| 0:00.0 | All right, David, text. Then we get to the people. Tiger grades. The athletic says C plus. |
| 0:06.1 | Obviously, tomorrow is going to be Scoobble Day. The day that at least according to reports |
| 0:11.8 | is going to determine whether we get to add to this team or not. And also, too, I got to admit |
| 0:18.7 | it. I know it's not my money money but I listened to Doug and Scott earlier |
| 0:24.7 | and they're basically like you have to root for scoobel to lose this and I'm I'm never on the side |
| 0:31.3 | of like making athletes martyrs but I can't bring myself to root for the Tigers v. scoble in this. You can hate Boris. |
| 0:40.8 | You can hate the way that this has played out. You can hate the fact that maybe he doesn't want |
| 0:45.5 | to be here. A back-to-back Cy Young Award winner being offered and paid the same thing |
| 0:53.0 | that David Price got 11 years ago is rotten. |
| 0:56.8 | And by the way, if it was inflation adjusted, that offered a price 11 years ago at 19 million |
| 1:02.0 | is 27 million in today's dollars. |
| 1:05.9 | I can't root for that because that's not a tiger thing. |
| 1:09.5 | That's an establishment thing. I don't root for teams to that's not a tiger thing. That's an establishment thing. |
| 1:11.2 | I don't root for teams to cost control and screw over players. |
| 1:15.5 | I just can't. |
| 1:16.6 | And I know I have to root against Scoobel to get what I want, which is more weapons for this team. |
| 1:24.7 | You know what, Mike? |
| 1:25.6 | I think you can go ahead and rule for school because I think that even for some chance if they win, I don't think they're really going to do anything. Don't you dare. We're manifesting positive. We're getting Michael Porter Jr. No, no, no. My cousin, Lucas Gialito. How dare you? Okay. We need more Italians in this town. Okay. That's a platform I'm running on. Glad we got extra chairs in the studio. No, it won't be that. No, the tigers have broken me. I just don't care. I just don't care. And maybe I'm just being naive. I don't see how you walk this back after it's over. Like, do you go out to dinner? No hard feelings. No, what you'll see is |
| 2:03.7 | a round of propaganda emanating from the team through friendly media sources about what a competitor |
| 2:09.8 | scuba is and he's unaffected and he's going to go for Syung number three. It won't be a |
| 2:15.3 | distraction, yada, yada. Right, because yeah, I I think that you would because, like, looking at the difference, where's your motivation? Wait, so I won back-to-back side. For him, he's betting on himself, and he's got 400 million reasons. He's got a pitch. That's not what it's about. It's about the distraction to the ball club where his teammates get asked about it, |
