Interesting ESPN story today that predicted something for the Detroit Lions, which got us to talk in the office. We'll get to that today at 10.53. In the meantime, back to your phone calls, news breaking news this morning. And it's not like earth shattering news, but the Detroit Tigers announced that they will have a two-day celebration of Justin Verlander's career the last homestand of the season. It's Pittsburgh Friday, September 25th and Saturday, September 26th. Look, the team faded. It's appropriate. But we also think he might pitch. I don't know how you can have him not at least give it a go if it's going to be it. It's a hamstring and a hip injury. I just would have to think,

2:05Kang, your point of just shoot him up with whatever rubbery hat all over it. Get him out there. It feels like he would have to stand stand on that mound one more time. But 2485 3997 97 James and Bell Vellia 97 one. Hello, James. Hello. How are you? What's up? Justin Verlander. He's at the close of his career. I wonder why they're paying him because he's been a long time on that's a long time for a hamstring injury. And we the fans are wondering about Tigers pitching in general. They traded off two of their best starters. And we haven't gotten nothing. And the bullpen is bad. I mean, you can go ahead and recite the amount of blown saves for me. Would you probably like 20. Yeah. That's a lot. We need somebody in the bullpen. And I say, don't wear Verlanders. I'm out starting too much. If you do letting pitch six,

3:11then he's retiring at the end of the season. It's not going to make a difference at the end of this season. So he's not going to be around in 27. Correct. And the Tigers are not making the playoff. So what's actually this guy James, you sound like you're still trying to make the playoff. No, I've pretty much written that off. I'm worried about Verlander. I'm thinking they should use him as a closer. Let him go out there and pitch one, two, three innings and get it done because the bullpen is not getting it done. And afterwards, I would consider him for the pitching coach. That'd be a real good position for that. But again, when you got all the people trading off all your best talent. And that's what happened. You got a team out there that got demoralized because of the pitching. Well, what's crazy is when they're when they made that trade, James, and thank you for the phone call. When they made that trade, they actually got white hot and clawed all the way back into a playoff spot, which was remarkable. It was going to be there was a lot of

4:15baseball left to be played. And it was going to be really hard to sustain it given what they had given up. You know, I can't. Sure. You could have them come out of the bullpen. James still trying to win games. God bless him. But this team has got to be happy this morning after that wonderful game last night. Big win last night. Oh, big one. Usually bottom line here is if he can pitch, there's he's going to pitch. Yeah, it's ceremonial. And yeah, if you know, he said at the beginning, fans are wondering why he's getting paid because he's under contract. Yes, you can't just stop paying him. Unfortunately, when you have a player that is hurt, they get their money. And that's that's the way it works. So it's let me ask you this. Do you think people in this time? I mean, everybody liked them, obviously. People realize how great he was or whatever. I mean, he's got 266 wins. And I know the win is a little bit of an overblown stat,

5:19but still the closest to him, somebody who's still active happens to be somebody else who pitched here. I sure are at 223. I mean, Farley and there's going to do something when he finishes up at the end of the season that nobody else may ever we may never see anybody get to 266 wins ever again. Ever. You don't think? I don't know. The way the game is, but pictures only pitch five five six innings now. And they didn't pitch as long. The careers aren't as long. I don't know. I feel like I should say I'll take the field on that. But I would bet that we will. But you might be right. You know, things I guess we never would have imagined that pictures would, you know, be on pitch counts and get pulled out of games as early as they did. You know, we wouldn't imagine that 20 years ago. Bill is next on 97 one. Hello, Bill. Yes, just when and thanks for taking I call on the Burmander. I think the Cabrera celebration is

6:19still so fresh and people's mind. That was my favorite moment at the park. But it wasn't just that final day when you know, had standing them only. He was tearing up the whole week. And he will bet on himself. We're talking an extra bass hits. Dringers off the hot dog sign in the ring. So I think there'll be some participation. I don't know how that translates into a picture. You mean you think JV is going to pitch? Exactly. I think there will be some type of athletic participation on his part. It won't be just a celebration because Cabrera, I mean, if people weren't there doing the week, obviously, you know, the rain moved in. It would be warm to play off. He absolutely tore it up because I'm not going out on a sour note. He was, again, he was hitting it. He was hitting it all week. And only at the very last when his family and the crowds and the celebration just he would just overcome by it all. Did the bat go quiet? Well, Bill, I suspect

7:24that you're right. And I don't think these dates were chosen randomly. I think that they are trying to find a time where they can get them back on the hill for this celebration. What's the last weekend of the year? This is it. Yeah. Yeah. They push it, man. But it's interesting. Why do you think they did Friday Saturday instead of Saturday Sunday? Because they don't want to go up against the Lions. Yeah. Football, man. This is it. Maybe that's an easy answer. Let's go to Matt Nann Arbor here next. Hey, Matt. Hey, how's going guys? What's up? Hey, well, I was just listening to the last guy and I realized that it's kind of a shame that they're turning the legacy of Justin Burlander and just an absolute circus performance. Like I think it would it would matter more if you know we had a few games to lose or there was like any meeting of the season, but it's pretty much just like throwing out their self-tickets, you know, put a red nose on them and then retirement in the year and it's just shameful. Oh, what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what they do? Nothing. I mean, if anything, just to like attribute to him, maybe something before the game,

8:29anything, but like put him on the mound just because there's this team is absolutely train wrecked. Well, we don't know. We don't know. We don't know if everybody's out there. We suspect that they are, but we have no idea. Yeah. He might not be ready to go health wise. So it might be heading back to campus. Time to upgrade your entire tech setup.

Yeah, like the first game you fished this beginning of the season, you got torn up pretty good, which I don't think anybody was surprised by. But you almost sound offended, man. For Justin Merlader? No, you sound like you're offended by this.

10:32I wouldn't say I'm offended. I just don't think they should do that to them, just because it's just the legacy as everybody talks about it, and at this point, he's limping to the end of his career. And why I put him out there to embarrass him, you know? Well, I don't suspect he would go out there if he thought that he's, that it would be embarrassing. When what probably would happen happens, and then we get hit. But I also know the professional athletes are confident, and they want to compete. And Jansen says he would love, he's gone from, I want one more game of over the years I've known him. He's gone from, I want one more game to, I want one more quarter, to, I want one more drive. He's probably now, I just want one more play. Yeah. Um, so the mind of the professional athlete doesn't operate, well, many of them, I should say, I think is different than than the mind of the fan. But okay, ESPN did a story day. We'll keep taking your calls on Justin Verland or celebration if you want. ESPN did a story, a prediction for
