Summary
Mike and Rico get straight to business today following the Tigers' 2nd straight shutout loss to the team with the worst record in MLB, the Marlins. They break down what has gone wrong and throw even more criticism at Javier Báez and A.J. Hinch, by extension, for continuing to play him. Plus, the guys look at where Scott Harris could have improved the lineup more in the offseason and ask if the organization is even serious about winning. They take a good number of your calls and read even more ticket texts throughout the show.
