The Detroit Tigers currently rank 3rd in MLB for teams seeing the most pitches in each plate appearance. This is what happens when you lose Lloyd McClendon and Joe Vavra. This is what happens when you hire Scott Coolbaugh to take over as hitting coach.

Totally Tigers

Tigers SRD Podcast: Swept up by an Angel. 73 minutes.

Rogelio is on vacation, so Chris is joined by Jake and Yooper to discuss the ugly Detroit Tigers homestand. The guys talk about the team missing their young sparkplugs, the scramble to field a full roster,
Miguel Cabrera's chase for 500 home runs,
and Jack Morris' stupid racist joke.

Then it's into discussion of the greatness of Shohei Ohtani,
the first revenue sharing proposal from MLB,
and the end of MLB's baseball card partnership with Topps.

Chris then goes on a deranged diatribe about intelligent design, the guys hit their Inside the Numbers and Good, Bad, and Ugly segments,
and they finish by answering a listener question about Beau Brieske.
