97.1 The Ticket presents a selection of conversations about the Tigers during the past week from Costa & Jansen, Karsch & Anderson, and The Valenti Show. This week the discussion centered around the left elbow surgery of ace Tarik Skubal. Obviously it's not great news, but what does it mean for the team's rest-of-season outlook, and how will they have to adjust until he returns? Including guest appearances by manager A.J. Hinch and Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

The Detroit Pistons take a dominant 2-0 series lead over Cleveland behind historic three-point shooting and stifling defense on a struggling James Harden. The crew breaks down Trajan Langdon's franchise-altering roster moves and discusses a bold $5,000 bet on a Pistons championship run.
