00:00Especially today if Cleveland beats, Minnesota if Cleveland beats, Minnesota in a game that starts just over an hour
00:05And no, we're not carrying it live. Although we suggested we might want to
00:08But if Cleveland beats, Minnesota, then yeah, all the hard math is done and it's literally Detroit just needs to play one
00:14Babe one game better than the Minnesota Twins now
00:17I suppose it's possible that means that Detroit can't go one at eight and Minnesota goes on with nine and then somebody like Seattle could
00:23zoom past them, but
00:25They will have essentially
00:27Put this thing to a point where they don't totally control their own destiny
00:31But the math becomes really easy and for a while there what I mean by that is do you remember how many times you heard?
00:35the following
00:36Well, if the Twins only play 500 baseball the Tigers have to play 800 baseball for two months and they can't possibly do that
00:43What does that mean? Yeah. Well now it's now they're a half game behind and
00:48It's because the Tigers have nine games left the Twins have ten games left
00:51Including the final game of the season the Twins will play against the Cleveland Indians today their last game with the Indians
00:57The tribe the gribe the Guardians, whatever the hell they are
01:01The Twins are gonna play him for the final time today
01:05Then they'll have nine games left if they lose that game
01:08Tigers Twins same record the math is easy just be one game better than them in the meantime
01:12Well, you know, I'm on board with it. Yes, you're Gators in favor of easy math in the meantime
01:18Holy crap, they really are reeling in Kansas City
01:21Who's who's two games ahead of Detroit?
01:24Funny what happens when you sweep it to you. Yeah
01:27And now the Tigers are off to Baltimore for a huge weekend series, and I'm I've readjusted my expectation to me
01:34That's a survival series. They have to survive that if they survive that series
01:39Then they've got six home games to wrap up the season against Tampa and the White Sox
01:45They don't have to play 800 baseball anymore people
01:49They just have to be at this point two games better than the Twins
01:54But that could this game this afternoon feels like a huge one. It's it is. This is a this is a massive series
02:01It starts with the first game
02:03with
02:04the Tigers against it Baltimore is a big one, but the one this afternoon with
02:08Minnesota and Cleveland it would really
02:11Really be unbelievable if Cleveland does
02:14Win the game today, but this series against Baltimore the Tigers as much as I want to get ahead of myself and look
02:20Oh if they if they win this series if they sweet none, uh, it's it's really about the first game
02:25Can they get that done looking at Kansas City what they have in the future?
02:29Three games starting tomorrow. So the weekend series they've got against San Francisco San Francisco played spoiler a little bit this week
02:36Then they go on the road to finish the last six games at Washington and at Atlanta. That's not easy and
02:44This is why it was important to sweep, Kansas City
02:47They try to reel them in because you might be able to pass them you might
02:51But you got it. You got to be able to survive Baltimore survive Baltimore and anything is possible
