| 0:00.0 | To the people. Go to Mike. He's a Whitmore Lake 971. Mikey, how you doing, buddy? |
| 0:06.2 | Mike, it's either playing 2.0, man. I tell you, I'm getting the same kind of vibes here. |
| 0:11.7 | And I wanted to give you Steve a chance to. I got one more year on him and I'm done. |
| 0:16.3 | So, okay, like Scott Harris said, you know, the names are are the same but the players are different they're |
| 0:21.4 | getting better well where are they getting better at what are we doing to make them any better what |
| 0:26.0 | are the coaches doing because you know bias is still swinging that pitches closer to Canada than |
| 0:32.2 | they're at home plate and green still striking out a gazillion times a night what's going on |
| 0:36.8 | what are we developing? |
| 0:37.7 | Well, see, you're hitting on something here. |
| 0:40.1 | And I think it's okay to say, hey, players are getting better. |
| 0:44.2 | But like, if Max Clark and McGonigal and, you know, if this were built of premium prospects that had been here and maybe made their debut last year, I think his point would have |
| 0:55.7 | more credence. But like, I'm sorry, but like, I don't believe in Zach McKinstree. I don't believe |

| 1:06.8 | Riley Green, you nailed it. Like, I think Riley Green's career is at a fork in the road. |
| 1:13.4 | You know, Glaber's not getting better. |
| 1:16.1 | That's where I get a little, yeah, you want to sell me, Dylan Dingler can get better. |
| 1:20.2 | Okay. |
| 1:21.1 | How much does Tork have to get better? |
| 1:23.6 | I don't know. |
| 1:24.9 | Mike, I just think it comes down to it. |
| 1:26.8 | Eventually, you as a paying customer, Mike. Don't you want them to have a few ballplayers that you'd pay to watch? Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, scruble could be one of those, but when you ask to be taken out after the sixth inning, I don't know about that. I mean, that's just a rumor I heard, and I'm not sure if that's true or not. Well, I'll tell you one thing, Mike, don't be shocked if you see that pitch count go down this year. You think Scott Boris is going to have his client out there in 110 pitches? That is not going to happen. That's why I loved Verlander back in the day, Mike. Yeah, he's a 101. Last of the Mohicans. |
