This Friday, Mr. Michael Stone and Rico, and we are going to do two versions of this weekend sports by the numbers.

It'll be this week in sports, by the numbers. I don't give it away. Okay, you know Stoney's listening.

That's good, I want him to know.

Okay. And then Stoney, by the numbers.

We'll be asking lots of probing questions.

All right, so the Tigers thing, I wanted to just ask this question.

Did the, and please don't do what I heard a caller do with Gator today.

Don't be some mealy mouth defender of the universe for the Tigers and act like I'm married to this player. I am not. Let me repeat, I am not.

But it's an issue of principle. And I think we've identified exactly how this organization's

going to run and I don't have to like it.

And that is this Cody Bellinger thing.

Now, no proof he would even take your phone call.

Do you know how we know it? You never called. But the point is he

went back to Chicago for about half of what Boris wanted. At the start of the

off season, Scott Boris wanted 150 million dollars. He was never getting that.

Bellinger 3 at 80 and there's an opt-out after every year.

So let's say Bellinger lights it up. Let's say Bellinger gives you 275 30 bombs 90

runs 90 rubies, you know, and 8 something, OPS, right? He ops out. Who does it hurt? No one. Now before people do this other routine I'm hearing, just understand something.

You got to stop with the whole well if we brought an X we'd be blocking Y.

I'm sorry but Parker Meadows got to eat man.

Right and again I'm fine having the youth on the roster and I'm fine giving guys at bats and

baseball is a long season, injuries happen, you need depth.
