The Pistons Pulse: How Detroit Pistons can make the most of their No. 5 draft pick (Originally aired 5-13-24)

This rebroadcast of "Days of Roar" originally aired 6/10/24.

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?

Days of Roar: Tough questions on Detroit Tigers' .500 level of play

The great Dave Birkett once again joins Carlos and Shawn to walk us through their general impressions of the team so far in their preparations for the new season. The guys focus in on Levi Onwuzurike. As the defensive tackle enters his contract year, is he closer to being Brad Holmes' first significant draft bust rather than inking a new deal? Beyond player analysis, the guys get Dave's perspective regarding their favorite evergreen debate on Dan Campbell vs. Ben Johnson's influence on the team.

Breaking down Detroit Lions minicamp with Dave Birkett

This week, Carlos and Shawn have the Lions' defense on their mind as they discuss the pressure on defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. What kind of improvements would the defense need to make for the team to win it all? After the break, the guys focus in on wide receiver Jameson Williams and what he needs to prove this upcoming season. Is the former first-round pick on his way into developing into a viable and consistent No. 2 receiver?
