Summary
Mike and Rico kick off the show by questioning the ambition of the Tigers to actually win games when they've continued to send out SP Kenta Maeda, even with a 7.26 ERA. They go back and wonder where else the money to sign Maeda could have been spent before taking your calls and reading your ticket texts to hear if you share their frustration. Then, David joins for an "In Football Today" to wrap the hour.

| 0:00.0 | So much to do so much to say Rico how are you are you ready to rock |
| 0:04.4 | Let's do it he's in his fashion jack-goldky hat this is gonna be a big day today |
| 0:10.2 | So we're all thinking the same thing. This is one of the rare times you, Kenny, David, like we are all united on one thing. |
| 0:20.3 | And it's last night and it's the idea of when you wonder why like you did |
| 0:28.1 | this topic yesterday and I was conflicted about I want the Tigers to win, but I feel spite. The spite is based on the fact that if you're not going to act like a major league organization, I resent you. |
| 0:42.0 | Every time you put my aida on the mound, |
| 0:46.0 | you're giving a game away. |
| 0:49.0 | Now that's not an opinion, it's actual facts |
| 0:52.0 | of any pitchers in baseball who have made at least 15 starts. |
| 0:58.4 | He is the only guy with an ERA north of six with a 7.26. You have lost 8 straight Myeda starts 8. You're eight games out of the wild card. You've lost 11 of his 15 starts. |
| 1:18.8 | Now this is the same baseball team that that continues to put Hobby Baez out there with a |
| 1:24.8 | negative eight defensive run saved and essentially a just a negative war player. |
| 1:30.2 | You put him out there every night, you're putting my eight out every fifth. I mean RICO if I if I run the team here's how this works my |
| 1:38.8 | Ada never pitches for me again. Now how you arrive at that is your business. He is a veteran. He can turn down a demotion. You could come up with a mystery injury like kneecap hurts, I L, and then rehabbing his knee has his knee he got hit by a car 60 day |
| 1:57.4 | d l you can do whatever you want mizes off the I L next week rico They can't pitch this guy anymore. |
| 2:03.6 | No, I guess your best case scenario is you just stick him in the pen if you somehow can't |
| 2:07.9 | get him off the active roster. We're just gonna you're gonna ride out there in the |
| 2:11.8 | bullpen. You're never gonna play unless we are down 12 to one and then you come in and pitch. |
| 2:18.0 | The other thing is I look here's my problem. I want to play some audio for you guys and I know that the team was not on |
| 2:24.0 | basic TV obviously duh but if you were watching for instance MLB network they have |
| 2:29.2 | the beginning where it's four different games and they and the tigers were featured heavily because they did come back |
| 2:35.4 | and cold Keith continues to heat up and play really well. |
