And we are back folks here on The Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb, Ira Wynchrop on the other side.

You know, Ira, broken record radio.

I just feel like, I mean, this is a no-no.

But I'm going to do it for emphasis.

Every time Terrick School takes the mile, I'm going to say it.

You cannot let the best pitcher in baseball leave.

You cannot let the guy that you DVR when he's on the mound and you can't watch it live,

you cannot let that guy walk.

You pay what it takes.

If the best guy in the uniform,

best homegrown guy in the uniform, support contract.

Since Justin Burlander, who you had around for how long was JV here, 12 years?

How long was JV a type?

JV was a tiger until the tigers weren't competitive anymore.

The tigers are in their competitive window.

You don't let a guy in the prime of his career leave while you're still in your competitive window.

Yeah, 2005 to 2017.

So... window. Yeah, 2005 to 2017. So this is, I don't understand how you can be a major league franchise that is, I know it's a business but the business is you are looking to entice your customers you entice your customers by being competitive win games right you want to You want to excite them.

You want to get, you want to get them enthusiastic about your product.

You want them to, you want them to attach themselves to, to your product, to your product, to the players who represent it, right?

You've achieved that at the highest of levels with Tarek School.

And you are in a window where you can expect that that is going to last for a reasonable period of time.
