It's as old school stern show as it gets.

Elegant, Elliot often.

All right.

I want to give you a little bit of tigers, a little bit of wings.

The Elliott Friedman stuff will get to in a moment.

I want to bring this back to how we open the show.

This was more than a weekend to me with the Cleveland Guardians.

And if you think I'm taking it too far, guilty is charged.

But I'm just not going to go on the air and lie to you.

I'm going to tell you exactly what I'm thinking.

It wasn't just that you beat Cleveland.

It's how.

And when you step back from it and you look at everything involved,

there were two things that really jumped out to me. There was a comp for the tigers, who they are,

how they operate, that I was comfortable with.

And then a proclamation. Now, I understand the odds of me being right about this, because

in sports, bleep happens. I understand that it's probably not a 50-50 even, but I feel it in my heart.

So let me offer you the comp. And it's a perfect example is the Scoobel game. Scoobel does what he does.

But you're down one nothing.

You're staring down Emmanuel Claisse, who admittedly is not who he was last year, but he's still Emmanuel Claisee, and if he got in real trouble, they got Cade Smith.

They hit Torque, McKinstree steals second, ground ball to third, right, advance to third, wild pitch score.

Oh, okay, just as I had that drawn up.
