Thank you.

to the callers.

Ethan is going to lead us off here in the three o'clock.

Ethan, what's going on, buddy?

Well, thank you so much for taking my call.

Yes, sir.

I agree so much with you, Mike, on the point that this isn't just about the fact that the

Tigers are doing what they're doing, and I'll give you a stat in just a second

but the twins it it just is it's a free fall a complete and total free fall and I know they've dealt with some injuries but it it gets to a point

where how affected are you mentally as a team where you just feel like we cannot get this done.

And the stat that I wanted to give you is since August,

I believe it was 18th, August 18th,

the Tigers are 18 and 9 and the twins are the exact inverse.

They are 9 and 18.

Right.

It's incredible because the 18 and 9, that's fine Tigers got hot in a short span

Do you know how bad you got to be to be 9 and 18 is a team that's an alleged playoff team?

And that goes right back to my point about at some point in time

that starts to get to your mental psyche like we can't do this. We're not going to

do this. And the big part is and I understand you know the numbers say the 14% or whatever and I guarantee you just hit on it before you guys went to the commercial break that that does have to do with that tiebreaker.

You're essentially two and a half out right now not one and a half you have to

beat the twins in order to get in however I don't know I mean a win tonight
