BYBTB Tigers podcast: watching the world burn (with special guest Mario Impemba).

Topics in this episode include:

Mario's continued work with the Military Veterans Program that brings veterans to Comerica Park to watch Tigers baseball.

On advantages and disadvantages to being a play-by-play announcer without professional baseball experience.

The differences between working with color analysts who have position player experience vs pitching experience.

On the difficulties of maintaining a calm and collected "game face" during broadcasts when the Tigers are playing frustrating baseball.

Why Brad Ausmus is rarely to blame for rough stretches like these.

Comparing this eight-game losing streak to the 2005 eight-game losing streak and the differences between those two teams.

What does it look like behind the scenes, especially in the clubhouse, when the team is struggling like this.

Is butter pecan really a valid Sno Cone flavor?
 
June 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

Former player Harry Taylor? of Buffalo? is the attorney. Their goal is to negotiate contracts and rules changes.

1915: The 2nd-place Tigers paste the Red Sox? 15 - 0. With lefty Ray Collins on the mound in the 3rd? Ty Cobb swipes home? one of his 3 steals on the day. His steal attempt in the first inning cuts up SS Everett Scott? forcing him to retire. The Tigers manage 17 hits? including 4 by Bobby Veach. Hooks Dauss? with 6 innings pitched? is the winner.

1916: In Detroit? consecutive doubles by Bobby Veach and George Burns stop Babe Ruth's scoreless innings streak at 25. Ruth evens the score with a longest drive ever seen at Navin Field? into the RF bleachers. When Ruth tires in the 9th? Carl Mays relieves and loses? 6 - 5.

1920: The Yankees come from behind to club the host Tigers? 13 - 6. Pacing the Yanks are Bob Meusel? with a double and two singles? and George Mogridge with a bases-loaded double before the Tigers knock him out. Babe Ruth has a single? two walks and is hit with a pitch. The Tigers are playing without Ty Cobb? out ten days with an injured knee.

1937: Mickey Cochrane is taken off Detroit's active-player roster. 3B Marv Owen is sidelined with a broken bone in his hand? and Rudy York is recalled from Toledo to replace him.

1969 - Mickey Lolich's 16 strikeouts in 9 innings ties the Detroit record he set May 23rd? but the Tigers drop a 3 - 2? 10-inning decision to Seattle. Pat Dobson is the loser. The only run off Lolich is a leadoff home run by Dick Simpson on the first pitch of the game.

1970 - Detroit's Willie Horton clubs 3 home runs? including a grand slam? knocking in 7 runs in an 8 - 3 win over Milwaukee.
