Instant Reaction: Tigs Face Elimination After Tuesday Blowout · Tiger Territory: A Detroit Tigers Podcast

  Speaker 1: Look into another episode of Walk one. I'm Kieran Steckley
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: with me as always a man who may sing in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the rain, but he doesn't sing during a rain delay.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: He is Cody Stavin Egg and how you doing.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm doing right.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: They're trying to put some karaoke up on the scoreboard.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't think it really hit with the
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: crowd all the way. Well, I was expecting a better
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: environment because you had three hours kiaring of extra beer sales.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I thought the people were gonna be kind of lit.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And maybe they were already asleep. I don't know, because
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: after the Tiger got down a couple of runs CDs,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the crowd was kind of quiet, just gonna be honest.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Well, here here's the thing, and uh, obviously we're recording
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: this after the game. Cody's still in the press box
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: at k America Park or the maybe one of the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: last times we can refer to it as k America Park.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But that's a topic for a different day. You guys
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: know what happened. It was an eight to four loss.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: To see how the Tigers are now down two to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: one and the best of five, so their backs are
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: against the wall. We'll get to, you know, some mechanics
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of the game here in a second. Overall vibes watching
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I did watch obviously on TV and then like listen
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to Dan on the radio, so I tried to kind
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of get you know, both sides of it there. It
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: just felt a little lifeless. Like overall, like the performance
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: felt lifeless. The crowd didn't have as you know, didn't
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: have like kind of momentum asque plays a lot to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: get behind, and then just combined the fact that this
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: started with a three hour rain delay. I'm not assessing
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: any blame here, I'm not crowdshaming here. Overall just was
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: kind of a lifeless performance, I would say by pretty
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: much everybody that was sporting the old English d or
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: wear an orange or white and navy. It's really just
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Seattle people that had life. That was kind of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: my vibe right there. So you were there, you encountered
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it all year there the whole day, and then so
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: vibes with that, Cody, and then also vibes with like
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: what the team was like afterward, because now they're backs
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: against the wall. It's all in the line.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe the original sin was having an orange out when
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: not that many people own orange Tigers gear. Everyone got
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the blue, clearly a ploy to sell a little extra
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: merch here in October.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Kind of think that was some bs, But the word.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Disappointing is what comes to mind for me. This was
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a disappointing game by the Tigers. We've seen some tough games,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: ugly games, a lot of games where you know, the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: guys were saying after it, hey, we just didn't get
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that break, we just didn't get that hit, things didn't
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: go our way. We're still a good team, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And there were games where they were maybe outplayed or
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: just got beat in the competition. Tonight, I felt like
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the Tigers largely beat themselves more than they have in
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: most games along what's been a tough finish to this season,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: far more than their other playoff losses so far that
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: were mostly well played games. Tonight wasn't that well played
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a game. You had two errors, you had a lot
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: of empty at bats. You look up at the scoreboard
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and you'd say you used or you actually scored four runs,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: but it was against a non leverage reliever in a
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: late inning. You were kind of out of that game
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: until the ninth inning completely.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: The crowd was sucked out of it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: There were just a lot of mistakes that didn't seem
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: like there was a competitive like vibe. Jack Flaherty made
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of mistakes, you know, pitches he's just didn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: execute on the mound. I feel like the Tigers completely
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: beat themselves and facing a team like the Mariners that
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: has some power it ters, that has a little more
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: top end talent, you just can't do that, and that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: supposed to be destroyed strength making you earn everything. They
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: did not do that in Game three, and as a result,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: they're on the brink of elimination again.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The phrase give an inch, take a mile, like you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: give Seattle an inch and and and they take a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: mile and and it's not all at the same time either,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Like you get the Crawford home run and Riley gets
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: going there late. You know, it's just like like debilitating
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: act after debilitating act. And and I guess one of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the things that I wanted to ask you, Cody, was like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: when did this game become an L I think, like
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to me, to me, this game became an L with
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you know, after the Roblez double, which I don't think
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was a bad pitch by Flirty, it was right. It
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was right on, right on the black. And you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he made a nice little, nice.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Little two counts a bad pitch.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair, but just some clarity.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: In the regular season, opponents had a six three ops
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: against him and O two counts.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: The league average is four fifty three. So he has been.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Bad in O two counts all year long, or at
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: this is after two. Letting hitters back in two strike
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: counts has been a problem of his. And two there's
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: a curveball at your belt, come on, you know, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: he admits it. He said, I that whole inning would
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: be different. I want that pitch back, you know. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: mean he knows, he knows it was not the pitch
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: he wanted him too, all right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But then after that, Crawford hits a single to left, like.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: A a little better pitch, but kttle more plate than
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: he would have liked.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, little a little bit plate. Uh there, but run
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of the mill single knocking Roblets is not running on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: this play because he had to make sure he had
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to see it down. Basically, Riley Green throws it into
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I guess we can safely say the infield is not
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: cut off by McKinstry. And it and it trickles the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Dingler who lets it go between his legs and into
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: behind home plate. Jack flairdy actually makes it really athletic
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: play to make it close at home. So give him
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: credit there. And you know, just a little bit quicker
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: like sequence, nobody's fault on that particular part and and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: roblet out. But like bottom line is that kind of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: breaks the damn open. Riley Green accessed an air a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: throwing error on that play. TV copy aj Perzinski and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Adam Wainwright asked why McKinstry did not cut that ball off.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Dan Dickerson on the radio was insistent that that should
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: not have been an E seven. So you, Cody, being
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the master of all things baseball, what it was your
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: assessment of I guess kind of fault on that play?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I think both Riley Green and Dylan Dingler really
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: messed up. I think Dingler had well within his capability
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to stop the ball. But if I were scoring that game,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I would probably go eat seven because it just was.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: It was a ball that skipped twice and it wasn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: a throw that was online. If you for some reason
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: doubt that it was a good throw, look, no, further
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: than the only person who really did their job right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: which was Jack Flaherty. Look at where he was lined up.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: He was lined up on the right side of home plate,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: thinking it was going to be an online throw.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: That's where he was.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: The ball skips its way left when it gets past Gingler,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Flairty has to run to the other side of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: play get it and at least gave the Tigers a chance.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I thought Riley aj Hinch for the Record, said Riley
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: made the correct throw. I'm not sure. Maybe he didn't.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Just sending the ball home. I thought Riley rushed it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I thought he skipped it. He kind of threw it
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: like a cutter. It just wasn't a competitive throw from
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Riley Green in my opinion. The McKinstry aspect is interesting.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know as an infield guy myself, I did
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: not think he should have cut off that ball, or
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: maybe more accurately, I don't know if he could have
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: actually cut off that ball. Although you stop and you look,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he was close to it, but he's moving toward the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: mound and that ball is going toward the third base
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: side of the field. Talking to mckinsrey after the game,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: he said that's not my job. I'm there's the target,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: he said. I've been chewed out before for stopping that ball.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Unless I see that runner at first going to second,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: it's not my job to touch it. It was online
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: was going to the plate. It was too ding so
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: aj Hinson fault. McKinstry. Mckinstrey said, that's not how they
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: teach that play. I tend to decide with McKinstry and
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: then Dingler. You know, he was the guy who probably
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: wore at the hardest he was as locker. There's no
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: real explaining it said. It has to be caught, you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: should have been caught. You know, no excuse for it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: This is one of the best blocking catchers in baseball.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: This is a young athletic catcher. I don't don't know
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: if he took his eye off it, don't know what
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: it was. It wasn't a great hop to him, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: certainly a ball he was capable of stopping. So, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's a bath throw from Riley Green. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: think it was a total misplay from Dylan. Dingler scores
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: one run. It allows JP Crawford to get to second
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: another single boom, You're down two to oh and although
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: the Tigers technically score four after that two oh or
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: maybe after the swoar as Homer to make a three
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: to zero, I think that's when the crowd really went silent.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It kind of felt like this game was lost.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So all quote, two people irish back greatly, one being
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned Dan Dickerson, who said that that play can
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be stopped by Dingler with ordinary effort, So so he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: disagreed with the E seven on that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: And then it's a bad throw, all right, go ahead.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And then Austin Jackson has said multiple times on this
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: podcast that you know, as an outfitler, it's like, I'm
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: gonna get that throw in, but you've got to be
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: able to stop it and make an athletic play if
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: needed to stop the ball. And in theory, if mckissry
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: did the right thing, I'll take everybody's word on that,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: but in theory he was capable, in my opinion, of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: stopping of cutting that ball off. I don't see the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: need to let that go through. And then also Dingler
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is certainly capable of stopping that ball. So I'm I'm
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: gonna take up for the outfield, You're gonna take up
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: for the infield, and that is a okay, it is
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: worth mentioning. In addition to you know, Flaherty, for all
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: his faults, he did buckle down to close that ending out.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He got a couple of strikeouts and then and then
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you know, a deep flyball, but a flyball nonetheless for
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a third out. So you were still in the game.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But you're right, it did feel like the energy was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: sucked out. All right, We're gonna take a quick break,
• 10:07

• 11:21
  Speaker 1: let's dive a little bit more into uh into Flarity Cody,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: because it was a little bit of a thing to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: kind of flip just based on the previous series to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: get Flarity. And I actually got a text from one
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of my baseball but he's not a Tigers fan, but
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: let's just say he's a casino inclined so he follows
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff, and he was like, wrong move,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Flarity's too volatile. You gotta go with Casey miz And
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and my and my response to to that was, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: we obviously all understand what Jack Flarerty has been this year,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: but the bottom line is six to one hand half
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: dozen the other end. A lot of aspects, but we
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: gotta score runs. The Tigers up until the last second
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: one or less didn't score runs. But Flarity goes three
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: point one four hits, three earned, six k's and and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: three walks. So so what what what what do you
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: kind of make of like flarity? And then how was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: he kind of after with this game? Yeah? Last time
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: made last time this season we.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Get the last time. I don't I don't really know.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: You know, for a second, I thought this stuff was okay.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: He actually came out missing some batskin whole swing and miss.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Mariners actually can be prone to that, but a lot
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: of a lot of balls over the heart of the plate.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Man just didn't seem like his command was was that fine?
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: He was good after the game, clearly disappointed but able
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: to kind of explain it and talked about the pitches
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: he didn't execute the once he wants back. I don't
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: know that there's a lot to say, and unfortunately is
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of what we have seen from Jack Flaherty
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: all season long.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, you know, to be honest, he also got
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: away with a couple of pitches too, So it like
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to even when he was getting behind
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: accounts he was he was he was either missing really
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: wide or throwing it right in the zone. And there
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: was a little bit of a poetic a poetic nature
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to the fact that you know, Suorez hits hits a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: home run there, and and and you know you bring
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Tommy Kinley in after that, and it's all kind of
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it's it all kind of rolls in there, Karen.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: There was another example though, the Mariners doing damage on
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: damage pitches and the Tigers not.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I thought the key to beating Logan Gilbert was gonna
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: be laying off the slider and not chasing it's on.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: They chase lost player.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: But he was stealing early count strikes with a slider,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: like four or five that were just middle and so
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: maybe you're seeing spin and just eliminating it. But after
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: that happens once or twice, Man, I don't know. There
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: were some cookies they did nothing with. Riley Green took
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: a ball down the middle. Chase chase, you're out of there.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Spencer Torkelsen got a fastball that was right down Broadway
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and he fouled it off. Took a ball, chase chase
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: you're done. There were a lot out of at bats
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: like that, so there was still a lot of chase.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: There was some We've seen this a lot in these playoffs.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: There were balls down the middle that were just auto takes,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and then there were balls down the middle that were
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: either fouled off or just not not lifted. You didn't
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: really do anything with it. It's hard to do at
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: this level. It's hard to do against a really good
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: picture like Logan Gilbert. But you know, Tigers hitters and
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: even AJ have kind of been doing the hat tip thing. Well, like, hey,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: we're facing really good pictures. That's a that's a great argument,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: but this is the playoffs. The goal is to beat
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: really good pictures.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: With your supposedly really good hitters.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Right, and so yeah, continues to be a problem. They
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: only struck out I think nine times so kept at
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: single digits against Gilbert. Hey, I guess you'll actually take that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Well, what's funny is I thought? I mean, it felt
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it felt like they like the beginning of the game. Again,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we've another thing. We've said it for a lot. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: felt like they were attacking, and they did have a
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I would say like a decent amount of hard contact
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to begin with. And then it's like once those didn't
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: find the hole or once those didn't drop like it
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like it's like the like either game plan abandoned or
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Gilbert adjusted, you know, tip your cat thing a little bit,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and and and and that's where the life kind of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you know came out, came out of the bats. And
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: which is what's funny is that this was a lineup
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: constructed by AJ to kind of bring more life, you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: putting Carr Carpenter lead off, having Cult bat third, which
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I you know, I like, I'm in favor of. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: thought that was a nice move. And if anything else,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the fact that he said it early in the day
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: kind of made it seem like, is this kind of
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: like a mind game thing? Uh? I guess Carrie gets
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: credited with running batting a run in, but uh didn't
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: really come to fruition like and in any capacity because
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, you know that's a runner on first
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and third, you know, you carry Carpenter at bat. You
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: one could argue that that lineup construction worked to like
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the situation, care just didn't didn't get get a ball
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in the outfield.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: So that was actually uh, regally Seattle's Loane mistake was
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: JP Crawford making a poor throw. They didn't complete the
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: double play on that ball, or otherwise I would have
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: been no Rott, no RBI.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and again like the uh, the like sense
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of urgency felt I felt like, not a set of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: desperation because it was a one to one, you know, series,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: but but a sense of urgency I felt pretty again
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: like being aggressive at the play, a j challenging literally
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the first the first like play of the game which
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was not a gimme challenge. I'm actually surprised they went
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: with call confirmed on that one. H But but again
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it's like once it's like crack, crack, crack, and then
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: just kind of after that so so yeah, I mean,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: but at least at least Mickey throughout the first pitch
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that was kind of cool and again energy at the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: beginning of the.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Game, the best play of the game. Mickey came out
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: and fired at strike baby. I see if he's got
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: to be more abs left, I.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Know, or maybe just come out and throw something at
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the beginning of every bottom half of the ending to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: try to get a little bit of juice. Maybe that's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: what he's good for, all right.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: The Tigers are oddly enough for what three of five
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: with runners in scoring positions, so a little better performance there,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: but we didn't see.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of opportunities.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: I think at one point in the game eleven straight
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: hitters retired.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: That's where the sleepiness factor really came.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: In, right exactly. And we'll talk about like a little
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: bit of a a wokening moment there in the bottom
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: of knife and at bottom of the ninth and what's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that worth? Probably not a lot, but we'll talk about it.
• 17:41

• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about juice, if you want to talk about uh,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you know a little bit of live uh life from
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the crowd. It did exist a little bit there in
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the night. Jake Rogers comes up and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: pinch he gets a single Jamai Jones pin Chits gets
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a you know, gets a walk, Torque doubles them in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: eerily similar to his to his game two uh single,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and y Banya singles him in, and then you know
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that that's about that. That's about it from there. Uh.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It's funny listening to a j. Perzinski and Adam wayn Wright.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They're talking about like the importance of the you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: obviously two foreign players. They're talking about the importance of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: just kind of seeing hits fall and stringing together some
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: at best and just kind of feeling a little bit
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: alive at the end of the game that you know,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: chances are you're not gonna you're not gonna win. Obviously
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they didn't having having to bring in another picture, you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: one of their key guys like, you know, what is
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that worth that he gets worked, you know, has to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: go warm up and get work again. Uh. And then
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the end of the Yankees Blue Jays game
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and John Smoltz is talking about the same thing with
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the blue Jays, who were you know, they're only down
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: three runs, but the the writing was kind of on
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the wall for the back half of that game that
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: there was gonna be a game four. So uh, those
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: are three four players on two different broadcasts talking about
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: essentially consolation prizes in a game that's lost, and whether
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you know whether there's some intangible importance there. I'm a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: big believer that at bats are at bats, you know
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it's important to kind of like
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: go go through your sequences and buying success, but I'm
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: not going to overrate them. So what do you think
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: about like just like having just like like a little
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: bit of life there at the end of game three.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Well, there there are no moral victories, especially not in
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, but you are playing a full series. I
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: think it's no tiny thing that they had to bring
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: in on Muneios. Again, he's pitched in every game of
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: this series. There's no offday. He's going to go back
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: to back if he pitches in game four. So I
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: think that's a good thing. You get another look at Mimeos,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: you get a little extra usage. We saw, you know
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: that worked in the Tigers favor against Hunter Gaddis in
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the in the Guardians series. So if there's anything to
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: take away from it, I think it's that I'm not
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: even sure that I buy this string hits together, because
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: unfortunately it was guys who aren't gonna be playing in
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: game four at least not starting. Uh, maybe that's key.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe Jake Rodgers needs being there for four. Maybe don't
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: let Jake Rodgers get hot. I don't know, but no,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's good that. Look they made Seattle use
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: its closer. If you're gonna take anything out of it
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: in a five game series, that's that's not nothing. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: let me tell you what disappointing game they hit in
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: game two, Laden Egg Basically in game three, I think they're.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Gonna win tomorrow just because they like to make my
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: life hard.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: So they're gonna be getting that plane and go back
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to Seattle, and then then you got Scoople so bad
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: as this one was.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: If they can.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Get in another another kind of a little cage fight
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: in game four, win a low scoring game, I.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Think they have a chance.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be a lot of pressure on Casey Miz
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to keep that game low scoring, especially early though. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: think I think the Miz the first three four innings
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: of Casey Mize might determine how it came.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Four goes Yeah, I mean I was literally about to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: ask your expectations for game four, but that kind of
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: answers it. It did it does Like this is obviously
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the first time they've actually actually actually actually had their
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: backs against the wall. And there is a little bit
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of a metal test that we're gonna see on Wednesday.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And again quick turnaround, that game is at three o'clock,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: so like you know, go to bed, wake up, and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: get to get to the ballpark and get your stuff together.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So like, like what do you show? Because if you
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: show what you showed today and you have uncharacteristic play,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: we didn't get to the fact that because I guess
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it didn't matter in the grand scheme that Carpenter just
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: like blatantly misplayed a fly ball, that something that low
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: key was a little bit nervous about the entire time
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that he's you know, strictly in right field. But like,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: are you gonna play characteristic Tigers baseball right because if
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: you do, then you can have a game like you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: had on in Game one and even Game two, even
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: though he came up short. But this this was by
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: far there. I think this was the worst showing than
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: than Game two against Cleveland, Like like like like you
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: if you play out of character, I think that's more
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: defining than just losing the game. Like when your back's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: actually against the wall. So that's what I'm looking to see.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I'm looking to see playing in character and give me
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: yourself a shot at it and and see what happens.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So like, this is the worst picture you faced this
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: whole series, So get it done.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I think you're going back to Seattle.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: And then and then it's a school bull day and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you never know what happens, and and if if if, if,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: if it means anything, I get to get out of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: an event with my wife and her girlfriends that I'm
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: not too keen about going to if they win, because
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it's Friday night. You know, I don't want to do
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: like a group plot session. So if I if they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: could win tomorrow and they gotta win, gotta wait, gotta win.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Help your boy out, Help your boy out?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Now a lot?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Where are we? H? I think that's about all I got.
