Baseball only a couple days away.

Tigers will be playing the Dodgers on Thursday.

Big time spot, 7 o'clock.

Everybody watching his baseball comes back.

National TV.

But we want to know about your interest level, your excitement level.

Has it been zapped at all from the offseason and the injuries?

Because when we last talked about this team regularly, they were in the playoffs.

They were a win away from the ALCS.

And we took so many phone calls and ticket texts from people who said,

I've fallen in love with baseball again.

They were kind of background noise.

I didn't have the TV plan for part of the summer,

but they brought me back and I love baseball again.

Do you still feel that way as we kick off the season

in two days? I don't. I don't because it it the injuries have made it somewhat feel like you're

going into a fight with one arm tie behind your back. Because you know if I could

just simply use this arm, I'd be so much better. I would I would be able to hit, throw, run,

defend all of those different things. And it just feels like even though they didn't make the

additions overall that we wanted them to in the off season, that with Parker Meadows and Veerling and Winsel Perez, especially the way he played last year, the way he's hitting now.

Okay, we could, we can overcome some of those deficiencies because we have AJ Hinch.

We've got great pitching.
