- The Tigers Story
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!

I am not against them talking about politics, Meg is just annoying. I will never doubt either of their ball knowledge, though.

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.
