Yeah, it's about right, Dan.

0:02.5

Yeah.

0:03.0

Shut out last night.

0:04.8

Lead is down to four and a half in the American League Central.

0:08.2

Still in control this.

0:09.9

Still at a good spot with scuba on the mound.

0:12.8

What are you?

0:13.8

Yeah.

0:14.8

Pucker factor's getting there.

0:14.8

Well, there is a pucker factor, John.

0:19.2

You don't do that again for people?

0:20.2

That's the fucker sound. And what did AJ say? Like pressure packed, I think, was one of the quotes after the game yesterday. And they shouldn't run from the fact that there's... Thank you, Mike. That there's pressure on them right now. Don't run from it. Embrace it and actually do something about it today. And you got Terrick Scuba on the mound. It's the guy you'd want to have pitching when you have pressure. It's that's an ace step up and be an ace. And now

1:24.3

Underdog, not supposed to be here. Just go to the ballpark. And if we lose, well, we're not supposed to be here. But if we win, it stacks and you build momentum. For the Tigers, they've been in first place for like 150 days. Right. The idea that this would even get close is embarrassing. And the idea that it could get within three and a half today, you start to talk about a collapse. So there's pressure on Detroit, but don't run from it. When today, and it's five and a half with nine games to go, and it's not mathematically over, but you put the screws to Cleveland. This is such a big baseball game later today. It is.
