| 0:00.0 | Five o'clock, good to have you with us. |
| 0:01.7 | If you're just joining, the Tigers stink. |
| 0:04.1 | Four game sweep in Minnesota. There's nothing else I can say. I tried to be a level-headed yesterday, but I'm sorry. Watching the last two games, you can't be swept in a four-game set by anybody. But the twins, who might be one of the five worst teams in the league, they've got a bullpen who can't crush a grape and a food fight velocity-wise. come on, man. |
| 0:22.4 | And I just wanted to ask the question. |
| 0:23.9 | Rico and I were workshops. the league. They got a bullpen who can't crush a grape and a food fight velocity-wise. Come on, |
| 0:21.6 | man. And I just wanted to ask the question, Rico and I were workshopping it. This is what's |
| 0:26.3 | difficult with baseball. You can't say you're panicked, but you definitely can say, I'm unhappy, |
| 0:33.8 | this is annoying, and this isn't acceptable. So look, come home, play better. |
| 0:40.6 | This takes care of itself. |
| 0:42.5 | But I'm telling you, the way they're playing, you're not going to beat anybody with any starch |
| 0:48.0 | on a consistent basis. |
| 0:49.8 | Every game, it's something else. |
| 0:52.1 | From the bullpen to defense to pathetic at bats to starting pitchers blowing up, it's something new every day. |
| 0:59.1 | You know what that's a mark of? |
| 1:00.3 | That's a mark of a bad team. |
| 1:01.7 | And I don't think they're a bad team. |
| 1:03.4 | But so far, at 4 and 9, trick around a little bit longer and watch what it looks like. |
| 1:10.5 | Yeah, I mean, it's funny because it's as much as they did to improve pitching. And we were all like, yeah, it'd be nice if they added a bat. If they added a couple of bats and they didn't. And it's like, okay, well, maybe they know something. McGonigal was fun to watch. But now you're right. You're just not hitting the ball. And it really is kind of just that simplistic. Couldn't get a clutch hit to save their life tonight. I mean, today, rather, excuse me, tonight. I mean, they left runners on base all day. And you're facing a rookie who has been bad his first two starts. Oh, but of course, you're here, so he figures it out. Yeah, you turned into |
| 1:44.3 | the get-right game. But I want to end. I mean, do you think this team's got a little hangover? Do you feel like they read their press clippings? Or do you just think, guys, it's 13 games? Over the next 13, go 9 and 4, and we're back to square. I have no problem with any of that. I've told you I'm not panicked. |
| 2:00.8 | I'm annoyed. |
