Excellent, appropriate, insightful commentary on the toxic behavior among some of the Tigers organization employees. Thanks for tackling the issue and for providing light instead of heat. Keep it up!

Meg talks about players having “stink face” and who should have a beard and who needs to shave it off. There isn’t enough baseball to justify a 90 minute podcast.
