| 0:00.0 | 3 o'clock good to have you want to get back into Tiger baseball because Torque was sent down with a little |
| 0:06.4 | spin so if you want to approach it the way we did at the start of the show that's fine |
| 0:11.6 | what is your belief that he'll get right? That he will return |
| 0:16.0 | and be a contributing member of this team. I don't think any of us have a |

| 1:17.0 | So here's my question. And obviously Rico you get first crack at this. |
