  • Good content but annoying attitude

    I want to love this podcast. I’m a die hard Tigers fan, love the deep dive minor league content, and the hosts are well informed. But it can often just be too painful to listen to. The biggest problem is the host’s incessant whining about Tigers fans. In particular, the host’s repeated use of his “dumb guy” voice to state the dumb fan strawman opinions, is insufferable.

  • Content is good, but *please* improve audio quality

    Seems like edits are made almost at random - lots and lots of partial words. Maybe this is a factor of speakers leaning away from the mic, not sure, but it’s a very tough listen. Which is a shame because the content is usually quite good. And one last thing: s-l-o-wwwwww d-o-wwwwww-n a bit, guys. You’ll sound more authoritative and your thoughts will stay ahead of your mouth; a win-win. You’ll like it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TMLR Mailbag #1 2024
Q: Do you think some of those prospects could be some process?
There are several pitchers, particularly in the AAAA range, who could be used as trade chips, and guys like Justin Himmelloy or Justice Bigby could be part of a trade package.

Q: How do you see the impact of Eduardo Rodriguez’s decision on the team?
He didn't want to leave a comfortable situation in Detroit for a questionable one with the Dodgers.

Q: Do you think the Tigers will add any more bats this offseason?

We hope to see him get some big league at bats against quality pitchers to see how he actually looks against those pitches.
