After a disappointing series against the Marlins, the Detroit Tigers' offense snapped their 20 inning scoreless streak and exploded against the Diamondbacks. Mark and Evan preview the team's big upcoming series against the Royals and if the offense can continue to hold on the road. The guys also cover Jack Flaherty's recent resurgence in pitching excellence. Is this the best he's looked since 2019? Later in the show, Mark proposes a trade idea that flabbergasts Evan.

Days of Roar: A Free Press Sports Detroit Tigers Podcast

Upcoming series will tell us if Detroit Tigers are for real, plus Jack Flaherty's success and a trade idea

Another 3-3 week for the Detroit Tigers has the "Days of Roar" crew contemplating some tough questions for the ball club. After discussing how the team looks without Kerry Carpenter, Mark and Evan focus in on comments made by president of baseball operations Scott Harris on the MLB Network. How far away are the Tigers from having an established core and what does that timeline even look like? After the break, the guys also examine Scott Harris' comments on Javier Báez. Although the conversation on Baez's diminished hitting seems all but exhausted, Evan has some potentially intriguing data on the struggling shortstop's swing. Later in the pod, the guys cover Kirk Gibson's recent call with 97.1 The Ticket. Are we all being a bit too negative on a team that's only a few games out of a wildcard spot?

Who is Detroit Tigers' first baseman of future if it's not Spencer Torkelson? Also, Dan Petry talks pitching, 1984 season

This week, Mark and Evan recap the Tigers' disastrous matchup against the Kansas City Royals and the unexpected series win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Later, the guys focus on Matt Vierling's hitting. Has Vierling turned things around offensively or should we remain skeptical? Then the guys try to make sense of the state of the bullpen. Is there any option to relieve the relief pitching? The guys also talk about Matt Manning being sent down to Toledo, Maeda's return, Colt Keith's hitting adjustments, a hat tip to Reese Olson's impressive pitching and more.
