00:00Detroit Tigers opened it up at 0-3, but you can put them on the board now with a victory at 1-3.

00:05Now all of those games being on the road. I'll tell you right now, the Mariners, if you told me

00:09they get six runs at home, should be an easy victory. That's a tough ballpark to score runs in.

00:14But how about a 9-6 final for the Detroit Tigers, which included Emerson Hancocks,

00:19two-thirds of an innings pitched, seven hits, six earned runs in that game. Now he has an ERA of 81

00:26for the season, more like Herbie Hancock at that point. The bats came out to play for the Tigers

00:30last night. How about that one? Boom. What a good reference. Good time for a reference pull there

00:36with Emerson Hancock. Nonetheless, not a good start. And again, you don't really usually see

00:42balls flying out of, is it AT&T? What is the actual name of this? I think it's T-Mobile.

00:47Yeah, I think we're going T-Mobile. Yeah, I think it's T-Mobile.

00:50I know it's not Safeco anymore, that much I know. But look, the Tigers are a team that,

00:55some people projected could win the AL Central. It took a huge step last year in making the

01:00postseason and making a little bit of noise, and they're trying to do it again. Granted,

01:04they'd lost some of the arms that were part of that postseason run. So things have changed a

01:09little bit from a roster standpoint. They have Gleyber Torres, as Yankee fans will tell you,

01:13what a reliable bat that is in the lineup and how good he is in the field and how well he runs

01:17the bases and all that. But nonetheless, I still think the Tigers got a lot of potential.
