Five o'clock, good to have you.

0:01.4

If you're looking for Pistons conversation or Trajan Langdon, use the rewind.

0:05.6

We did about two hours on it.

0:07.4

I do want to turn our attention to our baseball team.

0:09.8

And I know that's probably not a smart move on my part.

0:12.4

Because I don't even know who's watching.

0:14.9

I was talking to cookies last night.

0:16.8

He did one of his silly little polls or whatever. And he's like, yeah, no one's watching the Tigers. And I can't blame you. I mean, they're horrible to watch. Call it what it is. What I'm not going to do is I'm not going to go to either end of the spectrum here. I'm not going to totally absolve them the way I've heard other people at this place do because of injuries. You can't do that.

But if you wanted a bigger sample size, some of this, you may say it's fair, you may say it's unfair, I just want to offer this to you. It's been a hot minute since this has been a good baseball team, healthy or not.

1:46.3

That's why I think it's clownish to just absolve them.
