And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the

Big 1050.com.

So, IRA, you and I had a conversation a few weeks back.

It's a couple weeks back now when Terrick Scoobo went down with meeting the surgery.

Two weeks to the day.

Two weeks to the day.

And the conversation was, hey, how would it look if the tigers weren't even anywhere remotely

in contention anymore when it was time for him to come back?

That was when the thought process was, hey, he could be out three months, right?

Well, we got to the point where we, two things that we, hey, he could be out three months, right? Well, we got to the point where we, two things that we concluded from our conversation

was that there was a, there was a clear, there would be a clear desire to get back to show

from, for financial reasons that he's back.

He's, he, he's deserving of that $500 million deal that that Boris is probably out there seeking.

Right. But then came the word that guess what?

He's not going to be out as long that he could be back early next month, a much faster timeline based on what they called the scubal scope, where it was as, you know, as far as invasiveness of a procedure, this is probably about the least invasive this could have possibly been.

They talked about it being akin to a couple of needle sticks where they were able to do the surgery through a couple of punctures, which is it relieves it relieves him of such trauma, uh, relieves him

having to sit out so long, uh, enhances, uh, his, his recovery timeline. I, he now he is on

track, uh, to come back where the tigers, when you looked at it when he went down, they

were in first place. So surely, this parody-written division and the East, for that matter, you know,

kind of looking like, hey, man, you know, you could be mediocre and still be pretty good.

As far as the standings I'm concerned, well, Ira, all they've done since Terrick's school went down was, what, go like 2 and 11 or something like that crazy. They've lost 11 of their last 13 games. Now, there's still only 2.5 games out of the wild card because the AL is not very good, but they're much further back in the central because Cleveland has gone in a little bit of a run, as we kind of expecting to do. And for them out of Chicago is now above 500 by a game. We said, you can use whatever phrasing you want to, but we said, can they tread water? Can they hold surf while he's out? And now they still have a couple more weeks, even if he's on the short end, right? They still have a couple more weeks that he's out. It's probably a little bit more than that. But even if it's the short end, we said that's a couple more weeks.

Sam. more weeks. Even if he's on the short end, right? They still have a couple more weeks that he's out. It's probably a little bit more than that. But even if it's the short end, we said that's a couple more weeks.
