Three o'clock, good to have you with us. The aforementioned Detroit Tigers become the topic and I'm just going to simply provide you with data.

You can do what you want with it.

All of the things we are about to say are true.

They're the hottest team in baseball in the last 15 games.

They are destroying bad teams.

They're killing the white socks.

They beat up on the angels.

They probably do it again tonight

they are five and a half games out of a wild card

the twins have hit the skids here

it happens in baseball

but here's my question.

When does it become a pen and chase?

Not something that's fun or cute or enjoyable,

a real pen and chase. So the data I want to provide to you and I am saying it without comment.

I am just offering it. You tell me if you believe it or not. They a half games to go

you're five and a half games out.

You can do the mathematics.

Yesterday we told you you probably need to go

22 and 8 to make the playoffs to get to 88 wins.

Not 90, not 89, 88.

You won last night, so you'd have to go 21 and 8 here on out.
