Mark and Evan recap another week of feast or famine type run production for the Detroit Tigers. In the shadow of an offense not built to withstand demotions, injuries and underperformance, the guys talk the upside of Colt Keith’s mental tenacity. The guys discuss how the rookie has managed to consistently adjust his play at every level and the promise this shows for his future. Mark and Evan also talk Riley Greene. Has the outfielder swung his way into deserving more recognition and All-Star votes? Later in the pod, “Days of Roar” covers the upcoming trade deadline and what’s at stake for the team, POBO Scott Harris and pitcher Tarik Skubal. Would waiting to trade the Cy Young contending starter after the season ends make more sense than at the deadline? What kind of haul should the team expect for pitcher Jack Flaherty? The guys dive into these questions plus they cover a player’s season ending injury, the roster nuances of bringing Parker Meadows backup, and player health updates.
