| 0:07.0 | That lack of an update really threw me off. So I want to read to you what A.J. Hinch had to say after yesterday's embarrassing loss, |
| 0:16.2 | where the Tigers were swept out of Kansas City 8 to 3, 10 to 3 and 8 to 3. |
| 0:21.1 | Let me read for you what A. what AJ had to say, okay? Very simple. We stunk and that's not good |
| 0:27.4 | enough. This stuff's been going on here before and it's not going to happen here. We had a |
| 0:32.0 | chance and I'm not talking about anyone in particular I'm talking about the team, |

| 1:33.8 | We were pretty competitive. |
