and you're in you know, aj beforehand, in
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse and school bawl and like all that stuff,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: because it's you know, you're not gonna be in friendly
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: confines anymore. There their twenty twenty five life is on
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the line more than it has been in any situation
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Like what do you what do you expect to see?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: What do you expect to see?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. There's a part of me,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: part of my gut, that tells me they're just done,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: like because it's felt like that. I've also watched a
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: lot of baseball, and I think over the past calendar
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: year of the Detroit Tigers has really taught me to
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: ever stop expecting I know what's going to happen, because
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: it's been some ridiculous highs and ridiculous lows. You know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: it's an interesting test of leadership for a J Hench
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: who preaches steadiness, you know, who's not the guy to
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: flip the spread post game and throw a tirade and
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: doesn't see a lot of value in that, and I
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: generally agree with that approach. But again, and at a
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: time like this, well it's going to get a rise
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: out of a team, I don't know if that's not
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: authentic to who he is. I'm not saying he should
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: necessarily go act like that, but it's an interesting like
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: where's it coming from, and where's the where's the leadership
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: coming from? Outside the manager's chair, you know, kind of
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: looked around the clubhouse and it's like, well, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: we talked about how great labor's been, like like like,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: does this team really have leaders especially amongst the position
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: playing group, but still a lot of really young guys,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: guys just trying to hang on in the major leagues.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Like there are guys who are important to the franchise,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. Sometimes leadership can be for show,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: it can be eyewash. But Daniello Crown, it's like, well,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: they don't. They don't have an Alex Bregman, they don't
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: have anyone like that. They just don't.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: The The reality of the situation is that how this
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: next week plays out will be individually obviously collectively as
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five team but individually will be a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: legacy chapter, if not legacy defining. And the thing is, dude,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: if you insert expletive word here the bed this week,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: you don't get to play tomorrow. Metaphorically, you gotta sit
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: on that until February. It's a long time and then
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: how are you gonna respond then?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if AJ's got to get them, you know,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: win one for the GIP or speech. But I think, a, A, hey,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity. But also sense of urgency
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: combination kind of seems.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Like to play.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: So there there's a part of me that's like, you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: but there's also a part of me it's like, you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: know what, this is why you love sports. You have
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to watch this and see what happens because you don't

  Speaker 1: see what my moonshine intake.

• 32:11
  Speaker 3: it into a great story all over again.
• 32:13

• 32:16
