00:00um all right i want to play just piece audio before we get back into the eiserman uh deal
00:06so buster only spoke you can do what you want if you think he's a rubik's cube cool if you
00:11respect his opinion also cool but everyone right now it's basically a scuble car wash that's what's
00:18going on in the the afterglow of the all-star game so i want you to listen to what buster
00:24only
00:24had to say and i want you to really focus in on kind of some of what he adds to
00:30the baseline opinion
00:31because it's something we've been saying for a while but i think it's different if a buster only
00:35says it just take a listen we'll talk about it for a few minutes
01:04what do you make of that now we've been saying i'm trading this cat
01:11this guy says keep him and add now we've said if you're keeping him you have to add correct but
01:20my problem is he made the cardinal mistake three and a half at a wild card there's seven teams
01:30it's no no it sounds good when you say it until you actually look at it on paper and you're
01:35like
01:35okay but three and you start moving your finger down the list and wait where oh wow they're second
01:41to last at the bottom of that list it's just i i don't value that as much as do i
01:48have a chance to
01:49win my division and look they're going to play a bunch of garbage out at a break but it was
01:54just
01:54interesting to hear someone because the general consensus across media nationally is the tigers
02:01have to trade it was interesting to hear someone say not only should they keep them they should add
02:08i just thought it was worth playing because there are plenty of people who do want to keep them it's
02:12your prerogative i don't care do whatever you want i mean just know you're going to keep him but
02:16you're getting a compensatory pick for him when he walks away because i don't see a long-term deal
02:23because if it was i think it would have happened already uh david do you have another piece of audio
02:28on there i just want to make sure again paul i appreciate it i didn't mean to snipe you during
02:33the middle of a show there but i thought it was interesting the only other one that was interesting
02:36was he went through teams that could go after school i mean i know the cubs are one yes i
02:42don't think
02:42the yankees are one the rays are an interesting one i know cam and arrow got you know dinged up
02:48last
02:48night pretty bad but like walkie yeah but god let's take a listen
02:59so
03:04so
03:25look the the whole the whole reason you play that is simple like i just don't buy the reporting that
03:31there won't be a robust market where teams are going to trip over their ding-a-lings to get
03:35them hold on buddy and that's my point hold on for both of you thank you because on one side
03:41and i
03:41get it he's asked the question in an interview but on one part you say they shouldn't trade them
03:47but then you're naming three teams here just three and there will be more involved yeah so yes you
03:52trade them and you think listen to those teams they have quality in their farm system they have
04:00some everyday players that they would be willing to part with in order to win a title right here
04:06right now and wait the dodgers are offering what all right you know what i didn't want to part with
04:12this guy but throw him in the mix as well well here's the other problem i have when people talk
04:17about look just get in and anything can happen you're right you know what else can happen you
04:21can lose in the wild card round and then you kept scoobal and got nothing so i i just try
04:27to i and
04:28i understand it's a 36 game sample size but over 162 games the tigers are one of the five worst
04:34teams
04:35in baseball i just can't make five-year decisions on a mini sample size right uh that's why like i
04:41i
04:42love this idea i saw an article in the athletic can the tigers win enough to keep scoobal well i
04:47don't
04:47know man that that ship kind of sailed you got 16 games are you going to decide something that impacts
04:52your organization for three to five years over 16 games i i'd like to think we're a little bit more
04:59mature than that if we're running a baseball team you know what that's the key word is mature and
05:05maturity because that's an emotional decision that is everything that you do wrong that is everything
05:11that gets you fired in this business is you let your emotions somebody has to be smart and say okay
05:16wait a minute this is a fun ride but let's look at the bigger picture here we could still go
05:24for this
05:25wild card we could still go for the playoffs and we could also reset our future if we do this
05:30the right
05:31way that's what i would do keep because you got enough in your rotation you can keep winning you can
05:37keep this voodoo going you'll play teams and all their best players will just fall out right before you
05:42play them and then you could also restack the deck by trading scoobal it's just never going to end i
05:49mean i'm i'm pumped up i could get rid of eiserman that took my number one most hated topic off
05:54the
05:54board i have a feeling scoobal will be eternal we're never getting rid of it they're not trading
06:00what you're about to say david what i was going to say was they completely missed their window by
06:04starting so poorly to even think in my mind to keep him if they were 16 games over 500
06:12right now then i can say you know what i get keeping him because now you're going for it
06:17you're going to add and you're going to actually go for this thing because you could probably win
06:21the world series but they're not that let me but let me stop you right there are you sure they're
06:27going to add because they had i don't know what they're going to do now they had a chance last
06:31year
06:31to add and and and scott came out you know and he didn't want to be haunted by giving away
06:37prospects he's right seeing them do something elsewhere is it i'm fine if people say it's
06:43wrong for me to relate these two i'll never be able to let go of that trade deadline and the
06:49fact
06:49that you were so cowardly you didn't buy as a first place team but i'm supposed to believe you're
06:54going to buy while you're six and a half out of the division three and a half out as a
06:58part of a
06:59seven team goofball wild card like nobody i can't forget it that makes you a smart man because
07:06once again don't think like how you want to think think like the gms here he the beauty of all
07:13of
07:13these guys mike at the coney they tell you the truth they tell you what they're thinking just
07:18believe it and last year when he had an ample opportunity he came out i couldn't pull the trigger
07:26because i was afraid i think the other down to the other the other problem for me and i i
07:31understand
07:32baseball's coin flippy i mean lord knows there's been a couple years my team's been the best team
07:37and guess what we didn't win it now that included when aj and the astros cheated us out of a
07:41world
07:41series but i digress the point is does anyone in their heart believe this team's winning a world
07:48series because it's not about making the playoffs for me that's where i can't overcome that
07:56doesn't mean i'm right i can only just tell you what i'm feeling i can't in any universe believe
08:01that this team's winning a world series no so therefore i'm not sure what we're talking about
08:06but i wanted to just play it for you for the crowd who says keep them bye that's a smart
08:11baseball guy he
08:12went to vanderbilt not because why you're in the graphic right now and that's satisfying for a lot of
08:19i feel like in another life you would open a sports bar called in the graphic maybe that's
08:25right on woodward look look we missed out on the whole uh you know youth baseball stuff maybe that's
08:32it mike we opened the bar in the graphic and and it has an led roof we sell coney islands
08:37in there we get four wax figurines of the gms in this town and we put them in the corner
08:44booth in
08:45the back yes and we rope it off and people can take photos i like it oh man put like
08:50a like uh
08:51doug and scott's tub of pretzels there and people get to put their little piece of paper in the thing
08:55you know what you could even shoot your political ads at in the graphic okay turn his microphone off
09:01they have a they have a steve eiserman gold placard where his chair is just a reminder that he used
09:06to
09:06always sit there with them that's right like they do in vegas frank sinatra once drank here right at
09:12the end steve's table
