00:02back to your phone calls in a moment here on karshen anderson um a couple of quick tiger
00:09notes one is yes it looks like justin verlander is going to get the start on sunday or sorry
00:14sorry saturday don't get that wrong saturday uh jv final appearance as a major leaguer and
00:21you know we'll see what comes out of it not a whole lot to cheer about at this time
00:24although river ryan makes his tiger debut tonight he does uh taking on uh the nationals at
00:31america parkish the old five three
00:39uh yes but river ryan gonna gonna pitch tonight that that should be kind of interesting see the
00:43rookie get out there although he's i mean he's a rookie but he's he's not young i mean that's the
00:49thing about river ryan is it it's not like this is some 22 year old or 24 year old or
00:5326 year
00:54old he's a 28 year old uh literally just turned 28 a month ago um but part of the the
01:01big school
01:01bull trade i'm curious to see how he's going to look and see if he's going to be a fixture
01:05in the
01:05taggers rotation next year the only issue i have with this is now he's on the 40 man and if
01:09there's
01:09a work stop and you can't play in toledo next year and that that that is i i don't know
01:17at 28 i'm not
01:18worried about him not playing at toledo i guess yeah i suppose you're probably right but i would rather
01:23have in pitching than not if there is a work stoppage but the guys were saying on the broadcast
01:2910 starts 47 strikeouts nine walks that's great that's pretty good um and the other thing you're
01:36going to find this amusing because i'm pretty sure i i don't know for sure i guess but i thought
01:42that
01:43a term that we've sort of made up here um showed up yesterday when your team is really bad and
01:52you
01:52just want them to fight and claw and you know get in the mix here a little bit we call
02:01it getting on
02:01the graphic which means when the when the standings are showed for like the wild card race you look for
02:08your team are they listed somewhere when you are going when you're trying to go from bad
02:12to decent you're trying to get on the graphic division leaders teams in the wild card teams
02:19in the hunt i flipped over to sunday night baseball last night because it was on 4k and i watched
02:24for
02:25almost 45 seconds maybe a minute nice and they were talking about the orioles and they're battling to
02:32make the postseason and they showed a graphic of june and it was all horse races with bibs on with
02:39the
02:39major league logo and they were focusing on the oriole horse well of course the tiger horse june july
02:48august the tiger horse shows up on the graphic pushing for the lead for the wild card they get to
02:56september and as of yesterday the tiger horse was still on the graphic how they had it still on
03:06the graphic i mean there's seven games back of the wild card i'm just saying i don't mean this is
03:13just i guess elimination no they're officially eliminated well did they officially get eliminated
03:17yesterday because they were listed as six games back on the graphic so this is i see them as an
03:23e
03:24eliminated along with the twins the royals the athletics and the angels seattle is not eliminated
03:32because they still have an outside chance of winning their own division right um yeah i think the line
03:38might be six and and this was before yesterday's results were in but they were still on the graphic
03:42which made me laugh uh all right people been patient let's get back to your calls ryan is in iowa
03:48it is next on 97.1 hello ryan hey guys how's it going what's up where in iowa are you
03:54i'm in northern
03:55iowa up by mason city oh got it i love you guys's show i really appreciate it awesome um i
04:04want to
04:04give my flowers to drew petzing and um jared golf i i'm really impressed with the job that they're doing
04:11this year it's kind of nice to see our offense is is actually you know doing a lot better than
04:17than
04:18they were doing last year um and i i really hope that uh the defense can turn turn this ship
04:27around
04:27because i really like uh shep and i'd hate to see him get fired but um i'd like to know
04:35what your guys
04:36there's two things i'd like to know from you guys what what how you guys feel about this um
04:42derrick moore i when when we drafted him i absolutely loved the draft i i i thought that that was
04:49a good
04:49pick i thought that him and hutch would uh really put the pressure on the quarterback and i don't know
04:57if my expectations were a little too high but i kind of thought that derrick moore would kind of and
05:02i
05:02get the fact that's early but i kind of thought that derrick moore would come in and have a little
05:07bit bigger of an impact than he's had so far and um the second thing i'd like to know is
05:14what are
05:14your guys's expectations for elene mcneil and uh um how many sacks he could have well i'll start with
05:23i'll start with derrick moore i'm a big derrick moore fan as well um but he got hurt in training
05:29camp
05:30didn't participate a ton and he is a rookie and rookies making an impact in the pass rush game
05:37usually it takes a little bit before they they kind of do that unless they're one of these top
05:40end guys like aiden hutchinson who was drafted second overall or whatever it's it's different
05:45he was not drafted second overall he was drafted in the second round so i i guess i would say
05:50it's
05:51you're gonna have to be patient with him i think as the season goes on you're going to see
05:54him become more and more of a pass rush presence and we'll see what dj wanham is as the other
06:01defensive end position is is he is his time going to decrease a little bit because i haven't seen a
06:06ton from him and he's the veteran as far as lee mcneil is concerned i don't know what sack totals
06:12you expect um he's a defensive tackle it's hard i think anything north of five would be a so maybe
06:18what you expect somewhere between five and nine but he's not a double digit sack guy yeah and that's
06:24what i was kind of feeling like i i thought like between five to ten sacks i ten sacks i'd
06:30be
06:30absolutely thrilled with but as far as derrick moore goes there was a play he came in uh against
06:36buffalo and i get the fact that the the play was on the opposite side that he was on but
06:42he was
06:42literally he after the ball was snapped he just stood there he didn't even do anything he was standing
06:48there and i guess that's that was a frustration of mine well i don't know what play i don't
06:54i didn't see that in in real time so i'll take your word for it um but he is he's
07:02played 35 snaps
07:03this year and he hasn't accrued a stat yet and it's a slow start um i'm i'm far from giving
07:10up
07:10on derrick moore they kind of need him though to pick it up as the season goes on like this
07:18is
07:18this is a big boy professional football it's understandable that you know right away that
07:25maybe you're not making an impact if he did what you said he did i'm sure they'll have something to
07:30say about it that would surprise me a little bit because your motors got to be running to get picked
07:35where he was picked um maybe he was confused maybe he thought the play was over maybe there's something
07:39else that happened there i don't know but uh at the end of the day yeah they they could use
07:44some
07:44production out of derrick moore and i think five sacks for a lee mcmill you said 10 i'd be blown
07:49away if he had that many but you know it's collapsed pocket stuff to run kind of position so
07:56248-539-9797 by the way we have word aiden hutchinson will now join us at 115
08:02originally scheduled for 12 45 our weekly conversation with hutch will take place at 115
08:09derrick in new baltimore you are next hello derrick hey i was just i got a couple things i wanted
08:14to
08:14talk about well the first one is do you think them not playing any starters in the preseason has
08:19hurt them um not really because so few teams do um but there was a story today i wonder if
08:31i can find
08:32it uh that a defensive coordinator i believe was quoted as saying offensive as offenses have an
08:40advantage over us because nobody plays in the preseason and we don't really get we get less
08:45scouting than we ever had but i can't imagine they were getting a ton of scouting out of preseason
08:50reps anyway but i don't know so few teams play their starters in the preseason some play them more than
08:55others i can't see it having a sizable difference okay and then i was the the other two things were
09:03um i heard you guys talking about johnny b good best scene in that movie is when they smear that
09:07dog
09:07poop on that football and toss it off to them cops and they're playing football in the front yard with
09:12them cops yeah the with the handcuffs on right was johnny had uh one hand behind his back the convict
09:18grabs the ball and he takes off running he's out of there um and the other thing i wanted to
09:24tell you
09:24a funny story about jerry ball my cousin years ago bought his house and there was a there was a
09:29room
09:30under the steps that was locked and my cousin didn't have the key for it so i jimmied the door
09:37open under the the stairs there and there was probably a hundred empty those costco chicken
09:45containers which with the chicken carcasses left in them save the carcass yeah the carcass like all
09:52the bone and all the carcass there was like a hundred of them under there so i don't know if
09:56jerry was
09:56hiding them from somebody wasn't supposed to be eating on it or what but i thought it was kind
10:01of bizarre yes it is um the random jerry ball reference yeah sure thank you for sharing 248-539-9797
10:09hey champion jump votes get them in uh we'll talk with hutch today at 115 it's karshan anderson 97.1
