Brent Suter became the most recent Cincinnati Reds addition on Thursday and now the bullpen feels complete. After having added Nick Martinez, Emilio Pagan, and bringing back Buck Farmer to add to Alexis Diaz and Lucas Sims. Suter was also a huge add for the Reds considering it was a done deal he was signing with the Chicago Cub not one day before he joined Cincinnati. What does this mean for some players on the bubble? Is Nick Krall truly done making the Reds better after he said he was done making big moves before this one? Also, we take your questions and comments on this LIVE Aloha Friday edition of the podcast.

The other day, with Tommy Pham's home run chain, an interesting connection emerged. Parson Perryman, who gave up Elmer Smith's first home run in 1915, gave up only one other major league home run, to Jack Fournier, who is part of Francisco Lindor's home run chain, which we had not gotten to yet.Lindor hit his 18th home run of the season last night, and 202nd of his career, off Ryne Nelson, as part of the Mets' 9-0 victory in Phoenix, their fifth straight triumph.* Francisco Lindor hit his first home run off Buck Farmer, 6/24/15* Buck Farmer gave up his first home run to Travis Snider, 8/13/14* Travis Snider hit his first home run off Kevin Slowey, 9/4/08* Kevin Slowey gave up his first home run to Eric Chávez, 6/1/07* Eric Chávez hit his first home run off LaTroy Hawkins, 5/15/99* LaTroy Hawkins gave up his first home run to Harold Baines, 4/29/95* Harold Baines hit his first home run off Jim Palmer, 4/19/80* Jim Palmer gave up his first home run to Moose Skowron, 4/19/65* Moose Skowron hit his first home run off Alex Kellner, 4/15/54* Alex Kellner gave up his first home run to Yogi Berra, 4/26/49* Yogi Berra hit his first home run off Jesse Flores, 9/22/46* Jesse Flores gave up his first home run to Nanny Fernandez, 4/29/42* Nanny Fernandez hit his first home run off Hal Schumacher, 4/17/42* Hal Schumacher gave up his first home run to Don Hurst, 4/15/31* Don Hurst hit his first home run off Red Lucas, 5/15/28* Red Lucas gave up his first home run to Jack Fournier, 5/5/24* Jack Fournier hit his first home run off Joe Engel, 8/7/13* Joe Engel gave up his first home run to Donie Bush, 6/10/12* Donie Bush hit his first home run off Ray Collins, 5/17/10* Ray Collins gave up his first home run to Hobe Ferris, 7/30/09* Hobe Ferris hit his first home run off Bill Reidy, 6/11/01* Bill Reidy gave up his first home run to Mike Donlin, 5/25/01* Mike Donlin hit his first home run off Bill Bernhard, 8/26/99* Bill Bernhard gave up his first home run to Jimmy Williams, 7/24/99* Jimmy Williams hit his first home run off Jack Dunn, 6/29/99* Jack Dunn gave up his first home run to Cy Seymour, 5/6/97* Cy Seymour hit his first home run off Bill Hoffer, 4/30/97* Bill Hoffer gave up his first home run to Mike Griffin, 4/26/95* Mike Griffin hit his first home run off Ed Seward, 4/16/87As for last night, it was more than a Good Night for Lindor, it was a great one: 5-for-5 with a homer and two triples — the rare double shy of the cycle. The last time a Met was a double shy was last July 29, when Starling Marte had a single, triple, and homer in Miami. The only other time that a Met was a double shy of the cycle but had another, superior extra-base hit? Rico Brogna with two homers on May 11, 1996 against the Cubs. Shoutout to those who also, like Lindor, had two singles: Gary Carter (1985), Dave Magadan (1990), Damion Easley (2008), Travis d'Arnaud (2017), and Amed Rosario (2019).Lindor is the first Met to finish a double shy of the cycle and have a five-hit game. That's happened only three other times since Brett Gardner became the only player to do this against the Mets, in 2009: Eduardo Escobar (2014 Twins), Tucker Barnhart (2018 Reds), and David Peralta (2021 Diamondbacks). The Mets' record for triples in a game remains three, set by Doug Flynn in 1980. Lindor joins Joe Chrisotpher, back on August 18, 1964, in the Mets' two-triples-and-a-homer-in-the-same-game club. Those hits were important as Christopher hit exactly .300 for the season, joining Ron Hunt as the Mets' first pair of .300 hitters — Richie Ashburn set the early team record at .306 in 1962, and Hunt was the team's batting champ at .272 in the 111-loss second season.

Trace Fowler and Shea Neal recap a "lets move on" game against the Padres. They talk about Brandon Williamson start, the decision to pull Williamson for Buck Farmer, and spend a little time talking Joey Votto.
Elly De La Cruz helped win a game for the Cincinnati Reds with his legs. De La Cruz's base running was the determining factor in the Reds go-ahead run to beat the St Louis Cardinals and secure the series win at Busch Stadium 3. Elly's proving to be every bit worth the hype as he is putting up gaudy numbers all over the place for the Reds. Is De La Cruz's debut the best, though? Or is it Matt McLain's debut, or Andrew Abbott's debut? Also, Will Benson is bouncing back in a big way. If you are out on Benson, you aren't paying attention. The Reds may actually have that diamond in the rough with Will Benson. And maybe also with Buck Farmer, too, who is pitching lights out for the Reds bullpen.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Spencer Steer launched a two-run, go-ahead home run on Wednesday night at Fenway Park over the Green Monster to give the Cincinnati Reds a series win over the Boston Red Sox. Steer's clutch-hitting is just a little of what he brings to the Reds. We look at Steer's candidacy for NL Rookie of the Year and who he is up against. The Reds did a lot to win the Wednesday night thriller against the Red Sox. Luke Weaver pitched well, the bullpen of Ian Gibaut, Alex Young, Lucas Sims, and Buck Farmer held it down, and guys like Kevin Newman, MattMcLain, and Nick Senzel continued to contribute.

The Cincinnati Reds got a walk-off win over the St Louis Cardinals thanks to a sac fly from Nick Senzel. He was just a part of a lineup that feasted on Jordan Montgomery from the Cardinals. Jonathan India and Matt McLain also had multi-hit games for the Reds. The question remains, though, should the Reds move on from Wil Myers?

The Cincinnati Reds were swept by the New York Yankees, but there was one big positive that you should not ignore. Hunter Greene, Luke Weaver...and Ben Lively have all shown that Reds starting pitching is taking a step forward. The bullpen remains solid, despite overuse early this season, and outside of some guys who we expected to be bad options out of the bullpen, Alexis Díaz, Alex Young, Buck Farmer, Lucas Sims, and Ian Gibaut continue to be a strength for this team. It is time to wonder what Reds management will look like when they are good again. David Bell seems to make enough managerial mistakes that leave you wondering where he will be when the Reds are vying for the playoffs in the next few years. Nick Krall has made some head-scratching moves in the past week that make us worry about the Reds roster. Also, what can Reds fans learn from some rational Yankees fans?

The Cincinnati Reds bullpen had already been overworked from the Philadelphia Phillies series, then Hunter Greene left early in the first game with the Tampa Bay Rays. Buck Farmer, Alex Young, Ian Gibaut, and Kevin Herget rose to the occasion, though, and allowed just one run over six innings as the Reds beat the Rays. The Reds bullpen was efficient and effective against a hot Rays lineup. The Reds lineup also stayed hot as Kevin Newman broke out and TJ Friedl had four RBI. Jose Barrero also made an impressive play with a RBI-double and brilliant slide to get to third on the throw in. Hunter Greene got good news after leaving the game early due to getting hit in the shin with a line drive. Lucas Sims also got good injury news and the Reds have a concerning fielding statistic early on this season.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Hunter Greene took a step forward with a good start, the lineup, led by TJ Friedl, propelled the Reds forward, but the Reds bullpen of Ian Gibaut and Buck Farmer couldn't keep the scoreboard clean. With guys like Friedl, a resurgent Jonathan India, a breakout Jake Fraley, and the ever imposing Tyler Stephenson, this Reds lineup will compete. Greene leads a rotation of Nick Lodolo and Graham Ashcraft that can keep the Reds in at least three out of every five games.

Alexis Diaz is the obvious choice for the one we have the most confident in coming out of the Reds bullpen, but who else follows him? Is Luis Cessa or Buck Farmer the reliever we have the second-most confidence in? Where do the injured relief pitchers fall?

The Cincinnati Reds had planned that basically, whatever happened during the 2022 season, they were going to sell, and sell Nick Krall did. Jeff and Steve go over why Nick Krall succeeded so well in his trades of Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, Brandon Drury, and the others. The Reds then had to finish the season with what was left and the pitching shone through. Nick Lodolo, Hunter Greene, Alexis Diaz, and Buck Farmer all proved strong on the mound to end the year. The hitting is really what sealed the 100 loss season as they were not much of a worry for opposing pitchers.*SUBSCRIBE* on YouTube and *FOLLOW* the podcast on your favorite app and on Twitter and Instagram @lockedonredsAlso follow @jefffcarr and @soffenbaker on TwitterJOIN THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/STMcRDyMCtSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

MLB – La Russa steps down as White Sox manager over health issues Tony La Russa stepped down as manager of the Chicago White Sox because of a pair of health issues. The announcement ends a disappointing two-year run in the same spot where the Hall of Famer got his first job as a big league skipper. La Russa is a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of issues with a pacemaker that was implanted in February. La Russa says a different, previously diagnosed health problem led to his departure. La Russa directed Chicago to the AL Central title last year, but the team fell short of expectations this season. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 3 Chicago White Sox 3, Minnesota Twins 2 Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Tigers 4, Mariners 3 – Mariners to start playoffs on road after 4-3 loss to Tigers The Seattle Mariners will start their first playoff trip in two decades on the road after a costly 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, who got a two-run homer from Javier Báez. Sam Haggerty singled with two outs in the ninth inning and hurt his left groin while sliding into second base on a successful steal. He needed assistance to leave the field, an arm draped over manager Scott Servais and an athletic trainer. Haggerty is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. Andrew Chafin struck out Carlos Santana for his third save. Seattle will open a best-of-three series at Toronto or Cleveland on Friday. White Sox 3, Twins 2 – Cueto helps White Sox beat Twins after La Russa steps down The Chicago White Sox watched manager Tony La Russa announce he was leaving his position, and then beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto’s seven effective innings. La Russa stepped down because of a pair of health issues, punctuating a disappointing season for the Hall of Famer in the same spot where he got his first job as a big league skipper. Josh Harrison hit a two-run homer in Chicago’s fourth win in five games. Minnesota dropped to 9-19 in its last 28 games. Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer, and Bailey Ober pitched five innings of two-hit ball. Reds 3, Cubs 1 – Reds avoid 100th loss, beat Cubs 3-1 behind Hunter Greene Hunter Greene pitched six scoreless innings and the Cincinnati Reds remained at 99 losses, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1. The Reds are 61-99 this season. They snapped a six-game skid and can avoid losing at least 100 games for the second time in franchise history if they sweep the three-game series against Chicago. Cincinnati finished 61-101 in 1982. Greene and relievers Derek Law, Buck Farmer and Alexis Diaz combined on a two-hitter to stop the Cubs’ winning streak at seven games. Chicago only got one runner past second base before scoring in the ninth against Diaz, who picked up his 10th save.

Jeff Wilson Jr. also scored on a 32-yard run that gave the Niners their seventh straight regular-season win over their in-state rivals. The Rams won the matchup that meant most in last season’s NFC championship game on the way to a Super Bowl title, but this meeting looked more like their recent regular-season meetings. San Francisco used a relentless defense to slow down coach Sean McVay’s offense and got enough big plays for the win. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Pittsburgh Penguins 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 NBA – National Basketball Association – Preseason Tonight Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks, 7:00 p.m. New Orleans Pelicans at Chicago Bulls, 9:30 p.m. WNBA – Russian court sets Brittney Griner appeal date for Oct. 25 A Russian court has set a date for American basketball star Brittney Griner’s appeal against her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. It has been scheduled for Oct. 25. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. The Moscow region court said Monday it will hear her appeal. Griner’s lawyers argued after the conviction that the punishment was excessive. NWSL – Abuse in women’s pro soccer league was systemic, report says An independent investigation into the scandals that erupted in the National Women’s Soccer League found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the sport, impacting multiple teams, coaches and players. U.S. Soccer commissioned the investigation by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates and a law firm after former NWSL players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual coercion dating back a decade. But it was clear the problems were widespread. Five of the 10 head coaches in the league last season either were fired or stepped down amid allegations of misconduct. Running – Man, 36, dies after running in London Marathon Organizers of the London Marathon say a 36-year-old man died after running in the race on Sunday. London Marathon Events says the man collapsed between miles 23 and 24 of the race. He received immediate medical treatment and an ambulance arrived within three minutes. He died in a hospital in London. The organizers expressed their “sincere condolences” to the man’s friends and family. The cause of death has yet to be established. Fishing – Authorities probing report of scandal at fishing tournament Prosecutors in Cleveland are investigating an apparent cheating scandal during a lucrative walleye fishing tournament over the weekend on Lake Erie. A Twitter video shows Jason Fischer, tournament director for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail event, on Friday cutting open walleye and finding lead weights and prepared fish filets inside the winning catch of five fish to bolster their weight. Anglers Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky were disqualified. Messages seeking comment were left Monday with Runyan, Cominsky and Fischer. A spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says ODNR officers gathered evidence. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley in a statement said “these individuals will be held accountable.” Olympics – Publishing executive charged in Tokyo Olympic bribes scandal A top executive at a major Japanese publisher has been charged with bribing a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member. The charges against Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, a major figure in Japan’s movie and entertainment industry, are the latest in the unfolding corruption scandal related to last year’s Tokyo Summer Games. Kadokawa was arrested Sept. 14 on suspicion of bribing Haruyuki Takahashi with 69 million yen, or $480,000. Takahashi is a former executive at advertising company Dentsu who had great influence in arranging Olympic sponsorships. Kadokawa issued a statement saying he would quit as chairman.

MLB – La Russa steps down as White Sox manager over health issues Tony La Russa stepped down as manager of the Chicago White Sox because of a pair of health issues. The announcement ends a disappointing two-year run in the same spot where the Hall of Famer got his first job as a big league skipper. La Russa is a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of issues with a pacemaker that was implanted in February. La Russa says a different, previously diagnosed health problem led to his departure. La Russa directed Chicago to the AL Central title last year, but the team fell short of expectations this season. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 3 Chicago White Sox 3, Minnesota Twins 2 Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Tigers 4, Mariners 3 – Mariners to start playoffs on road after 4-3 loss to Tigers The Seattle Mariners will start their first playoff trip in two decades on the road after a costly 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, who got a two-run homer from Javier Báez. Sam Haggerty singled with two outs in the ninth inning and hurt his left groin while sliding into second base on a successful steal. He needed assistance to leave the field, an arm draped over manager Scott Servais and an athletic trainer. Haggerty is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. Andrew Chafin struck out Carlos Santana for his third save. Seattle will open a best-of-three series at Toronto or Cleveland on Friday. White Sox 3, Twins 2 – Cueto helps White Sox beat Twins after La Russa steps down The Chicago White Sox watched manager Tony La Russa announce he was leaving his position, and then beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto’s seven effective innings.

The announcement ends a disappointing two-year run in the same spot where the Hall of Famer got his first job as a big league skipper. La Russa is a three-time World Series champion who turns 78 on Tuesday. He left the team on Aug. 30 because of issues with a pacemaker that was implanted in February. La Russa says a different, previously diagnosed health problem led to his departure. La Russa directed Chicago to the AL Central title last year, but the team fell short of expectations this season. MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 4, Seattle Mariners 3 Chicago White Sox 3, Minnesota Twins 2 Cincinnati Reds 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Tigers 4, Mariners 3 – Mariners to start playoffs on road after 4-3 loss to Tigers The Seattle Mariners will start their first playoff trip in two decades on the road after a costly 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, who got a two-run homer from Javier Báez. Sam Haggerty singled with two outs in the ninth inning and hurt his left groin while sliding into second base on a successful steal. He needed assistance to leave the field, an arm draped over manager Scott Servais and an athletic trainer. Haggerty is scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. Andrew Chafin struck out Carlos Santana for his third save. Seattle will open a best-of-three series at Toronto or Cleveland on Friday. White Sox 3, Twins 2 – Cueto helps White Sox beat Twins after La Russa steps down The Chicago White Sox watched manager Tony La Russa announce he was leaving his position, and then beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto’s seven effective innings. La Russa stepped down because of a pair of health issues, punctuating a disappointing season for the Hall of Famer in the same spot where he got his first job as a big league skipper. Josh Harrison hit a two-run homer in Chicago’s fourth win in five games. Minnesota dropped to 9-19 in its last 28 games. Gio Urshela hit a two-run homer, and Bailey Ober pitched five innings of two-hit ball. Reds 3, Cubs 1 – Reds avoid 100th loss, beat Cubs 3-1 behind Hunter Greene Hunter Greene pitched six scoreless innings and the Cincinnati Reds remained at 99 losses, beating the Chicago Cubs 3-1. The Reds are 61-99 this season. They snapped a six-game skid and can avoid losing at least 100 games for the second time in franchise history if they sweep the three-game series against Chicago. Cincinnati finished 61-101 in 1982. Greene and relievers Derek Law, Buck Farmer and Alexis Diaz combined on a two-hitter to stop the Cubs’ winning streak at seven games. Chicago only got one runner past second base before scoring in the ninth against Diaz, who picked up his 10th save.

Jeff Wilson Jr. also scored on a 32-yard run that gave the Niners their seventh straight regular-season win over their in-state rivals. The Rams won the matchup that meant most in last season’s NFC championship game on the way to a Super Bowl title, but this meeting looked more like their recent regular-season meetings. San Francisco used a relentless defense to slow down coach Sean McVay’s offense and got enough big plays for the win. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Pittsburgh Penguins 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 NBA – National Basketball Association – Preseason Tonight Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks, 7:00 p.m. New Orleans Pelicans at Chicago Bulls, 9:30 p.m. WNBA – Russian court sets Brittney Griner appeal date for Oct. 25 A Russian court has set a date for American basketball star Brittney Griner’s appeal against her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession. It has been scheduled for Oct. 25. Griner is an eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. She was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. The Moscow region court said Monday it will hear her appeal. Griner’s lawyers argued after the conviction that the punishment was excessive. NWSL – Abuse in women’s pro soccer league was systemic, report says An independent investigation into the scandals that erupted in the National Women’s Soccer League found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the sport, impacting multiple teams, coaches and players. U.S. Soccer commissioned the investigation by former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates and a law firm after former NWSL players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual coercion dating back a decade. But it was clear the problems were widespread. Five of the 10 head coaches in the league last season either were fired or stepped down amid allegations of misconduct. Running – Man, 36, dies after running in London Marathon Organizers of the London Marathon say a 36-year-old man died after running in the race on Sunday. London Marathon Events says the man collapsed between miles 23 and 24 of the race. He received immediate medical treatment and an ambulance arrived within three minutes. He died in a hospital in London. The organizers expressed their “sincere condolences” to the man’s friends and family. The cause of death has yet to be established. Fishing – Authorities probing report of scandal at fishing tournament Prosecutors in Cleveland are investigating an apparent cheating scandal during a lucrative walleye fishing tournament over the weekend on Lake Erie. A Twitter video shows Jason Fischer, tournament director for the Lake Erie Walleye Trail event, on Friday cutting open walleye and finding lead weights and prepared fish filets inside the winning catch of five fish to bolster their weight. Anglers Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky were disqualified. Messages seeking comment were left Monday with Runyan, Cominsky and Fischer. A spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources says ODNR officers gathered evidence. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley in a statement said “these individuals will be held accountable.” Olympics – Publishing executive charged in Tokyo Olympic bribes scandal A top executive at a major Japanese publisher has been charged with bribing a former Tokyo Olympics organizing committee member. The charges against Tsuguhiko Kadokawa, a major figure in Japan’s movie and entertainment industry, are the latest in the unfolding corruption scandal related to last year’s Tokyo Summer Games. Kadokawa was arrested Sept. 14 on suspicion of bribing Haruyuki Takahashi with 69 million yen, or $480,000. Takahashi is a former executive at advertising company Dentsu who had great influence in arranging Olympic sponsorships. Kadokawa issued a statement saying he would quit as chairman.

The Cincinnati Reds got clobbered by the Milwaukee Brewers as Vladimir Gutierrez and every other pitcher turned in horrible performances. Jeff and Steve look at what went wrong, including terrible bullpen performances from Buck Farmer and Lucas Sims. They also look at the historic nature of the Reds futility and offer to be a Sham-Wow for Reds fans. They then look at the few positives that exist from last night's game including two-way star-in-the-making Matt Reynolds, Mike Moustakas with another multi-hit game, and a great first inning for Reds hitters. Also, shoutout to the Dayton Dragons who are awesome.

Fantasy expert Fred Zinkie and MLB.com's Matthew Leach begin the show by taking a closer look at Rays speedster Mallex Smith and how he compares to Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain. (:27) They also break down what to do with outfielders Jose Pirela, Jacoby Ellsbury and Aaron Hicks. (3:50) Gary Sanchez has returned to last year's form and now should be the No. 1 catcher in fantasy baseball over Buster Posey.

(16:19) Rougned Odor and Kyle Seager are established players that are starting to come around and play well. (18:17) Mitch Haniger is a player that keeps collecting hits and should be picked up if he is available. (21:38) Next, Leach and Zinkie run down a long list of starting pitchers consisting of Buck Farmer (22:45), Sean Newcomb 24:24), Joe and Tyson Ross (26:31), Masahiro Tanaka (30:53) and the Rockies' starting staff (33:06).

Like the Detroit Tigers, we're back! Although... we are a bit rusty. Rob and HookSlide discussed the first week of the new baseball season, remembered 24 of the 25 players on the Tigers' roster (sorry, Buck Farmer), and answered a heap of listener questions in their first episode together in nearly a month. Luckily, there were plenty of good things to talk about. The Tigers are off to a roaring start at 2-0, winning a pair of exciting games over the Miami Marlins. Your fearless podcast hosts break down the important aspects of the two wins, but probably spend just as much time giggling manically at the idea of what a healthy Victor Martinez could do to this Tigers offense. Hey, winning is fun! Of course, things weren't all sunshine and rainbows in South Florida. Francisco Rodriguez struggled, Logan Kensing showed why he is a career MLB journeyman, and... James McCann didn't get a hit? Even manager Brad Ausmus couldn't draw any ire after a job well done through two games. Topics in this week's episode include: Baseball is back! But it might kill us.The Tigers looked very good in MiamiVictor Martinez is healthy and everyone should be terrifiedAnibal Sanchez: not deadCC Sabathia might be in trouble this weekendThe Tigers' difficult April scheduleBad slides and baseball in dressesListener questions!Which baseball players do we hate most?When Brad Ausmus goes right Contents: 2:41 - Rounding the Bases: this is how you win the division 43:31 - Warming in the Pen: tough sledding ahead 58:23 - High and Tight: baseball in dresses 1:12:45 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: more Salty, please 1:33:50 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: who kidnapped Brad Ausmus?

Motor City Bengals Presents "Tiger Talk" with hosts Matt Pelc and Dave Holcomb. On this episode, it's more of the same for the struggling Detroit Tigers, who have fallen three games below .500 with their latest loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The pitching has obviously been a problem, but Pelc and Holcomb share their displeasure with the offense, which has failed to score more than two runs in four of the last five games. And speaking of pitching problems, right-hander Shane Greene is moving to the bullpen in favor of Buck Farmer. Tigers fans should not expect much from Farmer, who has posted an ERA above 9.00 in three appearances this season, but Greene has been so bad, something had to be done.In the second segment, the hosts express their final decision on whether the Detroit Tigers should buy or sell before the trade deadline on Friday. As painful as it may be in the short-term, both Holcomb and Pelc believe it is in the team's best interest to give up on this season and look towards building for the future.Finally, in the "Around the League" segment, the hosts talk about Johnny Cueto to Kansas City, Tyler Clippard to New York, the Hall of Fame Class and some head scratching statements coming from former ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd. All that and more on "Tiger Talk".
On this week's Bless You Boys Podcast, HookSlide has the week off, but we welcome back Detroit News columnist and BYB's own Kurt Mensching back to the show to discuss a disastrous week of Detroit baseball, Joe Nathan vs. the Tigers' fan base, Kurt vs. the Tigers' fan base and Victor Martinez asking for fan support. Bless You Boys Podcast 124 was recorded August 16, 2014, has a running time of 53 minutes and features Al Beaton and Kurt Mensching. Topics: Slumping again: The Tigers would not make the postseason if it began tomorrow. These same Tigers held a seven game lead three weeks ago. Weekend disaster, including ten and 19 inning losses, Joe Nathan is in need of PR lessons. Victor Martinez - "We really need the fans." From Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez and Joakim Soria to Buck Farmer, Robbie Ray and Melvin Mercedes. And we wonder why the Tigers are struggling? On tap, Jim Johnson? The ex-Oriole All-Star and A's washout been up and down while pitching for Triple-A Toledo. Are we a spoiled fan base? Kurt says yes, our friend Rogo says no. All that, plus tangents galore!
