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

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.

Talking about Detroit Tigers' young hitters, volatile offense with Bobby L. Scales II

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?
