Look, I think we're going to get to some lines a little later, but I did want to open with the Tigers, level-headed. I don't think any of it's hyperbole. There's no yelling. There's no heavy declarations. But when your team loses seven out of eight, and I think there's a theme, I think it's okay to talk about it when you're in the walk |
