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?   Learn more about your ad choices.

With Rob Rogacki on vacation this week, and HookSlide refusing to do the show solo, the podcast was taken over by the guys from The Podcastellanos to keep things interesting. (Ok, it was really taken over, they were invited by HookSlide, but it sounds more interesting the other way.) In this week's episode, Jordan Hall and Eric Wayne join HookSlide to talk about spring training and what to do now that all the interesting prospects (Jimenez, Fulmer, etc.) have been sent to minor league camp. They also talk about the worst commercials played during Tigers' games, try to remember the last ten starting pitchers on Opening Day, take the usual stack of listener questions, play a Family Feud-style game, and get into some serious power-rankings. Topics include: Tigers Twitter was wrong, againWhat if Anibal Sanchez isn't ready for April?The best and worst television/radio commercials (spoiler: Weingartz didn't make the list)Which Tigers is the most likely to own 10 cats?How do you pronounce "Aviles"?What's going to happen at the trade deadlineWhy live tweeting is the worst Contents 2:46 - Rounding the Bases: Tigers Twitter was wrong about something 33:17 - Warming in the Pen: let’s play the Feud 48:44 - High and Tight: and now for a word from our sponsors … 1:02:03 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: forget spring training, let’s talk about the trade deadline 1:22:16 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: if this van’s a-rockin’, please, please come a-knockin’ Thanks to Jordan and Eric for helping make this show happen.

Things get a little testy on this week's episode! Okay, not really. But Rob and HookSlide celebrate their 25th episode the best way they know how: talking about the Detroit Tigers and laying into an old geezer who thinks stats are ruining baseball. This week's target? Hall of Fame reliever Goose Gossage, who went after stat-heads and current players alike for ruining the game of yesteryear. You know, the one where players like Kirk Gibson fist-pumped their way around the bases after hitting a clutch playoff home run. There's plenty of content prior to that discussion in this week's show. Victor Martinez has a hamstring injury, Anthony Gose is bunting his way to glory, and Steven Moya is hitting the cover off the ball! We also take our usual bag of listener questions, and even throw one back to you! Topics in this week's episode include: Victor Martinez is hurt so we should cancel the season nowWho is the Tigers' backup DH?Anthony Gose and bunting: what could go wrong?Bryan Holaday and Steven Moya are spring training starsThe Detroit Tigers and the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad seventh inningDave Dombrowski and Al Avila are still bros, but how awkward was Al's Thanksgiving?Which former Tiger would help the current roster out the most?The best hats in Major League BaseballJust how wrong can one old pitcher be? Contents: 2:21 - Rounding the Bases: the one guy you didn’t want to get hurt just got hurt 21:07 - Warming in the Pen: the Tigers have been bad at the 7th inning 48:29 - High and Tight: Avila and Dombrowski are still on good terms, sort of 1:03:28 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: speaking hypothetically, nothing means anything 1:30:44 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: Goose Gossage is a [censored] Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Tigers suffered a few more injuries in spring training last week, including Cameron Maybin's wrist fracture, but things as a whole are looking up. Bryan Holaday is hitting the cover off the ball, Steven Moya is drawing walks, and the biggest names on the roster aren't on the injury report. So far, so good, right? The Tigers capped off a productive week in Lakeland, and while we don't care about the results of games -- they're 6-4 after Wednesday's win, our crack research team revealed -- the Tigers are doing plenty of tinkering. Rob and HookSlide delve into these mysteries on this week's podcast, along with some of the position battles taking place throughout the roster. They also gush over a couple prospects -- namely, Joe Jimenez and his wicked breaking ball -- answer a few listener questions, and talk about Anthony Gose's disdain for defensive metrics. Not bad for a week's work. Topics in this week's episode include: Cameron Maybin's brittle wrists, and who replaces him on the rosterAnibal Sanchez and the right arm that won't keep quietWho the **** is Lucas Harrell?How playing 10 games gives you a 0-0 recordBlaine Hardy's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad spring trainingJoe Jimenez and scouting terms to knowListener questions!Steven Moya's future in DetroitAnthony Gose doesn't like stats Contents: 2:09 - Rounding the Bases: who got hurt this week? 20:28 - Warming in the Pen: the Tigers have improved their record to 0-0 39:36 - High and Tight: the spring training storylines are getting good 58:33 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: Moya, Moya, Moya 1:16:01 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: Anthony Gose is having growing pains   Learn more about your ad choices.

Baseball is officially back! Spring training is now in full swing, though we still have another week or so to wait until games begin. This is bad news for our poor beat writers, who are doing their best to churn out content, but good news for The Voice of the Turtle. That is, if you don't mind off-topic discussions about certain risqué Google searches. In this week's show, we take a look at the early storylines of the spring, including Francisco Rodriguez's visa issues and Steven Moya's productive winter. They also sympathize with the beat writers (minus the weather), and break down the Detroit Tigers' latest signings. Listener questions take an odd turn this week, and the lightning round returns! Finally, Rob and HookSlide speak with Steve Mikkelson, oddsmaker for Atlantis Casino in Reno, Nevada, about what goes into a team's preseason World Series odds. Topics in this week's episode include: Spring training is here! Now what?The Tigers are in the best shape of their livesVictor Martinez can swing nowBobby Parnell might be a favorite to make the rosterDo the Indians have enough offense to contend in 2016?Listener questions!Is Brad Ausmus a good manager? Or just noA reasonable breakout from Nick CastellanosOddsmaker Steve Mikkelson takes on the sports betting world Contents 2:18 - Rounding the Bases: what’s holding Shane Greene back? 20:27 - Warming in the Pen: bullpen insurance 30:16 - High and Tight: those pesky White Sox 44:18 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: has Brad Ausmus learned anything? 1:01:39 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: a casino oddsmaker talks about the Tigers Learn more about your ad choices.

The end of darkness is almost here. We are two days away from the Detroit Tigers' first spring training workouts in Lakeland, Florida, and less than two weeks away from hearing Tigers radio announcer Dan Dickerson back on the airwaves! Rob and HookSlide couldn't wait that long, however, so they brought Dan on The Voice of the Turtle to help preview the Tigers' season. Topics range frrom the team's chances at contention to their best moves of the offseason to how the front office has changed under Al Avila. Believe us: this is one interview you don't want to miss! There is always more to talk about, though. Before talking to Dan, Rob and HookSlide take an in-depth look at the Tigers' roster and how it compares to all those computer-generated projections that seem to be so down on the the Tigers' chances this season. They also make their Tiger-centric predictions for the upcoming season, and add in a few prop bets along the way. Topics in this week's episode include: PECOTA projections and whether we should ignore them entirelyMiguel Cabrera: he's really good"Can he stay healthy?" is the Tigers' 2016 mottoRole players that need to step forward this seasonJustin Verlander: staff ace or Hall of Famer?Jordan Zimmermann's transition from the National LeagueUpgrading bullpen expectations from impossibly low standardsThe most important prop bets everListener questions!The Tigers' Baserunning WayDan Dickerson previews the 2016 Tigers Contents: 2:13 - Rounding the Bases: boooo, projection systems! 34:45 - Warming in the Pen: armed and dangerous? 1:01:42 - High and Tight: predictions galore 1:20:51 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: worst-case scenario 1:41:08 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: Dan Dickerson Learn more about your ad choices.

We might be losing it. With no real baseball to talk about over the past two weeks, Rob and HookSlide still found a way to turn in their longest show to date, recording a two-hour, 21 minute podcast entirely about J.D. Martinez's two-year contract extension. ...and a few other things. This week's show also covers what the Tigers' master plan is, what with all the contracts expiring after the 2017 season. In the meantime, Rob and HookSlide also discuss where the Tigers sit in the AL Central race for 2016, and just how good of a job general manager Al Avila did this offseason. They also break away to talk about the team's top prospects, including those heading to spring training as non-roster invitees. Naturally, there were also a few listener questions involved, and Rob finishes up the show with a rant about how awful most of sports media truly is (besides BYB, of course). Please get here soon, baseball. Topics in this week's episode include: What do we call J.D. Martinez's new contract?Al Avila's master plan for baseball dominationThe Tigers' best, worst, and most underrated moves of the winterWhich team will most certainly win the AL Central because we picked them to do soThe players we will have to Google during spring trainingThis whole prospect thing?

Let it be known: we decided to record this podcast before the Detroit Tigers made waves across baseball, signing free agent outfielder Justin Upton to a six-year, $132.75 million contract. See, there's a post and everything. Anyway, what originally planned to be a dull episode became very exciting when the Tigers finished their offseason with a flourish. Rob and HookSlide break down the deal, discuss what it means for the Tigers roster in 2016 (and beyond), and debate whether opt out clauses -- the newest trend in baseball, apparently -- are worth the hassle. Of course, other things have happened too. The Baltimore Orioles signed Chris Davis to a seven-year contract with all sorts of deferred money, while the Kansas City Royals inked Ian Kennedy to a deal more expensive than anyone expected. There are also the never-ending Yoenis Cespedes rumors to discuss, and St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak's recent comments about the DH making its way to the National League. It's good to be back. Topics in this week's episode include: Whether Al Avila is listening to this podcastThe benefits to Justin Upton's opt out clauseHoly crap we signed Justin Upton (the exuberance was a bit delayed)Bruce Rondon's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad offseasonChris Davis' roundabout trip back to BaltimoreAll the drugs the Royals must be takingAre the Tigers World Series contenders?Listener questions!Who bats where?Does the National League need the DH?Old-timey baseball, or at least a way to return to it Learn more about your ad choices.

Mere hours after Rob and HookSlide finished recording their last episode of The Voice of the Turtle, the Tigers' new general manager pulled the trigger on yet another move, acquiring left-handed reliever Justin Wilson from the New York Yankees. Sent the other way were two pitching prospects, righthanders Luis Cessa and Chad Green. The deal is a week old, but this is our hosts' first chance to take a look at the move, and they do it with the help of Tanya Bondurant, managing editor of Pinstripe Alley, SB Nation's excellent Yankees community. Tanya tempers expectations a bit, but given her lofty standards for bullpen arms -- the Yankees have both Andrew Miller and Dellin Beances at the back of their pen, remember -- we lowly Tigers fans should still be happy about the improvements made thus far. Topics in this week's episode include: Egg nog: fair or foul?What the Tigers are getting in Justin WilsonIs this a good bullpen?Outfield options, and if another addition is neededBruce Rondon got into more troubleJordan Zimmermann's contract looks even betterThe Tigers Way: a necessary endeavorWhy Ender Inciarte isn't the godsend some thinkInterview with Tanya Bondurant of Pinstripe AlleyDo the Yankees care about losing Justin Wilson? Contents: 3:51 - Rounding the Bases: Is the bullpen finally good? 19:47 - Warming in the Pen: tweak the roster now, or do it later? 27:18 - High and Tight: Bruce Rondon is a brawler – is that ok? 45:35 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: who’s getting traded before April? 1:05:09 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: what do Yankees fans think of the Justin Wilson trade?

Not two minutes into last week's episode of The Voice of the Turtle, Rob told our faithful listeners that the Detroit Tigers -- and other MLB teams, for that matter -- wouldn't be up to much over the Thanksgiving holiday. Like usual, both he and HookSlide were dead wrong. Sure, things calmed down a bit after now-former Tigers catcher Alex Avila signed with the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, but the weekend came to a loud and abrupt close when the Tigers inked Jordan Zimmermann to a five-year, $110 million contract. Not to be outdone, the Boston Red Sox signed David Price (another former Tiger!) to a seven-year, $217 million contract just hours before we recorded. Oh, how good it is to be wrong. There was plenty to talk about on this week's podcast, from the new contracts to how the Tigers are going to fill out their roster to the interesting comments owner Mike Ilitch made during Zimmermann's introductory press conference. We also take another round of listener questions, and even ponder what Thanksgiving was like this year in the Avila household. Topics in this week's episode include: Nope, nothing happened last week. Not at all.Dan Dickerson likes Jordan Zimmermann, and you should tooWhat do we make of the Tigers starting rotation?The Winter Meetings are coming! The Winter Meetings are coming!Does Al Alburquerque have a place in next year's bullpen?Alex Avila is now the enemyJohnny Cueto doesn't like the desertHow many 'n's are on this thing?Listener questions!Mike Ilitch says YOLO to the luxury taxWho is really at fault for the Tigers' problems?

It's Thanksgiving week, but before you sit down to stuff your face, old Uncle Mort has a few burning questions. Namely, what are the Detroit Tigers doing? He also wants to know why Brad Ausmus is still around, but you haven't had enough gravy to answer that question yet. On this week's podcast, Rob and HookSlide break down the trades that brought Francisco Rodriguez and Cameron Maybin to Detroit, try to decipher general manager Al Avila's master plan, and decipher what big data baseball moves are coming to the Tigers organization. Rob also reveals his strategy for answering Tigers-related questions at Thanksgiving, and HookSlide explains why a Doug Fister reunion is a good thing. The overarching theme of the week, of course, is analytics. The Tigers are using them more and more, but Avila's jigsaw puzzle is far from finished. There are a few pieces still missing, and some over-sized pieces that tend to break easily. Still, there is a lot of time left in the offseason -- we're not even at the Winter Meetings yet! -- and a bit of cash to spare. Stay patient, Tigers fans. Topics in this week's episode include: K-Rod is not Joe NathanMontreal Robertson: baseball pitcher or TV detective?BLOCKBUSTER TRADES (involving Liam Hendriks)Marcell Ozuna may be on the moveIs this outfield finished?How to deal with old Uncle Mort at ThanksgivingWhere the Tigers fit in big data baseball Contents 2:29 - Rounding the Bases: Al Avila is the anti-Dombrowski 32:31 - Warming in the Pen: the Marlins are a merry-go-round of madness 46:39 - High and Tight: the Tigers aren't done upgrading the outfield, right?

After what might be the most painful week of the baseball offseason -- January is Netflix and chill month, if we're being honest -- Rob and HookSlide are back to discuss and debate all of the Hot Stove action that took place! Unfortunately, there wasn't much. There were a few rumors, though, including the potential return of 2015 Tigers closer Joakim Soria, and a longshot reunion with 2006 draft pick Andrew Miller. Will those moves happen? We don't know, but our fearless co-hosts did their best to predict the future with a free agent draft. There was a bit of actual news to discuss as well. The Tigers hired new analytics expert Jay Sartori to bolster the front office, but lost reliever Guido Knudson and prospect JaCoby Jones to waivers and a suspension, respectively. Plus, Rob and HookSlide answer your listener questions, including the one must-have free agent on the market this offseason. Topics in this week's episode include: The worst parts of the baseball offseasonWhy in the world the Tigers are interested in Andrew MillerA showdown between Darren O'Day and Joakim SoriaAwful pirate jokes, and where Guido Knudson fits inWhether Jay Sartori was responsible for the iPhone 6sWhich free agents are not worth a draft pickThe Twins and Indians, and why anyone cares about themThe harsh reality of minor league suspensionsAl Avila's master planListener questions!Which bullpen pitchers are actually worth holding ontoThe free agent draft game!

On this week's episode, Rob and Hookslide discuss the news of the first few days of the offseason, break down what the Tigers should (and should not) do over the course of the winter, and vent their frustrations over the loss of yet another awesome thing on the internet: Grantland. Our hosts are also joined by special guest Meg Rowley, a very talented writer who can be found at Lookout Landing, Baseball Prospectus, and Just a Bit Outside. Meg offered up her unique opinion on being a female in a male-dominated sports industry, discussed the strides baseball is making to better integrate its game, and whether she would ever get to see a female player or coach in a Major League Baseball game in her lifetime. Topics in this week's episode include: The savior of the pitching staff is here!Daniel Norris is cancer-free!Shane Greene is throwing againThe offseason is here, and we need new playersWere the Kansas City Royals actually a great team?Grantland is no more, and it's all because the internet sucksWhich Tigers would be great Big Lebowski characters?The importance of ESPN's Jess MendozaThe importance of gender integration in baseball Contents: 2:56 - Rounding the Bases: changes for the 2016 pitching staff 20:03 - Warming in the Pen: really, that guy might be back in 2016? 36:02 - High and Tight: the Kansas City royals are still a fluke, right? 56:42 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: the offseason – what’s the worst that could happen? 1:10:13 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: who doesn’t want women involved with sports?!

How do you fix the Detroit Tigers? There are a lot of different solutions, and most of them involve a lot of money. Rob and HookSlide have other ideas, though, and they share them on this week's episode of The Voice of the Turtle. Rob delivers his offseason plan for the Tigers, including what it takes to "coordinate" the roster for maximum efficiency. Meanwhile, HookSlide avoids increasing his stress levels when discussing bullpen roles. After all, we need to be ready for next year's World Series, right? In addition to Pinky and the Brain discussing what they're going to do this offseason, our fearless hosts break down the Tigers' search for a new pitching coach, the Tigers' trade options, and whether the Tigers would be better off with one of the other available managers on the open market this offseason. Plus, what's late October without a little Halloween fun? If you're interested in hearing about what Tigers players should dress up as, this podcast is for you. Topics in this podcast include: Who will be the Tigers' next pitching coach?Trade Anibal Sanchez! Trade Jose Iglesias!

It's MLB playoffs time, and that means one thing! Well, unfortunately, this year it means no more Detroit Tigers baseball, and no more podcasts as your fearless hosts have been enjoying the postseason festivities. While no baseball is being played, there has been plenty of note in Tigers land lately. Daniel Norris was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, while Jeff Jones announced his retirement from baseball, all within the span of a few hours on Monday afternoon. Rob and HookSlide also rehash some old news in discussing general manager Al Avila's plan for the offseason, take some listener questions, and finish off the show with a debate on takeout slides, one of the hotter topics of this year's postseason. Topics in this week's episode include: The worst Saturday ever (for Rob, at least)Playoffs! They're fun! And not stressful!The best bat flips ever, and whether they're actually bat flipsTigers postseason awards, including an unlikely Cy Young candidateDaniel Norris is diagnosed with thyroid cancerThe Tigers need a new pitching coachAl Avila: the man with the planWho should the Tigers not sign?Listener questions!The future of Miguel Cabrera's hairTakeout slides, and when enough is enough Contents: 4:20 - Rounding the Bases: really good postseason, or best postseason ever? 29:57 - Warming in the Pen: Daniel Norris was diagnosed with what? 48:48 - High and Tight: Al Avila's got a plan! 1:08:09 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: insane sports radio callers 1:33:15 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: play the game hard, just not that hard Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode, Rob and HookSlide talk about the biggest news in Tigers-dom: Tom Gorzelanny's new arm angle and whether Neftali Feliz should be tendered a contract. Oh, and that whole thing about Ausmus returning next year, too. They also look east to discuss the feud that went down in our nation's capital between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper, and point out the key differences between the still employed Brad Ausmus and newly-fired Matt Williams. Topics in this week's episode include: Pick protected!Why the No. 9 overall draft pick is a good thingJ.D. Martinez didn't hit 40 homers, but that's OKDaniel Norris threw 54 pitches in an inning and everyone hated itTom Gorzelanny, Neftali Feliz, and other players we don't want to see in 2016Guess who's back?

In this week's episode Rob and HookSlide discuss the week that was in Detroit Tigers baseball... all four games of it. Luckily, they were some eventful games, including a Maddux, near-no-hitter, and more #MustSeeJV. Mixed in with all the on-field madness was an off-field fiasco, the dismissal of reliever Bruce Rondon. The Tigers haven't said much, but fans have been able to read between the lines to get an idea of what exactly infuriated the team so much. Then, to properly celebrate the only team in the organization with playoff success, we invited Whitecaps play-by-play announcer Dan Hasty into the virtual studio to break down their improbable run to the Midwest League Championship. Topics in this week's episode include: An eventful series against the Chicago White SoxJeff Samardzija's free agent market, and how to actually spell his nameThe Whitecaps!The Tigers' farm system, and whether all these prospect gurus are wrongThe AL Central in 2016 and beyond, including the terrifying Minnesota Twins (yes, really)Whether this is the most pivotal Tigers offseason in recent memoryBruce Rondon's early winter vacationThe future of baseball and medicineListener questions!What in the world happened to Kurt MenschingA conversation with Whitecaps play-by-play announcer Dan Hasty Contents 2:10 - Rounding the Bases: at least the Tigers are winning championships somewhere!28:09 - Warming in the Pen: sizing up the AL Central44:46 - High and Tight: how to get extra vacation time using this one weird trick!1:07:34 - Into the Mob Scene at Home: maybe we should send this player home early, too1:30:41 - The 7th Inning Kvetch: talking with Whitecaps PBP announcer Dan Hasty about how you get this lucky Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Rob and HookSlide discuss tanking, Draft Kings fever, and whether or not fans should boo their team. The Detroit Tigers have been solid lately, winning three of the past four series they have played, including a recent series victory over the Kansas City Royals. Baseball is getting more watchable in Detroit, and Tigers fans just aren't sure how to handle it. Amid their restlessness, Rob and HookSlide discuss the recent boo birds that have come to nest at Comerica Park, and the pros and cons of daily fantasy sports. Their commercials -- and auto-playing video web ads -- might be the devil, but the product is, dare we say, kind of fun? Also, what should you be watching for as the Tigers play out the last two weeks of the season, and is it worth it to spoil the Minnesota Twins' playoff hopes?

The bright spots are getting fewer and fewer, and unfortunately, things aren't very fun in Tiger Town at this point. That didn't stop Rob and HookSlide from bantering back and forth about the week that was for nearly two hours, though. There was plenty to talk about, including the recent rumors about manager Brad Ausmus' job security. We're still 20-odd games from debating legitimate candidates for the new job, but a name or two may have popped up in this episode. We also get away from the doom and gloom of Tigers baseball for a moment to discuss what the MLB playoffs have in store for us. Topics in this week's episode include: The Tigers are still badJ.D. Martinez is slumping, but are we concerned?Why the Tigers designated Daniel Fields for assignmentThe potential for a protected draft pick, and why that mattersWhether Anthony Gose will be the center fielder in 2016Who we're rooting for in OctoberBrad Ausmus' chances at staying in Detroit next season (Spoiler: 0 percent)The early frontrunner to become the Tigers' next managerListener questions!

Since Rob and HookSlide last went back and forth on episode three of The Voice of the Turtle, the Detroit Tigers have lost nine of their 11 games. They have dropped 20 (!) games behind the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central and are close to scraping the bottom of the American League's depths. This means one thing: bad September baseball! Obviously, we're not excited about this, but episode five of the podcast helps shed some light on a few bright spots and things to watch in the last month of the season. Topics in this week's episode include: HookSlide wanted a dumpster fire in Toronto, and he got oneJustin Verlander is still worth watchingWhat is a pseudoaneurysm? Will Shane Greene be okay?The excitement (or lack thereof) of September call-upsWays to stay entertained by meaningless games in SeptemberAre the Tigers giving up on the 2015 season?Will Victor Martinez bounce back in 2016?Listener questions! Including whether Nick Castellanos' pants have a certain mojo about them.What kind of manager should the Tigers hire, assuming Brad Ausmus is fired? Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the podcast, HookSlide talks about baseball, brains, and your brain on baseball. Justin Verlander has certainly returned to dominant form, and just in case we were still on the fence about that, he just took a no-hit bid into the ninth inning in his last performance. Verlander's resurgence will certainly make General Manager Al Avila's job in 2016 a bit easier, because, hey, who can't build a decent starting rotation when you've got an ace like Verlander to be the cornerstone? Going into weekend, the Tigers get to face the Toronto Blue Jays and their ridiculously good offense, and on the mound they'll be sending out ... Boyd, Farmer, and Simon? So who will get shelled the least? At least one MLB team is making plans to extend the nets at the ballpark and do something to preserve fan safety from flying foul balls. Why are some people opposed to this? In the final segment of the podcast, a licensed professional counselor who specializes in neurofeedback "brain training" talks about what EEG data can do for athletes looking to achieve peak performance, and explains what happens in the brain when a player gets angry and starts smashing water coolers.

With the Detroit Tigers inching closer to the playoffs despite a rotation held together with bubble gum and paperclips, Rob and HookSlide return for another episode of The Voice of the Turtle, and discuss whether 2015 is all for naught or if there is still a chance at cracking the AL wild card this season. Topics in this week's episode include: How fun was that series against the Chicago Cubs?Who is actually in the starting rotation now?Miguel Cabrera: good at baseballJustin Verlander: also good at baseballThe key to Nick Castellanos' turn-aroundCan the Tigers actually make the playoffs?Dave Dombrowski: Public Enemy No. 1 (sort of)Your weekly "this bullpen is awful" segmentListener questions!Why are you a Tigers fan?

After a tumultuous trade deadline in Tiger Town, things returned to normal last week. And by normal, we mean losing. The Tigers lost two of three to both the Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals. HookSlide and Rob talk about these games, the upcoming week of Tigers baseball, and how to fix the beleaguered Detroit bullpen without burning the whole thing to the ground. Topics in this week's episode include: * This podcast has a name! * What happened against the Boston Red Sox? * Victor Martinez might be back to his old self * Jefry Marte is good, but how good? * What are we watching for as the Tigers finish out 2015? * The single-biggest thing to be excited about for the Tigers in 2016 * The dugout fight that was (or wasn't) * Listener questions! *How to fix the bullpen   Learn more about your ad choices.
