And welcome to Big D Energy. BK, Bae, how do you feel? Shredded. Where are you? I'm taking the day off. It's opening night in the hockey town, and I tend to be there. I recall Central Park in Baltimore. It took me three years to save up for this car. It is my joy, it is my love, it is my passion. It's your fault that I'm in this garage. D-Mac, we can't take this car to the game. Sorry DK. Oh Danny's here, career long now. Shit. So what are we going to do? The question isn't what are we going to do? The question is, what aren't we going to do? The city looks so peaceful from up here. Anything is peaceful from 700 feet. We'll see Nuzi down there. That handsome sucker's down there somewhere. Why should he get to do whatever he wants, whatever he wants? Why should he get to go to open night? I'm stuck here, here. We'll make himself a gosh darn special. Screw him. I'm going to open night too. Hey! What's the store? Nothing nothing. Who's winning? Lions. Where's ballet? Where's ballet? Relax. Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't go in right now, you gotta wait. Sarah, think you're glad you're all right, we're bored, sick about you. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and take a look around once in a while, you can miss it. Gotta hurry up, it's almost time, come on, go go go. Use the chest. Nice. Yo, yo, yo, what's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Big D Energy. My name is Neil Rule, alongside Emmy Award-winning actor Darren McCarty. Tell me fairs today, boys. Absolutely. K.T. in the building. Spencer Raxter in the building. Jesus is here hanging. Are you in the baseball game today? Yes, sir, had to come down. He's going to the game. Jump in to that Woodward Sports Chat thread. Get in there, get your thoughts in there. Subscribe to the Woodward Sports YouTube channel, FJ 1967. Good morning, Big D Energy. Good morning. And check, good morning, everybody. Jan, great job, kid, commercial was awesome. For those that don't know, the new school kids out there, that's an Ode to Ferris Bueller's Day off. Yeah, great movie. Yep. It is a good movie. Classic. No, it is. Absolutely. It is a great movie, but man, it is popping. Red Wing start tomorrow. Tigers today, game three. The Lions are playing the Cowboys and you don't even know it. Don't care either. Really? Because it's not Sunday. Yeah. I never thought we would be in this position, man. I know we've been talking about that a lot. I never thought that we would be in this position. But here we are, everybody. DMACC. You stoked? Troy's back, baby. Said it yesterday. That's what it is. We're clicking on all cylinders and even the one we don't mention about, you were there last night. Yes. Clearly it was there at the Brazilian center. We got the Pistons rocking and rolling with their new luck trying to, I guess, get on the wave that the rest of the teams are on. So, yeah, Wing start tomorrow. Tomorrow the Jews, we got to, Jews just came back in town. It must be big. Yes, bless us. You know, the second-coming, so to speak. So, playoff baseball, everybody excited. Because two months ago, right, who would have thought? Tamboli. Would have thought. But we're buzzing right now. Oh, yeah. And next, you know, on the weekend, don't we have a football game? There is a football game. So, the Lions are back. Didn't this work out perfectly? The way that the, the way that the bye week set into with the Tigers, so we can strictly focus right now in dial-in, more so on the Tigers and what they're doing and how special it is. And I love the fact that that's what our, the fan base of Detroit sports, right? We know where to go. What do we always say? Fickle, but knowledgeable. And you give me a product that shows that effort and whatever and we will show up and show out. I can't wait to see, you know, the atmosphere down there. I know we're all talking about the Tigers and stuff like this. Has there, has AJ Hinch announced his starter yet? I don't think so. Not yet. No, not yet, right? Which are keeping them on, on the ground. Now, we all hope what we talked about yesterday about it. We hope Tyler Holden gets another shot with this crowd and this energy behind it. So, a lot of times, Neil, right? With a younger team, it's about embracing that energy because there'll be a lot of it out there. But I think that this team is perfectly set up for what the fans have to give them. Just like we see over at Ford Field with the Lions. So that energy is going to be there at Comerico Park today. And if you're one of the 40,000 in attendance, congratulations. If you're not, make sure you tune into Woodward Sports at 3 p.m. for another watch party. I will try to make sure that the fellas and whoever's watching are a little bit more up. Today, Kenny, can we do that? Can we go into the game with a little bit more zest? Absolutely. Can you help me with that? I got breaking news. I got Tigers breaking news. Kaiser Montero will be the starter here today. Okay. Breaking news. Just post it as a matter of fact by the Detroit Tigers. Don't hate it. Not mad at it. There it is, everybody. This is the way it works. Like there's, I'm waiting. You know, we got about a 20, 20-ish second delay from what we say to when it hits the YouTube, to when people can react to it and stuff like that. So I'm waiting. I'm waiting because like, you know, people are going to flip out. There are going to be something to flip out. Watch. Watch. Fletcher lives daily. Montero bringing home, baby. All right. So Dante 151. Good job on the Pistons play by play last night. Yeah, great job. It hits, not a fan of it at all. See, there we go. First off, I do want to say it. You guys were incredible last night. Like, thanks for the messages. Text messages from people. The DMs on social media. All the check-ins. I appreciate y'all for real. Like, for real, for real. You guys know, you make me feel pretty good. For real, you do. I know we just sit here and chop it up about sports and we have differences of opinion on stuff. But you guys do support it. And I really, really do appreciate it. So I do want to say thank you. But moving on. Why a bear? TBD greater than Montero. Chuck Brewer. Who? 14 grit. Yikes. See? Yeah, come on. Who are you to question? It's not Yikes. And the whole thing is, is that can we get what? Two innings out of them? Absolutely. Like the top of the order. Like the way, Neil, you broke it down even more. Is who's pitching to what part of their lineup? Right? So the first part going through the first two innings or whatever, first top six or maybe three innings, you want to get through the lineup one time with this guy. You have to do it. And then that sets up your bullpen for more matches. Guys, just let AJ Hinch cook. Magic is undefeated. Right? Let's go. That's it. More important. I think it's a perfect time. And I would like everybody's input right here. Philippines on demand. Steve Mack. Who's going yard today? Ooh. Right? Sam Flannel, Riley Green's going yard and you're going to have to sit here and clap. It's all day long. That's why I got it. You got any vibes on anybody going yard today? No, they're going to win without a home run. Win without a home run. Kenny. Kerry Bonds. You had again. Kerry Bonds. Kerry Bonds. You're seeing the start of the night. Oh, we got two hot Kerry Bonds. Give me Parker. Parker Meadows. I like Parker. There you go. Almost. Body had one last game. It was close. The win kept it in. So there you go. Philippines on demand. Stoke not scared for the Tigers. Hey, it's Kenny. That's what we're going to say. It's ending in Detroit. I promise you. I'm with that. I'm with that 100%. No, it is. So Carter Montero will be the starter today. Alex Cobb. Like guys. Hey, did you catch the Dodgers act again last night, by the way? They did. A little bit of pitching issues there. You know what I'm saying? This is legit a free for all. This whole baseball playoffs is a free for all. The Dodgers don't have anyone to pick. Wasn't Walker real or good once? He was. At one time. You know what? Real talk? Like he's a free agent. Chris Fender. Chris Fender. Come see the A. Walker billier. Come see the doctor. Right. Come see the doctor. Come see the doctor. Come see the doctor. Come on. Oh my gosh. Yeah, the Federer. Dr. Federer. He's calling you home. Yeah. The Federer on line one for you. Walker Bueller. Bueller. Bueller. Bueller. Bueller. McCarty. I'm just telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. He'll get you right. He'll get you right. Jump into that chat. But we got the starters now. Key Aussie tomorrow with the Detroit sports double header. Tigers Red Wings will only be sweeter if the Tigers win today. But the God of win is today. It is all up for grabs, man. It's all on the line. Zero zero again. And here we are with Cider Montero. And we got people crushing it. Brandon Hassell. You guys are hating on Montero. He looked good as last outing. He's been our second best starter. He's been our second best starter the second half of the season. He's better than Corbin Bird since the All-Star break. Yeah. He's been pretty good. I'm not mad at it. I wanted him in game two against Houston. And here we are. He's on the playoff roster for a reason. I mean, my Aida isn't on the playoff roster for a reason. What are we talking about here? Absolutely. Absolutely. Sit back and watch the maestro. Let the man cook. Exactly. Let AJ Hinch cook, man. One more evidence you need. This team was below 500. And now we're three in one in the playoffs. Three in one in the playoffs. Let him cook. Let him cook. Detroit Dabber 313 with the Ferris Bueller reset. Well, DMACC's very popular. The sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bluds, wasteoys, dweebies, dickheads. They all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude. Hey, man. That's kind of encapsulate you, doesn't it? Pretty much. Yeah. Sean Hart, you. How many innings does he go? Depends on how he's pitching. Yeah. I'd say at least two. At least. At least two, for sure. DNC ENT, Monteiro hasn't allowed a first run inning since August 11th. DNC ENT, I see what you're doing there. I see what you're doing there. Yeah. He also said Jose Ramirez is going to get a home run. He's being a hater. No, no. I think he's telling you. Caesar Sportsbook. Oh, nice. First run. First inning run. No. He's also saying, but on Jose Ramirez, they had a home run. Hell. Not happening. Hell. Oh, it would be surprised to have happened. One sixty seven. They don't predict the opponent to get a home run. They'll play off game. Burn. Burn. Monteiro, perfect game loading. Now you're going to the spending realm a little bit. There we go. So I like to hear. Perfect game spending. You calling it? Oh, yeah. Perfect. 11-0-15-0. What do you got? What was it? Greg Maddox threw a complete game with 72 pitches. Yes. I can see something like that. Like an hour and 42 minutes. It seemed Monteiro doing something similar. Oh, yeah. You got that one? Okay. That one gets the day off. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's ready to go for it. 72-bit complete game. Shut up. I got it. Monteiro. So there you have it, everybody. Yeah. So it's happening. It's going down. We'll get into it a little bit more. We are going to touch on some lion stuff too as well. Don't forget the Woolward Sports Watch Party. We seem to have a pretty good track record with the Watch Party. Yeah. So do your part, everybody.

You were absolutely right. Get on him. Sucks to be you, Rax. Yeah, I bet you wish you were going to the game, Rax. Oh, burn. Sue you. Neil, you sounded too nasally on the broadcast. Mark Champion is the true goat. Mark Champion is a goat, by the way. Yeah. Come on, my dog. I'll tell you what, I'm sick of the Devin Booker shit. Yeah. Thank you. That shit is so annoying. Thank you. This is me off so much. But he gave Michigan State the gift. I don't give a fuck about what he's given Michigan State. All of this shit of, I've always wanted to play on Breslin's court. I really wanted to go to Michigan State. Well, you could have. Right. Why didn't you then? Because I could take this shit. Go to Kentucky with it. I don't fucking care. Yeah. That shit is so annoying to me. We were top two team for Devin Booker. You chose Kentucky. Stand on business. You're a wildcat. You're not a Spartan. You'll never be a Spartan. That shit pisses me off, man. I saw it so many times. All these, all these little interviews with him yesterday and all this stuff saying, oh, I really wanted to go to Michigan State more than anything. I really, I've always wanted to play a game on Breslin court. Well, you fucking could have and you chose not to. So keep that shit to yourself. Go ahead. But isn't it a Spartan dog of him to get his bag? No, he's not a Spartan dog because he isn't a Spartan dog. He gave him shoes though, man. The whole team. Fuck that dude. That shit's annoying. I feel you, man. He's not coming to the business rack in the chat says 1000% I am jealous. So he's so he did he did bring the truth real quickly to Iraq on the game last night, Kevin Durant still the product. Yeah. You knew it. He's this. You knew it. I'm the athlete I've ever called, ever, ever, ever like that's a pretty big. He brings a but he's six 11. He's 17 years in and this was I called him early on back when he was with Oklahoma City with Ross and all that kind of and you know, they had a cooking over there at Oklahoma City and it's still the same. It's still the same. Six 11 brings a ball up the floor and just brings it up and pulls up and knocks down the jumper and there's nothing you can do and you're like, well, why don't you stop it? You can't you can play the best defense doesn't matter. You merely possible. He's above you. He rises above you. There's nothing you can do this. You just hope he misses. I like how you said six 11. He's not six 11. He's like seven one. It feels like the dude is free. Well, I mean, he's the greatest offensive weapon I've ever seen in my entire 100% yeah. Is it the fluency? Yes. Yes. Like it looks like a point guard bringing the ball up the floor like nothing. You know, when bigs bring the ball up the floor, sometimes it can be awkward. Yeah. It's smooth, man. He and look, the hell it's going to be the health thing and I sent the broadcast last night. Phoenix's outcome will be judged by championships. That's it. That's all you know, that they got Bradley Beale and they got Devin Booker. That's it. You got to go win a chip or it's a failure. Like that's the way it works. But I just want to put that out there in person calling the game, Kevin Durant is just mercurial, not to say, I'm not saying, well, now that he's 37 or whatever, he can go give you 50. And I know I'm not saying that. I'm saying you still see it. No, but that says something to you watch this guy for a number like for 17 years and it looks the same effort list like met amongst boys. It's sort of his dominance and then there's a few guys in the league that have it at different ways, right? You know what I'm saying? Like you said, six, 11, you can't get up that high, right? You know, only hope what he does to himself. Tyler says he's six, 13. He's really a six, 13. He really is six, 13. Wyatt Bear, 130 bucks to get into Comerica today. Okay, they're tomorrow. This deal ticket is available. I'm just like secondary market. Okay. Brian says Booker is a buster. Don't punk out on your decision as a man. Go to college that paid you. Thanks. Don't punk out Booker. Just like he didn't. He didn't go to Michigan State. That's fine. But don't give me all his bullshit. I've always wanted to play on the Brazil court. I always wanted to go to Michigan State. You could have. You could have. So why didn't you? Last thing on the game last night of Brazil. And by the way, great showing by the Michigan State students out there that we got out. Great throwback Jersey selection out there. Somebody had a Charles Barkley throwback sons. I saw a draws in Petrovitch. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Next time. So, you know, Thursday or Saturday, hit up the rib, go to Rama, you'll see the best Jersey selection. It was tight, man. It's awesome. Yeah. It was it was tight. Wyatt Bear 130 bucks today, 180 tomorrow to get in Mike G. I was told Calipari is a good coach. I mean, he's a good recruiter. Yeah. Well, that's that's part of college coaching. Yeah. He's always outcoaches. It's it's a very close to him. Very very important. You're still out of that. That's facts though. All right, DMACC. What's your vibe? What's your vibe today? Yeah. Today. I like the fact we're facing Cobb. You know, you got carpenter in the lineup to start. I think we're going to see some offensive production and we're going to see one of those games that five six of our guys got a pitch. I mean, it's a typical this sets up for us this sort of game and sort of I like. Monteiro low, Monteiro could if he's if he's on point, he could give you six. That's what I was right. I think that like I if you're coming out of the jungle, what do you hope in that he gives you five? Okay, I was I was I was three or four. Yeah. You're prepared for that. If he can go longer or whatever like this, you bring up a great point. How's he look lately? I'm going to take his overall look at how are how guys look lately and and he's look as good as possible. Now here's the thing, right? The worst thing that could happen happened in the first game in the first inning against you. You got that out of the way. So now with the way that things ended, you're riding the wave. You're coming back home. I think everybody's feeling the juice and at this as a young team, it's not overwhelming because you're not you're still in that bubble of magic and believing, right? So I actually think the bats actually get going today. I think this is a more of a high. What's the over under seven seven, which is yeah, which is I think it's going to be an over. It's it's juice to the over though over's minus one 15 on Caesar sports book, the official sports book of Woodward sports. I think it's like some runs today and you can't see you have to because you can't expect to shut down this Cleveland these Cleveland bats for another game without there's always there's always one softball game in a baseball playoffs here. There's always one. Did you watch that Braves or the Padres Dodgers beginning of that game? The fireworks and the early innings because all the runs were pretty much were early. Yeah. Right. And stuff like this Walker Bueller's got to come home and have Dr. Fetter fix him. Well, yeah. No, no, I understand that. But but to the fact that I expected more of more of a higher scoring game today, which you know, we got it. We got to get on Alex Cobb. Are you intimidated by him coming out pitching or do you know, and like DMACC like let's let's be real about it. I was going to try to save this for later, but but let's be real about it. You have to knock around Alex Cobb. Here's your shot. Here's your shot. Like this is the series today. Yeah, I honestly do believe that this is if you win this game, if the Tigers win this game, the series is over, you get a free spin and then the closers looming. Then the bouncer, Derek scuba is going to say, alright, everybody drink up. This is over. Get out of here. But that's this is it, if you if they get this game, it is over and you're going to the ALCS closing time is playing. That's it, man. Like if if you can get this game, but that all starts with you have to knock around Alex. It's Alex Cobb, man. Right. Right. Because you got to expect their bullpen is going to be, you know, pretty much like like so. You're not class. They ain't going to class or whatever's name and they can do the same thing. Their bullpen's been really good. So you got to get to their starters. Uh, spenny, especially a right hander as well. 100%. Like that's it's a non-negotiable. You can understand and you can accept the Matt Boyd. Okay. Came out. But you got to jump all over this guy. Uh, Caesar Sportsbook, by the way, he's got the, uh, Detroit Tigers. The difference makers, uh, parlay. Tigers win carpenter home run, Riley green, one plus hits plus 950. It's not bad. That's not bad. I'm just saying it's out there. Caesar Sportsbook used promo code Woodward 1000. Well I would ask spenny. I know how spenny feels. 13 nothing tigers. Uh, Montero. No hitter. Perfect game. On, uh, on 20. He's going to throw 28 pitches. Yeah. Throw one ball. For sure. Now that I'll say 72 pitch 72 pitch, uh, shut out. It's going to be a masterclass, the greatest postseason pitching performance in the history of the MLB. Yeah. How are they? 2.0. Brian Kobara, uh, cob's a pitcher, not like the modern day thrower. He's crafty. Can get outs. Detroit needs to be patient. Look for a pitch and location and not miss that pitch. No, and Brian, you're, you're right. Like you're, you're absolutely right. Um, cob's one of those guys. I, I think I talked about this yesterday when we were talking about this game tomorrow, where he, every, every person in your fantasy baseball league has Alex Cobb on their team at one point in the season, like nobody has picked up and dropped more in fantasy baseball than Alex Cobb. Um, especially when he was at San Francisco, because he'd be out there and they had the low scoring games and all that kind of stuff. But he's awful on the road this year. I mean, I know he's got a limited sample size, but it's, it's a right handed pitcher. And Riley Green's got to get it going, man, like, and I'm not like, I'm not pounding the table saying if he doesn't get him on it, I'm not saying that, but you know who knows he's got to get it going more than anyone? Riley Green. And this is the top, like this is the time and carry bonds will be available the whole game and like DMACC, this, this one, this one today, this one's on the bat, this one's on the offense. This one's on the offense today. For sure. How about your, how about your pitchers, right? They'll, I'm confident that they'll do their job, but you got to do your job. It's time for the torque and Riley Green is time for your guys that you deem as your future. Yeah. To step up, this is a perfect game for in front of the hometown fans and stuff like this. No ride on momentum, man. You have to rather early. Oh, my God, give them a reason. Mm hmm. Give them a reason. Alex Cobb hasn't pitched in a postseason game in a longer span than the Tigers have been in the postseason. It's been 11 years since Alex Cobb has pitched in a postseason game. The Tigers have to look to bounce on them early, stay on them, and knock Alex Cobb out of the game because I, you know, I don't see class A giving up, giving up another home run like that in the back end of a game. Their big lefty had a bad outing as well. I mean, how many more bad innings are you bad outings are going to get off of dominant bullpen like Cleveland? Like you have to go after Cobb. No, no question because you're not getting another one. That's just the way that it goes. I do have a concern though that I want to get into when we come back and I'm, I'm gravely concerned about it. It's a top five Wednesday, by the way. Top five. Top five crappy chores. I'm excited for this list. Yeah, kids, you make sure you send your list. Yep. I'm, I'm going to pop on my because I think about it right now and it's getting me angry thinking about it. Like it is, man. So and look, my wife doesn't watch so I know I'm safe. They here. There you go. Get your shit off. If you're friends with my wife and you're watching, don't tell it. Don't be the feds. Don't knock. All right. Come on. Don't knock. Spaniel come after you. Yeah, he will. He will. I've been known to collect kneecaps from my woodpolly. All right. There is something that concerns me gravely about the tigers today. I want to discuss it when we come back. Uh, hey, we're doing the pregame show everybody. We do it right here on Woodward Sports. We're doing football Sundays better than anybody at all starts eight to nine AM Woodward and Maine.

I don't know if you guys caught it or not? You know how he's back with the team, right? Happy Bias. Well, that locker room is so strong right now. I don't think there's a force that could break it. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. I can't break it with your friends, because it is not like get worried, get worried if he takes a line up spot, right, right, but then then get worried. No, no, it is, it is that they are happy to see him. It is genuine if he's part of that team, but it's nothing to do. It's outside looking and it's do whatever else. Yeah, AJ Hinch ain't gonna let anything just to understand now, I guess the only good thing is if somebody gets hurt and somebody goes down and you would have that option, then have that conversation. But the fact that he's doing that, they're paying up $25 million, you better be at the facility doing rehab and stuff like this. All right, D-man. Okay. I just wanted to bring it up. It's not to be worried about next year. Get out. I don't like it. And I know we hate Harvey, but it's not like he's purposely trying to go out there and be the best hitter. No, and look like you guys heard me. I always keep this stuff between the lines. Yeah. Always. They like the guy. I'm sure he's a nice guy and everything like that. Like, I will give Harvey this. I will. He shows up, he shows up and puts in the work. He never asked out of the lineup. Like I will give him that. Yeah. He's never flipped off the fans. He never pulled a field coat. No. He could easily do that. Who was that? Oh, man. Alex Collins. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was a tough look. I will give him that. I'll give him that. Like, the guy does, he shows up and he tries. He's just not good anymore. Yeah. You know? So that's what it is. I wish he was in Cancun. Personally. Me too. I would prefer that. But whatever. All right. DMACC told me it's all good. Yeah. The guy that's been in locker rooms. He knows. Thank you DMACC. You're welcome. Thanks for doing that. Tyler Collins. That's it. Oh, yeah. That's right. Tyler Collins. Yeah. He's not good. Shout out. That shit was so funny. Oh, my God. Let him experience what he could have been a part of. That's all. No. Absolutely. Burn. Neil, I'm just saying be ready to see Harvey and my boy Kenta Mayetta on the parade float showing up. Showing up in 20, in 2044 for the 20 year celebration of this time. Hey. If they pull it off. They get it right. They're more than welcome. into my aid of statue. If they pulled off, build a hobby by a statue of Comerico Park. If they win the World Series, if they win the World Series, I would I would wear a hobby by a city connector. Oh, at that point, yeah, 100% I would get for 20 bucks. Can you wear it? Would you ever get one? Yeah, just count right anywhere. Right. Are they a whole factor? Yeah, Marshall's TJ Maxx, former Mills, and I'm Mr. Allen's you can get him anywhere. Let's go Red Wing Sparty. Got to think Riley or Torque breakout today with a couple of hits and DMACC. I don't I don't think the Riley Green thing is a thing. I do worry about Torque, not in the sense of like worry about him. It's you're getting a vibe. If this does go south, if this does go south, you know who the you know who the public face, you know who the pound of flesh is going to be with the fans, you know, regardless of what happens or how it's it should be. It's it's already too late. Yeah, what Torque has been all season, you know, so yeah, no, it's it's true. But DMACC, this is the moment right for Riley Green. I gotta feel like it's the moment. Right. If you want to be that guy, if we say that he's your face and stuff like this, and he's got to step forward to me, it's, you know, Torque's got to go on because you can't have no production from the six spot, right? You know, so I I'm more confident that Riley Green gets a go in today than than Torque, but you need both of them. Breaking news and this one is almost unbelievable.

Get a hit with runners in scoring position. Yes, but see, that's what that's what the playoffs are. That's why playoff baseball is so awesome because everything gets distilled down. Yeah, like getting out of base. Don't care about getting on base. If it's not productive, what does it matter? Get a hit with runners in scoring position. That's what this game is DMACC or head home run playoff baseball. Yeah, or head home run. What do you do with runners in scoring position? That's it. Yeah. That's it. I know again, I know it's been a decade since we've been involved. Torque isn't on this team to get on base. Torque is on this team to hit the ball 400 feet and the drive runners in. So that's what he needs to do. Kalamazoo, I'm telling you, Jake Rogers, going to be the hero today. Put him in your parlay for a home run. The walrus. Hey, fix, but hot. Yeah, man. Great. Posty. He's the best hitter of the post. Yeah, he really is. Is it disrespectful to calm the walrus? No, he looks like a walrus for light facts. 14 grit Billy Bean. I only care about on base percentage, right? What happens to them in the playoffs? What happened to them? Yeah. Yeah. Like this is, it's funny. Lost in the playoffs. Yeah. I got in this discussion DMACC yesterday and actually I want to get your thought on it. Okay. I was talking with a former Pistons beat writer Vince Ellis about this about baseball plays this long arduous season. And then when you get into playoffs, the game changes. It does. Like it's literally a different game on base percentage. Doesn't matter as much just like we've been talking about what runners in scoring position. That's, that's the hook now. That's, that's what it's all about. Isn't it wild that we do this March from April 1st to October 1st, literally playing every day and then you get into playoffs and the rules of engagement change 180 degrees. It's wild, isn't it? No regular season. I mean, it all sports playoffs are a different beast. But maybe the question is, is baseball, is it the biggest different beast, right? Now you look at the way. So you look at the way AJ Hinch has been managing the last two months of the season, which has been the sort of playoff baseball ask, right? It doesn't matter. Get the guy in match ups that you want. Doesn't matter how many guys you burn through. You're not worried about your bullpen or anything. You got to win games, find a way to win games. So you got to have any sort of production, but it's getting guys to second base and cash in a mint. That's where it is. Can you cash a guy in? Can you move a guy over? You know, that, that's one thing last game. You know, torque guy on second sack fly to right field, moving a guy over with less than two outs. So I mean, it's not like the guys aren't trying and, and doing, you know, some of the little things, it just means a little bit more. Get a more credit with under two outs. You get to cash the guy in from third base, right? So it's the imperativeness of that. You can't, and being the Detroit Tigers, you can't let those opportunities get by when you get those opportunities. It's cash in and that's what the good teams and the teams that's successful in the playoffs. And it's, it's not your top guy, for the most part. It's that role player or pinch hitter that comes in and, you know, does the job whenever else we see it all around the league. Guys whose names you don't know. Yeah. Hey, and I'm sick and see and stuff like this, like Cartier, Shao Cartier, very, you know, valued member of the chat, but, but he says, torque is a scapegoat. Let them play. What? Torque and Riley green are not scapegoats. If they don't hit the ball well, or if they don't hit and we lose, it's their fault. They are your one one and the best player on your team. So if they don't perform, it's not saying their scapegoats. They're the reason we lost if we lose. It's not a scapegoat. It's that's the reason. So they need to perform. Riley green needs to step up. He's your, he was your best player all season. No question. Right. Outside of Terricks Google. He needs to be better. He has been your worst, better in the playoffs. Like that can't happen. That's not being a scapegoat. That's your the best player on the team. You need to hit or the team's probably not going to win. Right. Torque's biggest highlight this postseason was a sack fly that advanced a runner. He's been good at first, but yes, he does need to hit and right. You can't, you can't rely on Jake Rogers every game. You can't rely on Trace Sweeney or Zack McKinstry or like Kerry Carpenter stepped up. That was huge. He's one of your best hitters as well. He stepped up. Riley green. I think he will. I hope he does. But he needs to step up for sure. Yeah. He can't have a batting average that has a one in front of it and see, keep that same energy. Riley green going to step up. Good. Good. I want him to. I hope he does. What do you mean keep that same energy? If he steps up, I can't keep the same energy because he sucks right now. He knows he needs to step up. But if he doesn't and they lose, that's the reason. It's not a scapegoat thing. It's like one and one. If Riley green goes 0 for three again. Tigers are more than likely not going to win. He's two for 15 of four strikeouts in the playoffs. They can't do that. You're the All-Star. You're the best player on the team. Got to be better than that. And this, this is part of the of the highway to DMACC. Like the the spotlight gets turned up brighter. Your successes are magnified. If I man, I wish I knew somebody that that really took advantage of the moment in their career is that that the playoffs and the championship chase had to offer you. Do you know anybody? Can you get somebody on the phone to spend his point, right? The Rogers, the Sweeney's, the McKinstries, the grind line, the deep. Yeah, we'll we'll step up once, twice, maybe three times in a moment when the big guys can't do it. But to be successful, you need your best players being your best players. What do you know? And here's the thing. Look at how beautiful it is. We're talking about all this and this struggle, whatever on the road, you know, the the games in Houston and then the two games here. You're coming home now. You're you're coming home. So so there's no excuse. You're playing in your own ballpark. I can give you the fact that, okay, it was a little uncomfortable playing on the road. And you got pitched well against or whatever, but you're coming home in your own ballpark, a time when you can make a statement, when you can in the verbal, drop your sack, right, right on this other tee and make a legacy for yourself. Yeah. Right. So that's what these guys are doing. And they're doing it together. And and it's the one thing where they understand that they have to lean on the guys next to them. And they have. So now it's time for the big guys to keep going. Carry bonds is going to be carry bonds. I believe right just the way and locked in and having him in the lineup the whole time is such is such a blessing. That gives me more confidence too. So hopefully that the rest of the guys can feed off it. And I, I, you know, I'm vibing. Riley Green has a big game. That's what that's what I think you will too. I think like I love Riley Green. I got his jersey. Kim was like I said, he's your best hitter. I'm way too much money on it. Way too much money on it. You know, this is like, this is like you guys talking about and and I'm only going to use this analogy, right? Because of the bad, like it's like Fedoroff's coming back after a playoff series playing two games on the road or whatever and hasn't had a point. Yeah, you think you're keeping him off the board? You think that does he not? Does he not know that he's got to be the best player in the next game to whatever to help us win? Right? To the fact you you nailed it. Number one is Riley Green, self aware enough to to know that he all the stuff we're saying is that he's saying it to himself. I believe 100% and that's you're going to see that leadership that we believe and who's the leader of this team and we've all said it. We believe it's Riley Green. Well, now today in this game, first playoff game at home and however, embrace that. Take that energy in like like Kirk Gibson, you saw he's like tape, tame that tiger, tame that lion, whatever like that, embrace the moment. It's not too big and and that that's always what it is. So these guys put themselves. You're here for a reason. Embrace it. You got the city behind you. Use that. And if you use the energy properly, it's the greatest thing ever. I speak from experience. The way the way that you I expect America Park to be like Joe Louis Arena used to be. Right? And that's energy. And you're giving all that energy to the to the team, to the fans and they'll perform. No, absolutely. Tell us about Lady James. What's that perform? Like a like a haircut from ladies, James? Absolutely.

You got a suite? Who knows? He might. Is he taking the drop top Jack? Right. Is he taking a boat to the game? We didn't ask him before he lives. Yeah, we should have. Somebody text him and ask are you are you taking the boat, the drop top Jack, the helicopter, the heliport? Yeah. What are you rolling out on? Let's go rubbing Sparty has something in the chat here and subscribe to the Woodward sports YouTube channel, jump in there and get your thoughts out there. And it makes me think of a question that I want to ask. Torque is 0 for 12. Riley Green is blessed. Thank you. Torque is 0 for 12. Riley Green is two for 14 and we're three and one in the playoffs. That's wild. That's no, that's beautiful. That is absolute. You look at it that way is the fact is that you think these guys will be kept down and you're able to find a way to do it, which is apparent of how much they have to get it going now. But now is the time it hasn't hurt you. This is what playoffs is all about finding a way to win. But that that you like you can get through a best of three series with Jake Rogers being your best hitter or Wenzel Perez being a big guy. You can maybe even sneak through a best of five series without your big dog stepping up. But when you get the game seven game series, you're going to need those dudes to step up. And like I said, I think Riley Green's going to have a big day today. He's in my parlay. He's going up against the right. He is due. But I need to see it. I need it. I need it. Show us. Show us. Show us. You can get through it. You can get the best best of three wild card series. Yeah, you can get through that with Jake Rogers being your hero. But when you get to a best of five and especially a best of seven series, math takes over. You need your big guys to be big. The more games there are, the more math takes over. So it got me to thinking Freddie felt three, one, three, Neil Justin be like to America, Jeeves. And roll up the privacy window. Because I want to and this whole run is full of stuff like that, right? Like Parker Meadows, first opposite field home run since he was in high school is a grand slam to win a game against a guy throwing 103 to avert being swept. The whole tiger season is full of this. So I want to know what what do the people think for real? And I'm trying to think of a good way to verbalize this on the poll, Spenny, like, are the tigers good? Are they like really this good? Or are they on a heater? Just lucky? Is that what you're doing? Yeah, yeah, like just on a heater or on a heater. What are they more? Are they more good? Are they more just on a heater? I think the answer lies in between. No, no, there's only two answers to answer. If you if you got a pick one choices, are the tigers this good? Or are they just on a on a magic carpet ride heater? Both. You can't put you on to tell this book which one is a little bit above all the above. There's talent here. But at the same time, what they're doing is miraculous. To do it, you have to embrace like there's magic going on. Yeah, but they're making their own, but they're not making it happen because they believe they're manifest in their reality. And the more that they believe and more that they do it, the more the rest of baseball and baseball fans and people are taking notice. See Theo says luck doesn't last for months, which I agree with. So then they're good. So as you create your own breaks, and that's what they've done, but the situations are falling in, but they're putting in the right position. Like look at the other day, right? You pinch it carpenter in the six or seventh for Malloy at the top of the lineup. And it so happens that it comes around and you get two singles that he's up with two on two out in that opportunity to do that. Like that's just you got to create your own breaks. So I think it's beyond like the they're they're riding the magic, right? But it's also too through their hard work and making the right decisions. You know, that that's all it is. So I mean, it's it's bold to say that it's not, but I think more so now to the point of what the person just said about two months worth the magic is that this is more of who they are. Yeah, Neil, definitely who they are the way that they play. Right. This ain't smoking mirrors, but they figured away the figured away out, right? To win a game like they did the other day. That's what good teams do. Find that one hit. Yeah, Neil, I would say you can answer your own question. I know. And KG, like, look, I know I'm struggling with the answer. No, no, but answer your own question. Do you expect them to be back here next year and as currently constructed? Well, it won't be as currently because you know, they're going to change the team a little bit. But do you expect them to be back in years after this 2025, 2026? Yeah, because they got the best picture in the game. And I think that's what I'm leaning towards. Yeah, is they're good. Best picture, best man. If you expect them to get back and your best picture, best manager, if you're going to have expectations for them next year to win the central and to get back to the playoffs and to really pretty much be contended for a world series, then you got your answer. But like, 14 grit says it very well, says the pitching's the best in Major League Baseball. It's not a heater. The hitters are the best that $20 million can buy. So and that's, and that's fair. Like, that's a, that's a fair assessment. For me, like, I can't get very rarely in my life, especially when you do this for a living. Can I say that I don't know what to say? I don't, I don't know the answer. Right. I don't, I don't know the answer. Like, I don't think that their hitters are this good. I don't. But Derek Scooble is the best pitcher in baseball and AJ Hinch is the best manager in baseball. And when you have the best pitcher in baseball, you got a shot because you're never going to go on a, on a seven, eight game losing streak. Right. Because he's going to prevent you from that. But also too, is that the biggest difference, right, is the plate discipline or the at bats or make, you know, they, they're making these pitchers, like, earn these outs or they're making them pitch. They just don't throw away at bats. They fight to the end. When you're, when you're playing against a competition like that, that can wear down on you. Right. They don't know that they're not going away. So I think like so in 2024, is that more of the secret? Now imagine if you did have a bat, right? Like a real bat, like an Otani or a judge or a trout or something like that or Bryce Harp, where would you, where would that put you? But I think that they feed off each other. And it's about moments. There's no moment that is bigger than any one of them, even though how maybe minor of a player they are looked at, right? Because I mean, it's, it's, it's not the bad news bears, but it's sort of like the mighty ducks, right? Like, like under, under appreciated for what they do, because they just play baseball. They play baseball and they play it hard. And they make the outs when they need to, they get the pitches when they need to, they get the hits right now when they need to three and one in this series, when your best player is has been your best player, but your next two that you're counting on haven't showed up. I'll take it. And flannel. I got to address Sam flannel. You they've been battling Jesus Christ. Yeah, seeing that you said it earlier. Oh, Bobby Whit is worse. OPS than Riley Green so far. I don't give a shit. Oh, did you guys know that other stars have bad playoff games? It's not just him. I don't give a shit about other stars. I don't give a shit about Bobby Whit. I care about Riley Green and the Detroit Tigers. He needs to be better. I don't give a fuck what Bobby Whit's doing or what Aaron judge or what any of those guys are doing. He needs to be better. You can say that it's okay. I know he's your Messiah. It's okay to say he has not lived up to expectations so far and he needs to be better. Stop bringing up other shit. We're talking about Riley Green not Bobby Whit. Uh, Kalamazoo in the right. I'm not intended. I just got bars like that. Oh, by the way, you know, two of those royals wins in the playoffs. We drove in the run with the hit. Bobby Whit, you know, like that you got to have the moments like that you do. Uh, and then the chat Kalamazoo says we don't have Nick Maiton on the team anymore. We actually have players that belong in the big leagues, but then I look and Jake Rogers pretty much hit like Nick Maiton all all year. You know what I'm saying? Like the numbers are still there, everybody. He hit 197. So like that's it's why it's wild and I don't know the answer. Yeah, you know, I don't I don't know the answer. That's uh, that's what's really wild to me about it is I just I don't know the answer. Still just in the middle. But overall, they they do have talent. They are good enough to be here and they have a good enough pitcher and a good enough manager to be in this position. And that's fair. No, it it's absolutely fair. D.

How are you? Great man. Just glad to be here. Thank you for the invitation, guys. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. You got the sweatshirt on right there, so I see you out there. No, absolutely. It is a fun event. You've taken part in these, I played in these before. D-Mac has played in these before as well. Yeah, I got my butt kicked. Mario, you know, he might be the eyes of Thomas in our league, bro. That's my number number 11. There it is. That was my aspirations, but I don't think I got that good, but I'm I'm pretty good. No, no. How'd you get involved in it? Well, so my injury happened at 18 years old due to gun violence in Detroit, and I was introduced to the game by my mentor, a peer mentor, his name was Wei Ucola Sola. Eventually, he got me out. It took some co-hearsing, you know, to to get me out there, but he did, and the hook was that he was driving and I didn't know people with disabilities could drive. And I was like, wow, so I saw a life for myself. He got me out to the court. First time I just watched the intervention I got in the sports chair, and it was on from there. Absolutely. I joined by Mario Dixon here. He'll be taking part in the celebrity wheelchair basketball game that is presented by Priority Health. You can get your tickets at Ticketmaster as well. They got general mission seats out there. That's at Wayne State Fieldhouse tomorrow at 7 o'clock. Good, good celebrity lineup trick trick will be in the building. I'm Joey from Woodward Sports, just to name a few, but a lot of the local celebrities out there. You know, Mario, it's funny to me, because like I talked about, I played in this before, and like, it was one of the more eye-opening things I've ever done in my life, and I'm being real with you, man. Like, it was, yeah, but for real though, and it's something that I'm glad I got the opportunity to do because you don't know until you know. You know what I'm saying? It's about disability awareness, and that's what Reimagine Life Foundation, the sports ability, our wheelchair sports program falls up under, and that's where the wheelchair basketball team. We partnered with the Pistons a couple of years ago, and they lent us, let us use the name, and gave us some money, and you know, erasing funds, you know, not only for disability awareness, but you know, for people to know with disabilities that there is still life. You are still independent. You can still work, drive, raise a family. You know, it's not the end. You know, we just got to do things differently. So through our program with adaptive equipment, which is very expensive, you know, these fundraisers like the celebrity wheelchair basketball game helps a lot. Wilward Sports, chat thread, let's go revving Sparty. He wants to know he's got a question for you, Mario. Are you a three-in-D guy? We need one of those at LCA. What describe your game? So you know what? I'm not a three-point shooter, but my thing is I'm a hustler. I love defense. I love stopping the opposition. So the wheelchair basketball game, our game, the difference is 90% is really picking. So NBA has the picking role. Yeah. We really, we want numbers. So, you know, we're no lateral movement, right? But the thing is we want to get numbers. So we trying to pick the opposition off so we can create a, you know, a form three, you know what I mean, and come in and do good. So we go by the NCAA rules, but yeah, I meet, I'm a defensive person, but I love an offense. I love picking and keeping somebody back. You got to set the screen and get moving downhill. But I can score too. School basketball, bring it back. That's right. Yeah, the bad boys there. I'm from the bad boys there to say that, you know, maybe you come out now. Do you have special chairs that you use specifically? So, yeah, these are the difference between some people know a regular wheelchair and maybe even one that you use on the daily. What's the difference between a game chair? Thank you. That is great. Right there. So the chair that I'm in there, my everyday chair, it's basically, it's lightweight. It's more, you know, it's durable and everything. But our sports chairs, the difference is the wheels have a camber that goes out like a like a bow-legged type look. Oh, okay. It's a slant. So that's for the quick terms. See, I can't turn quick in the everyday chair because it's just, you know, the degrees of a camber is not deep as the sports chair. Also, you have the low back, the lightweight, and then we have click straps that, you know, strap is in really tight, you know. So some people, I'm paralyzed from the waist down. So from the belly button down. So I have pretty strong upper body core sub some of the and I'm a class two five. So it goes by classifications. So I'm like kind of like in a mental two five, I'm pretty strong upper body can push strong. Then it goes the highest is four five. So that's the amputees and them loss. You know, they have really good everything, motion with everything, they're strong. And the lowest is one. And that's the higher level paralyzed from the chest down. That means the chest strap to strap up because the balance is not there, but they're very strong, you know. That's awesome that every different level you find a way to be able to participate. Yeah, it goes by points, you know. So our games, you're allowed to have 15 points on the floor at all times. So that's how we added up through the points. So I'm a two five, you know, we try to, you know, just put it together. Yeah, we can't have a couple four fives. That's nine points right there. So, you know, we got to have five people out there. So, you know, unless you have three strong ones in, you know, on a two. So it, you know, we try to put together. Yes. So a lot of fun, very competitive, you know, can confirm. You guys aren't fooling around out there. Yeah. So you guys probably came, you know, away with, you know, hand burns, you know, and skin. What do you do about that? No, because I wanted to ask. So like, I shoot, I shoot from distance. Like that, that's kind of my thing. But I found like when I put the gloves on, I kind of lose the feel for the shot. You know what I'm saying? But you have to have the glove on. Yes. Your skin is going to burn on your hands. So the celebrities, we always, we, we encourage them to wear gloves. And the league, you can wear gloves to a certain degree, but it does take away from your shot to feel of the ball, you know. But me personally, it comes from repetitive, you know, yeah, always because you're pushing hard, you got to mind you. You're pushing very hard. You're going strong and then you're stopping at it, you know, so it's man, my hands, it took a couple of years to get challenged up exactly. Yeah, yeah, I'm such is life. Yeah, it's not good for the ladies. Join my Mario Dixon here. He'll be taking parties. One of the stars of the Reimagine Life Foundation celebrity basketball game going on tomorrow. Doors open at six o'clock Wayne State Field House. You can go to Ticketmaster. People are asking to in the chat 14 grit. I want to donate. Give me the link. You can go to rim foundation. You can go to the rim foundation website. Yep, absolutely. rimfoundation.org. You can get involved there. They have all the links that can get you everything again. So rimfoundation.com foundation.org. Very cool of you guys, by the way, to go ahead and get involved. Is, are you calling the game Neil? I am not. I'm actually, I was going to play and now I can't because I'm traveling with the Pistons to go out to Phoenix to do the game Friday. So Mario, I'm sorry man. I want it. I want it because I do. I love playing it because I've noticed that as well. The screen game is on point. Oh, yeah. And build your basket. Yes. He didn't want none of your smoke, bro. Pretty much. Pretty much. You know what? Neil probably would have been on my team. So, you know, he should have told him that. I would have pulled some strings. I've got to go travel. So, Neil, I'm like you. So, I'm not the three-point shooter, but eight, ten feet. I'm killing it. The middle. That's what I wanted to ask. Is it like, you know, like shooters have spots and NBA. Like do you, do you have certain guys with the, you have a certain spot where you like strong, the strong points and that's where you put out there. You want to put your strongest five out there. You want your three-pointer out there. You want your three-point shooter out there. You want your defensive players that's fast. That's very fast. That can, you know, can hold people bad, you know, on defense. But you also want somebody with a little height that can be down low for the boards, for the rebounds, you know. Me, you know, I like to work with the big fella. So, for instance, the center, I will probably go on the right, you know, coming down. I'll go on the right now, work with the big fella, right? So, I want to seal them in. So, I'll come in like, hey, I'll probably say up, up. You know, I'm coming up top to seal off the top. So, I'll come down fast like I'm going low, but I'll cut to the left and he'll come right behind me because I'm, I'll seal this man off. He's right in the middle, right down low, boom. So, you know, so I like sealing, you know, and also getting behind him and getting that nice, you know, that banker off, you know, calling glass on somebody and, you know, I love that. I love killing the glass. No. Well, Mario, we do. We appreciate you stopping by. You know, you have me, man. Oh, for sure. Absolutely, Mar for sure. Absolutely.

I mean, I can run up and down the court. That's really all you need at this age, right? You really in there banging banging in for boards and stuff. I see you as the outlet wingman. Yeah. I see you're the guy. When I play three guys off, I got to get it out. Yeah, he's going to be shooting the corner three or he can find the cutter. I prefer the wing. I prefer the wing. Yeah. You might get three rebounds. Yeah. Because it comes one rebound to him on the wing. Yeah. No, I can block a shot too. I put you at 14. Three and three. That's that's about accurate. Yeah. It's about on four threes and two free throws. So that it that is about accurate. Just keep shooting four or five from the line. Yes. Woodward sports chat thread jump into there. I don't care what you have to say about politics. Those get ignored and we just keep it pushing lions cowboys. I'm going to try to talk lions again. I know it always comes back, but I will say this. This buy came at the perfect time DMACC. All 53 men on the roster practiced yesterday. It's time. Isn't it? It's getting lost, DMACC. It's time to make the move. Okay. So it's time, whatever like this, which is the brilliance of making the decisions to keep Frank Ragno out last game, the offense getting going even without Frank Ragnon. You think that he's not like, Oh, hey, guys, I missed out on the party last week and stuff like this just goes to show me that everybody from the training staff to the management to the players are all clicking on the same same page. But now yes, you got to make a statement. This is Dallas Cowboys. You want to be America's team Detroit? Go go absolutely and punk them punk Dallas in Jerry's, Jerry land. And you know, it's about time. You need to put, you need to put a beating on Dallas Cowboys and the perfect opportunity coming off a buy with the injuries that they have, especially in their secondary means that I expect this offense to keep cooking like they did last week or right before the buy week and stuff like this. Biggest thing for me, I'd like the fact to hear you're going to get Brian branch back. Right. If he's practicing for office concussion and stuff like this, solidify that backfield. You know, a little bit because you could see how, you know, we missed him. But other than that, that's, that's, that's, isn't this exactly what you want to hear on a Wednesday after a buy week before everything else? That just means that they're making all the right choices to right to get everybody back in practice because they're not going to put anybody out there that shouldn't be out there. And for me, DMACC, another reason I see it's time for them to make their move like everybody's healthy. You look at the schedule, right? You're at Dallas, which, you know, it's a tough game. It's a tough game. So can I just say, when you say make their move, now it's time to make the statement of that we're here. It's the statement part of the schedule. Why? Because here's who you face in the next few weeks. You got Dallas, Minnesota, then who? Uh, then you're home against the Titans. That's your gimme, but then you're at Green Bay and you're at Houston. So, so there you go. The only way is through. Because I heard some people complaining about the schedule and like, what a tough run it is and stuff like that. Like guys, again, much like playoff baseball, a lot's happened since we've been good the last time. This is the fallout of when you're good. You play the schedule like this. And you know what? So what? So what? And odds tell you you're going to lose one of those games. Sure, right? We'll be seven and two after nine. Absolutely. Or like, even if it goes really bad, they could be three and two, six and three. Yeah, ooh. You know what I'm saying? Like, again, we, I don't want to see people act in new money. You know, I guess, I guess that's the point that I want to make. No, it's time to make a statement. No, it is. It's a tough setup and it's a tough go. But again, man, good. The only way is through good. I'm happy with this. I'm happy with this setup right now. I like where they're at. Once you get through the Texans, you got the Jaguars, you're at the Colts, then you got three home games in a row, the Bears, Packers and Bills. Let's go. It's it's time to it's time to take control now, DMACC. And it starts on Sunday. Absolutely. Great time to get healthy. No, it is. It just, I'm so excited about that. That there's everybody's back. And I know, like, my buddy, Terminal Dennis, I was one that submit when the schedule came out, he's like, man, I hate this early by. Thank God for this early by. Thank God, man, because it got perfect timing for everything going on in the in the city, too, right, where everybody's locked in on everybody else. That's that's when the city's pumping when we could pay full attention to each one of the teams that to deserve our undivided attention. Well, we're sports chat thread. Don't do the political stuff, by the way. Cat spot. That's a delusional take by like when he starts with delusional. The lions are not better than last year. Holmes did nothing to improve the team. You're right. The draft doesn't come. Are you an idiot? The past defense. Like serious. I'm out of here. Oh, my God. Somebody diary. Oh, it's cat diarrhea in the chat again. Clean up on all two. How does he feel that shit again? Right, so much. Somebody clean up this mess. That is absolutely ridiculous. Hold on. It gets better. The past defense isn't good enough in the NFC door. Oh, no, it's not. It's much stronger now. Whatever. Guys, and look for the rest of the back on a Tim. Yeah. For the rest of the people, like he's not a plant. He's not. He's not. He's actually a human who believes what he says. Yeah. I mean, it might not be a human. And he's a lawyer. Yeah. He's an expert handicapper. Absolutely. What a what a life. At least he's consistent, though. Oh, oh, fucking four shows. What a life. That's second. Hey, that's not better. Expert sports handicapper, by the way, four hundred and fifty dollars. Get out of here. Oh, excellent. They'll be fast. Mike G cats overdose on the Cialis again. Oh, come on. Come on. I don't know if you're getting that lucky. No, no, that that is it. Tyler Shants, no Nico Collins for the Texans game. He got put on IR today. That's what I'm talking about, guys. Yeah, put on IR. Yeah. That's probably that's probably a tear then, right? Yeah. So that's probably a hamstring tear. See, guys, what I'm talking about? The music's not so loud for the Texans this year, is it? It's not. This is how this league, what you survive this league, you don't dominate. Like anybody talking about the fact that Patrick Mahomes leads the league in interceptions. No, they're undefeated. They don't care. They don't care how it looks. All right. It doesn't matter if the reps are on their side. It doesn't matter. You got it. They're undefeated period in the story. Yeah. So again, man, that's, uh, that's where it is. That's where it is for this team. We go with the top five when we come back. Yeah, we should be my my photo. We know. Don't don't do that. Don't do that. Uh, we should be. Okay. Yeah. Well, hey, let me tell you about Katie K law.

Oh, you hold it down like this. High school days. All right. That wreaks of a defensive lineman right there. That was the McComb area comp. You know, that was during two days. I was leading the stretches, you know, Captain duties. Okay. I've rolled up the shores and pulled the jersey. That was my say no pants. No, I got the shorts rolled up on there. All right. Number five. This one's a little specific because I don't hate either of these chores by themselves. Like if I just got to cut the grass, it's all right. Whatever. I'll cut the grass. Just got to pick up the dog shit. All right. Whatever. I'll pick up the dog shit. But picking up the dog shit before I cut the grass is specifically. Yeah. It's just like it's a crappy part. Yeah. It's a bad part. It's a bad part. Exactly. Because usually you get a get a heated steerer. Yeah. Don't let it be loose. Or you forget one. You forget one of your running old growth a lot more. Right. Like shit everywhere. This shit everywhere is a wheel. You're like, ah, yeah, that's my number five and number four. Putting new sheets on my annoying area noise. Is your bed tucked in the corner of the room? Oh, yeah. That's the worst. You got to jump over there. Yep. Yeah. Pull it off the wall. Oh, yeah. I like I this is the best return by far because sleeping in a bed with fresh sheets is what is the best. So by far, the best return. But putting new sheets on the bed sucks. Number three, cleaning the bathtub specifically. Yeah. You got to, you know, sprinkle the oxy clean on there. Wait for it to break down a little bit and take the little scrubber and scrub the shit out of it. Clean the bathtub sucks. Taking your break in your back. Yeah. And number two. And you can do it well. You got to get it. You got to get in there. You got to get in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Number two worst chores. Calling an Uber for your mother when I'm dumb with her at the end of the night. You know, like she makes, she'll make me some food. Yeah. All right. Make me some food, make me a plate, whatever. Then I got to call her an Uber. It's just annoying. Someone said you're where Uber is an app, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. It's annoying. But I got a guy that knows your mom comes over every time specifically. So we cut out the middleman. I call my boy Chester and he comes and pulls up. And he takes your mom home. And then a number one laundry. Hate doing laundry. It is the worst. I will. I will sit there with dirty laundry or clean laundry unfolded the entire time. I hate laundry. No, and more on laundry as as the list move on. I have a specific part of laundry that that I do not like. Oh, let's go Red Wing Sparty. Honorable mentioned trying to get KG's top five list. It is an annoying task. I hate you. Do we have boots on the ground yet with it? No, we skip over KG. It is what it is. Baddings second today. You said he was ready. Whoever's ready. Second alive today is going to have a big game. Number five, spending rate with the laundry. Nobody likes laundry. Just takes up time. Yeah. And then you forget you left it in the dryer, the washer. And then you got to rerun it stupid. Oil changes. Just having to go get oil change. You got to literally take an hour and play it aside. And then you got to wait there. And then there's a line. It's just like BS oil changes like dishes. Everybody hates doing dishes. I don't know what's on it like a dishwasher. And I'm not even saying that. Just dishes. It's just especially stuck on food. Always get some money on you. Yeah, it's gross. Raking leaves, as we said yesterday, not a fan. Just especially just not a fan. I'm more into raking trees, I guess. That's the new thing. I'm putting that in play. And number one, in case you can't read it. Let me pull it up. Hold on. All right. Going back downstairs to turn lights off because the responsible humans think everything runs on air downstairs. You're up in bed tucked in there. And do you can you go turn the lights up? Because it's not just the kids. And I'll say it, my white don't watch this show. Either it's her, he's a Gaston lights on. And not even that. How do you leave the basement lights on? I don't know, D-Man. Irritating. It's right when you're comfy. Right when you get into that. Oh, and then it's like I'm effort. So I don't know D-Man. When you're married, I thought my first name was Ken. Yeah. I might legally change it. Can you? Right. Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you, Ken, you. For stuff that they could just get up and walk fast. That's what I'm, yeah. That is the most annoying shit. Can you get, we're in the kitchen. And I'm like putting dishes away out of the dishwasher or something. And can you get the olive oil out of the pantry? You're closer to the pantry than I am. Right. You're right. I feel you pay. Okay. Because I'm not doing anything. You're literally closer. I'm not doing anything. Right. I'm not doing anything right now. That's my, I can't, if I sit on my ass or not trying to fall asleep. Wyatt Bear on KG's list number five, making top five list. That's fair. Hey, John. We don't have it yet. No, no, no. Okay. All right. There it is. That's the line up. Then here we go. Batting third. All right. My top five worst. The homecoming picture. Look at that. You was in love. Look at the looking at you. So homecoming picture. Smitten, man. It's funny how she's here with this list right now. That's pretty, that's pretty hard. Breaking news from this one is almost unbelievable.

Offer subject to change. Terms apply. Chronic, as a matter of fact. Number five, dusting. Dusting sucks. Yeah. Hate it. And the reason I hate it. And then you sweep right after. You never really get hurt at the other part of it. You're never going to get it. You're never going to sweep right after. And the person on that picture is going to come over and analyze it. Like she's doing DNA for a special investigation. She is not a wife of this. Yes, I'm using it. Bye! The move plays. Smokey food. She's going to follow her. And then she's going to be like, did you dust this? Did you dust that? Plus, she's like a clutter. Like pictures everywhere. Right? Come on, man. That's got to dust each one of those pictures. And she's going to come around and just, I'm just telling you guys. Oh, by the way, yes, I heard you in the chat. Honorable mention for me cleaning out the garage. That sucks too. Number four, washing dishes. Again, related to the person on the picture. Normal people just put their pans in there. Like I'll, I get pretty in depth at like, like a dish. Like I'll hit the hit it with the scraper and everything. Get it pretty clean, set it in there and be on the way. Normal people will put their pans in there. Like do the same treatment. She doesn't like that. She wants the pans to be hand washed. Oh my God. So the pan's got to be hand washed. So I hate that ish. Because there's a more convenient alternative, huh? You don't put pans in the washing machine. Yes, you do. Stainless steel pans? Yes. Oh, you got a hand washed pan. No, you don't. You scrape the hard stuff off it. That's what I'm saying. They make good dishwashers. That doesn't even, you know, it doesn't take that long. You just take the soft side of a sponge, throw some, no, spending shut up. No, you had your list. Then why on the, please be quiet. Why on the cascade commercial? They throw in the pans in there. Yeah. Because they don't, they don't even do it. They take it off the bar with you and throw in the pan. They don't even get a washing machine or they never start the dishwasher either. They just put them in there. And I'm seeing them start it. Just let me wash the pans. Let me live. All right. Which takes me to number three, making dinner. I don't like making dinner because I don't like washing the pans. That's fair. I actually enjoy cooking. I enjoy making dinner. I got a walk. We're throwing stuff in there. Like I do enjoy it, but I don't enjoy it. Because I don't enjoy number four. They're related to each other as a matter of fact. All right. These Shaquille oatmeal got a hand washed the pans. Pull, hand wash the pans. Yes or no? No, you don't. All right. It's 2024. You got a hand wash your pans. That's what I'm saying. Play has says please do a pull. I think you will be surprised how many people hand wash pans. They're cast iron. You have to hand wash. No, you don't even wash cast iron. Cast iron, you don't wash. Like my walk is cast iron. I love it. But anyway, I'll wear was I. Oh, number two, folding laundry. I actually like doing laundry. I like it because I can take that whole pile, throw it in there. And I feel like I'm doing something. You know what I'm saying? Like that whole load? But then the bill comes due. And you got to fold up. You got to like I hang up shirts and stuff like that. But you got to match up the socks and fold up the underwear and fold up the shorts and all that stuff. I hate folding laundry. And there's always a massive pile that you have to fold. Do you do the store fold or do you do like just the made up fold that you like? How do you fold? I'm not like my wife. I'm not like thinking that I'm working at Champ Sports. And someone looked at, you know, I don't have the folding board. Oh, you just go. You just go. You give it a one. Art sleeve. Art sleeve. Yeah, fold it over once. Yeah, go like this. Boop. But it's still a shark. No, I don't like fold mushrooms though. It still sucks. Number one, driving the kids around. They're always softball. Soccer. That's your old fault. Jujitsu. Like it. You signed up for that. It's insane. And that's facts. But it doesn't change the fact that it's I do it. I'm a pro. Like I'm a professional. I know what I signed up for. But it still sucks. That's fair. That's fair. It's still sucks. You ain't got to like it. Hey, like an NBA player. Still got to go to Salt Lake City. It sucks. Hey, I'm collecting that chick. They're going to Cleveland. They're, you know, they're happy they're playing in the league for a living, but you still got to go to Salt Lake City. And it sucks. True. And we do have KG's list. Oh, at the buzzer. Not getting at the buzzer. Bang! Bang! All right, KG, your list. All right, man. Coming in at number five. It is laundry, man. Of course, I'm not fortunate enough yet to have my own washer and dryer. We got a whole basement situation. So still got to go to laundromat. And you can imagine just what you said. Yeah, but you know what though? Laundromat's low key. You can do it all at once. You can. But it depends on the day you go. And it seems like every day now, there's 10,000 people in the fucking laundromat. All right. So in convenience, man. Number four, mowing the lawn. And, you know, I like the little moors that you can sit on and pause. That you, you know, you sit on a drive around. But if you still got the old school, you take the bag out and all that, it's an inconvenience. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Number three, the good old basement clean out. Because you never know what the fuck you gonna find. Close cousin to the laundry cleaner. Yeah, garage clean out stuff. Every spring, the wife wants to go down there. Oh, we need to clean out the basement. No, we don't. You don't even go down there. 364 days out the effing year, you don't want to go into basement. But now all of a sudden, you want to go down there and clean. Number two, raking the leaves. And I mean, raking the leaves, it's pretty self-explanatory. I already gave up on my lawn. Plus it's cold out usually. Just like dusting, you're never getting them all. Yes, no chance. And they'll be back the next day. With a fresh supply. If you leave leaves on the lawn, they end up disappearing by the time spring rolls back. That's true. When the land, I'm just saying, like where do they go? And at number one, the most hated shore of all time, you can't tell me a person that likes to do dishes. I don't even like putting them in the dishwasher. I'll do it, but not my thing. I do dishes over laundry. Oh, yeah. Well, eh, that's tough. Well, we're at Sports Chat. A lot of people have thoughts on it. These Shaquille Oatmeal folding laundry should be number one on everyone's list. Out of everything in the world, we don't have technology. It can just fold laundry for us. That's true, man. The ski mask, boy, try folding your thongs and putting them away based on color. How do you fold it? Have you ever tried to fold a hoodie? No, I hang those up. Hang those up, yeah. Absolutely. I like my favorite part about laundry is when I just got my underwear and socks that I just, I don't fold those. I just throw them in the drawer. I know I got the underwear in the middle and then the socks on both sides. My top drawer, so. Do you, are you team same socks? Like you have the same socks? I have. I've been wearing a lot of underarmored socks. I do, I got underarmored Nike, Jordan, and then this girl bought me some Lululemon socks. I'm actually wearing them today. Very comfortable, yeah. Yeah, they were 30 bucks for the pair. Yeah, she was like, yeah, she was like, I bought you a pair of Lululemon socks. There's like three pairs of socks. It's like 40 bucks. Yeah, I've got the Lululemon socks. Designer over there. A tour. I have OCD and anal retiniveness, so all these cleaning things are my daily calm zones. You guys would love to have me as a college roommate. I agree. Hey, you're going to take care of all that, right? Yep. Me and the boys are going out. Freddie felt, why in the hell does a dryer always buzz when it's a crucial part of the game? So annoying. It does. Ours too, like we got this new one, and I wasn't prepared for it. It goes, dinnin it, dinnin it, dinnin it. And then like three minutes later, it's like, dinnin it, dinnin it, dinnin it. God. Oh, I hate it. I hate the sound of it, man. It's awful. It's awful.

Joel, did anyone have breaking down boxes from your wife's Amazon purchases on there? Oh, that's annoying too. That is annoying. Aaron to the- Hanging out the trash. I think that's like a minor inconvenience though, because it's always like at night, I'm home for the day already. I've been home for a little while. I don't just want to- I already got the shoes off and everything. Yeah, walk outside, put it on the curb, come back in. All right. Gotta make the second trip. If you try to, you know, the recycling bins too fully, try to do the one arm and the other arm, and up drop and something. What is the obsession of waiting until I'm comfortable to ask me to do something? Literally, I'll come through the door, still have my clothes on and everything for like two hours. So does I change it to the shores. Okay, you do this. Okay, you do this. It's so annoying. So annoying. Can you? Aaron to the stone. Fellas, I'm being 100% legit serious. I love doing the dishes. It's therapeutic AF. In fact, I'll often leave them overnight, look forward to waking up the next day, knowing they're waiting for me. You're lying. Yeah. I'm not lying. I do feel the same way about mowing the lawn though, D-Mac. I like mowing the lawn. I like mowing the lawn. Legit, I like it. So do I. Not picking up the dog shit though before. Top five cup sizes or dinosaurs. Says James, give me either. Top five cup sizes. That's a good one. Medium large. That's, I was going to say like. XL, D, D. Double D's a little too much sometimes. Yes. I bet it is. Solid D's. I love a piece of double D's. I mean, yeah, it's not wrong with that. But I think D's are just perfect. See, I was thinking right in my hand perfectly. I was thinking the pint glass. Sixteen ounces of pint. It's perfect. It's perfect amount of beer. So I'm good with B-man. Regular old D's. Like double D's are great too. But they can be a little much tight. You didn't get in it. It's nice to lay it off. Abs and shit like that. Like a G's. As he's. But these are perfect. Like I said, perfect size right in the hand. Throw some D's on that B. D-Mac, you in tomorrow? Thursday, yeah. Yeah, you're okay. So we're both, we're both in it tomorrow. Um, Chambalisian and Flannel will be here on Friday. Oh, shout out. Oh, so uh, hell of a lineup. Yeah. Hell yeah. I'm going to put some heavy Michigan topics out there. Nickel package. Have Sean get Flannel going crazy? Double dose of uh, Michigan nickel packages. Yeah. The best cup size I've ever had the pleasure of was 34 double. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Are you kidding me, dude? Burberry Friday. Friday. Okay. Wake, wink, nudge, nudge. He's not going to be here. Oh, yeah. Sean and none. Yeah, you're right. Nevermind. The bourbon will be here though. Yeah. I can't drink the bourbon without Niodo. Uh, can you put it on the NFL nickel package, by the way? Will this be the week that Patrick Mahomes doesn't throw an interception? I got you. As we go into week seven. Probably not. He's got six interceptions. He needs a league. Ooh. Yeah. He's tied with Will Levis. Ooh. For the league league. Gross. Let that res, but they are undefeated. They keep winning. No, they do. Um, D-Mac, how are you feeling, man? Is we get ready for that Tigers game today? I'm feeling good. I am too. I know I'm feeling good. I mean, this is what we've waited for. This, you know, this team's, you know, if you watched the Lions last year, come into their own with, with who they are, right? And then what we're seeing is sort of who they are. They got to polish it up and whatever, but it's that grit, right? The same thing. The grittiness is as rolled over, obviously, too. You want, you look at the shirts that the Tiger guys wear, but they play with grit. That's, that's the theme of this town. It's right back, baby, and it's gritty, gritty city. So I expect, I expect an offensive output today. I really do. I do too. Like I got to see it. Especially early. I think they get to Cobb early. There's got to be a crooked number on that scoreboard, man. Seven. Got to be. Cobb ain't somebody that's going to beat you with it. I took the over seven. Seven four. I took the over seven for the game. You know what just kind of popped in my head? You know earlier, we were talking like, are they lucky? Are they good? You said the pole finished pretty much 50-50, which we never had a pole be 50-50 here. You know what I'm kind of thinking about? Maybe the Tigers are a good playoff, because we talked about how it's two different games. Maybe the Tigers are a good playoff team and not a good regular season team. Well, how can you say that they last too much? Because they were doing the same. Should they do it in the playoffs? Because it was, it was essentially playoff. They were playing a playoff style of baseball. Like with the rotation and stuff like that. Look at it. Because I don't, is that sustainable DMACC for them to play? They did it for two months. Like, is it sustainable to play that style of baseball? With essentially-- I think they've proven it. But can you do that from April 1st to October 1st? No, I don't know. I guess we'll find out what the plan is next year. But right now, no, you can't do it. They surely can do it to the end of October. Yeah. And that's kind of what popped in my head. Because like, when you get to this new style of baseball, again, look at the Dodgers. Look at the Guardians. The Guardians life hangs in the bet like this great season where, remember as I always talked about this, as hot as the Tigers got, they still finish what? Eight back of the Guardian. Like they never gained ground on them. This great season Cleveland had, and won the division title and all that stuff. Their life is in Alex Cobb's hands. Yeah. The Dodgers, the same story. They got softball pitchers out there. And they're up against it. It could be over for the Dodgers. The Yankees in game two, Carlos Rodon. That's who's determined in your fate. Yeah. And for the Tigers, like with the day off, I think TV and the playoffs has helped the Tigers with the day off in between the games. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You get the travel day as well. When you stretch this out, and I haven't looked at the schedule, I don't believe, are there games three straight days? You talk about this stretch? Talk about the next level. Oh. The divisional series is a five game series, and then out into the set. Do they play three games in a row? I don't think so. I'm guessing not. Yeah, I don't think so. Because TV wants the exclusivity. That helps the Tigers. That's true. Is your bullpen guys, Russ? Because you can just keep churning out the same bullpen guys. They are beating people by volume, and that's what's different about what the Tigers are doing. So I think they could sustain if you have enough pieces. Oh, shit. Happy birthday to Hank. Hey, happy birthday. Hank's birthday today. All right, shout out. The OA fan will be so nice to hear hockey talk back on Woodward sports. Yeah, tomorrow. Tomorrow. Opening day. Yeah. Take the day off work. Skip work. Yeah. For the second day in a row. Do it. Just go all in. I'm just breaking news coming in from bet three six five. Where every nail biting over time win break away.

A 14 grit cob only 16 and 13 inch pitch the entire season at the major league level. Not no doubt. We're going to get into the hockey tomorrow. I'll crack the knuckles and get in there and I think that we're going to go. Should we just get the conflict out of the way in the early hockey talk tomorrow? You already know what's going on. I don't know what's the conflict. You know what it's going to be D-Mac. Oh Stevie White. I was her plan. This thing is. Why does he get nine years to rebuild the team? I don't have the energy now. So you can have fun on the show talking. If you don't understand the process. What was announced today is Billy Houssos earned the starting role. Billy Houssos starting in gold tomorrow. Okay. So the competition there. I was hoping Cam tell about what it seems like. Because technically last year this year and even in the next year, our foundation, it's not linear. The playoffs aren't linear. That's not a goal. Right. Yes. It's a stepping stone and stuff like this. Does this team, I'm wondering where they're going to get the offense. Right. So you're going to see a couple guys. See, I'm reversed. What's that? I'm not worried about the offense at all. Okay. You worry about gold. I'm reversed on that. Yeah. Yeah. Joe, we'll get into it tomorrow. We're going to have a good time. Can we talk like the general NHL for one segment? Can I, can we do that? Please. Of course you can. Or is everybody going to flip out? Everybody will leave. Sure you can do it. Yeah, sure. Everyone's going to leave. Oh, for sure. Awesome puck kids in here. But I thought this was hockey town.

With the return of hockey comes Ray Ferraro in the national broadcast person. I'm not a fan of his commentary. Any stories with him as a player. Remember him playing? And I think he was at Hartford. And so like the beginning of the 90s, competitive. I think it was in LA too. Like hard work or competitive, you know, same sort of energy as he gives off being a broadcaster. And yeah, he's a smart guy. He knows his stuff. What's that? He has tone as a broad. He's got tone. But that's sort of how he played. High energy guy, good player.

I played-- somebody brought to my attention yesterday that I played two full seasons of playoff hockey, right? Like, that's 82 games. That's 164 games. You know what I'm saying? So it's a different mentality when you say play. Like, regular season of playoffs are different, but it's a mentality of being prepared to play. I think what I love to vote playoffs, it was just about puck drop. And having Scotty Bowman as your coach, he didn't-- whatever you needed to do to prepare, to be ready to be the best player you can be. So travel, you know it, Neil, and different things like that. You got to learn how to adjust yourself to your sleep habits, or eating habits, and stuff like this. And when you do that and when everybody does that, and everybody's on the same page, then you can be successful. But it's got to be a tough playoff hockey. One of the Stanley Cups, the hardest thing, and just getting there is another one. Do-boy Steve, I'll start following the wings when I don't have to pay ballys to watch them.
