00:00okay so here it is this isn't a victory okay i just don't think it's quite a big ellis
00:09no uh bold ass predictions for the 2026 detroit tiger season here is mine number
00:14one flag planted the tiger bullpen will have a top five era amongst bullpens in the mlb
00:20their era when it was all said and done out of the bullpen was 3.84 that was 12th in
00:26major league
00:27baseball that's all it was that was my bold ass prediction it's all just about the era huh
00:35yep that's what i said that's that's here are the the recordings sure sure you're not you're not
00:40taking consideration the blown save after blown save i said nothing about blown save i just said
00:45era you were just speaking on the era i said yeah i'll make sure i held accountable for what i
00:50said
00:51not what i didn't say yeah i mean you weren't saying kyle finnegan was going to be great no
00:55you didn't say that now my reasoning was flawed and it's not a it's not a it's not a win
01:00it's
01:00just if this has been portrayed as something other than it was uh but other bold ass predictions i
01:07predicted that kevin mcgoniga when we're rookie will win rookie of the year by such a wide margin
01:12he will be awarded next year's rookie of the year as well uh and scoobo and the tigers will agree
01:18to
01:18an extension call it a hunch that was wrong gators bold ass predictions oh boy max
01:24clark's speed will help the tigers in the second half of the season as he swipes 15 bags after august
01:30first well that uh he didn't he didn't uh swipe that many bags he swiped five yeah yeah that wasn't
01:37uh wasn't quite there gators second bold ass prediction valdez and scoobo both make the all-star
01:43team with a combined era of less than 2.6 that was not the case google's era was 2.79
01:51in detroit
01:52frambo was 4.03 here is my favorite one of all of yours terek scoobo dropped scott boris as an
01:58agent
01:58he did not but it was a saucy call uh gator at four nope five uh monroe free league will
02:07throw out
02:07the first pitch on friday night may first against texas that didn't happen uh and doug karsh will lose
02:14a bet and have to eat a ballpark meal consisting of a hot dog a stadium nacho along with miller
02:19light to
02:19wash it down that just sounds tasty gator doesn't it yes doug you should try it
02:27nope uh david and roseville bold ass prediction for the tigers that win 86 games don't win the
02:33division kevin mcgonigal will be sent back down before july that's a freezing cold take
02:41uh tom and rockford bold ass prediction with the rise of kevin mcgonigal and with meadows starting out
02:47battle batting good enough bias will be released before june well meadows hardly played and um
02:56he in fact played 12 games before he had to leave the team and javi bias ended up playing uh
03:02quite a
03:03bit uh well maybe not quite a 58 games for javi and played an excellent center field until it was
03:08time to
03:08get get others uh from jameel in a truck carpool hit 30 home runs this season
03:16carrie carpenter only had 231 at bats this year and had 13 home runs
03:22on pace for probably close to 30 uh neil in denver every detroit tiger starting pitcher will have 10 plus
03:31wins well let's take a look at that uh frama valdez had 10 kater montero had 10 melton had eight
03:40scoobel had seven flarity three casey mize had four that's uh no uh bold ass prediction kevin
03:49mcgonigal will hit 25 home runs scoobel reach an extension and drop his agent that's from jordan in a
03:54shop mcgonigal finished the season with 18 home runs god what that's a hell of a year though it
04:01really is i mean i look at if you just look at the numbers and see 18 home runs 72
04:05rbis hit 278
04:07806 ops like that's a good year but this is a rookie shortstop making a major impact he was a
04:17seven war player i believe led the american league in war for take it for what it's worth
04:23this person didn't sign it bold ass prediction justin verlander ends the season as the number
04:31two starter with 20 plus wins look at keg i'll say this it felt good at the time they signed
04:44them
04:44right yeah it sure did people were all in there like good feelings we we had nothing but good
04:49feelings when that was like wow look what they just did they pivoted the resource is not gonna
04:53be a pitch way oh baby i remember i remember i remember leaving the studio that day they signed
05:00him and i thought i said listen i don't know what's gonna happen but right now it feels good yeah
05:05it
05:05feels good like i don't know what's gonna happen he's pretty old and we'll see but it's a good feeling
05:10and who knew that that was like the best we're gonna feel until he actually pitched that last game that
05:16was pretty remarkable but it didn't work out um bold ass predictions from gary at work bold ass
05:22prediction riley green disappears again after the all-star break riley green after the all-star break
05:29hit had an 846 ops eight homers 30 rbis at 263 with a 349 on base 13 doubles i don't
05:40know if he
05:40disappeared but in fact that's pretty good 846 ops pretty great uh unnamed texter verlander is my
05:50bold prediction he will have at least 13 wins this season with the tigers
05:55from from knute in westland carpenter will hit 25 home runs runs bias will be cut by august and
06:01verlander will have more days on the il than active well that one he got right
06:08but i'm positive we go to the world series and then get swept by the dodgers that didn't
06:14john not in detroit my bold ass prediction kevin mcgonigal will win al rookie of the year unanimously
06:20and finish in the top three possibly win the american league mvp i don't know if he'll win
06:27unanimously for rookie of the year but i i think he's going to get the the vast majority of those
06:32first
06:33plays for us okay i mentioned earlier um god bless kenny uh who predicted it it's crazy to go back
06:39it
06:40was this season he predicted 87 wins which was the lowest amongst the three of us gator you had him
06:44at 91 kang you had him at 90 i had him at 89 kenny had him at 87 they finished
06:49with 79 correct
06:51uh we were all pretty optimistic it was 79 right uh it was 76 76 is what they finished with
07:02um i'm trying to find i'm going 87 would have won the division wow we were all chesty when it
07:09comes
07:09down to it so here's i mean z is z in a work truck probably had the best preseason prediction
07:19i predict they won't get to 80 wins because the lineup sucks i want the props at the end of
07:25the
07:25season z at work you're getting your props at the end of the season although i don't think it was
07:29because it wasn't because of the lineup but you were closest you said less than 80 wins nobody else
07:34had less than 80 wins their run differential was plus 71 which ended up being fourth in the american
07:42league for a while they were number one with a bullet in the american league and then his conclusion was
07:47correct his premise was wrong do we give him his props anyway we already have should we take him back
07:54no i we've said enough for him he's good uh joe and pinkney also thought it was going to be
08:01joe and pinkney says i hate to be a wet blanket on the wind total too many questions on the
08:05offensive
08:06side i have 84 wins still plenty enough to win the division since the rest of the division is so
08:10awful
08:1184 was not enough to win the division it was enough to get in the playoffs and again the offense
08:15wasn't the
08:16problem um any other here uh okay i mean this one did this person just sent in a text says
08:27it's great
08:28to be so confident in the pitching but when you can't hit it doesn't matter can't expect the pitching
08:32staff to not give up runs like people would i mean i i guess i kind of remember that the
08:37people were down on
08:40the down on the the lineup but yeah nobody had as little as 76 and tigers were above average in
08:46in the american league and in major league baseball slightly above in major league baseball but the
08:51american league they were above uh average there they scored plenty of runs the pitching
09:00inconsistent it's crazy because they did score plenty of runs the offense was was good not great
09:07and yet um scott harris with his comments about adding a free agent bad certainly did not make
09:13people happy what he had to say uh yesterday uh okay so a couple things go vote on the jalen
09:22duran thing and if you comment we might read it on the air uh what do you hope happens between
09:26now
09:26and tomorrow we also got to get into this red wing thing because when pictures emerged of
09:33simon evidson skating with for lunda over in sweden you know you got a you got a saying
09:40that applies here and it's the hell
