The number one midday show in Detroit is on. Welcome to big D energy. Yo yo yo. What's going on, buddy? Welcome back to another episode of Big D Energy. Big D. Clinching day. Clinching day. All time this season opener. Let's go. Yup. My name is Neil Rule that guy. That's D Mac Darren McCarty. We got KG in the house KG. What's good? What's good is the guardians aren't leaving Detroit today and it's great. It's not just good. It's great. They Finsta. They Finsta. It's uh it could all go down today. Chase is hanging out in the building. Chase is my guy. Yeah, how's it going guys? Good man. What's up with you? Now Bosch is here. I got the day off from the full-time job just hanging with the boys in the studio before do a good day of sports. I like it. It is a good day of sports. Um FJ 1967. Jump in that Woodward Sports chat thread and get your thoughts out there. Neil looking fly today. We got bit. We got business. You know, you know what it wasn't and just a little bit. I think this conversation is applicable for what we're going through here because Chase got into it. Me and spending. I was over here and uh Chase and spending before talking about different experiences. Now Brady would our our marketing dude and everything came in yesterday down at the ballpark. Anybody who is there says the loudest. He's ever heard a stadium and stuff like that. Which got Chase to talking about different bucket list places that he's been to. Right there. Have you been to Lambo Field? I have toured it. I've never been there for a game. So Chase was there when the Lions won sitting in the Lions section talking about, you know, that sort of experience. He was saying we got opening night for the wings tonight, which will be electric down there. But a new team out in Utah. We were talking about uh wings. The hockey club and the hockey club. The sole soccer Saturday, right? The soldiers they're playing out there March. So what an electric time in the city to go to to events and it's not even just here here at home brought up a great point, man. Chase's team on the road. We traveled so well back in the day on the road was sort of like home games. I can't bring it up enough. Right. So as this Detroit team goes further in the playoffs. Yeah, as as the Lions continue to go as the Red Wings. The way that the Detroit fans travel and show up, it means something. So it's just as big for everybody going downtown today, you know, to try to get this clincher for the baseball game that may be going over. Excuse me to the home opener tonight. But the fact is everybody's getting ready, making plans, getting ready to travel. I just brought that up because like back in the day and the biggest one, Neil, the biggest one that I remember was 98 when we won in Washington. And there's probably 18,000 people in the stands and 12,000 were wings fans. So not like I said, Detroit's back, baby, and get ready, pack your bags, get traveling because this, you know, start making your playoff plans for the next round. I mean, that's and that's what Detroit fans do. And that's what I love about it. We don't just talk about it. Sit back, watch it on TV. We go and we show up. So I thought that was that was pretty cool for those experiences. No, no question about it. And MLB put a post on their Twitter account. And it was just I think it was along the lines of Comerica Park is an electric factory. And you could heat when it was when Torkelson got the double and the cry it was deafening over a phone. The TV broadcast didn't do it justice, I felt. And that's what I heard too, because yesterday my son had district playoffs for soccer, which coincided with it. So I had it on the phone and I was watching it. But I'm not one of these people that like, you don't want to listen to what I'm watching on my phone, like people on my immediate circle. You don't. So I do this weird thing where I turn the volume off. Yeah. Like I'm stupid like that, apparently, because nobody else does. But whatever I digress. Yeah. Well, we're sports chat thread. Uh, Phil, I came here to get yelled at by Neil, say something stupid, Phil, and we'll jump in there and get after it. Now, Phil, I'm playing. You're a valued member. You feel you're a valued member of the community. And Neil, yes. You know, old jar hat says Neil, Neil, like, looks like a nerd DMACC beat up back in the day. I was like, no, wrong. He was the guy that did my homework. Well, it's clear, you don't beat up guys. Absolutely. You utilize them for all this. And DMACC was the guy that gave me 20 bucks to do the homework. Absolutely. It was an economic transaction and made sure and made sure you're scrolled down the hall every day was uneventful. I offered a service. You offered a service. We came to a monetary agreement and it all worked for everybody. When it like we could almost like play that story out that we like like I was held back whole bunch of years and we didn't go back together. All right, all right, all right. Sometimes you just got to get them, get you a man that could do you both. Exactly. There you go. Well, speaking of that Spencer Raxter in the building as well. Hello. Now, I'll say this. I'll say this. Spenny's going to be in the building tonight. I am. Spenny's going down with an agenda tonight. I am. Spencer Raxter is a guy that you want to seek out in Comerica Park because the aura, the energy, what this man's going to bring, not only to Comerica Park, but to downtown Detroit as a whole to this game and to this city. Spencer Raxter is somebody you want to affiliate yourself with this afternoon into the evening. When this shows over the chair, spin in right there. I'm right off the door. I got to just stop at Caicos down the street, grab a little pack of those tequila highnoons, run right to my boy's place, parking there, going to tear up that parking lot for a little bit until my other friend gets down there and we're going to hit second best. From second best, we're going to the block party in front of Comerica or a raging all night. Be a part of it. I'm devastated. I have to miss this. I would move my calendar around to be a part of this. Unfortunately, I cannot be there and I'm crushed. Shout out to my boy, my boy Scott, shout out Scotty. He texted me during the game what the game to in Cleveland and he's like, you want to get tickets for game four? 250 apiece. I was like, I don't know. I'll let you know. And then as soon as Carrie hit that home run, I texted him back. I was like, yeah, let's do it. He's like, I bought him four hours ago. That's a real friend. Same tickets that we got are going for 600 a pop right now. Yeah. Not bad. Not bad. You're approaching that territory for me. Can't do it. Yeah. Can't do it. Economic transactions sell the tickets for 600 by standing room for 150 still get to go in the game. There's also not everybody the option that outside because obviously moves the wings opening game back. The Tigers games at six to wings home openers at eight. We're doing a bunch of stuff over there, but they're playing it on that big plaza screen. So there'll be a party going over at LCA outside. That's where I'm going to be hanging out watching. Finally, we have an event worthy of being played on the big screen outside LCA. I think this is like it, right? You know what? That's such a great point because when I leave the game and I walk out and everybody knows that if you don't keep my attention, that I'm leaving early and I walk out there and I stand and listen and to the game going on inside. What a great place on a nice night. Like just to listen to hear the game. I always find myself standing there, you know, until there's a whistle or something like that. But it's going to be absolutely rocking in this. Hey Amazon Prime members, why pay more for groceries when you can save big on thousands of items at Amazon Fresh?

Like this is you like so you're going to be turned up to a point where like you're trying to get to the point where there's a method to the madness about getting your prep in and everybody getting their prep in so that A, your energy levels right there. You got all your cheers in. You got everything else. Is there is there as a professional spending? Is there a secret? My game plan for this game is to walk into Comerica Park at a 10 for the night. Because I'm not going to be leaving my seat very often to go get beers and stuff like that throughout the game. So I'm trying to go in there fully loaded ready to go. Smart. And then as the game goes on, as I eat a couple hot dogs, it starts going down and down. Yeah. And so by the end of the game, I'm level. I got the glizzies the way out the beer and I'll be perfect. It's a chemistry game. You go walk back to my boy's house, chill there for an hour and a half, sleep there if I have to do what you got to do. If I got to, I could just write down a little bird so I could just sleep there, come here for B.D. tomorrow and then go home and change and shower after B.D.E. before heavyweights. It's a chemistry game as much as anything everybody and today the professionals know that your system self aware. Yes. That's it. Right. Be the best because did you not and I know we're going to get into it? But the fans and the atmosphere and everything we talked about yesterday was an impact to that game yesterday. So bring your best game again. You got to listen to fans. You talk about the players having back to back games. This is your back to back. It's a playoff time. We need you again. Everybody's got to be prepared. We need that same energy and vibe. It really popped through out of anything on TV. Yes. It was it was absolutely incredible despite despite TBS's best efforts to hold us down. Fix them crowd mics, man. I don't understand it. Come on, bro. Yes, Joe flow. I did get a haircut. Rachel, lady James. Rachel from the Birmingham store. Rachel from you may have heard of her on the radio spot. Yeah, an inch and a half off. Just just to clean up quick. No, did he? Elgato.

Yeah. Yeah, he's strong. He's a vet of the game. And if y'all see my boy down there, y'all sponsor my boy. Yeah. I don't. Hey, sexual. If you guys want to send some beers, you said you want to spend it. Yeah, but you 123 row 29. You want to send some beers that way or come down and say hi, I'll be back. No, absolutely. No, but but it is. Um, Tammy Chin in the chat. If you're heading downtown today, be safe. Yeah, Tammy. Hope Dan's doing well. Yes. Absolutely. Slappy 313 in the Wilbert sports chat. I actually put a comment on that I debated for a while last last night. He said, spending about to make America Park toilet Chernobyl. So I worked out this morning, you know, get prepaid to get the workout done. And then I, because I'm going to party all night. So I drank the protein and, you know, like 30 grams of protein. Oh boy, that's aggressive. You don't, if you don't eat on protein, you'll have the worst shit to your wife. 100 percent. And normally when I work out in the morning, I come here, I get a bagel. I get a coffee. I was like protein, coffee, plus a bunch of beers. That's not going to work. It's aggressive. So I ate a bagel sandwich, got an orange juice, pump some carbs and a new coffee, got some carbs in me. All right. Hey, shout out to Freddie felt three, one, three yesterday. He came through for the watch party, the boy, some little Caesar's piece. Yeah, shout out for sure. And it was the power our spending. How good was that? It might have been some of the best. I even said that. Somebody called it out. It could be the best little Caesar's we ever had. And it led to it. So Freddie fell with the pizza power inning. Wilward sports chat that, oh yeah, Tammy, if you're heading down, she said, if you're heading downtown today, be safe, prepay for parking unless you're parking at the casino. So Tammy will be down there. I'm sure. Well, we'll see. Tammy, are you headed down? I guess drop the, drop the response there in the chat.

Big D Energy, Woodward Sports, Network, Neil Rule, Dara McCarty, Spencer Raxter, KG, my guy Chase here as well. We're talking tigers and like I said, shout out Frasier Rambler soccer. They got the win in the districts over Sterling Heights yesterday. So congrats to the alma mater there. So keep it pushing boys. Tough test against a gross point south on Friday, but it only takes one everybody. But yeah, so uh, yesterday, I know Spenny put it on the sheet. Green, Torkelson, Keith all stepped up and they did. And you nailed that and Riley Greene took care of it immediately. But to me, the storyline, and this is me. I'm giving my take right now. AJ Hinch was the most dominant tiger in the organization yesterday. AJ Hinch had the Cleveland Guardian spinning in circles, bringing guys up to the plate, then pinch hitting for him in the second inning. He was eliminating pieces of their bench. DMACC, it was a masterclass. It was an absolute masterclass. Every button he pushed worked. Just spun him into the ground, the guardians. It was impressive to watch. You know what? What it is is he's got the guardians reacting, to his actions and stuff like that. He's never. I never see. I was listening on the radio and I'd never wait a sec, starting lineup and a guy gets yanked before he has one at bat. I was like, Oh, that's new. But like you said, dictated that way and starting Monteiro and his goal, if you don't think that his whole plan was just that first inning, right? And then it threw him for a loop. So again, experience when you look at the experience between the two managers, obviously this is what the next level AJ Hinch and he's got to operate on this level for this team to be successful. But again, pushing all the right buttons. Let's hope whatever he throws out there today. I got to believe Neil just the the not knowing in preparation, right? When you don't know so for the Cleveland team or any team that the Tigers are playing, they got to prepare for everybody, right? Which takes away from just your focus when the Tigers know who they're starting or who they're facing, they know, you know, they can dial it in that way. So I think this is, you know, been above the rim managing by AJ Hinch, but we've seen this more than not for the last two months of the season where his actions make the other team react and it's to our benefit. So yeah, absolutely. You could give him a game ball. No, 100%. And again, he showed his dominance and and Stephen vote, man. He he tried to box what got his arms were too short. Like that was it. That essentially is what happened yesterday. And like you said, AJ Hinch did the dictating and he had to adjust to that strategy to the point where AJ Hinch got what he wanted. Ultimately, you know, Will Brennan didn't even get to play yesterday. He was a starter, but because Stephen vote was so scared and AJ Hinch got in his head and made him expend pinch hitters, he didn't even bat yesterday. So it's just crazy to see like what AJ Hinch is doing, pushing all the right buttons at the right time. And like, what more can you own? It's the same thing as what rig breakup brought up after six pitches in the first and you pull them and you're like, what the yeah, you're like, oh, it's AJ. Okay, you know, he's earned that if he hasn't earned that, if you're not on a free roll and going for a ride to whatever he wants to do with you, what do we sit here and do yesterday? Maybe we'll get three, maybe he can go five, no, no, he was going that first inning, six pitches or not. This just makes him more, can he not come back today if he was needed? Absolutely. You know what I'm saying? Like, so, and I thought you brought up a great point too, right? Self-awareness, right? And it starts with the manager, but when you hear players talk and even your best players, because you were mentioned an interview, Terrick Scuba did, but talking about when you hear from a player about does rest matter in three days rest and him pretty much on a paraphrase is saying, if you want me to be Terrick Scuba, I need a few more days rest because it won't come out the same just for whatever else. So, self-awareness to the players, that comes right from down from the manager, but he's got, as they say, we used to say back on the ice is that he got him spinning on roller skates right now, right? Which means he doesn't, the other teams don't know what to do. So, again, props, but this is just the way, like, it's the, it's one of those new things, right? The way that the Tigers are managing and pitching games or stuff like this, it's like implementing a new system. We had the left wing lock that mystified everybody back in the day and stuff like this. So, they can't catch up to it, they tried to do it, but you bring Kenny, anytime, it's this playoffs and you burn a guy, burn a guy, without even in that back, in your starting lineup, or I get it when you burn a pinch, you know, a guy you put in your lineup and then you pinch it for him when he comes around or whatever, because he was just putting him in for defensive placement, but this was their goal. And when you get him off their goal and you get him on roller skates in the first second inning, yeah, this is why I think this you're winning that battle, right, because mentally doesn't it look like like the Tigers are having their way and especially the way who is shutting them down, right? I get it shutting them down with scuba, but this bullpen and the way that he's mixed and matches the matched up. I mean, hats off. Well, where sports chat thread, Nick Williams, what a day to be alive. No question, no question about that. It, this is as great of a day into Detroit sports is, is you're going to see, man, like it, it's it is absolutely, absolutely incredible. Wilward sports chat thread, we see three one three has Neil issued a personal official apology to Mark Ryan for what for pandering to you. We see D you got D three one three in your name.

With cider mil shit, I go to you and how about the job herder did even with not having his but stretching out innings and stuff like that elite stretching out innings. Absolutely elite. No, but DMEC that's we have never seen a performance like we saw from AJ Hinch yesterday. And I got some people came at me on social media. We posted that clip where I said he's he's one of if not the greatest coach in the history of Detroit. And people were like, what about Sparky Anderson, Neil? We've never seen that. What we saw yesterday, is that fair to say? Fair. Have we ever seen a manager in baseball spin the manager of the other team into the ground? Yeah. Flat out wasted two of his players. He's in his head. Didn't know what to do. And every time they put the camera on Hinch, he's got his little line up card and he's like, right? You know, he's writing it out. It's like, it's like it's a GPS he's looking at. And then he turns left here. And then he turns right there. And then he's going around the traffic here. Like it was in it was he's a maestro. You want, you want to know what that showed me? desperation for a team that had the series tie one one. They are desperate. They had no answers. They realize what the fuck they're up against at this point. I've never seen that before. We've never seen that before. Now, I know we haven't watched baseball in a long time. Has anybody DMACC, you watch Sunday night baseball every week, you freak. I do. You ever, have you ever seen a manager manage another manager into the ground? Like you did to Stephen, well, you, you, you've seen it at different decisions, making it later in the game. But this, the way that AJ Hinch manages the full nine innings, usually what you, you're seeing, when does a manager usually manage? Six, seven, eight, right? Once this started open, this is a whole different game that AJ Hinch, Chris Federer, everybody has brought with this pitching staff, right? From, you don't have a number one closer, you got a whole bunch of guys, right? To the fact, what was everybody in here last night when we saw Brisky come out? Everybody's Jack. Yeah, saw Vasquez. Everybody's Jack. We saw him come out because you knew Holden. The one thing about Holden, right, is you might touch him, but the way that he responds and the way that he's come back, and he, and he showed it in that ninth inning and stuff like this, and that's confidence, right? So just an elite level, right? Like, I think just the way it is through the whole, because AJ Hinch manages from out number one to out number 27. What do we say about this ball team? This ball team does not quit until the final out. In fact, one of the strengths, right, which is so wild being a young team is that they get more comfortable behind or closer in the game, late in the game. And to me, that's just, to me, what you're seeing is that AJ Hinch is managing even before the game starts, right? Like Neil, what, what, if you're on another team, put yourself right where you don't know who you're facing, do we know who's starting today yet? Absolutely. And what time is this? The silhouette again. To me, there's, there's that TV for Siam TV for Siam. All right, playing checkers or playing chess and everybody else playing checkers. No waste in movement by AJ Hinch Cleveland Guardians, by the way, 20 straight scoreless innings. The longest stretch in their franchise's history ever since that game won any days been shaled ever since game. That's it, man. It's incredible. I know you've been on this wave and, you know, we, we agree with you here, but can we, after yesterday, can we put that Steven Vault, AL manager of the year shit to bit? It's got to be AJ Hinch's award. When do they do the voting? I've never heard anybody get an answer to that. Are the votes already done? Not sure. Because if the votes are already done, Hinch isn't going to win. Yeah. Unfortunately, it would be a damn shame. Yep. And then the media that, which is fine by me, that gives me a chance to kill the baseball writers. Yeah. I always look for that. No, big facts. They deserve it. If you guys put Pete Rolls in the Hall of Fame after he died, you guys are the biggest pieces of shit ever. There's a travesty. Ever. And I'll, and I'll, I won't go viral in Detroit about it, but I'll have a shot at going viral nationally because that would be the biggest piece of shit move of all time and beg you of knowing he was going to die. He begged you. And the bottom line is no one's had more hits ever. So I don't want to get on that soap box right now. I don't want to talk about it. But yeah, DMACC, the AJ Hinch thing, man, he's a witch. He's a witch. You know what though? I did. Let me get, let me give you, let me give you what I figured out yesterday, watching the game. Because we asked the question yesterday, it was 50/50. And that was, I was wrong. I made a mistake yesterday. I was wrong. What? And, and I want to tone for it. I want to tone forward on the calendar. All right, let's do it. El Gato, this would be the most unexpected championship Detroit has ever seen. All the doubt earlier in the season, even me, this is our resurgence. You know, El Gato, I saw that message before I read it. Damn, it's sad we got to go to the break right now. But you notice as a, as a city, we've never gotten that championship. Like the Texas Rangers, you know, World Series, name your hockey team. We've never gotten like every championship we've gotten, we were favorites, if not, you know, the second tier of favorite, like we were always figured to be in the mix. We've never gotten one out of left field before. The closest is the O four Pistons, probably that's probably the closest we've got. But they were, they were knocking on the door. You know, they were conference championships and stuff like that. Like nobody expected him to be the Lakers. Right. But that's, that's on people. Yeah. This runs probably like most comparable. If we make it all the way and win the World Series to the 2019 St. Louis Blues, when they, yeah, they were the worst team in hockey in January. Yeah. The worst team in high. That's a great catch. Chase. That's a great. Braille and is the one who brought that up before. So it's, we're in the traveling. The 2019 St. Louis Blues. Remember, they were, they were in last place overall in the night zone in January. Yeah, this is what it would be. This is, this is exactly what if you watch that run by the St. Louis Blues. That's Braille and Brad, Brad, good. I'm proud of Braille used to hockey now. Absolutely. You know, some proud of Neil haircuts. Absolutely. I'm ready to go tonight. Opening day downtown.

You're Detroit Lions are ready for another season of grit. Woodward Sports is your number one destination for all breaking news and lion's coverage. We are Detroit's number one sports network. We are Woodward Sports. A ton of fun. A ton of sports. And a ton of man mates. Welcome to the Woodward Heavyweights Live Daily 5 to 7 p.m. on Woodward Sports. Neil Rule here for Feldman Automotive. There is 18 Feldman Automotive locations in and around the Metro Detroit area. What does that mean to you? It means there's one by your house. It means that all the major car brands are represented. We know about Feldman Chevrolet in Novi. Certainly we know about them. The number one Chevrolet dealer in the state of Michigan, one of the biggest EV sellers in the entire United States of America. I can't confirm by the way. Love it by the way. Love it. Love it. But anyway, with that being said, they're also rooted in the community. We talked about it. They've been around since 1996. They do great work with the Children's Miracle Network Hospital. They raise tons of money through their golf outing with that. They are rooted in the community. They ain't going anywhere folks. That's the moral of the story. Whatever kind of car you need, go to FeldmanAuto.com. I've worked with these people. They're great to work with. I got my car keys in an hour and a half. Come on, man. It takes longer to go out to dinner. Feldman Automotive, man. It's refined there. They're the best in the game. That's facts. All right. Keep it in pushing. Big D Energy, Woodward Sports Network. Neil Rule there, McCarty. We have Chase in the building. Spencer Raxter, KG. What's really good? And we're the Tigers are what's really good. And we're talking about it right now. Gary McCarrick. More unexpected. Oakland Beach, Kentucky, and the NCAA tournament or the Tigers make an Excel in the playoffs. You know, Gary, it's got to be the Tigers. Because when you get out there on the floor against Coach Cal in the tournament, we've seen it happen. You know, we've seen him melt St. Peter's, et cetera. Like we've seen it happen before. So Gary, like, as much as it's crazy, they were dead. Yeah. They had like a 0.1% chance to make the playoffs, man. Half back. It was it was absolutely insane. Let's go Red Wing Sparty. Philly got knocked out last night. That's right. They did. Yeah, because it's a trash city. Here you go. Get your shit off. I think I've done enough on that on that front. But get your thoughts out there. Well, word sports, chat throw. We were talking about the fact it was such an unexpected run in the chat. It's our turn now to get one. No, that that would be, that would be absolutely absolutely awesome. Brett MB Elmago's hip is my MVP vote. Hinch close second. Nah, AJ Hinchman. He overcame. He overcame all that. All right. I had an epiphany yesterday and I shortchanged some things. You want to know what I shortchanged? This popped inside my head. I had an epiphany. It didn't cost me 50 at Tiffany's, however, right, KG? Ha. They did not. All right. I have cheap. I shortchanged the tigers when I said, is it magic or are they this good? And we don't know that we didn't know the answer. I couldn't commit. I came up with the question. DMACC said it's both and I got angry at him on the air and then did the same thing. You know, like, I couldn't make a choice. It's, it's not, it's less magic than we think it is because they got the best bullpen in baseball. There you go. And, and we all overlooked it. They, and that they stayed on that. They got the best bullpen in baseball. And no matter how it's constructed, we see this with bullpen's in the game where it just clicks for some guys. And then then the, the rocket's rolling down the hill and they showed it again last night. It was a pure, the starter through six pitches. And the bullpen shut them out again. No problem. And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Like they had what two threats? Yeah. That was about two or three threats they had. That was it. DMACC, I got to be better than that. I got to stand on this microphone. And when I ask those questions, I have to say it's not voodoo and magic and all that stuff because they have the best bullpen in baseball. If you have that, and you have the best starter, and you have a guy with a thousand OPS, which Kerry Carpenter does, against right handed pitching, it's enough. It's enough. And that's why they're good, DMACC, because they are good at pitching the baseball. And they're, they're really good when it's a great team, right? To the fact of, of they play as a team. So it's not just, you know, those guys, but it's the unsung heroes. And you know, why Neil? Because they don't have a name. And then you go to the payroll and they're, they're, their biggest paid person is, you know, for the, on the roster is the guy that they signed for 10 years or eight years, right? Rookie, right? It's rookie. Yeah. The beauty is like, look at that. I think more and more as they keep repeating it, there has to always be some luck or some magic or whatever. But this is realer to the fact of the foundation of what they're building here. And that's off the basis of, if you even call it a, a bullpen, it's like a bullpen slash longest relievers in the game from the second inning, but the way that they pitch for each other and play together. This is a team, you know, but it's, it's, look it. It's the unsung guys, like the guys you don't know their names that are coming out of the bullpen and stuff like this. The Jake Rogers stepping up, right? The Matt Veerlings, you know, the guys making plays on defense and then, you know, getting bases to whatever you do. You look at the Perez, the Obanyas, then you have, so when they're doing their things, and then when you need a game, like we needed yesterday, you need your names to produce guys who hadn't the grains of Torx and the keys. Boom, they're right there for you. So buttons are getting pushed. I think it's more to what you realize, Nila. It's a, it's a percentage wise, but you know what? It's more 80/20 than it is 50/50. Now let's go revving Sparty as the Tigers run more disparity in funding than the Oakland, Kentucky upset. Not, not with the Guardians, it won't be. If they get the Yankees next round and beat them, then yeah, then it's on the same, then it's on the same parallel. You know what? Good for Riley Green and good for Torx. Yeah. Yeah. Because, because those guys, Torx in particular has been battered and DMACC, I've said this a lot. If the Tigers lost, Torx was going to be the one that wears it. You know it. I know it. Because you know how we do it in this town, right? Like we, we latch on to one. Somebody's got to take. Someone's, there's got to be a pound of flesh. Yeah. And someone's got to be the flesh. And Torx was going to be that flesh. So I'm, I'm glad I'm happy that he came through and got to hit that, that'll, that'll calm everybody, at least for a little bit. A little bit. But it's, guys, it's time to do it with Riley Green. I said it last year, at the end of the season, I wanted the Riley Green, Ronald LaCunia deal, you know, the eight-year, $120 million, lock them up. We gamble a little, you gamble a little type deal. But I think he's even past, Riley Green's going to be past that now. Like the cost, yesterday's prices are not today's prices. I do. And I do wonder about that. I know, I know we said we're going to do like the, when this is over, that's when we'll take a look at financials and stuff like that. But I do, I do want to see it, man. I, I do want to see him. Cody Engel, the Torx Kate has been warranted. We can't act like it wasn't. No, no, both things can be true in this scenario. Both things can be true. But Cody, you know how we do it here? Like, when it becomes fashionable, it's what are you down for me lately? And hopefully the best thing about this is it, it's for Torx gives him confidence. So then, you know, these guys got to put it back to back. That's just, it's not one and done. It's not the last game. Let's build something here. Let's see them do it again today. The big thing, Neil, that somebody brought up in the chat about Monteiro pitch six pitches, he could go in. He could start back to back games. That's a that would be so electric if we did that. Dude, I actually, if there's a bit right now, I'm thinking if they haven't announced the starter, I think he's coming back. I wouldn't be mad at it. I think, I think it's like a lot of the same, because how, or how else is this going to be played out, right? It's a long relief game again, right? Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised. I do it. I do it just for the story. I do it just because does anybody ever started back to back games in the post season? I don't play us. Probably not. Right. That'd be cool. Maybe back in the 50s or 40s. We'll have to ask Maz who was there. He was there. He covered it all. Yeah, he absolutely covered it all. Let's do this. Thomas Perry, I can't find a veerling extra large jersey on fanatics or MLB.com. They're all sold out. Is he taking over America, Matt Veerling? I mean, Matt Veerling has been one of the best players. I put that in there because when you look at the stats, he's got the most at bats on the team. He has the most at bats for the Tigers this year. He was third in OPS. He was third in home runs. He was second in hits. Like this guy has been one of the best players on the Detroit Tigers the entire year. You can put him anywhere in the field. You can put him at first. You can put him at third. You can put him in any of the outfield positions and he puts a good glove out there is. I want to talk about that when we come back. It's been damn good. He's been really important. No, one of the one of the gray bushes in the law in the locker room. Yeah, he was like 27. Yeah, Jake Rogers, the old the old men on the spot. I want to talk about Matt Veerling for a minute when we come back and then we'll get into today's game as well. Spencer Raxter. He's not even here mentally. No, I'm really not. I'm just a lot of camera cuts and that's my bad. No, no, he's just he's and it's fine. Yeah, it's today. It's fine. That's because I know where you want to be right now. I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I'm surprised like during commercial break. You don't sprint down to the Birmingham pub. Yeah, slam a shot. Yeah, then come back. Yeah, we had longer commercials. I would. I could put on and put screen share my screen on and just do it from my phone on the way downtown. Team viewer team viewer can hook it up. But I got to stay alert.

Subscribe to the Woodward Sports YouTube channel and get your thoughts in there. Bern asks, has anyone started any weird habits because of the because of the voodoo, the juju, the magic? I mean, the Tigers have not lost when there's been a Woodward Sports watch party. Yeah, that's the thing right there. And I'm kind of upset about it today because they're going to have one but it won't be the same because a lot of people are missing a lot of people going to the game too. So yeah, the watch party ain't going to have the same, you know, faces that we have. But we're still doing it. Oh, yeah. Got to. Got to. And a lot of you like it because we're getting thousands and thousands of views of it. So a lot. So we appreciate it. Um, Wyatt Bear kids, kids sizes only have bias for the Motor City Connect Jersey because I bought them off because, um, I will wear a hobby bias City Connect Jersey if the Tigers win the World Series. Because you know how it works when you win all is forgiven. Are you ever got it for you? No, but yeah, I'll wear the Jersey. That's it. If they won, would you be okay with them on the roster to start? No, no, absolutely not. Stop being on dumb shit. I mean, it's the Tigers win the World Series. What tattoo are you getting? On your inner thigh. Not a hobby. Not a hobby. If come on, a hobby swinging a missing a slider. If the Tigers get, uh, win the World Series, I'll get a tattoo of a Colt, like Colt Keith with his jersey on. So like a horse like the Cola again. Dude, that's a great one. You got some duration out of it. You know, you got some longevity, at least it won't go bad. Absolutely. Yeah. I'll get that on. I don't know. What about the Chris Federta to? Was there a Chris Federta to, but? Yeah, you said that this year they'd have to be this year. They win the World Series. You do Chris Federta. Oh, okay. Up the inner thigh. Behind the left here. But no, I'll get it on my, I'll get it on my calf. No, CF in a teardrop like the bird man. No, come on. Come on. No, no. I do remember saying the Chris Federta one. Yes. You said inner thigh working, working upward on the inner thigh. Never said that. No, you did. I didn't run the tape. Run the tape. Chase, look it up. I got the clips, the flash drives in my backpack. We made a mistake, by the way, and Chase held us accountable when we at we said nobody's ever started back-to-back games in the playoffs before. Any time you think something has never happened in sports, it's happened. I don't think it was in the playoffs, but he did do it. Back-to-back game Sergio Romo, the famed Giants closer. He did it when he was on the race, too. I was wrong. He did it on the race. He was pitching for the race. It was Saturday, Sunday. Well, he got his fame from being a closer for the Giants. Yeah. So there you go. You like that adjustment right there, mid-fly? Absolutely. That was pretty good on my part, wasn't it? Perfect. Some would tell it. Some would say it's elite. But no, we're all, yeah, Matt Veerling. D-Mac, Matt Veerling, and this is where Scott Harris really did do the job. Because Matt Veerlings and guys like him, they never get recognized. They never get the credit. You win with professionals like Matt Veerling. He's a pro. Is he going to win a batting title? No. Is he going to hit 40 home runs? No. Is he going to lead the league in average or on base percentage? No. But you know what he is? It's exactly what Spenny said. He's a guy you can put anywhere and not give a second thought to it. And he's going to do enough with the bat. He's just, he's a professional. And that was my problem with the Tigers for the last five years. Where's the pro? You know what I'm saying? Like a guy that you don't, you put in a lineup and you don't think about again. Where was the pro? Matt Veerling is the pro. People aren't going to buy his jersey, except for on fanatics, I guess, where it's sold out now. You're not going to, if you have your first choice, you're not buying a Matt Veerling jersey. But if you want to win a game, your first choice is Matt Veerling. And D-Mac dad is something that has lacked here forever. A Matt Veerling. No, that's what you need because you can put them anywhere. It's dependable. And that's what makes this lineup, right? Then they have. So what do they have in the bullpen? A bunch of Matt Veerlings, right? A bunch of professionals, guys that obviously have our performance the best of their career. And we go to the pitching coach and whatever else surgery or something. But that's why Matt Veerling and he's the one with the most playoff experience. He's sort of been there. So he low-key temperament. And he's got a great temperament, right? To sort of lead the way. But to me, he's the low-key leader in that locker room because of what he does day in and day out every night. You can put him anywhere. You're not worried about his glove. You're not worried about his defense. If you need a hitter or a walk, he's going to give you a good up at. And that's what the rest of these guys. So here's the difference where you got that Matt Veerling led team and a hobby by his lead team in the locker room where AJ Henschcoats watch him do what he does, right? You got 13 rookies in the playoffs leading that way as opposed to the undisciplined. That's that's the difference when I look at Matt Veerling. I think discipline, baseball player, true pro, right? And and his demeanor leaks through this team is more Matt Veerlings than they are hobby by as is or whatever else. So to me, that's where that's where the leadership comes from. An old jarhead says a role player. Then Zebidiah says he's Don Kelly. No, no, no, no, no. No, he's he's not a role player. He's a player. He's one of your better players. It just so happens that he can play a couple of different spot. He's not a role player. He's a he's a leader and a must have. You must have him. Slappy 313 Veerling will never be a Hall of Famer, but he's a damn good baseball player. You need ball players, man. Ball players. He's a ball player. Kids a ball player. That's it. Like I hate to be that short with it. It's not good in this business, but that is he's a ball player. One of the one is, you know, when his name's called upon, he takes care of business. Like I said, he was a top three hitter on this team the entire year. Yeah. And it's extremely important to have that guy that you can move around the lineup. You can hit him in the top three of your lineup. You can hit him in the bottom three of your lineup. I mean, you're not going to hit him in the bottom three of your lineup, but he'd be comfortable there too. And like I said, he could play first. He could play third. He could play the outfield. And it's important to have that guy, especially one that can produce like he can when you have a coach like AJ Hinch, who is going to be moving people around and moving guys in and out. So if you need to move your defense around and Veerling started off the game, playing right field and you're like, Oh, well, you know, Kerry's coming in for a bonya. So Veerling, you got to play third now. So Kerry can go and write. He's like, okay, sure, thanks, get. And he goes the third base. It's, it's extremely important with the way AJ Hinch maneuvers his lineup. No, it is. Ricola says, Harvey, get well later. Thank you. Never heard that, but that's actually pretty funny. That's a good one. That is, that is a good one. Uh, cigar guy 911. He's a Tom Brookings. No, he's, he's not that either because he, he's one of the biggest producers on this team. Yeah. Like, I think that we've gotten our way in sports now, DMACC, where everybody's either a star or a bomb. He's like, he's like Don Kelly of Don Kelly, Johnny Peralta. Right. Right. That's it. Yeah. Like a mix of Donnie Kelly and Johnny Peralta. Like that's without the steroids. Well, I mean, turns out he needed the steroids. Yeah, that's a lot of them. So I would say get the steroids. Just make sure they're testing later. I love personally. I love Don Kelly. He's one of my favorite tigers of all time legend. No Don Kelly disrespect ever, but Matt Veerling. He's a little bit worse than Don Kelly when it comes to, can play literally any position you want him to, but he's better than Don Kelly. And hitting the baseball. Yeah. So you take that trade off. It's pretty. You take Veerling all day. Yeah. Right. It's pretty important. Uh, Brian, Brian says professional role players, uh, excel in the roles on the team and do their job. That's the key to this team succeed in your role. It's been a minute and this is, we'll get into today's game, but I just, I find myself every day DMACC having something new pop in my head about this team and why it's working. Like I'm trying to work my way through this. And, and there is succeeding your role. We've, we've changed, I think, as sports fans, and kind of piggybacking on the, like everybody's either a star or a scrub now. Like that's the way that everybody perceives sports. I think there's something to that too where role guy and he's not a role guy. Like he's a performer. He's, he's a performer. Consistently in the two hole or the three hole for your team. Performing. Yes. Like that's a valuable, valuable piece. Yes. So like that is his role. If you, if, if a manager can have a team of, of nine Matt Veerlings, he would take that any day. Yeah. And it's, I wonder why that is like, do you, do you vibe with me on that? Like we've, we've kind of lost that as a sports fan, like with the highlights in the, and the, and the 30 second clip and social media reels. It's Sam Flannel, Idis, either you're a superstar or you don't matter. Yeah. It is. It's true. It's, it's, it's, it's the new linear, linear way of thinking. Inequivocally, the Detroit Tigers would not have made the playoffs without Matt Veerling. You could say that about, you know, Riley Green and a bunch of other guys, but he is a top five reason the Detroit Tigers made the playoffs. If you count the bullpen is one reason. Uh, the away fan, I'm bricked up. DMACC, you sign off. What's that? Being bricked up, we can bring it back, right? Oh, absolutely. 100% whatever, whatever works. I mean, like, think you look, we, what do I always talk about culture, chemistry, stuff like this. And, and it goes back to, like I said, the other day, these guys have played with each other in the minors. They know what each other's about. They play for each other, right? They pick each other up. Now we've seen that. And it's just whatever, whatever. And I go back to your magic or are they good? Every game that they go out there and play, the magic dissipates because this is more of the norm. Now there's, there's, there's a whole bunch of conversations to be had because of what this team has done, but they're not for now. Right now it's free roll. Enjoy. Let's hope the boys are big. What do we say yesterday? What did I say yesterday? You, I don't think in this with the youth that the moment the crowd, the everything would be too big for this young team. And it wasn't. At all. Did you ever feel at all the game was out of hand? And you know what DMACC, this just popped in my head. You know why that is? Because even the managers out there dictate in what's going to happen. The managers, the aggressor puts his players in the best possible, the AJ Hinch, Scotty Bowman analogy is putting his players in the best possible positions for them to succeed. And when they succeed, he believes if he puts his players in the position to succeed more times than the other team, they come out of there with the W. And look at their record.

So you can't say like, I know everybody and go back to, well, they were this and hitting all you. This isn't the same team. Just go track me to who this team is. This team had pitchers that were supposed to be the Mises and the Manning's and and all these. No, this is a one trick pony and a whole bunch of other wild stallions in the bullpen led, you know, led by the, arguably like you see, bring it up Neil. And it's sort of a joke when you talk about coaches or managers about the impact, but think about the impact that AJ Hinch has on this game, not just with one move or whatever, but moves throughout even before right now, not making a move and not showing. You can't tell me that if you're Cleveland Guardians sitting in the dressing room or warming up or whatever in the back of your mind, you don't know who you're facing in a must win game. That can't, like, that's got to piss you off a little. And it's like, these are like the little needle and shit. You know, if anybody watching the Dodgers or the Dodgers Padres, right, the Padres have this like heel bad guy, like Machado throw on the ball in the dugout and the way that they do thing, they just try to get under your skin and piss you off, right? That's the whole thing dictating that play. And right now, nobody's dictating baseball better than AJ Hinch of the Tiger. And it rolls down to the rest of his team, man. They feel like they're dictating each other. And they don't give a shit looking left or right. It's like they're in it together, man. It's the greatest feeling in the world, greatest feeling in the world. Cat's bot. Neil's being hypocritical keeps praising the Tigers, even though he ished on Avila for years. Avila is the one who built most of this Tigers current roster. Well, cat spot, wouldn't you save in that the people he put in place, a player development probably lacked a little bit? You know, by the way, that whole tear down, that whole tear down got you Jake Rogers, the whole tear down. So if you want to step in the ring cat spot about that and go, you know, blow for blow, we can certainly do that. We can certainly do that. By the way, his, uh, his one, one pitchers left off the roster. You know what I'm saying? So like, calm down a little bit cat spot because there's more to the organization than just throwing a dart at the draft board. Like there's more to that. I don't know why I keep doing this. I don't know it either. But I mean, it's, it's where cats bot lives. So it's cool. But it's cool. I'm here to one. Hey, I said this morning, we about to throw that. Uh, we lost the, the verlander trade out the window of Jake Rogers. Keep doing what he doing in the postseason. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, imagine if he wins AOC SMB. Well, how about this? You know how the Mets tore it down last year? Yeah. Last year? Where are they? Yeah, it's true. The under, their America's underdog with the highest payroll and one of the highest payrolls in baseball, which is wild to me, but a perceptions reality, I guess, not just because they dump salary. Well, that is true. Um, Planet Fitness, everybody. Yo, Planet Fitness was back in action today, just down the road here in Troy. Love being a member at Planet Fitness. It's a part of my life.

Spencer Rachster as well. Wilward sports chat thread burn. Alavela that will vest, walk out the door and Scott Harris brought him back. Harris was also the one to claim Holton off of waivers. Yeah. But a top five pitcher in baseball today is Tyler Holton. That is a fact. Check out the numbers. Wavers. Al would never. You wouldn't. The only the only waivers action he he gets is the ones he sends his draft picks to. sends those guys to waivers. But anyway. All right. Today. Who you who you want to see? Who you want to who you want to see on the bump? It's many doesn't count because we know what he wants. Jackson Joe to throw ten innings. I know that. Who do you want? I thought the chat brought it up. I would love to see. And I don't think because I don't think it's out of the norm to whatever to start out just like you did yesterday with Montero. He had six pitches yesterday. And maybe that was the thought process to bring him back today. So, um, you know, other than that, what are what are your options? Right? Alton Joe. I don't think you start. I don't think you start holding. I think I think you're you're saving that back end. But who can who can? It's got to be a do we not agree? It's another six pitchers seven pitchers win. Of course. Right. So in which order to do that tank today, too. And how do you throw it? I mean it. I'm just thinking to myself, right? And you got school with the world. The team that hasn't figured it out. Right? What do we say? Give them the same play out. It's what I'm saying. Give them the kid. Keep fucking with them. Give them a kid. You don't have to look up. But they don't let that to see his stuff. You don't even have triple A of bats from this guy. Put a kid out there throwing 100 miles an hour and it's 3,000 RPM. Hey Amazon Prime members, why pay more for groceries when you can save big on thousands of items at Amazon Fresh?

He's going to be in pitch today. You get pitch like they want to pitch it down. But but why does it make not any sense that they couldn't figure out how to you mentioned how hinged mess with Voigt about mind and got his lineup screwed. Why don't you send my tear out again? Like it's almost like running it up the middle for 15. And why you got to pass it the next one? Why don't you just run it till they can stop you? Right. Right. Because you got six pitches like I think you're you the same mindset and reset. Like it was yesterday. Spenny's compromised though. He's trying to speak but I think you're going to see I think you're going to see him but probably maybe fourth, fifth, six. Okay. Sorry. I got Alexander Coughlin. Job got smoked by Houston. Spenny. When? Where? When did he get smoked? He hit a batter. A bun got gave it up and then a blue single. And then what did he do? Oh, a soft ground ball. The first base they got bit and made wholesale to they look like a little bitch with a weak foul ball out. He did not get smoked. Don't bring that false narrative into the house of Job. Put the kid on the mound. Hey, sorry. That was 10, 150 pitches. Right, Sonny? Yes. He's young. You can take it. Spenny's got that. Spenny's like with Job's like me with Aizerman. Holy cow. Sorry, Alexander. Oh, that was aggressive. But he definitely did not get smoked. He didn't. He hit the first batter. You can't do that. He made the pitches to get out of that inning. The defense let him down a little bit. But going back in that position to start with because you can't hit the first batter. Going back to it, DMACC. The only one I would imagine is the only two of men not available, I would imagine are probably Bob risky and her because they pitch the longest. They pitched over five innings combined yesterday. Tyler Houlton, you can run him back out with impunity. You got a day off again. I'm going to see falling today. Yeah, right. You're going to see a hole in the gun. Vusters in for once. So he's going to be available. That's your one and a third. You know, maybe not. So, you know, uh, Hepford and Harriman, what's the other dude's name? Gunther. Gunther. Gunther. Yeah. Yeah. Gunther. You're a third of an inning. So he's available. You haven't seen Hanifie. Olsen? You haven't seen a pitch in a couple days? Right. But what do you want to see? I'd rather see Monteiro Denilson or whatever like that. I don't know. I whatever it is. Does it? Am I out of line? Like, isn't this mind blowing? It's almost noon, six hours and this, the starting line up. This is what they do. That's what they do. Or the picture's not announced or do we do not announce that they announced that what like two hours before game time. Yeah. Yeah. So it'll probably be the same thing. He's a fucking man. He's a demon. He's a demon that commands a squad of demons. Like all these guys coming out of the bullpen can throw high 90s paint corners. It's dangerous the way they doing it now because you can't game plan for that. No, you can't. How do you game plan for seven different arms in one game? You can't. You know what here? This is kind of my I wouldn't be surprised to see that you can't say what your best guess is because you got no idea. Just like I got no idea. We don't know. But it was a scientist at roast this morning. By the way, what's he in there getting to? I did not see him. I did not see him when I ordered. All right. So wait, but he does roll through here. But I got there earlier, you know, I pulled in there at like nine forty five. So he probably got there earlier. But the only thing you can point towards is maybe they go with the freshes are. And in this case, I think it would be resulsing. Right. But you know what they're going to do. You know what they're going to do? They're going to. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts holding. I wouldn't be surprised. And he goes in inning. Yeah. And then you bring in resource and to face the back half of the lineup, get two innings out of him and then away you go again. I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe let him go three, perhaps because you're your two bullpen arms light. Every single reliever, maybe, you know, on the table today, because it's an elimination game. I bet your sweet ass that AJ Hinch is going to. They won't throw. They won't throw brisket. Well, of course. Yeah. Yeah. But besides him, I think everybody else is on the table. Everybody else on the table and we'll pitch holding will. That's why I'm starting to think we'll start in Detroit. Like he's going to empty to click. Make no mistake. And you got to do it all. Yeah, exactly. And scoops is going again. So there you go. Job's going to pitch today. He's going to start. I need it. It's the magic. What better situation could you put a man? No, absolutely no pressure at all. 50,000 fans behind you screaming. Being a starter, which you've been your seven years old. I would I would just if they do that, I want to see him pitch the second inning. I want to see him start. No, I don't. I want to see him pitch the second inning. That place would be that place would be on third. If Job is out there, it'll be on fire anyway. Give him the best. This is who he is. This is what he's supposed to be. We need a commercial for it. This is what he's supposed to be. This is who he is. He is the best pitcher on the next year. This is putting him in there now. Throw him in the fire. You're right. You're right. Really? To your point. To your point. You're up two to one. You're at home with the crowd. If you were ever going to start him, right with the future, it's almost like start. This might be a plan. I wouldn't see it surprised. I'm going to go my first choice to be wholesome. That'll be Montero and then it'll be Joe. You get a lead then you put him in. No, no. If you put it, you get a lead. You have guys in there to keep that lead. You got your closest. Put the kid on the tent to start the game. Tell you, it makes the most sense. But tigers, please don't do this. Do it. This man. This man will be in the building. Watch him do it. Watch him do it. That's an old boy. That's an old boy. Okay. I'm your friend and we work together a long time. Your system can't handle. I don't know if it can handle. Hold on. Before you start, looks like Neil's pipe has gone over into spendies. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Are we not these two right? Yeah. This is like a little bit of earlier, but on the opposite end of it, you know, spinny smoking better shit. That's that's all you. He's smoking everybody else did. Just the same everybody else did. But no, I just tigers make a plea. I'm making you a plea right now. This man's going to be in the building and he's going to be coming in hot. All right. We can all agree on that. His system can't handle that. If Joe starts the game, it's going to be too much. He's not happy. I need a Facebook live or Instagram live, where he's starting from you from from the stand. I can't even Elizabeth imagine putting out a 22 year old demon who throws over 100 miles an hour and it's 3,000 RPMs on his slider that they have no tape of and they haven't seen yet. Hold him out. Listen to you guys. Anakin baptism by fire. Send him out. Send him out. Give us the kid. Look, I'm not I'm not disparaging Joe. Yeah, Joe could probably handle it. I'm thinking about my friend. Obviously, you guys don't care about spending. Obviously, you don't and someone's got to be the adult in the room. Someone's got to be the smart guy in the room. That's going to be me. Please don't do this. And you guys don't put this out there in the atmosphere also. Look at this man already. I'm so geeked. He hasn't even had a drink yet. He has my axe like go out there. You know what? Dude, this further proves your point though. We sit here arguing. We don't know. And then literally you're talking about demons. This kid's probably the biggest demon on the team. Dude, his stuff is nasty. Okay. Like can we do the commercial? Yes. Can we can we breathe? Yes. Everybody at the best one to pudge a baseball next year. School boom job. Thanks.

All right. Oh by the way there's a hockey game tonight about that downtown is going to be this crazy fire tonight on fire tonight. Red Wings getting it rolling DMACC. I don't want to say we everyone draw the swords. I feel like we left last last season in two camps. And even in this network there seem to be two camps. There's the common sense party with myself and Dara McCarty. I'm running for the people. And then there's a Sam Flanel party. Radical. Radical. Right radical extremists. Yeah. Radical extremists. Ready to let the heads roll. Has ties with with Canada. Yeah. Yeah. And once it wants to send your money to Canada. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And have an open border with Canada. Big John Cherry guy. Yeah. Absolutely. Um. DMACC. Look. Business is used. Where do you see? Where are your 30,000 foot as we drop the puck tonight? You'll be in the building. So for those that are going out, keep an eye out for DMACC. Yeah. Where were you at DMACC? No, I mean it's going to be interesting. It's important now. He's the same old thing. Gotta go after a good start. I mean, you go and break it down right tonight's game. Pittsburgh had their home opener yesterday and got absolutely obliterated. Six. Nothing by the Rangers. So they're going to be ready to play. Um. To me with this roster, you've you've improved defensively. You've improved in your goal attending. To me, it's about scoring, right? You got high expectations for Lucas Raymond to be a 40 goal guy. You know, Debrinkus started hot last year. He's got to maintain. To me, it's about where the goal is going to come from, right? So to me, you're still in the same position fighting for the last, you know, two, three playoff spots and stuff like this. To me, like you got the exhibition season wasn't what I expected, but I've been in those before, right? Where you're sort of fine in your way and you haven't clicked yet. So, um, there's a lot of questions. What I think, though, is what we'll see this year, right? When you had all the young guys, the caspers, you know, the Lombardi's, uh, you know, all these guys that go down, that got sent down to Grand Rapids, they're going to play a lot of minutes, but they're it's close enough that you're going to see guys get opportunities. You're not going to wait around with the same roster if it doesn't work out. There's going to be, you know, moves being made that, you know, so so the difference this year is you're going to see a lot more guys in and out of the lineup, I think, um, and production for so, um, for me, it's I want to see your guy, Johnny Burger, and get an opportunity, right? Spenny in the minutes. I like the way the team sort of built defensively, they should be able to keep the puck out of the net a little more. Um, props to Billy Husso who's earned the starting job. So that, that tells you something. So to me, it's, uh, and again, you know, to me, it's not, if we're talking to you and I last year, this year and into next year, like this ain't the final product. There's a lot of contracts coming off the books and a lot of different guys. You know who your core is with the larkens, the ciders and the raimans. Is this what else is going around it? So the guys, the compers, the cops, these leaders and stuff like that, they got to be better. So we'll wait and see. I mean, you saw it. League started two nights ago. We're, we're fully kicked. It should be an exciting the fans are ready, right? The building will be ready. And so that's not not the problem. There's no selling that. It's just like got to go out and and got to go out and prove it. Bottom line. Bottom line. But, uh, there's a lot of guys and legato opportunity, I think. So just because this is the starting day roster, don't expect that it to be the end of the season roster. Um, and DMACC, I want to jump in with what you said there. You're going to see young guys worked in. And if it doesn't work, you're going to see guys move on like that's we're at that and DMACC that you said that perfectly. I couldn't think of a better way to say that because now we are and like, look, I'm not somebody that says that Steve Eiserman because they missed the playoffs by a minute, 30 seconds, forgot how to be a GM and it's a trash rebuild and all that. Yet we've been over that a hundred times. I'm not going back to that. But I will say this DMACC like if you, if you want quote unquote accountability, I guess that's, that's what some people are saying. We have reached that exit of the highway DMACC where as you just said, and this is where I like the setup that Eiserman has because there is a flexibility financially moving forward. I believe that they will begin that process of seeing what is there in terms of, of younger guys. But as, as it sits right now, as it sits right now, uh, Wilbertsports chat thread, by the way, um, the great Gambino, they lost a lot of offense and have to hope for more progress from Raymond Moore from cap, but replacing, um, uh, if Bergen isn't going after 15 games, they need to go to cast. What's, what's the offense that they lost? That was going to be bad question. They got Terra Cinco like they, they brought back guys as well. I mean, they lost what Peron. They like, that's, here's the, here's the issue that I see. But, but Kane essentially takes Peron's role. But, but here's that different play. The big myth, the myth that I'm looking for is what I think they've lost them, what they lost in Peron and the gosses fear. You could say the offensive on the back end of goss. We're being a left shot. No, no, it's the leadership in the locker room. That's what David Peron provided. He was that guy in there. So, so that, that, to me, that's sort of who's, who are we going to see leading the charge? Obviously, like Larkin's going to lead in his way, but there's that secondary. He needs that help, right? Like this is where, like the Shirats come in, you know, and have to be that leader and, and say what you want about Peter. He's there for a reason, but there's leadership, you know, on the front end, her can Terra Cinco come in and use what he's, what he's two times Stanley Cup champion. He's got the pedigree. Can he, can he rub some of that shine up on the Debrinkets and the Raymonds and stuff like that. So, boat opportunity, but that, to me, it's more, it's not a, it's not, you look at the roster, you look at the town and I expect, I'd like that third line, raspberries and fisher and, and cop. I mean, I like that third line, right? Because that's a shutdown line. I was some raspberries and sort of like your, your juice, but it's like leadership and excuse me, maybe that's the guy that I'm going to look to. Michael Raspberrieson has been that leader. Bring the boys together like the glue like we saw Peron do. Yeah, I think the guys that need to step up in the leadership role are guys that have done it before in Patrick Kane, Terra Cinco and Ben Shirot, like obviously Larkin's going to be the leader. He's your captain, but Patrick Kane and Terra Cinco to have guys up there that have won multiple Stanley Cups in this league is something that's going to be so important for the younger guys. And we saw Shirot, you know, Lucas Raymond went on a heater after Shirot got in his face and roughed him up a little bit of practice. Like just whoops, someone's asked to practice every other week, Shirot, maybe they'll turn into a 30 goal scorer at the end of the year, but Big Ben's going to start. I was hard on Shirot really a lot because I. Oh yeah. He was our second best defenseman down the stretch last year. He stepped it up big time. So if he could play the whole season like he did the last month, two months of the season last year, that'll be huge. Well, where sports chat thread a lot of the people are on it. I guess they're fired up for it. DNC, DNC, ENT, it's pretty simple. This is pass fail. And DNC, ENT, like again, man, if you're talking about 90 seconds, I'm not going to say the rebuild shit. No way. I'm going to say that because if you miss a playoffs by 90 second, I'm not going there and you can call that soft. All you want, I live in the real world. All right. I'm not, I'm not a flannel Sam, like linear thinker. I'm not a part of that extremist party that Sam flannel, you know, doesn't care about your hockey family letting the legals on your hockey team. Absolutely. Let let open border with Canada. Like anyone can just come across the Gordy Hal bridge under flannel's watch. Brandon Katz in here playing. Oh, if it's in butts, the flyers would have made the playoffs last year if not for the heart situation. And the Red Wings would have made the playoffs last year for the Larkin situation. Right. So what are we doing here? If my grandmother has wheels, she would have been a bike. Yeah, it's just, I don't know. Again, like, what's the goal? I don't know. If you were the capitals, if it was us that got in instead of the capitals, even though we want more games than they did, sorry, we did. And we got cooked.

Big D Energy, Woodward Sports, Network, Neil Rule, Dara McCarty, talking some Paca. We have KG, Chase, Spencer Raxter in the building as well. Alexander, goalies, and defense was the biggest weaknesses. Hopefully both correct it. Is I peruse the depth chart? I was. Somebody asked me earlier in the chat. Are you surprised about Billy who so I am? Yeah. I am surprised. I was kind of pulling for Cam Talbot. I thought that was a pretty good value signing, especially given the goalie land. He wasn't all-star last year. Like, you know, obviously, I love the Kings were so good to. I know. I know they were. I know he's a byproduct of that, but still pretty good number, pretty good player, got a good resume, had a good season last year. I don't know, DMACC, it's just for me, and I'm a big debrinket slappy. I brought him here. You guys don't know that. We talked about that before. It's true. Steve and I were holding court. You know, getting in a bottle of wine and everything. We both had our sweater vest on, and I brokered the deal. He sought my counsel, but I got the deal done. But even that, nobody's a bigger debrinket slappy than me came out, carried the team for the first couple of weeks of the season, was on fire, went through the slump. That can't happen. That slumpy went through mid-season, can't happen again, but you know who knows that more than anybody, DMACC? He does. Alex Debrinket knows that. So I am looking forward to that. Do you anticipate this is how it's going to go, because it never goes by the "depth chart." Do you expect it to be Larkin with Debrinket and Raymond? At least to start. Yeah, I mean, it's one of those things that, yeah, they're going to have to get to start, and they're going to have to come out quick and look to carry this team. And I expect, you know, you would expect them to come out to a good start. The big thing is always, you know, like what they addressed last year is the power play, the penalty killing. Now we, I agree, we got better on the back end. You added a guy like Gustafson in this Johansson, you know, he's the real deal, right, as far as he's earned this opportunity to make this hockey club. So not a flashy guy, but we'll solidify in the back end. You know, you look at like what the winning teams, you look at like a Forzling, you know, in Tampa and stuff like this. So, yeah, but it all comes down, Neil, in today's day and age, it's a power play. So it's Kane, it's Debrinket, it's, it's get the power play. And if you ask them, they haven't got it clicking, right? So hopefully tonight, tonight. And they were, and they were still what? Top 12? I forget the numbers. They were, they were in the upper half of the league, powerful ninth. Yeah. So they were inside the top 10. And that in DMACC, you know, that was my singular judge last year. The power play of P.K. improvement. That was last year's improvement. This year, it's goals against, right? And they got it, but they need their guys to step up. They're getting in this, that they're looking at the Debrinkets, the Raymond's, the Kane's, you know, these guys to provide the goals. Whoa. What? I'm making a parlay right now for the wings game. Lucas Raymond, three plus shots on goal is plus 102. Free money. That is free money. Wow. That's nice. This is your sports book to do that for the people, the official sports book of Woodward sports. Yeah. That's nice. That is nice. Um, real nice. Let me see. Uh, cat spot, the red wings imploded with Larkin out. They were getting blown out consistently. No, no doubt. 100% they were at all fell apart. What do you got chase? Can we also acknowledge that we only had one goaltender to end the season from like February until the last game? Like Alex Lyon was just getting put out there and just asked to just do whatever he can to stop the play alive. There was no confidence that the team had when they put rhyme or between the pipes. And like, I mean, like, he was pretty good for the sharks a while ago and he had a successful career, but he started out hot last year. He just didn't hold it together and there was no confidence in him. That's why we just kept like sticking line in between the net. No, absolutely. Let's go rebbing Sparty to bring it has less pressure going into this year. Last year he was brought in as a savior to net 40 plus goals. I would now he can settle in. I would disagree. I agree with the other way. More pressure this year. Last year, there was no pressure. Now you've got to perform. What would you know about that? I have nothing. You just go out and get Sam. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. That extremist. He doesn't care about your family. Yeah. Bernock has his in that party. He's the vice president. He's the vice presidential nominee. That's Sam's running mate. D. Mac tried to call him. He wouldn't take the call. You know, so there it is. Cats 2024. 14 grit power play is a question because of the departures and I don't see that. Really? I mean, you got, you know, you got guys got to step up. The blue line is to step up. It's very loose. Peron. I mean, you talk about defensively. I mean, I'm running the point. You're running the point, but you brought in Gustafson. He can run the point on a power play. Most cider has done it before. You're you're kind of grooming Edvinson into being that. And then to replace Sharon, you got to hear a single place, a second power place. Peron, you got Terra Cinco. Obviously, you have Kane for the full year this year. Like, yeah, Peron and Gossis here were great on the power play, but you brought in guys to replace that production. Well, hopefully it's like the Lions and their offense when you're adding, you know, it just takes took a little bit of time and that's what exhibition was for to find click because it's different. Whenever you put somebody different, whether it's even if you have the same shooters, right hand shots, left hand shots, guys attack the puck differently. So it's one of these things that they'll have to figure it out. Now that do they have guys that can be a lead on the power play, I believe so. We've seen in the past, so it's about execution. Here's a good one. This comes from Kyle says they're going to give all three goalies a look early on. I'm hoping they eventually go with a duo of Lion and Talbot. Talbot's age, 35 games is probably about perfect. Lion's history says 30 games is the workload for him, who so can be showcased and his cap hit can be moved. They still need help at defense and forward. And Kyle, like, I was just, that's a great segue to what I was going to bring up. They have 1.3 million in cap space right now right around middle of the pack in the NHL. If they do want to do anything at the deadline, somebody's somebody with a number is going to have to go. Somebody like a who so and that's a good candidate obviously. Somebody like a who so would be the one that would have to go. And you know, you like Sharat, right, Spenny? Sharat would be, you know, at 33 at 4.8 million. That's, this is my point though, what I'm driving at. They are, he has flexibility moving forward, but he doesn't have the same type of flexibility they've had over the last couple of years in season. You know what I'm saying? Unless you're, unless you're able to finagle something. And that is a great point. Who so, if he plays well, it might be time to move on from him and get that number off the book to facilitate doing a move that you can do at the trade deadline. So for all the all the transaction people, like hold your water for a little bit at the, at the trade deadline this year. But not even that because I think before, what do we see just like in the NFL, there's injuries. There's a goal. There's a couple goalies that are going to go down. So when you have three that are legit that can play, it gives you some value there, right? Right. I wouldn't be surprised if, if some team has to come call because they've lost a top quarter. No, absolutely. What were sports chat thread jump in to there and get your thoughts out there? We're going to be joined by Ryan Paltter from Feldman Chevrolet, our pigskin pick them cup coming up. What do you have, KG? No, I was looking at DNC ENT's comment in the chat. Okay, Neil, what are your expectations? What is a successful wing season and what is a disappointment? I think that's a great question. Around the same. Around the same as what it was last year, like buzz the tower with the playoffs. Maybe get in. Maybe not. Remember, dude. That's a success. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, because someone's getting hurt. We do this every year. Every season with every team we do this and everyone just assumes that depth chart's going to be the depth chart for 80 plus games. Hang on. Work that way. It never has. It never will. So with that being said, that that's my question. Like how bad do you get it? Like getting Larkin for what over 10% of the year was getting a pretty bad last year. Yeah. And it showed. And when you're in the cap, like what are the oilers going to do if McDavid goes down for 15 games, they could. Like that's, you know, that's what it is, especially with this cap and everyone's kind of kind of butted up against it. Cat spot admitting Eiserman failed. He doesn't have higher expectation for the Red Wings this year. No, it's not linear because they're not like they're the last year this year. And even next year, you're in this window where you're down between your high point is making maybe five or six in the playoffs and and you have it out. There's a possibility to lose in the playoffs, right? The one thing that you are smart about is that Philly's gotten better. Jersey's got better just with their coach. Other teams, you got buffaloes, you got the Ottawa. But that's not the foundation of what you're dealing with the recipe of the Red Wings because it's all about progress with your team. Are you getting better each year? And this may be the slow part where the weather comes in and it's snow most of the time you can only work on the house for a couple months. Unfortunately, that's what it is. But it's about it's sort of seeing your seat. Look at the tigers, right? What you're seeing is them I bought a year ahead where now they have all their rookie guys and the young guys that are making impacts and being here. The wings are almost there, right? They're not quite there. And that but you're going to see the taste, right? The caspers, the, you know, the lumbarities, the the guys that are going to be here. So it's your I can't explain if you can't see it out of the glasses that are here because that's the way it's got to be built. Now the conversation for next year, like do I expect? Do I hope they make the play? Yes, they should be right around where they were. But there's so many other teams that are right there also. That's why they can't get injured, right? If they get injured, but they're going to, but they're going to at some point, right? Somebody and that's when can we get somebody kid to get an opportunity to step up and stuff like this? So it's it's like a process. It's not a it's not a hit or miss. It's not like it's not like, oh, you got to do this and you got to win the playoff series. To me, this team is being built for the next year of the year after because you look at the roster and you look at the contracts and you look at where where it's at and who's coming up and so it's a different conversation. So yeah, to the other part of his question, what would be a disappointment in your eyes? Like they don't buzz the tower with the playoffs, you know, like they're eight points back or 10 points back and they can never, you know, and and relatively they stay relatively healthy and they don't and they don't buzz the tower with the plan. That's where it is with me. And for the flannels and the like and the catch bots and everything, you know, it just comes back to this with me. Okay, a success would be if they increase the point total. That's what you guys always say, right? Is there improvement? Because there's been improvement every single year. He's been who's done that? What GM has done that, Barry Holmes. Well, the first year, was it? Yeah, yeah. But after that, but yeah. You see what I'm saying? Like, who does that? It's just people got out in front of their skis. All right, let's take the break. We come back. We'll be joined by Ryan Paulter. It is pigskin pick him cup time. How about Mark White? Mark White.

Neil Rule, there are McCarty Chase, KG Spencer, Raxter as well. All of you in the Woodward sports, chat, thread. As we always do on Thursday, we welcome in our guy. Of course, he is Ryan Paltter, the sales manager over there, Felman Chevrolet in Nova. I got me a great deal on my Equinox AV with EV, which I absolutely love. But Ryan, more than that, the Fade Ryan people are big mad this week. You went three and oh, you took charge. You're in the you're in the leader seat right now. How'd you do it, Ryan? Hey, let, uh, you know, it's, it's, uh, just want to help the people out, you know, if there's some times you got a side with Ryan, then there's sometimes you got a fade Ryan. This is one of those weeks we got a side Ryan. Listen to this guy. You know, this this this week could be a fade Ryan segment. But my goal is to prove all the haters wrong at the end of this, uh, at the end of this year. So Ryan, you sit on top of the standings right now at eight and seven DMACC is six, eight, and one. Uh, I'm five and 10, uh, like the 80s lines. I can't even look at DMACC. I can't even look at them. Well, I can't start it. I'm like, I'm proud of you. Every two seconds every, every chance I can. I'm biting my tongue, biting my tongue. Uh, all right, Ryan, let's get into it. Uh, your picks, if you would, and this is an interesting one here. BYU. Huh? Yeah. Yeah. You know, I was, uh, just going through the games like I always do, doing my normal routine came across this and, uh, once again, these lovely, uh, these lovely lines and odds are brought to buy Caesar's sports book. Look at this guy. Um, so BYU BYU, BYU minus five, and I think the biggest thing was is that Arizona got blown out, uh, by Kansas State and BYU blew out Kansas State. And I know that's always a tough thing to look at, but I mean, it's, it just seems like a no-brainer to me that BYU is going to completely demolish Arizona. Uh, Oregon plus three and a half, I think that the Big Ten teams, although we were saying that, you know, these, these teams that came over from the PAC-12 got to get used to Big 12 football, the, the Big Ten teams need to get used to time change. And it's a different thing. I mean, DMACC can tell you you go on a road trip from Detroit to Los Angeles. Your whole schedule gets thrown off because your three hours behind. So I just, I have a good feeling that Oregon is going to win, but I, if they lose, I don't think it's going to be by more than three. Okay. Um, Houston Texans playing a crap New England team with a rookie quarterback making his first start and CJ Stroud is just that good. That touch pass, and I, we watched the highlight of yesterday, that touch pass he threw on Sunday, where he took just like a two step drop and touched it over 20 yards. The dude is just unbelievably good. I think that's going to be a blowout game. And I think that's another lock. So feeling pretty confident on these. Uh, I would go make a three game parlay if I was watching this right now on my picks alone. And then, uh, win yourself some money. There it is. Ryan paulter throwing down the gauntlet. He vows to go three and oh again, DMACC. That's aggressive. Hey, you know what? Proud of them. He's finally taken a lead. I wondered if you knew what it was like with the rarefied air up there that he's sniffing, but we'll see. Uh, usually the rarefied air DMACC. You know, a little bit rarefied air karma comes in his way. So we'll see. Good luck to you, bud. Uh, there it is. Uh, DMACC, uh, we'll take, we'll take you to the stage right now. Absolutely pick these in the dark in the bathroom. I imagine when I put the bears in there and you look, you sent me back the bears and I was like, this is, they're playing Jacksonville. I have this Trevor Lawrence thing that I don't think it's really stuck to me last week. So I am riding with Caleb Williams and the rookie at three and two. It's more against, uh, you're not betting on the bears. You're betting against Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence exactly. I got to ride the lines. You know, I think this is a good spot here, and going into Dallas, obviously, what we talked about and guys will talk about more about the injuries in the secondary. So I think we're going to click on taking them and I got to ride my bills. I mean, if I'm going to talk about it and be about it, they absolutely poo-pooed the bed last time out. So Monday night football, given two going to be a tough game, but, uh, there you go. Ride the favorites. I'm going to get back up to at least, at least eight, nine. All right. So there it is. See, Ryan, how you do that? You don't tempt the gambling gods. You just say, you know, a little winning week. All right. I'll step up. I'll step up to the mic here. All right. My picks here. It's time to get serious about this. I'm five and 10. I don't like it. So you know, oh boy, you know, I'm getting in the woods. I'm getting deeper. I'm getting deep in the streets. Here we go. I think that I'm going to step out on Thursday night football tonight, the San Francisco 49ers, they got to have it. They do not have a choice. They got no choice. They have to win tonight. I think that they will. So, uh, taking the 49ers, uh, their in desperation mode, uh, Friday night, we got a little Friday night football. We're going to the Mountain West, everybody. Of course. I think UNLV is a little overcooked to be at 18 and a half point favorite at Utah State. And anyone who's ever been to Utah State before knows you don't. You don't go to the hills of Utah mountains of Utah. You don't do it and push the Aggies around. I was told that the first year, I was told that the first year we did this. Absolutely. So again, UNLV, I think they're a little overcooked publicly. I could see this as a 14 point game. I think there's a lot of value. Another overcooked team that I'm going against. I will take UAB against army. And you guys know, if I'm putting that, if I'm putting that out there in the atmosphere. Whoa. Now, look, army is trucking people. They're trucking people. Just like they trucked the Germans. But hey, there's a lot of tensions going on around the world right now. Maybe there are tensions a little just like Michigan, Trump's Michigan State. Yeah. There it is. Very non-American. But no, there's issues going on around the world right now. Maybe there are tensions a little diverted. They're not thinking about UAB, those busters. I think you gave up a 70 spot earlier this year. It's just at some point, there's got to be value in the line. At some point, the people got to react. And so I'm going to the dark side, but there, but there we are. Ryan, what do you guys got popping over there? Felman Chevrolet. We, you know, we haven't had any of those. Those Neil lock picks. What are those called again? No, that's your issue. Yeah, you haven't had a get right. Well, you talk about last time I was in Feldman, I gave out the Tigers to make the playoffs at four and a half to one. And I made it. I stand up. You haven't had a football get right. I mean, the only get right. I know of is when you like to pick Michigan, they just lose. Well, I was told there will be no fall off. There we go. There we go. There we go. There we go. He is. Neil is officially banned from picking a Michigan game. Period. You can pick Michigan State all you want. Not Michigan. I'm taking him against Illinois. Blind fire. Blind fire. Yeah. We got Sorokis coming here in a couple of minutes. What? Oh, they're great. And the Sorokis sauce. Oh, yeah. No, we got, listen, Silverados. I mean, we got, we're getting some demo Silverados out of our run a car fleet that are great deals and obviously still pushing the EVs and we're getting super aggressive. We're willing to make any deals. So come on out. Representing the Tigers today, representing the wings on Saturday for the red carpet. Hey, D-Mac, you going to the game? Yeah.

It'll be downtown tonight. Make sure there's festivities and they're playing the ball game. So if you're going to the hot game, get down early to the plaza. They'll be interested to see all the people down there. They're going to be a that's going to be a stoked atmosphere too. No question. I bet there'll be some late arrivals too that people are going to do the double dip. Oh double dip for sure. It's an easy double dip. It is. Take us pretty cheap to get in the wings. How do you like low key? How do you see today's game going? Because we pretty much nailed yesterday's. You know what I'm saying? More of the same, right? A lot of the same ways. Just got to get some timely hits. Yeah. There's nothing. There's not going to be much new under the sun for them, man. Like nothing's changing now. They've seen Tanner Bibido. So it might be a better offense. I just have a feeling that the bats are warming up. You know, like we're going to see more like it's just we got to see green and cool Keith and torque, you know, good at bats and good swings and, you know, putting the ball in play. I think it's a little more of the same, don't you? Oh, absolutely. Um Jake Rogers leading the charge in OPS 844 OPS in the playoffs. Jake, the rake. Ray Rogers, Torkelson of 355 OPS, Riley Green 484. But Jake Rogers number one at 844 Parker Meadows at 650 Parker Meadows or excuse Jake. Jake Rogers could be the MVP if there wasn't a guy named Derek school on the team. Yeah, seriously. So there's that. Um, yeah, again, I'll be, I'll be on the radio call for the Pistons in Phoenix tomorrow night and also Sunday night at Golden State. Also, um, I will not be in Monday. As a matter of fact, I believe stick and Sean Belisian will have you on Sunday. So there, there you go, everybody. There you go. Um, Spenny any last words? Nope. Go Tigers. There it is, everybody for DMACC. Enjoy yourselves down there. Let the boy pitch. We back up. Well, see you later. Hey Amazon Prime members.
