Min 5: Charlamos con el guionista de Marco Jorge Gil ha sido una de las presencias destacadas en el Festival CIBRA de Toledo gracias al preestreno de “Marco”. El co-guionista habitual de “Los Moriarti” (“Loreak”, “Handía” “La Trinchera infinita”) nos habla de la minuciosa y exigente traslación al papel y a la pantalla de la vida del “impostor” Enric Marco y de la dimensión del papel de Eduard Fernández. Min 13: FILTRANDO A MARCO ¿LA PELI DE LOS GOYA? Tras la charla con Jorge Gil llega el momento del análisis y las puntuaciones en nuestro “Filtro Luchini”. La nueva película de los Moriarti huele a Premios Goya en varias categorías pero nos toca conocer las valoraciones de Alberto Luchini, Raquel Hernández y Roberto Lancha. Puntuación EDC: 4 estrellas Min 23: RESTO DE ESTRENOS El cine español manda en la semana post-Halloween con una batería de títulos que van desde la comedia ácida a la más desenfadada. Min 24: VERANO EN DICIEMBRE (Carolina África) Puntuación EDC: 3 estrellas Min 26: AMANECE EN SAMANÁ (Rafa Cortés) Puntuación EDC: 3 estrellas Min 31: RED ONE (Jake Kasdan) Puntuación EDC: 1'5 estrellas Min 46: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON JORGE GIL El coguionista de “Marco” nos cuenta por qué “Gorilas en la Niebla” (1988) fue la película que marcó un antes y un después en su vínculo con el cine. Min 49: ESPECIAL BSO “ESCAPE” Y justo después de conocer cuál es la peli de la vida de Jorge Gil llegará el momento de desvelar por qué la banda sonora de la también española “Escape” con la marca de agua del más que solvente Víctor Reyes, se merece ocupar nuero diván de la música de cine. La cinta de Rodrigo Cortés y Mario Casas se la ha pegado en taquilla, pero atención a lo que hay detrás de su envoltorio musical, porque merece mucho la pena.

Woo! Hoy en #UnLugarSinLímites tendremos el honor de recibir a Valeria y Victor ¡REYES DEL CARNAVAL DE CAMPECHE 2025!

Min 4: MANO DE HIERRO: Netflix no se rinde Se ha hecho viral en un solo fin de semana y lo tiene todo para ser otro de esos títulos que dan la vuelta al mundo bajo el todavía poderoso paraguas de Netflix. “Mano de hierro”, dirigida por el joven e impetuoso Lluis Quílez, puede presumir de tener uno de los repartos más solventes del momento. Eduard Fernández, Jaime Lorente, Chino Darín, Natalia de Molina o Sergi López conforman el complejo puzle que propone una serie llena de sorpresas y de golpes de guión. Con Raquel Hernández sopesamos las virtudes y los defectos de una propuesta que amenaza con poner fin al reinado de “Reina Roja” en Prime. Min 15: NUGGET DE POLLO (Netflix) No, no es una broma, ni una errata, ni se nos ha colado por despiste un entrante típico de menú de comida rápida en nuestro menú seriéfilo de la semana. “Nugget de pollo” es la rareza coreana que nos recomienda nuestra experta como contrapunto divertido a la lluvia de series intensitas que nos rodean. No va a ser la serie del año, pero en lo 30 minutos que dura cada capítulo, el humor sideral y aceitoso que envuelve la historia de una chica que se convierte en nugget de pollo puede hacerte pasar un buen rato sin exponer ni una sólo de tus neuronas. Min 21: MANHUNT: la intensidad la pone Apple TV En medio del pulso incombustible entre Prime, Netflix, Disney, HBO o Movistar, la americana Apple TV no quiere perder altura y acaba de subir a su menú la ambiciosa “Manhunt: la caza del asesino”. Monica Beletsky convierte en serie policiaca las pesquisas y los detalles que rodearon al primer asesinato de un presidente de los Estados Unidos. Abraham Lincoln y su asesino se convierten en los ejes centrales de esta miniserie de siete episodios que, pese a su complejidad, sale muy bien parada de El Filtro Rachel. Min 27: ESPECIAL BSO: REYES Y SU “REINA ROJA” Dos plataformas, tres títulos a debate y una propuesta musical que trae Ángel Luque y que tiene que ver con uno de los grandes éxitos mundiales de Prime Video. Es española, adapta un aclamado best seller y lleva dando que hablar casi un mes. Una REINA ROJA se tumba hoy en el diván de las bandas sonoras, para demostrar que la composición de Victor Reyes, que ya nos sorprendió en la aclamada EL AMOR EN SU LUGAR, está incluso por encima de la calidad global de la serie más exitosa de Prime.

In this final episode, we turn to people living with HIV today — longtime survivors of a plague who, despite their pain, frustrations and desires to just be done with it, realize they can't be done with it. These are people like Kia LaBeija, an artist who has been HIV-positive since birth, who turned to photography at 16, shortly after her mother died, to help make sense of her story. And they are people like Phill Wilson, an activist who still bears the scars of his decades fighting in the HIV and AIDS trenches; Valerie Reyes-Jimenez, the proudly positive woman we met in the first episode, who talks about what it's like to age as a HIV-positive woman; Victor Reyes, one of the children who went through Harlem Hospital and lived long enough to grow up and start a family of his own; and Lizzette Rivera, who who lost her mother to AIDS in 1984 and spent decades trying to find her mother's burial spot so that she could properly mourn and honor her. Together, these five remind us that the HIV and AIDS epidemic is not over — and there is still so much we need to do to bring it out of the shadows.Voices in this episode include:• Kia LaBeija, a former mother of the House of LaBeija, is an image-maker and storyteller born and raised in Hell's Kitchen in the heart of New York City. Her performative self-portraits embody memory and dream-like imagery to narrate complex stories at the intersections of womanhood, sexuality and navigating the world as an Afro Filipina living with HIV.• Warren Benbow is a drummer who has worked with Nina Simone, James “Blood” Ulmer, Betty Carter and Whitney Houston, among others. He grew up in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, and went to the High School of Performing Arts. Warren is Kia's father.• Phill Wilson is the founder of the Black AIDS Institute, AIDS policy director for the city of Los Angeles at the height of the epidemic, and a celebrated AIDS activist in both the LGBTQ+ and Black communities since the early 1980s.• Valerie Reyes-Jimenez is a HIV-positive woman, activist and organizer with Housing Works. She saw the AIDS crisis develop from a nameless monster into a pandemic from her home on New York City's Lower East Side.• Victor Reyes was born at Harlem Hospital Center and spent much of his childhood receiving treatment and care at the hospital's pediatric AIDS unit. He is the director of an after school program at a grade school in Washington, D.C. He also does research at the Global Community Health Lab at Howard University.• Lizzette Rivera is a data analyst who remains haunted by her mother's death in 1984. Rivera spent years trying to find the whereabouts of mother's burial site on Hart Island. She finally succeeded in 2020. She now visits her mother's grave regularly.Blindspot is a co-production of The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with The Nation Magazine.A companion photography exhibit by Kia LaBeija featuring portraits from the series is on view through March 11 at The Greene Space at WNYC. The photography for Blindspot was supported by a grant from the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, a nonprofit organization that promotes coverage of social inequality and economic justice.

NYC Now presents a special episode from Season 3 of Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows. Valerie Reyes-Jimenez called it “The Monster.” That's how some people described HIV and AIDS in the 1980s. Valerie thinks as many as 75 people from her block on New York City's Lower East Side died. They were succumbing to an illness that was not recognized as the same virus that was killing young, white, gay men just across town in the West Village.At the same time in Harlem, the 17th floor of the area's struggling public hospital was filling up with infants and children who arrived and then never left. Some spent their whole lives on the pediatric ward, celebrating birthdays, first steps and first words with the nurses and doctors who had become their surrogate family. Welcome to Harlem Hospital at the height of the HIV and AIDS epidemics.When the nurses and doctors at this community hospital first began to see infants suffering from an unusual wasting disease, they were alarmed. They had heard that a strange new illness was killing gay men, but no one was talking about women and children. Soon, however, it became clear that HIV was sweeping through Harlem, sickening mothers who then passed it — unknowingly — to their kids. As the crisis grew, AIDS turned the pediatrics ward of Harlem Hospital into a makeshift home — and a makeshift family — for kids who were either too sick to go home, or who no longer had families to go home to.You can listen to more episodes of Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows here.Voices in the episode include:• Valerie Reyes-Jimenez is an HIV-positive woman, activist, and organizer with Housing Works.

Mailbag Wednesday: Pedro Grifol preaches fundamentals and the Chicago White Sox beat the Milwaukee Brewers. As White Sox spring training continues to plug along, fans hear more and more about the initiatives of first time manager Pedro Grifol. He has emphasized culture and chemistry while also focusing on fundamentals. Could Grifol be the difference maker? Will he be the reason this team is successful in 2023? It's too early to tell but fans seems to like what they have seen and heard so far. The Sox have tough decisions to make when it comes to certain roster spots, specially with regards to the utility/bench roles. Romy Gonzalez, Leury Garcia, Hanser Alberto, Gavin Sheets, Billy Hamilton and Victor Reyes are all vying for essentially three spots. Who's in and who's out? Tim Anderson talks about Jose Abreu's recent comments regarding the 2022 team. Anderson agrees with Abreu that the Sox were not a family and Anderson believes that's why it's so very important for the Sox to come together sooner rather than later.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Luke and Alex are finally back for a new season of the Michigan and Trumbull podcast - now available on Substack! Head over to michiganandtrumbull.substack.com to subscribe for a regular email with the show transcript and more! We're also now on Tik-Tok - if you're there, come hang out!Episode Transcript:Alex Freeman: This is the Michigan and Trumbull podcast with your hosts Alex S. Freeman and Luke Jaconis.Hello and welcome to season four of the Michigan and Trumble podcast. New, intro sound for you there. we're back on video if you're joining us over here on the YouTube. but as always, like a bad penny, haven't been able to get rid of him. Joined, by Luke Jaconis. I'm Alex Freeman. welcome to the show. If you're just joining us for the first time, Luke, it's been a minute since, we've dropped an episode. How you been?Luke Jaconis: I've been very well. Very well. Four, seasons of this show, entering the fourth season. Who would have thunk it? We've already done better than the Friends spin off Joey, so that's at least we've got that going for us.Alex Freeman: That's something.Luke Jaconis: Life, has been good. Life has been great. Very busy these, last couple of weeks, last couple of months. I would say that I missed talking Tigers baseball, but I'm just going to say up front, I'm going to come in very pessimistic off the bat. I didn't miss it at all because A, they didn't do anything this offseason, which I know we're going to get to in a little bit. And B, and this is probably the wrong way to look at it. I still got a sour taste in my mouth from 2022. I'm not over it yet. I know we kind of did our grievances episode in November, remember, where we tried to exercise all of our demons, but I'm just a little bit upset about it. And then you take into consideration the moves or lack thereof going into this off season. There's not a ton to be happy to be happy about right now if you're a Detroit Tigers fan, in my opinion. But, as I texted you, Alex, this season I'm going to try to practice, patience. I m am going to try and practice restraint. And I look forward to that lasting me about, I don't know, another four or five minutes into this episode and then I intend to blow a gasket like anger from inside out.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I think that we're going to be set up, nicely for that. So a few housekeeping things at the top here which I think will keep you from blowing a gasket. we are mixing up the structure of the show a little bit, as we enter season four. So we're planning to drop episodes every two weeks that seems to, from the past three years be the rhythm that is sustainable for us through the season. without coming to you and just kind of repeating everything we've said in the previous episode, we're going to be focusing more a little bit on Big Picture than Day to Day of the Team. I think that there's a lot of great ways in which you can follow Day To Day, Tigers news, that type of minutiae. We're going to kind of take the broader look, at kind of what trends are we seeing in the team. what is the vibe check of the fan base, as well as including some more, kind of stats and trivia and that kind of stuff into the show as well. as we go through that, one thing you may or may not notice, hopefully you don't actually notice if you just are a regular subscriber of the show on a podcast app. We have migrated the home of the show to Substack. you can find us at Michiganandtrumbull substac.com. there you can subscribe to the show. we haven't yet mixed in any long form blogging or anything. but if you do go over to the show and you subscribe, you'll, get an email every time a new episode drops so you don't miss one. And then throughout the season we'll be experimenting with substance in ways in which we can interact with all of you, in those spots. So do go over to Michigan and Trumble, substac.com and subscribe. But if you are an audio listener to the show, hopefully you notice nothing different. because that means that I did everything right on the back end to migrate the show over to substack. yeah. Luke, any other housekeeping that I've forgotten here?Luke Jaconis: no. that was great. For real great stuff. Lots of fun changes happening. All jokes and bits aside, the fact that we've made it four seasons and a that I guess we haven't really got into the fourth season. So we don't know if people are going to listen or watch the show. But the fact that we haven't been at least canceled on Twitter, the fact you and I haven't strangled each other yet, albeit even virtually or via, we've nearly outlasted Twitter itself, I know that's saying something. That's saying something. So I am very excited to embark on a fourth season. And although I truly wasn't that jazz to talk Tigers baseball these last couple of months, the fact that we're getting close to spring training, the World Baseball Classic is coming around. It's impossible for me not to get a little excited, a little jittery, even though I know my team is going to absolutely, I think, rip my heart out once again. This season, and I can't wait to do it. I do have one last piece of information to announce before we get into the show. I did legally change my name, this offseason, and I'm now going to display that on my zoom, link below.Alex Freeman: Hey. luke as the tigers. Sorry, Luke. I apologize for using, your old name there. I'm the Tigers third baseman. somebody has it's me. Somebody's got to be the Tigers third baseman. which I think, Luke, that is a beautiful transition to bring us into the first new, official segment of the show, which is a Luke rant. This is wonderful. Really great.Luke Jaconis: It's great. I got theme music and everything. After four after three seasons editing the fourth season, I got I got theme music. I don't want to listen to it for a second.Alex Freeman: Yeah. My big mouth, more or less a live reaction from Luke here.Luke Jaconis: I like it. I like it. I feel like, if for those, you are WWE fans, just like the theme music, like a jobber that's about to come out and just get his absolute teeth kicked in in a matter of 10 seconds by, like, the guy, the big bad baddie that's trying to get over. That's the job or theme song perfect. And that's what exactly I am a jobber. Look, I like the rant. Ranting is fun. It also makes it cleanses the soul. this really, I don't think is going to be a rant. It might snowball into one. I'm just frustrated, folks. Am I the only one who's not frustrated out there with this team? What they have done, or like I said, lack thereof, that they've done going into this season, going off, 2022. We all know that it was a huge letdown. Injuries underperforming, historically one of the worst offenses, if not the worst offense, in the modern era of baseball. Just absolutely atrocious. They fire Aloe Vila. We throw the parade. We're all stoked. We bring in this new guy, Scott Harris. He's saying all the right things. kind of wrapping up the 2022 season, going into the 23 off season. And while we didn't expect him to go out there and make those big contracts and big signings like we all may have liked, I think we at least expected in some capacity, some moves to be made. And while, yes, they did bring back, Matthew Boyd, and they did sign Michael Lorenzen, they did make the trade. Send Joe Jimenez to Atlanta, and we will get later into the one big trade that actually did enjoy the Tigers and the Phillies made. Take all that out of the equation. They really didn't do anything. And let's not try to polish a turd and tell me it's a three dollar bill. That's not even a saying. But I just made it up. let's not pretend and be naive to the fact that they actually made a lot of insanely impressive or great moves. And I've heard the people on Twitter and I've read the blogs and all that stuff. We have to give Scott Harris a fair shake. He's inheriting Alavila's mess. Chris Ilochi is still the owner of this team. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I do think there is some truth to that. I said this towards the tail end when Scott Harris got hired. The fans, at least in my opinion, aren't going to be patient, and I don't think they need to be patient. They've been patient for eight years now, and they've had absolutely nothing to show for it. They haven't played playoff baseball since 2014. They haven't had a winning season of 500 or better since 2016. Came pretty close in 2021. But then we obviously saw a huge step back in 2022. So I just am annoyed. I'm just frustrated. I'm trying to be positive, but there's just no need or reason for me or I think, other fans to be positive. I do think Scott Harris is the guy. I am not by any means saying, let's sell Scott Harris down the river by any means shape or form. Am I saying that? But after all the hype, I guess, or kind of excitement that was there, even minimally, going from 2022 to 2023, it just feels like it was kind of a dud. I have a theory, and I'm going to kick it back to you in a second here, Alex. There is one thing that will save this team this offseason, or, this upcoming season, I should say. And I'll get to that in a second, but I guess, Alex, I'll kick it to you again. Like I said, not much of a rant, just kind of an airing of grievances. we didn't do a festivist episode this year, so I had to kind of make up for lost time, I guess. What are you feeling heading into the season? Tiger's moves? Not so many moves. Scott Harris's approach. Where are you at going into the season? Like I text you today, I've set my expectations so low that I think I have no choice but to be pleasantly surprised. But make no mistake about it, as much as I goof around, I joke, I rant, I bet. I think this is going to be an abysmal season for the Tigers. I don't think it's going to be good unless one thing happens. And like I said, I'll get to that in a second. But in the meantime, I'll kick it back to you.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I guess this is as good a time as I need to tell folks. we will be at Comerica Park, for the final game of the regular season, which we can pretty safely call Miguel Cabrera's last regular season home game. As a Tiger, I think my feelings on the season are summed up in that I have to remind myself to add the regular season caveat, as opposed to, just kind of naturally saying his last home game as a Tiger will, be the final game of the season. And, I was telling some other guys about how we've got the tickets and it's going to be a good time, and they say, well, what about the playoffs? And I said, well, honestly, the best worst case scenario is that they are somehow competing for a playoff spot that day, which then means the question facing the Tigers is, how much do you play Miguel Cabrera on that day if they are fighting for a playoff spot? Because obviously you have to play him that day. but if they're competing for a playoff spot, it means Miguel Cabrera is not the main contributor on your roster. which I don't foresee. I still foresee Miguel Cabrera being one of the top contributors on this roster, and that should not be happening at this point in his career.Luke Jaconis: Yeah, I mean, first of all, very excited to go to comerica, in October. give Miguel Cabrera a proper and well deserved sendoff. Make no mistake about it, that will not only be his final regular season game, that will be his final game. This team isn't going to the playoffs. There's a very good chance, as history will repeat itself in the last two seasons, they will be eliminated by the end of the month. There's a good chance they might be eliminated by Easter, which would really be a pretty incredible feat considering I'm pretty sure the season doesn't even start until after Easter. I might be wrong on that, but someone can fact check me later. yeah, it's the same old song and dance that 40 year old Miguel Cabrera, almost 40. Miguel Cabrera, at this point, should not be a main contributor to your lineup. I'm so excited to see Mickey. I'm always excited to see M Mickey. The sentimental part of me is sad that he is going, but knows that it's time, it's time to hang it up. But I want to give him the send off he has rightfully earned over his illustrious career as a future first ballot hall of Famer. Mickey deserves, hopefully, every state, and he goes to a packed house and a standing ovation for, his final game when he's traveling across the country this, next season. I share your thoughts with that as well. I, think there is little chance at all that this team is I like your idea that maybe that final game in October, it's that final game pushed to get in, but I just don't see that happening at all. I think hell is a better chance of freezing over before that happens. the one thing I want to talk about that I kind of alluded to a moment ago was that, the only saving grace for me this season, because I think going into it, the rotation is worse than last year. It's intriguing, but I don't think it's as good as I would feel much more confident of casey Myers and obviously Terric Scuba were in the rotation. That's kind of a given. excited Spencer Turnbull back, but you got to keep in mind he's coming off Tommy John, so you don't really know how that's going to work. We only had Erod for 14 or 15 starts last year. I think this is a year where Matt Manning really puts it together, so that's exciting. Ah, and then Lorenzen and Matthew Boyd, the nicest guy on earth. They're essentially, again, kind of those innings leaders that we were hoping to avoid, but we knew we would have to get them. Just given the pitching injuries going into the season, take the starting pitching and we'll get to the bullpen a little bit later as well. Let's look at the offense because that's obviously and I think everyone's biggest question going. They didn't sign, really a single position player at this point in time heading into the season. I know I made the joke with my name. They really don't have a true starting third baseman going into spring training. There are a lot of question marks with this team, that I think still have not been answered. And obviously we're going to get those answers in spring training. But let's take all those questions. We'll get to all that in a little bit. The one thing, and it's such a cop out to say that can save this team and maybe make this season a pleasant surprise, similarly to 2021 is the bounce back season, because historically, last year, some of these guys on offense were terrible and some of these guys were injured. We didn't have a full season of Austin Meadows. We had a sophomore slump for Akiel BA. Du. Jonathan Scope was absolutely atrocious. Spencer Torkelson, an absolutely atrocious rookie campaign, good on defense. Offense was abysmal. And this is a big if. If all of those guys can even play to half their capacity that we know they're capable of, then maybe this season is somewhat of a pleasant surprise. Again, kind of like the 2021. hopefully Riley Green doesn't progress.Alex Freeman: I'm sorry, regress sake.Luke Jaconis: Not regress.Alex Freeman: That's it.Luke Jaconis: We want one year and that's it. no, hopefully he doesn't regress. Hobby is going to be Hobby at this point. I know he had a pretty good month of September, so it made his overall line look not as bad, but I believe, I'm not mistaken, led all position players last year in errors on defense, not good at all. Javier, not good at all. so we know what he's going to do. Miggy is going to be Miggy. I am excited to see it seems like it's, pointing in all directions that Eric Haas is going to win the starting catching job out of camp. So I am excited to see what Haasi can do because I voted him my Tigers MVP of last year because I thought he was kind, of the most consistent hitter, I guess, for what it's worth, throughout that 2022 season. So the bounce back. Live by it, die by it. If some of these guys bounce back, great, and I think some of them truly will, there's no way Jonathan Scope will be as bad as last year. He physically can't be. If Austin Meadows is healthy, I fully expect him to see him kind of return to the Austin Meadows we thought he was going to be when he came over from that Tampa trade last spring training. So it's just a matter of time, it's a matter of waiting. It is a little bit of patience, which I don't have much of at this point, but, we'll see what happens. If they are similar to last year, god help us all. It's going to be brutal.Alex Freeman: I think that's a really strong, transition there, Luke, into, talking about, the offseason and where this team is right now. I think let's stay in the roster conversation, because, what will mix into that and I guess there's not a big discussion. We're changing the dimensions at Comerica Park. it will be 412 to center, as opposed to 420, which theoretically smoke. It means the offense should be better at home because we're going to play our games, play half our games in a stadium that is no longer as picture friendly. 412 is still a long way. but you can't smoke it's. Still a big.Luke Jaconis: Co host ever.Alex Freeman: so funny. you got to be stuck with the hedges out there, I guess.Luke Jaconis: This is what dreams are made of. And also the lights. We're getting new lights. Honestly, that was the biggest news of this offseason. They're moving in the fences slightly and they're changing the lights. That's when you know your team is just in an utter state of disrepair. When those are the big things that people are excited egg on our face.Alex Freeman: When they win 105 games because of these changes.Luke Jaconis: Yeah, the best thing about, the moving in the fences was, I think, when they announced it on Instagram, mickey commented. He said, now I want to play more years. some other things before we kind of look at the roster. this was announced, I think, last week or the week before. We've got some changes in the booth. Bye bye, Jack Morris. Hello, Craig Monroe, and also welcome Cameron Maven and Todd Jones to the fold.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I'm excited about having CMO in the booth on a regular basis. was always excited when he was agreed, in the booth. especially the times that he sits in. I think everybody knows that he's great at it. I also loved him when he was on the radio broadcast. yeah, just excited for more simo.Luke Jaconis: I know people like dog on Matt Shepherd. We've always kind of stuck up for Chef a little bit. I think he's kind of also look at what he's had to commentate on these last number of seasons. But also, I think Jack Morris didn't give him much to work with. Kirk Gibson is always kind of in and out of there on a limited basis. So if they could establish a good relationship between Freckman Rowe and Matt Shepard, I am okay with that. I think that could be really fun. Cameron Maven, coming in is kind of cool. Todd Jones, I like that they're bringing in the more former Tigers, and it's kind of crazy to say, but Tigers players of our era, so I know Cameron Maven had a couple of different stints with the Tigers. Todd Jones, obviously was big in the six run, but, it's cool. It's kind of cool. And also, it makes me feel hate to say it a little old being like, I remember watching that guy play. Now he's talking about the good old days and, my mind how time flies so, yeah, I'm great and sing jack Morris. Lee, take care of Jack.Alex Freeman: I could care less yeah, I hit the road Jack don't you come back no more, no more, no.Luke Jaconis: More, no more, no more love it. this is what I have for the roster. I just took a couple of quick notes here.Alex Freeman: Is it just of a dumpster fire?Luke Jaconis: ah, I'm not too good with the words, but I'm trying my best here. yeah, it's pretty great. okay, so kind of just projections, I think, where we're heading into the season. So starting catcher, I think, out of camp, we're looking at Eric Hoss, starting first baseman. Out of camp, spencer Torkelson, second baseman. Jonathan Scope, shortstop. Javier Baez, third baseman. I put who the hell knows? I mean, according to my name on Zoom, I am the Tigers third baseman, but that's how that is.Luke Jaconis: Riley Green is our starting center fielder. Akilba Dewan. Left, Austin Meadows and right DH is Miguel Cabrera. So that's where we're at with that. Any objections? Anything you think? What are your thoughts?Alex Freeman: I'm, just throwing in that the official depth chart on MLB.com shows Ryan Kriler as the I saw that the.Luke Jaconis: People, I guess, we're assuming are going for that are, Ryan Creedler, and then Nick Mayton. So he came over in the, Phillies trade. So there's that. Also, real quick, I guess we kind of talked to me. I don't know if we talked about this last time. It's been an episode, but a lot of guys gone from this team that have been kind of mainstays on the roster for these last four or five years. Victor Reyes, gone. Willie Castro, gone. Harold castro gone. And, then obviously, I think the big one who I think was on the bubble the most, jamer candelario gone and now is a Washington National. So just kind of throwing that out there, saying goodbye to those guys. They've been around a while. Das. Cameron derek Hill was gone last season. So a lot of these guys that were kind of that all of you, like, are they going to be mainstays? They're all gone. So Willy's with the Twins, I think carol Castro's with the Rockies, victor Reyes when it stays with the White Sox. the boys have flown the coop, so to speak. Or actually they didn't fly away, they were told to leave.Alex Freeman: Yeah, no, I mean, I think that, those changes are interesting because when they happened, it was like, okay, this is maybe the start of some clearing house. We're going to go make some moves in this offseason. We're going to go reassemble a roster. We're going to mix it with some of the kind of up and coming guys that we are sort of excited about as we go through that. all of those things. And yet that didn't really happen in the off season. Ah, I would say as of yet, but pitchers and catchers are reporting in, what, like two weeks?Luke Jaconis: less than that at this point. next week, I'm pretty sure.Alex Freeman: Obviously, those moves aren't going to happen. I don't know what that means.Luke Jaconis: For well, there's just so many moves that felt like it could have been made, even filler bubble moves. But I guess you have to think Scott Harris is taking the approach of let's see what we've got, rather than bring in someone we don't really anticipate being around for the long haul. So that's probably there looking at the bench. Jake Rogers?Alex Freeman: Matt.Luke Jaconis: Vierling. Carrie Carpenter? Tyler Nevin. And then I also put, Ryan Fryler down there as well. two guys to keep an eye on for this upcoming season. offensively, I don't think they're going to make the teams out of camp. I could be wrong. One is Justin Henry, Malloy, we got him from the tray with Jo Jimenez of the Braves. And then the other is Donny Sands, Donnie Sands, and he was a catcher that came, in the Phillies trade as well. so I thought I saw some rumors. Maybe Donnie Sands wins the backup job because Jake Rogers might need some real game time coming off missing all of last year. But only time will tell at that. And from what I can tell, Justin Harry Milloy, pretty good eye batting eye from the basic research, which I've done, and pretty quick, from my understanding, he's a third base left fielder. So, it could be interesting because one, the Tiger is third baseman, obviously, that jobs up for grabs. And two, the assumed starting left fielder heading into opening day is a Kilba Du, and if he continues to struggle like he did last year, maybe Malloy comes in and takes his spot probably sometime a few months into the season, if it were to happen.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I agree completely. let's kind of talk about the outfield there because obviously Eric Haas factors into that calculation as well. has played some left field. I think when his BAT's been working, he's been a fine outfielder and, a solid bat to have in the lineup, which then obviously layers into the catching equation of what you do at the catching position, which I do think it is. I think it'll be Jake Rogers coming out of camp.Luke Jaconis: Yeah. You think Jake Rogers is going to win the starting job out of camp?Alex Freeman: I do. I think so. I feel that's cool, excited about that.Luke Jaconis: do you feel God on this chilies tonight as well?Alex Freeman: I do. And, very shortly, I will no longer be allowed to eat at a chili's. my worst nightmare, I have been stealing drinks from other people.Luke Jaconis: That is a thought that keeps me up at night and I wake up in a cold sweat. I respectfully disagree. I don't think Jake is going to win the starting job out of camp. I do think if Eric HOS, struggles and if Jake Rogers I think Jake Rogers is fighting to get a spot out of camp, obviously. I think just based off his history coming off the injury, I think he has a lot to prove going into this camp that he is still he's really kind of like the only one of the last few guys that I can think of on top of my head that's kind of around from those of era trades. Like, this guy might be something, but that I can think of that's kind of a main name floating around this team. so that's interesting. I, think Haas is going to win it out of camp. I think his days in left field are pretty numbered at this point. I, think they'll definitely roll with either a Kilba Du, Matt Veerling. they'll probably also want to start getting other guys out there from the miners that we haven't seen yet. Carpenter might play out there. that'll be kind of fascinating to track. The Tigers really haven't had that solid starting to catch. Like, this is our guy since probably, what, James McCann, Alexa Villa, something along those lines. So Pop Haas takes the ball and runs with it. I think he had a pretty solid little season last year, especially considering he got off to such a brutal start in the beginning of the year. he kind of really came into the last half, of the season, which was really good for him. So, pork at first base, I think that's a given. We're all waiting for the bounce back for torquelson. So. Same thing there. Same thing can be said for Jonathan Scope at second base.Alex Freeman: Maybe.Luke Jaconis: there's rumors they put Scope at third base and they did just recently sign, was it, Caesar Hernandez wasn't, at Baltimore played recently, if you're mistaken. signed him to, ah, a minor league deal invite spring training. I'm pretty sure something along those lines. so maybe he goes to second. that would be interesting. But that's an option too, I've heard. Maybe putting scoping at third. Hobby is the guy short. this could be potentially Hobby's last year because he could opt out after the season. I'm not mistaken.Alex Freeman: Yeah, that's true. It'll be interesting to see. you talk about bounce back seasons, right? like surely Javi can't be as bad this year as he was last year. Surely that can't be the case.Luke Jaconis: Defensively is what I want to make that more pointed towards. Because offensively, you look at his final numbers on the year they were whatever. it's the same thing I said last year that I'm saying this year. He is a piece of the puzzle. He is not the entire puzzle.Alex Freeman: Right.Luke Jaconis: He is a puzzle piece, but he is not the entire puzzle. So we're in the same boat as we are as last year. I hope to God. How can he be as bad last year defensively as he was this year as it was last year?Alex Freeman: How many pieces of the puzzle do they have though?Luke Jaconis: I don't even know if they have the top of the box for the puzzle that you can set it up on your table to look at to make sure you're doing it right. I don't even think they have that right now. They don't have a plan. There's no plan. It feels like at the moment, I'm not trying to knock Scott Harris. I know he's the new guy, we have to give him some leeway. But I don't even think we got the damn box to look at the puzzle to try to even assemble it.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I think that you look at a team that has as many needs as the Detroit Tigers had, and especially after you clean house and right. And again, rightfully so. I think it was the right move to let those guys go. but to get to move on from Jamer Candelario and not bring in an upgrade at third base when you don't have to go far to have an upgrade to inconsistent Jamer Candelario, you just need a guy that you're like, okay, yeah. Over the past four seasons he's been consistent. This is what we get from him. that's an upgrade to Jamer Candelario and I don't think we even have that.Luke Jaconis: Well, I think also too, if Scott is obviously trying to assess talent, and who knows, it could have been a financial thing. I thought I read something like the Tigers wanted to bring Jamar in for four and he signed with six or something. I could be wrong on that, but I thought there were some rumblings of that, so maybe that's a factor. but if Scott is assessing talent, like, we can only assume that he is. It is maybe a little bit fascinating now that we're removed from the situation and Jamer is gone and we are where we are with the third base, dilemma. That interesting. Did he not want to give Jamer one more year just to see or maybe he's seen enough at this point? Or maybe it was a financial thing. Or maybe he just knows, like, this guy is not our guy. Or maybe he sees something down the road with a crider or a Nick Mayton or moving scope to third and giving someone a shot at second. There's probably something we're not seeing. But, from the outsider and the fan perspective, it is a bit of a head scratch. Like, the fact that we are days away from pitchers and catchers reporting and we don't have a third basement. I mean, it's not a good look. You look at what the Astros are doing right now, locking up so many of their core guys, we're just, like, being like, can the guy who waters the infield in between innings, can he throw on a glove and maybe take some reps a third? Because that's where we're at right now.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I think that, if you showed up at spring training with a myth, you might have a chance, you got a shot. You're probably going to get some playing time that day, at least. So I guess fans get down to, ah, Joker, Martin and, get stretched out because you're in it's about a.Luke Jaconis: Three hour drive for me. Just got to go a little bit north. Three, three and a half hours. I might do that. Put on the cleats and see if I can hang with them.Alex Freeman: No, Luke, I mentioned that, when we were talking before the episode that I have sort of left Twitter, as a user, you're on there a little bit more. You've always kind of been more active with the show's Twitter account. my sense and this could just be like my own feelings, because I'm not I have not been as engaged with the Tigers fan base during this offseason. my sense is that it's a continuation of kind of where the base felt at the end of last season, which is, like, almost who cares?Luke Jaconis: It's a who cares? And it's a what's going on? Mentality. From what I can gauge. There are people, there's a lot of people, which I've been pleasantly surprised, who have gone the who cares route, because I think they're just fed up and done, to a certain extent, which I'm okay with that. I don't begrudge those people for thinking that you can't consistently, year after year, put s**t out onto the field and just m expect your fans to be like mindless sheep. And it's like, I'm excited for this. This is great. We're not dummies. We know what's going on here. We know what the situation is. Then you have another camp of fans like, well, you got to give Scott Harris's due. He's not Ala Villa. You can't blame him for Avila's mistakes. And then you've got a camp of people who are kind of thinking, it's not going to be as bad as we're all making it out to be. I ran a poll on Twitter, on our Twitter the other day, and I'm trying to think of how many, I just said, where are we at heading into spring training wins wise? What do you think is the projection? Let me see what the numbers were here. Okay, so, I said, how many games will the Tigers win in 2023? 39 votes. People that voted on this, first place, a 49% vote is 70 to 80. And from what I can tell, I'll just kind of jump the shark here for a second. I did look at some projections heading into the season. The one I could find that I felt trusted and just kind of I liked their stuff, that they put out fan graphs as the Tigers finishing in fourth place with a record of 71 and 91. So a little bit worse than the 2021 season. A little bit better than last year. And honestly, I think that's fair. That seems right. Of course, I hope they catch lightning in a bottle and they win some of those close games early on in the year, and maybe that pushes them closer to that 500 mark. I mean, it's just so pathetic that here we are, so many years into this stupid ass rebuild. Not a rebuild, rebuilding the rebuild. Covering up Alavilla's mistakes, going into the Scott Harris era, whatever you want to call it. Eight years in. We're just hoping it's an atrocious mindset to have that. Finishing 500 feels like we're going to throw a parade sometime in October, because that's honestly what it feels like to be a Tigers fan. And that's the truth. That's where we're at right now. Forget winning the division. Forget competing for a wild card. If we could win 81 baseball games, I am convinced that they may make it a national holiday in the city of Detroit.Alex Freeman: If we could be 500 in April, I think I'm ready to throw a throw parade.Luke Jaconis: This is going to be it's gonna be a it's going to be a tough April. Unless unless they are hot out of the gate. And I'm not just saying that to be the, you know, pessimistic here, but you look at the schedule. It is a tough April. And you look at their last two Aprils and how poorly they've gone. Good luck. Good luck.Alex Freeman: What do we do, if April and May look like April and May have looked the last seven years?Luke Jaconis: I don't know.Alex Freeman: How do we keep watching baseball in June if that's the case? Because this roster is not like if April and May are terrible like they have been, they're done. And what then does Scott Harris do? Because there's not pieces to get rid of. There's not moves to be made at the trade deadline. There's just we're awful for another four months.Luke Jaconis: I guess, the question is, like, who would the Tigers then target the trade? Do you trade someone like Javi Bayes? Do you trade someone like Eduardo Rodriguez? There's been rumors that Erod may get traded before opening day even. So, who knows? Who knows? But those are probably the kind of, I mean, Mickey's off the books after this season. maybe a guy like a Matt Manning. You do some package. Who knows? I think the only guy that I really feel is Untouchable right now is Riley Green. and rightfully, I can't believe him m saying Spencer TorqueL. Does he get moved if he gets really hot out the gate? I think Torque is also pretty high up there, for the record, on that Untouchable list as well.Alex Freeman: I think if he's doing well enough to be potentially traded, I think that has put him into the Untouchable category.Luke Jaconis: I agree. Why would you trade a guy that if he's beating up and everything, could be a huge benefit down the road? So?Alex Freeman: Yeah.Luke Jaconis: I don't know. I mean, I'm not trying to be negative, but I think there's a very good chance that by the end of April, this team is already a good ten to twelve games under 500. You look at that month of April schedule, and I know we're not going to do a schedule breakdown today on this episode, but it's brutal. Just I'm going to throw you some teams real quick that they will be playing, if my app would ever load. Come on, MLB. This is brutal. Anyways, there's a lot of good teams at the price analysis. Okay, here we go. Boston. Toronto. I mean San Francisco. Cleveland. Baltimore. Milwaukee. Baltimore. These are all teams, if I'm not mistaken, that last year finished 500 or close within a couple of games. There's no Royals on this list. There's no Pittsburgh Pirates on this list. These are all teams that are good. God, you're playing three teams from the Al lease. And that division is going to be again route, actually four teams tampa, Houston, Boston, Toronto, and Baltimore and then Cleveland. It's going to be tough. It is April and then, oh, by the way, it doesn't get any easier. in May, the Mets, the Cardinals, Cleveland, Seattle. And then for two games, they get the Pittsburgh Pirates. So AJ. Hinch better have miracle speech.Alex Freeman: Got two wins locked in, in April and May. Look at the world neither of them will be against the Pirates. That's the thing that's going to be the most frustrating yeah. Not to continue kicking this roster, but as I look at it, I'm excited about two guys. Maybe like, I'm excited about Riley Green, but I'm excited in the way that Detroit fans have been excited about guys for their whole lives. I'm excited about what Riley Green can do this season. there's still not a team around him that they can actually do anything with.Luke Jaconis: That right. And you have to imagine, too, that Ericos is by no means the concrete catcher for years to come. He's definitely kind of just being given an opportunity. Scope, this is his final year. So, honestly, if Scope gets off to a hot start, which historically does not, he could get traded at the deadline if his team is a dumpster fire. so, yeah, again, a lot, it's going to rely on the bounce back. And it's hard for us right now to think positively because one, look at the roster, how can you blame us? Two, they made no moves this offseason. And three, ah, going off 2022 numbers and statistics, it was absolutely trash. So it's hard to get real jazz right now for Tigers baseball. but one other thing I want to point out too, real quick. I'm not saying that this is a huge thing because the shift going away and things and, going like that. But looking at the roster right now, there are no switch hitters on this team.Alex Freeman: No, it's also like it's also very righty. Righty. Heavy.Luke Jaconis: Yeah. It's I mean, just looking at the projected lineup and let's assume Kreidler wins the starting job out of Camp asses are righty. Pork scope. Abby fridler miggy. I mean, that leaves you, Riley Green, Badu and Meadows all bat and lefty. And then coming off the bench, Verling's, Arighty, Rogers are writing. Tyler Nevin, Donny Sands, justin harry Milloy. If they ever get called up. Both righties. I'm sure we're going to see some other guys throughout the season who kind of may, change that. But for what it's worth, victor Reyes, WILLOUGHLY Castro, Jamer candelario even captain Celery himself, tucker Barnhart could at least give you some different lineups that you could put into play being that they were switch hitters. is what it is. Did you see speaking of Captain Celery, he signed with the Cubs this offseason and recently, our guy, Michael Fulmer just signed with the Cubs, too. So congrats to him. Going to be pitching on the North Side this year. So best of luck, Mike.Alex Freeman: Yeah. I hope it's a good year for him. I like him. Yeah. M. I think that's my whole issue with this roster. I like all these guys.Luke Jaconis: huh.Alex Freeman: I don't really love it. Love any of them.Luke Jaconis: on my s**t list from last.Alex Freeman: Year, except for maybe Riley Grace, obviously. I'll put the caveat in here so that people don't yell at us in the comments. Miguel Cabrera is exempt from all of these conversations, because we love Miguel Cabrera and it is his final year, no questions asked. I want to see Miguel Cabrera in the lineup regularly. do I think that is the best thing for this team? No, I would love it to be, I would love the team to be in a situation where we're giving Miguel Cabrera at bats out of respect for his long career. Not that we need his bat in the lineup, but, I think we need his bat in the.Luke Jaconis: Lineup. One thing I would love to see for Miguel return this year, if kind of like how it happened with Albert Pooholz last year. I would love to see a power surge return for Miguel Cabrera. And I'm not saying because I think how many home runs did Albert end up hitting last year? Is anyone from, like, 18 to 20 ish in that ballpark? I don't think Miggy is there, but if Miggy could give us, like, a good ten to 13 home runs, like, just something like he had, like, four last year, the power I mean, all he did last year was hit singles, pretty much. So, I mean, I'm not even talking long ball, just, like, you know, maybe some more doubles, you know, hey, I would love to see Miguel Cabrera maybe hit one more triple. I don't know how many career triples he has, but I would love to I sure that would sure make me laugh, watching him run, going for a triple. And I feel at some point at time m yeah, miguel Cabrera, at one point in time, was going to go for a triple in his last year. And I think this also might be the first year we see Miguel Cabrera try to bump for a hit. Why not? What does he have to lose?Alex Freeman: Honestly, he's the fastest man in baseball. Luke.Luke Jaconis: It's true.Alex Freeman: And it's true. this is our moment for our annual miguel Cabrera is in the best shape of his life coming into camp. I can't wait.Luke Jaconis: soon we'll hear that. Soon we will hear that. one thing I wanted to talk about too, real quick, the one move we already kind of talked a little bit lineup wise. and the one move this offset I think that was the most intriguing giving Scott Harris credit was the trade, sending Gregory Soto and Cody Clemens to Philadelphia in returns, getting back Nick Mayton, Matt Veerling and Donny Sands. let's start with losing Gregory Soto. I'm okay with it. when Gregory Soto was on, he was on. Gregory Soto is just far too inconsistent that I'm comfortable with. Cody Clemens, for me, was kind of one of those Aloevila Prospect guys. I was like, it's Cody Clemens. I don't know where ever going to see him really do much. so I'm okay with that. And getting back three young, kind of versatile position players. I like that. And good speed. you have a potential catching process with Donny Sand. So that was the one moved this off season. I was like, okay, Scott Harris, I'm cool with this. I just wish he would have maybe made like two or three more moves, kind of, of that caliber, something along those lines. So I, guess he kind of did it with the Joe Jimenez trade as well, bringing in, Justin Henry Malloy. But it is what it is there. let's talk about rotation here for a little bit.Alex Freeman: If you're cool with it.Luke Jaconis: Let's get into the pitching side of things and that will transition us into bullpen. so I guess right now, starting pitcher opening day, unless things change at Juarez Rodriguez, I guess that's what we're thinking.Alex Freeman: yeah, that's what I would do.Luke Jaconis: From the projected rotations that I've been seeing just kind of posted throughout the internet, you, got, Erod, Matthew Boyd, Matt Manning, Michael Lorenz and Spencer Turnbull kind of R five heading into the season. Obviously things could change. Guys win jobs out of camp maybe. So that kind of puts like, what do you do with Bo Briskey? Joey wentz. Alex fayetto. I think you're definitely going to see whence in Fayetto, maybe even Brisket go to the bullpen. I, really would love to see Bo Briskey, get a shot at the starting rotation. I don't really know where he fits whose place he takes really, at this point, because all the five guys named at the top, those seem kind of like locks. I mean, obviously Boyd and Lorenz and they just signed those guys. Erod, definitely has, some money to make and he went through some personal issues last year, but really didn't get much of a Water Rodriguez last year. And Matt Manning is really one of the big three who's healthy right now. So with Scuba and Miso, I don't know where a guy like Briskey would fit in rotation wise. But there's a good chance you could see probably Brisky once in Fiato in the bullpen this year, especially because we've lost some arms, this offseason.Alex Freeman: Yeah, I don't disagree with anything that you just said there. I would be more excited about that rotation if I didn't have, the history with so many of these guys that we have, like, if they were fresh to the Tigers. Matt Boyd, erod Matt Manning. Obviously lots of life left in Matt Manning's career. Spencer Turnbull. I think my issue is that I look at it and I go, oh, we're going to really lean on Matt Manning, more than I want us to be leaning on him at this point in his career. Similarly, like if Borisky wins a spot in the rotation. we need Borisky to be truly worthy of that spot, more so than maybe he is at in career development.Luke Jaconis: Right. Well, also and this kind of is a given, but I would feel a lot better with this rotation if Terrick Scuba was at it. I'd feel a hell of a lot better. I'd be like, all right, if you take out Lorenz and you've got Scuba, or if you take out Boyd and you put in schools, like, all right, I'm kind of work with this, and we're going to get Scuba back sometime this season. So that is encouraging. MYS is probably done for the whole year, but they're saying, I think June for Scuba. If I were a betting man, I'd say we don't see Terror Scuba pitch until after the All Star break. I would agree with that. And at that point, depending where this team is in terms of contention, that also could be a factor as well. But, yeah, so I would feel a hell of better if Terry Scuba was in the starting rotation. That's kind of the understatement of the year. So let's transition to bullpen. So you lose last season. Michael Fulmer, you trade away this year. Joe Jimenez and Gregory Soto. Andrew, Chaffin declined his option, so he's currently a free agent. Maybe he comes back, maybe he doesn't. Maybe we get another bullpen edition sometime, between now and opening day. Here's where the bullpen currently stands, kind of from my perspective. So those three guys I just mentioned, Borisky, Joey once, Alex Fiato, you have to imagine they'll be incorporated in some capacity. Tyler Alexander and Ronnie Garcia both continue to just somehow, they always wind up back in the bullpen.Alex Freeman: Somehow.Luke Jaconis: Those guys, they're kind of like you said in the beginning of the show, it's like a dirty penny. Is that what you called me?Alex Freeman: It's a bad penny? It's a bad penny.Luke Jaconis: A bad penny.Alex Freeman: Sorry.Luke Jaconis: A dirty penny. A dirty penny. It's a dirty, gross, stinky penny that's been caught in couch cushions for many years. And then you're kind of going to look at more of the core, I think, of this bullpen, which is going to be Will Vest, Jason Foley, Jose Cisnero, and the guy who I think is going to be the closer come opening day, alex Lang, which I'm excited for that for. I think Alex Lang has some really nasty stuff, and I think he's earned, depending on how his camp goes this year. I would be more than happy to give him the reins as the closer.Alex Freeman: Yeah. I would also like to see AJ. Has sort of gone away from that traditional closer mentality, and just thinking about high leverage spots. not that loving a closer is necessarily a traditionalist standpoint, but I do think that there is something to be said of, like, this guy's got the 9th, and being able to mentally prepare for that as the guy. I would like to see that a little bit more consistently and, kind of build somebody into that spot, because we've watched our bullpen blow enough leads, throughout our life that it'd be nice to well, it was funny.Luke Jaconis: We actually, for a year and a half or two years there, actually had a pretty decent little bullpen. And now it's like, oh, boy, are we going back to are we going back to that 2018, 2019 years prior Tigers bullpen? I guess time will tell. I mean, look, if Lange pitches like Lang has these last few seasons and Cisnero does as well, we'll vest fully. You incorporate some of these young arms, brisky, Fiato, wentz, et cetera, at Garrett Hill, obviously under the tutelage of Chris Federer, who we think is a godsend, for the Detroit Tigers. I'm still pretty confident with the Tigers both. And if you said the three things right now, from lineup, starting rotation and Bulkin that I'm most confident in, I'm still going to say it's the Bolton at this point, which I can't believe I'm saying that heading into, ah, another Tiger season. But here we are.Alex Freeman: Yeah, it's interesting as we continue to have this conversation about the overall roster. Right. I'm still not excited about any single portion of this roster, but I'm not uncomfortable with the bullpen. I'm not uncomfortable with the starting rotation. I wish it were better. I wish there was obviously not Shirzer specifically, but a guy like Scherzer that I was like, let's go. I am not missing a single start that this guy pitches. to talk about the lineup, we also have to remember and keep in mind as we go into this season, we have a whole new hitting staff, that we know that's been probably the central problem of the last two seasons is that this team has not been able to hit. That is maybe the biggest question mark of my excitement, I guess, is that, okay, what are we going to start to see in spring training that tells us that, okay, yeah, it was the hitting staff more than it was the guys in the roster. And I think we got a glimpse of that a little bit with Robbie Grossman when he went to the Braves. of like, oh, yeah, here's a minor adjustment to make. And now you're the Robbie Grossman that the Tigers wanted when we signed you.Luke Jaconis: Yeah, I think that's valid. See what this new hitting staff does bring to the table. I can't stop thinking about that April schedule for every second I kind of get. All right, well, maybe this kind of piece is intriguing. This is intriguing. This guy's young. Let's see if this guy has a bounce back. I just think, like, how is this team that doesn't even have a legit third base right now supposed to compete with tampa and Houston. And I can't believe I'm m saying this, but Baltimore, the Mets in May, those teams I just mentioned, Toronto, I'll throw them in there as well. Those are juggernaut teams. Well, maybe Baltimore is maybe not a juggernaut team, but they were definitely a fun team to watch last year. I think they're going to be good this year. But like, the Toronto's, the Houston, the Tampas, the Mets, the Cargoes, those are juggernaut teams. And it's like mind boggling that we're going to have to compete against them. It's like, oh, s**t, we don't even have a third.Alex Freeman: Baseman.Luke Jaconis: We don't know what's going on. One of our best players is a 40 year old who really only hit singles at this point in his career. When I think of stuff like that, I'm like, oh yeah, this is the team that's going to barely win 50 games this year. and then I think even getting to a, record like Fang Grass had a 71 and 91, that feels like, impossible. But stranger things have happened. And like I said, at the very top of the show, not to be Captain Cliche, but if some guys have some bounce backs, and if some guys play like we think they're capable of, and if Hobby Bias is in a complete liability, it's shortstop defensively. And if the Angels win the pennant and Joseph Gordon Levitt's dad comes back, you just never know what could happen, I guess. But I'm not holding my breath on that team.Alex Freeman: We're so beaten down as fans that we're like 70. one and 91. That's a bit of a stretch. Could it happen? though, but if some things bounce the right way, it could be 20 games under 500.Luke Jaconis: Yeah. Right now, I'm not doing an official projection yet, but my number right now is like, the Tigers win like six games in the month of.Alex Freeman: April. All right, this is going to bring us to, not a new segment of the show, but another one of our new standardized segments where, I'm going to talk about some stats and or trivia as we go into this. And I'm going to quiz Luke. But, first a little music drop.Luke Jaconis: I like your theme music, too.Alex Freeman: Isn't that nice?Luke Jaconis: Yeah, good stuff. I would have preferred it was a little bit more like the first season of Boy Meets World. The, intro.Alex Freeman: Music. Look, if you if you got any further, we would have owed Disney $4,000. So I'm glad you said I know.Luke Jaconis: Go ahead, Mr. Feeney.Alex Freeman: Okay. Luke, Google is trying.Luke Jaconis: To google wants to get in on the action.Alex Freeman: Google wants in, the, 122 year history of the Detroit Tigers. How many times have they made the playoffs? Oh.Luke Jaconis: God. I'll just try to do the years. I know they made the playoffs. All right, so 611, 12, 13, 14. That's five. The roar of 84.Alex Freeman: That's. At least six.Luke Jaconis: I think they won in the 60s. They won four World Series. Not mistaken.Alex Freeman: That is correct.Luke Jaconis: That puts us at least all right, I'm going to say 122 years.Alex Freeman: You said. Yes.Luke Jaconis: All right, give me a little no. I'm going to throw out a number, then I'll ask for a hand. I'm going to say they've made the playoffs. Let's see here. 23 times.Alex Freeman: That is too high.Luke Jaconis: Okay. I'm trying to think, like, the early 19 hundreds, maybe. So are we in the teens?Alex Freeman: I'm guessing we are in the teens. Okay.Luke Jaconis: I'm, going to say 14.Alex Freeman: Very close. It is 16 times the Detroit Tigers have made the playoffs. How many times have they then made it to the World Series? Oh, God. Now, in some of these scenarios, right. in the early years of Major League Baseball that was making the playoffs. Yeah, we went to the World Series.Luke Jaconis: Well, they got four World Series, and they lost twice in six and twelve. So that at least puts it six right there. And I'll tack on a couple more in the early days. So let's say out of the 16 times they made the playoffs, I'm going to say they've gone into World Series nine times.Alex Freeman: Very close again. Eleven times.Luke Jaconis: Oh, that's my number.Alex Freeman: Eleven. Damn it. Which, I mean, not a bad play off record. if you've made it 16 times, you go to the World Series eleven times, but like them to perform better in the World Series and have more than four. Yeah.Luke Jaconis: So because that means four for yeah. Four for eleven in the World Series. That's not great.Alex Freeman: when was the last time the Detroit Tigers won a playoff series?Luke Jaconis: Won a playoff series? Yeah. 2013.Alex Freeman: That is correct. Against who?Luke Jaconis: was that against the Oakland Athletics?Alex Freeman: It was tom, please stop yelling at your radio.Luke Jaconis: Suck at souls.Alex Freeman: And then, obviously, they made the playoffs in 2014, but lost to the Baltimore Orioles in the divisional series. those are my numbers for today. Just to kind of like I like them. Yeah. I mean, less than 10% of the time, the Detroit Tigers have made the playoffs. Would love to see that ah. Be different.Luke Jaconis: I have a quick one for you. I'm going to throw a quiz right back to you.Alex Freeman: I love it.Luke Jaconis: Mr. Phoenix. Every week, every episode, I'm going to give you an obscure Tigers player question and see if you can get it. Who was the Tigers starting catcher going into the 2009 season? 2009. I could totally be wrong on this, but I remember I'm pretty sure he was the.Alex Freeman: Guy. I have three different guys in my head, but I think I'm dancing around and I actually don't think it's any.Luke Jaconis: Single one of them.Alex Freeman: Okay. it's too early for.Luke Jaconis: Avila. I think that was his debut year, for what it's worth, if I'm not mistaken, the nine or ten he debuted, actually. No, it was 2009. That was his debut.Alex Freeman: I remember it's not McCann, I'm not mistaken. Yeah.Luke Jaconis: Not McCam.Alex Freeman: Pudge was gone by then, but yeah, Pudge was gone. Who was it?Luke Jaconis: The answer we're looking for number eight, gerald Laird.Alex Freeman: Gerald Laird or Jerry Laird?Luke Jaconis: All right, we'll try again next week with you. But Gerald Laird. Yeah, the more, you.Alex Freeman: Know, shout.Luke Jaconis: Out to Gerald Laird, man.Alex Freeman: Shout out to Gerald Laird.Luke Jaconis: Also forgotten.Alex Freeman: Yeah, because obviously then we had Avila and so why would we need Laird.Luke Jaconis: When you have layered came back off. He backed up one season. I want to say maybe it was in 2012 he backed up or 2011, one of the two. I don't remember. But he came back as a backup one year as well.Alex Freeman: Well, Luke, I think that's going to be back, baby. This episode. We are back. any closing thoughts before we depart?Luke Jaconis: No, I'm really excited, to get to do another season with you. I feel like towards the end of last season, and I don't know if you've ever said this, we both were kind of like the rain, just talking about the team. I think that also kind of shows with our lack of recordings we did in the offseason, but also, like, really.Alex Freeman: Took an off season.Luke Jaconis: We did one episode in the off season. We really needed to take a break, at least I know I did, from Tigers baseball and just other things were going on in life and we had other things we were doing. But, yeah, as we do this, it gets me excited and I know I'm going to be burnt again, I'm going to be let down again. That's kind of how it is to be a Tigers fan. But at least I have you here to join me in the misery every couple of weeks. So I look forward to that. And thank you to all of our, listeners and our watchers and people get to interact with us on Twitter. you know, they're always a lot of fun. So it's exciting. And here we are, season four as they sit on that episode of Hot, ones with Paul Rudd. Look at us. Who would have thought it?Alex Freeman: Not me. Not me. All right, Luke, we'll talk soon. Have a good one. See. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit michiganandtrumbull.substack.com

Is Tim Anderson just as frustrated as the fans are with the Chicago White Sox organization? Some buzz was created last week when a Tweet about Anderson wearing something other than a White Sox jersey eventually received a 'like' by Tim Anderson, or someone controlling his account. It could be just pointless drama but maybe Anderson wants to chance a championship and does not see it happening on the South Side. Plus, with what shortstops are making in free agency, maybe the Sox simply can't afford the supposed face of the franchise. Also, what is the real motivation for Jerry Reinsdorf to spend like other owners throughout baseball and build a winning team? If the Sox are profitable right now... why do anything different? The White Sox added outfield depth in Victor Reyes and selected relief pitcher Nick Avila in last week's Rule 5 draft.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

NFL – National Football League – Week 4 Yesterday Seattle Seahawks 48, Detroit Lions 45 New York Giants 20, Chicago Bears 12 Tennessee Titans 24, Indianapolis Colts 17 Seahawks 48, Lions 45 – Smith, Penny star as Seahawks beat Lions 48-45 Geno Smith threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score in the first half, and the Seattle Seahawks held off the Detroit Lions for a 48-45 win. The Seahawks were stopped on a third down late in the third quarter, but the Ford Field play clock wasn’t set properly. Seattle took advantage of the second chance and Detroit’s unorganized defense on Rashaad Penny’s 36-yard touchdown run that converted a third-and-16 and made it 38-23. Detroit’s T.J. Hockenson had eight receptions and set career highs with 179 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Giants 20, Bears 12 – Jones injures ankle in Giants’ 20-12 victory over Bears Daniel Jones ran for two touchdowns before injuring an ankle, Saquon Barkley had 146 yards and ran the wildcat offense at times after both New York quarterbacks were hurt in leading the Giants to a 20-12 victory over the Chicago Bears. Jones scored on runs of 21 and 8 yards, New York rushed for 262 yards and Graham Gano kicked field goals of 44 and 43 yards as the Giants improved to 3-1 under rookie coach Brian Daboll. It’s their best start since 2011 when they won the Super Bowl. Michael Badgley kicked four goals for the Bears filling in for Cairo Santos. Titans 24, Colts 17 – Henry reigns as Titans hold off Colts for 24-17 victory Derrick Henry rushed for a season-high 114 yards and one touchdown and Tennessee’s defense held up late to preserve the Titans’ 24-17 victory at Indianapolis. The Titans have won a franchise-record four straight in the series and improved to 11-2 against AFC South opponents since 2020. Indy has one win in its past six games and blew late three scoring chances. Tennessee leaned heavily on Henry early, but was shut out in the second half for the second straight week.

Smith accounted for 369 yards and three touchdowns, and Rashaad Penny rushed for 151 yards and two TDs. Seattle never used its punter. The Seahawks scored on seven drives, missed a field goal on the eighth and took a knee to end the game on the ninth. They also scored on Tariq Woolen’s 40-yard interception return in the second half. Lions coach Dan Campbell says the team is going to take a comprehensive look at what it is doing defensively. NFL – Terry Bradshaw says he’s been treated for 2 kinds of cancer Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw says he has been treated for two forms of cancer in the past year. Bradshaw said on “Fox NFL Sunday” that he was diagnosed with bladder cancer late last year and was treated at Yale University Medical Center, including surgery. The 74-year-old then said he found a tumor in his neck earlier this year and it turned out to be a Merkel cell tumor, a rare form of malignant skin cancer. He was treated at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Bradshaw says he is “cancer free and feeling great.” NFL – Spectator at Steelers game dies after fall from escalator A spectator at Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets has died following a fall at Acrisure Stadium. The Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety say police and emergency service personnel were alerted after an unidentified male fell around 4:45 p.m., shortly after the end of New York’s 24-20 victory over the Steelers. Paramedics administered care on site to the victim before he was transported to the hospital in critical condition. He died shortly thereafter. The Steelers said in a statement that the organization is working with local authorities during the investigation. MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 5, Minnesota Twins 2 Chicago White Sox 2, San Diego Padres 1 Chicago Cubs 8, Cincinnati Reds 1 Tigers 5, Twins 2 – Tigers beat young Woods Richardson, sloppy Twins 5-2 Eric Haase and Victor Reyes homered and the Detroit Tigers took advantage of Minnesota’s sloppy play, beating touted pitching prospect Simeon Woods Richardson and the Twins 5-2. Woods Richardson made his big league debut five days after turning 22 years old, making him the youngest pitcher in the majors this season. The Twins’ defense did him no favors at the start, committing three errors in the first inning. The Tigers turned the two throwing errors by catcher Ryan Jeffers and a misplay by first baseman Jose Miranda, along with Miguel Cabrera’s single, a wild pitch, a walk and a stolen base into two runs. Woods Richardson, acquired in July 2021 from Toronto in the trade for pitcher José Berríos, allowed two earned runs and three hits in five innings. White Sox2, Padres 1 – Padres clinch NL wild-card spot during 2-1 loss to White Sox The San Diego Padres are going back to the playoffs for the first time in a full season since 2006, a spot that they clinched during the seventh inning of a 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. The Padres were batting when the Miami Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers in 12 innings. The sellout crowd of 41,407 at Petco Park stood and cheered the sealed wild-card spot. The Padres trailed 2-0 at the time but Kim Ha-seong homered a few minutes later. The Padres had a chance to win in the ninth when they put two runners on with two outs against Liam Hendriks but pinch-hitter Jorge Alfaro, who has five walk-off plate appearances this year, grounded out. Cubs 8, Reds 1 – Contreras gets ovations, Stroman goes 6, Cubs beat Reds 8-1 Willson Contreras got several standing ovations in what could be his final home game at Wrigley Field, Marcus Stroman threw six scoreless innings and the surging Chicago Cubs won their seventh straight with an 8-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Nelson Velázquez drove in four runs to help Chicago match its best run since a seven-game streak late last year. The Cubs knocked out a Chase Anderson in a five-run first. The Reds have dropped six straight and 19 of 23. They’ll need to sweep a season-ending three-game series against the Cubs in Cincinnati to avoid the franchise’s second 100-loss season. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Wesneski 3-1) at Cincinnati (Greene 4-13), 6:40 p.m. Minnesota (Ober 2-3) at Chicago White Sox (Cueto 7-10), 8:10 p.m. Detroit (Garcia 1-0) at Seattle (Kirby 8-4), 9:40 p.m.       WSJM/WCSY 9:20 NCAAFB – College Football Saturday (4) Michigan 27, Iowa 14 Eastern Michigan 20, UMass 13 Maryland 27, Michigan State 13 Toledo 38, Central Michigan 17 Western Michigan 44, New Hampshire 7 Notre Dame was off NCAA: AP Top 25: Tide retakes No. 1 from UGA; Kansas snaps drought Alabama reclaimed No. 1 from Georgia in The Associated Press college football poll in one of the closest votes in the recent years. Two points separate the Crimson Tide from the Bulldogs. Six teams including Kansas made their season debut in the AP Top 25. The Jayhawks are ranked for the first time since 2009, which was the longest drought among current Power Five conference teams. The Crimson Tide received 25 first-place votes and 1,523 points. Georgia got 28 first-place votes to become the first team since Alabama in November 2019 to have the most first-place votes but not be No. 1. NCAAFB – Big 10 – Wisconsin fires Paul Chryst; names DC Leonhard interim coach Wisconsin has fired head coach Paul Chryst after a 2-3 start to his eighth season leading his alma mater. The surprising move comes a day after Wisconsin lost at home 34-10 to Illinois and former Badgers coach Bret Bielema. Chryst is 67-26 since taking over as coach of the Badgers in 2015. But the program has been backsliding. Chryst had double-digit win seasons in four of his first five years at Wisconsin and has gone 33-19 since, including 15-12 in the last 27 games. Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, another former Badgers player, was named interim coach. NCAAFB – Dorrell out as coach at Colorado after 0-5 start to season Colorado fired football coach Karl Dorrell after an 0-5 start in which the Buffaloes have been blown out by more than 20 points in each game. The school announced the decision Sunday, a day after a 43-20 loss at Arizona. It’s only the fourth 0-5 start in the program’s history. Dorrell, 58, was brought in as a replacement when Mel Tucker bolted for Michigan State out of the blue in February 2020. Colorado waited to announce the news until after Dorrell had a chance to inform his staff and players. Offensive coordinator Mike Sanford will serve as interim coach. NASCAR – Elliott advances in NASCAR playoffs with Talladega victory Chase Elliott raced his way into the next round of the playoffs with a victory Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway in the first clean race yet of this year’s postseason. Elliott was fifth on the final restart with two laps remaining and claimed control of the outside lane to stalk leader Ryan Blaney. The 2020 Cup champion surged ahead with a push from Erik Jones on the final lap, threw a block on Blaney’s attempt to reclaim the lead and then beat Blaney to the finish line by .046 seconds. Elliott is the first driver through five playoff races to automatically advance into the next round with a victory. The first four races were won by drivers not eligible for the championship in a chaotic start to the 10-race postseason. NHL – National Hockey League – Preseason Last Night Minnesota Wild 3, Chicago Blackhawks 0                at Milwaukee Tonight Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings, 7:30 p.m. NHL – Blackhawks F Katchouk will be sidelined by ankle sprain Chicago Blackhawks forward Boris Katchouk will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a left ankle sprain. The 24-year-old Katchouk played almost 12 minutes during a 3-0 preseason loss to Detroit on Saturday night. He was acquired in a multiplayer trade with Tampa Bay in March. The Blackhawks open the season on Oct. 12 at Colorado. The team also said forward Jujhar Khaira is day to day with a right ankle injury.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 6, San Francisco Giants 1 Chicago White Sox 5, Baltimore Orioles 3 Chicago Cubs 7, St. Louis Cardinals 1 Tigers 6, Giants 1 – Manning throws 6 scoreless, Tigers beat Giants 6-1 for split Matt Manning threw six scoreless innings and the Detroit Tigers scored all six of their runs in the fifth to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-1 and split a two-game series. Manning allowed five hits, walked none and struck out a career-high eight in his first win since last Sept. 15 against Milwaukee. Victor Reyes and Willi Castro each drove in two runs while Kody Clemens and Harold Castro each drove in one with two out in the bottom of the fifth. All six runs were charged to Logan Webb, who was pulled after Harold Castro’s single made it 4-0. White Sox 5, Orioles 3 – Giolito, Sheets lift White Sox to 5-3 win over Orioles  Lucas Giolito pitched impressively into the seventh inning, Gavin Sheets twice came through with the bases loaded and Yoán Moncada pulled off a slick double play to help the Chicago White Sox to a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Giolito allowed one run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Then Kendall Graveman was helped out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh thanks to Moncada’s play at third. The bases were loaded with one out and Chicago up 3-1. Moncada lunged to his right to snag a grounder. Then he touched third for the force and threw to first to complete the play. Cubs 7, Cardinals 1 – Zach McKinstry homers as Cubs beat Cardinals 7-1 Zach McKinstry homered and drove in three runs, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1. Nico Hoerner had three hits for Chicago, and Yan Gomes added two RBIs. Rowan Wick got five outs for the win, leading a solid performance by the Cubs bullpen. Lars Nootbaar homered for NL Central-leading St. Louis, and Corey Dickerson went 4 for 4. The Cardinals dropped to 17-5 in August. Today St. Louis (Hudson 6-6) at Chicago Cubs (Stroman 3-5), 2:20 p.m. Chicago White Sox (Lynn 3-5) at Baltimore (Lyles 9-9), 7:05 p.m. Tigers are off MLB – MLB teams to play all 29 opponents under ’23 balanced sked Every Major League Baseball team will play each other in the same season for the first time next year as the sport switches to its first balanced schedule since 2000. As a result of the format switch agreed to in the March lockout settlement, high-profile games between division rivals such as Yankees-Red Sox, Dodgers-Giants and Cubs-Cardinals will be reduced from 19 and intradivision games will drop from 47% to 32%. A team will host all of the other 29 clubs at least once every two seasons. The season opens March 30 with all teams scheduled. NBA – Kobe Bryant widow awarded $16M in trial over crash photos A federal jury has found that Los Angeles County must pay Kobe Bryant’s widow $16 million for emotional distress caused by deputies and firefighters sharing photos of the bodies of the NBA star and his daughter taken at the site of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed them. The jurors who returned the verdict Wednesday agreed with Vanessa Bryant and her attorneys that her privacy was invaded when they took and shared photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna. Vanessa Bryant tearfully testified during the 11-day trial that news of the photos compounded her grief after losing her husband and daughter. County attorneys argued that the photos were necessary to assess the scene. NCAASB – Michigan’s Hutchins retires as NCAA softball victory leader Carol Hutchins has retired after 38 seasons as Michigan’s softball coach after winning a record number of games. The school made the announcement Wednesday, signaling the end of a career that included 1,707 wins. Bonnie Tholl was promoted to lead the program after she serving as Hutchins’ top assistant for 29 years. Hutchins won a national title in 2005 and led the Wolverines to the NCAA championship game in 2015. She won 22 Big Ten regular-season titles, 10 conference tournament championships and never had a losing season. NFL – National Football League – Preseason week 3 Tonight Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs, 8:00 p.m. San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans, 8:15 p.m. NFL – Hall of Fame Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson dies at 87 Hall of Fame quarterback Len Dawson, who helped the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl title, died Wednesday. The MVP of the Chiefs’ victory over the Vikings in January 1970 had been in declining health for years. He entered hospice care on Aug. 12. “Lenny the Cool” went into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1987. He also was inducted as a broadcaster in 2012. Dawson spent several decades working on local TV and radio broadcasts while also doing color analysis for NBC and hosting HBO’s iconic "Inside the NFL.” The Chiefs intend to honor him during their preseason finale against Green Bay on Thursday night. Len Dawson was 87. NFL – Lions Preview – Lions may have double digits in losses for 5th year in a row The Detroit Lions seem destined for another rough season. If the defense struggles, it will likely lead to at least 10 losses for the fifth straight year, and second in a row under coach Dan Campbell. Rookie defensive end Aiden Hutchinson appears to be a player to build around, but there isn’t much help behind him right now. The Lions should be able to move the ball and score behind a strong offensive line in Jared Goff’s second season with the team. The veteran quarterback is surrounded by an improved group of receivers, a solid duo of running backs and standout tight end T.J. Hockenson. NFL – Bears Preview – Bears enter new era, look to make jump under Poles, Eberflus The Chicago Bears are prepared to enter a new era under new general manager Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus. Chicago comes into the season with few established playmakers on offense and questions to answer on defense, starting with the opener against San Francisco on Sept. 11. The Bears went 6-11 last season and missed the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 years. They are counting on quarterback Justin Fields to make big strides after a shaky rookie year. On defense, the Bears had an offseason contract standoff with star linebacker Roquan Smith that ended without a new deal. Golf – PGA – Top PGA Tour players to commit to 20-event big money slate The PGA Tour is making its boldest response yet to the rival Saudi-funded league. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan has announced a plan for the best players to commit to a 20-tournament schedule starting next year. That means they will be competing against one another up to 17 times and maybe more. That involves elevating four additional tournaments that will offer $20 million or more to go along with the tournaments already announced. Monahan says top players will be determined by a new Player Impact Program criteria. The PIP will double in money to $100 million. Golf – Woods, McIlroy behind tech-infused golf league in TV venture Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are bringing their own version of team golf to the PGA Tour. Woods and McIlroy are part of a new media group called TMRW (pronounced “tomorrow”) Sports. Former Golf Channel president Mike McCarley is the CEO. The first project is called TGL. It’s a tech-infused golf league that will feature six teams of three players for matches on Monday night. The broadcast partner hasn’t been announced. It will be played in a custom-built arena. The long shots will be using a simulator. The short shots will be live. The 18-hole matches take two hours.

Miguel Cabrera added three hits, two runs scored and an RBI for the Tigers, who have won the first three games of the four-game series. Greene had a pair of doubles, while Reyes supplied three hits and scored twice. Drew Hutchison got his first victory since last Sept. 25, allowing two runs — one earned — and five hits in five innings. Guardians starter Cal Quantrill surrendered six runs — three earned — in four innings. Twins 8, White Sox 2 – Kirilloff hits 2 homers as Twins pound White Sox 8-2 Alex Kirilloff hit two of Minnesota’s five home runs, Jorge Polanco went deep on his birthday for the second time and the Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 8-2. Kirilloff had his second career multi-homer game. He went back to back with Polanco against slumping White Sox starter Michael Kopech in a three-run fifth and added a two-run drive against Vince Velasquez in the seventh. Max Kepler and Jose Miranda also connected, and the AL Central-leading Twins finished one homer shy of their season high. Josh Winder pitched five solid innings on short notice, and Minnesota improved to 5-0 against the reigning division champions. Cubs 8, Brewers 3 – Suzuki homers again, Hendricks hurt as Cubs top Brewers 8-3 Seiya Suzuki homered for the second straight night as the Chicago Cubs overcame Kyle Hendricks’ early exit and defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3.

Matt Swarmer, Rowan Wick and Michael Rucker combined to allow just one run over the last six innings. Suzuki’s two-run homer broke a 2-all tie in the fifth. Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run shot for the Brewers.

However Griner’s wife, Cherelle, said Tuesday on a morning talk show that she hadn’t heard from Biden. The Phoenix Mercury center and two-time Olympic gold medalist is in the midst of a trial in Russia that began last week after she was arrested on Feb. 17 on charges of possessing cannabis oil while returning to play for her Russian team. The trial will resume Thursday. NCAA – Pac-12 accelerates negotiations for media rights deals The Pac-12 is pushing up negotiations for its next media rights agreements in the wake of the decision by UCLA and USC to leave for the Big Ten. The Pac-12 announced that its board of directors has authorized negotiations. The conference’s current media rights deal expires in 2024, but the Pac-12 accelerated the timeline for negotiations for the next one with two of its marquee programs headed out the door. UCLA and USC leaving for the Big Ten in 2024 will knock the Pac-12 out of the nation’s second-largest media market. NHL – NHL Draft: Teams weigh risks of selecting Russian prospects The war in Ukraine has added an increasing level of uncertainty for teams looking at Russia-born prospects in this week’s NHL draft. There are fresh questions regarding their availability to play in North America. There is the potential of Russia being shut out in the first round for the first time since 2005. The concerns include when and whether Russian players will be able to travel to play in North America. The draft will be held Thursday and Friday in Montreal. NHL – Agent: Top NHL goalie prospect sent to Russian military base The North American agent for Philadelphia Flyers goaltending prospect Ivan Fedotov says he is at a remote military base in northern Russia. Fedotov vanished last week ahead of a planned move to the U.S. The disappearance of one of the NHL’s top prospects prompted concern for his wellbeing and worry over whether Russians will be willing or able to join teams who draft them this weekend. Russian men can be conscripted between the ages of 18 and 27. Fedotov is 25 and considered one of the top goalies in the world not already playing in the NHL. NHL – Sharks hire Mike Grier as NHL’s first Black GM The San Jose Sharks have hired longtime NHL forward Mike Grier to become the first Black general manager in NHL history. Grier fills the spot that opened when Doug Wilson stepped away for health reasons earlier this year. Grier spent three of his 14 seasons in the NHL with the Sharks from 2006 to 2009 and he has spent the past decade filling various roles as a coach and scout around the league. He was most recently the hockey operations advisor for the New York Rangers. NHL/AHL – Jessica Campbell hired as 1st female assistant coach in AHL The Coachella Valley Firebirds have hired the American Hockey League’s first female assistant coach. Jessica Campbell spent the past year working with the Tri-City Storm of the USHL development program and she was an assistant coach with Germany at the IIHF men’s world championships. Coachella Valley is set to begin its first season this fall as the AHL affiliate for the Seattle Kraken. Campbell was part of the Canadian national team program and played three seasons for the Calgary Inferno of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. She also played collegiately at Cornell. Tennis – Wimbledon – 2 sets down, Djokovic wins 26th consecutive Wimbledon match Novak Djokovic erased a two-set deficit against 10th-seeded Jannik Sinner to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the 11th time. Djokovic came back to win 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 at Centre Court. It is his 26th consecutive victory at the All England Club. Djokovic is pursuing a fourth straight title at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament and seventh overall. He will face Cam Norrie of Britain in the semifinals. Norrie won a five-setter against David Goffin to reach his first Grand Slam semifinal. Third-seeded Ons Jabeur and Tatjana Maria also reached their first Grand Slam semifinals with victories on Tuesday.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 4, Cleveland Guardians 1 – Game 1 Detroit Tigers 5, Cleveland Guardians 3 – Game 2 Milwaukee Brewers 5, Chicago Cubs 2 – 10 Innings Minnesota Twins 6, Chicago White Sox 3 – 10 Innings Tigers 4, Guardians 1/Tigers 5, Guardians 3 – Schoop has 6 hits in DH as Tigers sweep Guardians Jonathan Schoop had two singles to close out a six-hit day, Eric Haase had his sixth home run and Tyler Alexander pitched three-plus scoreless innings of relief to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 5-3 win in the second game for a sweep of the day-night doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians. Schoop, who entered the day hitting .191, had four singles in four at-bats in a 4-1 Tigers win in the opener. Tigers starter Alex Faedo was pulled for right hip soreness in the top of the fourth and Alexander (2-3) took over. Schoop had an RBI single and Victor Reyes a run-scoring grounder to tie it 3-3 in the fourth. Riley Greene’s RBI infield single in the sixth put the Tigers ahead and Haase homered in the seventh. Twins 6, White Sox 3 – F/10 – Arraez gets 3 hits as Twins beat White Sox 6-3 in 10 innings Luis Arraez had three hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single in Minnesota’s four-run 10th inning, and the Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3. Arraez’s leadoff grounder against Joe Kelly drove in pinch-runner Gilberto Celestino. Jorge Polanco added a sacrifice fly, and Alex Kirilloff made it 6-2 with a two-run single. The AL Central contenders faced off hours after a gunman opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago, killing at least six people. The White Sox talked to Major League Baseball about postponing the game, but it went on as scheduled. Brewers 5, Cubs 2 – F/10 – Caratini’s HR in 10th gives Brewers 5-2 victory over Cubs Victor Caratini hit a three-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Caratini’s big hit followed an eventful ninth inning that featured an inside-the-park homer from Chicago’s Seiya Suzuki and a two-out, bases-loaded walk by Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich. Caratini hit a 2-1 sinker from Scott Effross over the center-field wall in the 10th after striking out in each of his first four plate appearances. Milwaukee’s Brad Boxberger had worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 10th. Tonight Cleveland (Quantrill 4-4) at Detroit (Hutchison 0-4), 7:10 p.m.           WSJM/WCSY 6:50 Minnesota (Archer 2-3) at Chicago White Sox (Kopech 2-5), 8:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Hendricks 4-6) at Milwaukee (Alexander 2-0), 8:10 p.m. Tennis – Wimbledon – Quieter, calmer Kyrgios in Wimbledon quarters years later Nick Kyrgios has reached his first Grand Slam quarterfinal in 7 1/2 years with a five-set victory at Wimbledon over Brandon Nakashima of the United States. Kyrgios repeatedly was visited by a trainer to massage his right shoulder. The unseeded 27-year-old Australian hit 35 aces and pulled out the 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-2 win at Centre Court after more than three hours. He was much calmer and quieter than during and after his previous match against No. 4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. Kyrgios repeatedly argued with the chair umpire in that win and was later fined $4,000 for cursing aloud. He also was docked $10,000 after his first-round match. Tennis – Wimbledon – Wimbledon appealing fine from women’s tour over Russia ban The All England Club is appealing a fine levied by the WTA women’s professional tennis tour for banning Russian and Belarusian players from tournaments in Britain because of the war in Ukraine. The Lawn Tennis Association also is expected to appeal a financial penalty imposed by the WTA after no players from Russia or Belarus were allowed to take part in grass-court tuneup events last month at Eastbourne, Nottingham and Birmingham. All England Club CEO Sally Bolton says the club appealed its WTA fine and is “is still waiting to hear from” the ATP men’s tour. NHL – NHL Draft: The risk of attending and not getting selected The NHL draft in Montreal this week is being conducted in person for the first time since 2019 after the coronavirus pandemic forced the past two events to be held remotely. With prospects again in attendance, it opens the age-old question of whether it’s worth going for some at risk of not hearing their name called through the seven-round draft. Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane recalls almost giving up. He sat in the stands through 12-plus rounds over two consecutive summers before finally getting selected 166th overall by Calgary in the 2015 draft in Florida.  The 2022 NHL Draft is Thursday and Friday.  Montreal has the first pick, Detroit will select 8th,  The Blackhawks do not have pick in the first round, they traded the 6th pick to Columbus in the Seth Jones trade. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Seattle Storm at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. WNBA – Griner sends letter to President Biden pleading for his help Brittney Griner made an appeal to President Joe Biden in a letter passed on to the White House through her representatives saying she feared she may never return home and asking that he not “forget about me and the other American Detainees.” Griner’s agent says the letter was delivered on Monday. The Phoenix Mercury All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist is in the midst of a trial in Russia that began last week after she was arrested on Feb. 17 on charges of possessing cannabis oil while returning to play for her Russian team. The trial will resume Thursday. USA Soccer – Morgan scores twice and US women down Haiti 3-0 Alex Morgan scored a pair of first-half goals and the U.S. women’s national team defeated Haiti 3-0 on Monday in the opening match of the CONCACAF W Championship. The tournament determines the region’s four direct berths in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Midge Purce also scored for the United States, which has won the past two World Cups. USA Basketball – A win on the 4th: USA Basketball pulls away, tops Cuba 87-64 There were some cheers for “The Star-Spangled Banner” before USA Basketball’s game in Cuba on Independence Day. And then the Americans celebrated the holiday with a big win. Xavier Munford scored 24 points and the U.S. defeated Cuba 87-64 on Monday night to close the first round of qualifying for next year’s Basketball World Cup. The U.S. is now 31-1 all-time against the island nation. Munford was 10 for 12 from the floor for the Americans. Justin Jackson scored 13 points for the Americans. They’ll start the second round of World Cup qualifying in late August. Olympics – Zelenskyy praises IOC for supporting bans on Russian sport Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked the IOC for supporting a ban on Russian teams and athletes competing in most Olympics sports. On Tuesday, a sports court in Switzerland will hear a Russian appeal to challenge the ruling in international soccer. Zelenskyy met with IOC president Thomas Bach in Kyiv on Sunday. He praised Bach’s “unwavering position” on sports sanctions against Russia and its ally Belarus. Zelenskyy said 89 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have died in hostilities that are now in a fifth month. The IOC has tripled an aid fund for Ukrainian sport to $7.5 million. Competitive Eating – Joey Chestnut is chomp champ again in July 4 hot dog contest Frankfurter-munching phenom Joey “Jaws” Chestnut has gobbled his way to a 15th win at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest. Chestnut powered down 63 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes Monday at the annual exhibition of excess. Women’s record-holder Miki Sudo took the women’s title after skipping last year’s frank fest because she was pregnant. Sudo downed 40 wieners and buns in 10 minutes to notch her eighth victory. A spectator wearing a Darth Vader mask momentarily disrupted the competition by rushing the stage. Chestnut put the protester in a brief chokehold before contest officials escorted the intruder away.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Detroit Tigers 4, Kansas City Royals 2 Seattle Mariners 5, Chicago White Sox 1 Chicago Cubs 5, Colorado Rockies 2 Tigers 4, Royals 2 – Reyes, Meadows drive in runs in 7th, Tigers beat Royals 4-2 Victor Reyes and Austin Meadows had RBI singles in the seventh inning, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2. With the game tied 2-2, pinch-hitter Eric Haase hit the first of three straight two-out singles off reliever Jake Brentz, followed by Reyes and Meadows. Miguel Cabrera had three of the Tigers’ nine hits, leaving him six shy of 3,000 for his career. All of Detroit’s hits were singles. Joe Jimenez pitched a scoreless sixth, one of four Tigers relievers who combined to allow only one walk among the final 13 Kansas City batters. Gregory Soto worked the ninth for his second save. Mariners 5, White Sox 1 – Popups become adventures as Mariners beat White Sox 5-1 Jared Kelenic hit a two-run homer off the right-field foul pole in the second inning, and the Seattle Mariners stopped a four-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on a windy Thursday when popups became adventures. Chicago scored in the fifth after Adam Engel’s two-out popup was blown from the middle of the infield into foul territory behind third base. Engel reached second when his popup to the first-base side kicked off the mitt of catcher Cal Raleigh for an error. Jake Burger followed with a popup that fell for an RBI single. Cubs 5, Rockies 2 – Suzuki extends hit streak to 6, Cubs down Bryant, Rox 5-2 Seiya Suzuki stayed hot with an RBI double in a three-run first inning, Frank Schwindel homered and drove in two, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2. Suzuki extended his hitting streak to six games since joining the majors from Japan and drove in his 10th run when the Cubs collected five straight hits against Kyle Freeland. Kris Bryant went 2 for 5 as the Rockies had their four-game winning streak snapped in the opener of Bryant’s second series against his former team. Bryant was traded by the Cubs to San Francisco last season and signed with the Rockies after the lockout. Tonight Tampa Bay (Rasmussen 0-0) at Chicago White Sox (Cease 1-0), 7:10 p.m. Detroit (Skubal 0-1) at Kansas City (Keller 0-0), 8:10 p.m.                   WSJM/WCSY 7:45 Chicago Cubs (Stroman 0-0) at Colorado (Márquez 0-0), 8:40 p.m. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Detroit Red Wings 3, Carolina Hurricanes 0 Chicago Blackhawks 5, San Jose Sharks 4 – Shootout Red Wings 3, Hurricanes 0 – Nedeljkovic shuts out former team, Red Wings top Hurricanes Alex Nedeljkovic had 46 saves in a sharp performance against his former team, helping the Detroit Red Wings beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 on Thursday night. Moritz Seider, Adam Erne and Filip Zadina scored for Detroit. The Red Wings were recently eliminated from the postseason chase for the sixth straight year, but managed to push past the Metropolitan Division-leading Hurricanes despite being outplayed much of the way. Nedeljkovic had a strong run for the Hurricanes last season but the team traded him to Detroit in July and opted to reshape their goaltender position by bringing in Antti Raanta and Frederik Andersen. Nedeljkovic had his third shutout of the season. Blackhawks 5, Sharks 4 – SO – Blackhawks top Sharks 5-4 in SO to end 8-game slide Alex DeBrincat scored the lone goal in the shootout after having three assists in regulation and the Chicago Blackhawks snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the San Jose Sharks. Jaycob Megna scored with 3:25 left in the third to tie it at 4 and send it to overtime. Patrick Kane scored his 24th goal and added two assists for Chicago. Dylan Strome notched his career-high 21st goal and had an assist and Taylor Raddysh and Calvin de Haan scored. Meier scored his team-leading 32nd goal for the Sharks, who have lost eight in a row. Scott Reedy and Rudolfs Balcers also scored for San Jose. NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – Play-In Round Tonight 9 Atlanta Hawks 132 at 8 Cleveland Cavaliers, 7:30 p.m. 9 New Orleans Pelicans at 8 Los Angeles Clippers, 10:00 p.m. NFL – Lions sign former Ravens safety DeShon Elliott The Detroit Lions have signed safety DeShon Elliott to a one-year contract. Detroit announced the move Thursday, potentially adding a starter in the secondary. The Lions are hoping Elliott’s injuries are behind him. He missed 10 games last season with a torn biceps’pectoral injury and also missed his entire rookie year in 2018 with the Baltimore Ravens. Elliott started in all 16 games during the 2020 season and all six he played in last year. He has 106 career tackles, including 3 1/2 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. Baltimore drafted the former Texas standout in the sixth round four years ago. USFL – New USFL hoping to succeed where other spring leagues failed The USFL kicks off Saturday night in Birmingham, Alabama, when the New Jersey Generals face the Birmingham Stallions. Fox and NBC Sports will each carry 22 games, including Saturday’s opener. It’s the first time since the 2007 regular-season finale between the New England Patriots and New York Giants that a game will air on more than one broadcast network. Fox Sports owns the USFL and is making a $150 million investment over three years. The only similarity between the USFL of the 1980s and this one is the team names. USFL – United States Football League Sunday All games in Birmingham, AL Houston Gamblers vs. Michigan Panthers, 12:00 p.m. NCAAFB – Michigan State searching for Walker replacements this spring Michigan State leaned on Kenneth Walker III a lot during its turnaround season, handing him the ball 22 times a game with a much success. This spring and in the fall someone else will need to run the ball for the Spartans because Walker skipped his senior season to enter the NFL draft.
